Chapter 27

Author: DuckDuckJoe
The screen showed someone's dating app profile with a full page of text in the introduction part.

Giselle gave the long text a quick once-over and managed to catch the most important part. The paragraph said that both parties were to continue keeping their finances separate and pay for everything separately even after their marriage.

Was this prospect even worth considering after reading this term?

Giselle asked, "Are you sure this person is trying to score a date instead of a roommate?"

She was a relationship counselor. However, people usually misunderstood and thought that she was a matchmaker.

At first, Giselle would explain the differences between being a relationship counselor and a professional matchmaker. However, when people started paying her to be a matchmaker, Giselle just shrugged and accepted her fate.

After all, both jobs were kind of related to each other anyway. There wasn't too much of a difference.

Emma clicked her tongue and said, "I can already see how stingy

    Hector knew that the people from the elite social circle wouldn't dare to talk bad about Chester behind his back. However, that didn't mean they would spare Giselle from their mockery and ridicule.He knew they would think Giselle got together with Chester through questionable means. They would deem her shameless for trying to get Chester to support her. In other words, only Giselle would be on the losing end of this situation."There's no hurry," Chester said, his voice low. He then took a sip of coffee and said, "I was the one who liked her first. I won't allow anyone to hurt her with their words."Giselle only deserved nice things, after all."So you're planning to lure her into your trap very slowly? Aren't you worried that someone will get to her before you've even reached your goal?""That's impossible," Chester said with much certainty.Hector continued running his big mouth. "Why is it impossible? Giselle's taste in men is quite terrible, after all. Why else would she i

    Giselle nearly thought that she'd heard Chester wrongly. She'd seen landlords raise their prices at the second inquiry—never before had she heard of one who'd insist on the same low rent.Who was the crazy one here? Herself or Chester?Chester continued, "My friend only needs 300 dollars. If he receives too much money, his numbers won't tally, and he'll need to answer to his wife."He spoke so calmly and matter-of-factly that he didn't look like he was lying. Although what he said was ridiculous, Giselle couldn't help but wonder if it could be a real offer.After all, who said that rich, wealthy people couldn't be afraid of their spouses?Giselle forced herself to believe Chester for the time being. If she were to reject him again, then she would be the one who didn't know what was good for her. After all, she didn't have plans to leave Seaworth City at the moment.Giselle signed the contract that very night. Hector was the acting landlord, and his head was still in a blur when h

    The weather was close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Giselle didn't really plan on going out.Still, she decided to meet Emma for breakfast. She then brought her tablet over to the beanbag couch and sat down, facing the rippling blue sea from beyond the floor-length windows.She took a photo of the scenery outside the window and uploaded it to her social media account.The first person to like the photo was Chester. Giselle stared at his name for a long while. It wasn't until Emma suddenly messaged her with a livestream video link that she suddenly snapped back to her senses.Emma was in the livestream video, answering the audiences' questions on the screen. Giselle looked through the questions and saw that most of them were related to divorce."…Make sure to compile all evidence of our husband cheating on you. Then, get a good lawyer who will fight for all your rights. Illegitimate children have the right to inherit the family's wealth. This is protected by law."Giselle watc

    Linda stormed into the room, fuming with rage. The moment she spotted Giselle, she slapped her across the face without hesitation.But things didn't go as Linda had expected. Giselle quickly grabbed her wrist, stopping another slap.The pain twisted Linda's face in discomfort. There was no trace of the elegant, high-society lady she usually prided herself on."Giselle Stone! Are you trying to pick a fight? You hit Lottie, and now you want to hit me?"Linda had come to defend Charlotte. After Giselle blocked all their contacts, Linda had to resort to hiring a private detective to track her down. Finally catching her, she had driven through several red lights to get there.But Giselle stood there, calm and composed, despite all the insults and rants from Linda. She shoved Linda's hand away. Her eyes narrowed with a sharp, mocking gaze as she said, "You should take your meds before you leave, Mrs. Grant."The best kind of insult was one without curse words.Linda's impulsive sl

    Linda swiped her arm across the table to knock everything to the floor. Soup splattered everywhere, even staining Giselle's pants.Emma, standing by the door, narrowly avoided the mess."Giselle Stone! Without the Lawson family backing you, you're nothing! If I were you, I'd keep my head down and play nice. If it weren't for Lottie's generosity, do you think you could still stay in Seaworth City?"Charlotte's whole persona was that of an innocent, sweet, kind lady. After being away for over 20 years, she was still magnanimous toward the person who stole her life. Everyone praised her for having a heart of gold. Giselle couldn't stand people like that.She clicked her tongue. "Who says I can't find a new backer now that the Lawson family's out of the picture?"For a few seconds, silence fell. Then Linda snarled, "You shameless bitch! Who'd even want you?"Her insults grew nastier by the second.Emma was about to snap, but Giselle beat her to it. She picked up a used napkin from

    The surrounding fell into an eerie silence, all attention now focused on Giselle and Jonathan.As Giselle looked down at the check on the ground, Jonathan spoke again. "Don't you just want money? Take the check and leave with your so-called friend."After the incident at Lawson Manor, Jonathan had nothing but disdain for Giselle. Seeing her face again sparked a surge of anger within him.The murmurs from the crowd rose in volume, but Giselle paid them no mind. At the next moment, she bent down and picked up the check.Emma panicked. "Gigi—"Before she could say anything more, Giselle's next action silenced her.With a swift motion, Giselle tore the check into pieces.Jonathan's face darkened immediately. His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked. "Giselle Stone!""I'm not deaf, Mr. Lawson. Keep your voice down."As she spoke, she tossed the shredded pieces of the check into the air and watched them fall like confetti.Jonathan had never been so publicly insulted.His r

    When Giselle heard the news, she had just accompanied Emma out of the emergency room.Emma's face was pale, with sweat beading on her forehead. She leaned heavily against Giselle.One moment, she was full of energy, arguing with people, and the next, she was struck with a severe case of gastroenteritis."Ems, you should take tomorrow off and rest at home," Giselle suggested.Emma weakly agreed and trailed behind Giselle toward the infusion room. "Phil deserved it. He really lucked out. He didn't even die."Emma continued complaining while Giselle occasionally agreed with her. Once Emma was settled, Giselle planned to buy some water.She walked to the vending machine and bought two bottles of water. After paying, she felt a shadow loom behind her."Giselle, do you have something to do with Phil's incident?" It was Jonathan, who had just come out of Charlotte's ward.He and Phil were close. The police had already questioned him.With so many suspicious details, Jonathan had a gu

    Jonathan had never forgotten about the dress. Every time he thought about it, it made him feel incredibly disgusted."Jonathan Lawson! Just keep your mouth shut if you can't speak properly!" Giselle snapped. She looked at him as if he were trash."What's wrong? Am I right? Did I hit a nerve?" Jonathan was certain that Hector was the one who gave Giselle the dress.His handsome features were shadowed by a sharpness that made it hard for anyone to believe these two had been in a relationship for seven years.Hector silently clicked his tongue in distaste. He said, "Don't be a hypocrite, Jonathan."Years ago, when Jonathan had offered to fund Charlotte's education, it had stirred quite a controversy within their circles.Charlotte's face alone told Hector everything he needed to know—she was far from innocent. Yet Jonathan had fallen for her.Hector didn't inquire too deeply into how their relationship had developed. He just felt Jonathan must have been starving for women.He had

    Giselle did not even care to learn how they managed to convince Charlotte to join them.None of it mattered anymore. Their plan was about to fail, after all. Did she seem that weak to them?While she was still deep in thought, there was suddenly the sound of someone kicking at the door. In the midst of that chaos, the sharp voice of a woman could be heard, saying, "Chester, I saw Giselle and Jonathan enter this room with my own eyes!"The door swung open.The bed inside was a mess, but there was no one there.Disarrayed footsteps headed toward the bathroom. Just like that, a group of people appeared in front of Giselle.Finley, who was the leader of the pack, was stunned when she saw that Giselle was still neatly dressed.This was different from what she had imagined!The calm look on Giselle's face did not look like that of someone who had just finished doing the deed. On the other hand, Jonathan, who was lying in the bathtub… looked extremely miserable.The media who had bee

    The room was dimly lit.There was a thick scent of incense in the air. It did not take many inhalations before Giselle started to feel her body getting warm. She quickly covered her nose.Using the only source of light, she squinted her eyes and moved forward.Within seconds, the rough breathing of a man appeared next to her ear.The shadow on the wall was approaching her. When his hand was about to reach her, Giselle dodged to the left with one swift movement, leaving Jonathan embracing the air."Gigi…" The hoarse voice was laced with a hint of lust.The man tugged at the button of his collar as he approached Giselle once again. He was burning all over. It felt like he was being roasted from the inside. He was gradually losing his ability to think rationally.All he could see was the thin figure in front of him.Giselle was left speechless.They had cast a spell on this miserable man because they were not able to do it to her?There was no denying it.

If Giselle did not go over, they would not be able to carry out their plan!The trio was beginning to grow anxious.Luckily enough, Giselle could sense their desperation. Being merciful, she said, "I mean, I won't go with you unless…"She was undoubtedly baiting them. There was a flash of malice in Angela's eyes as she gritted her teeth and asked, "Unless what?""Unless you let me play with your spell bugs."The moment she finished talking, the lights in the corridor suddenly came back on.Angela's face was as pale as death. How did Giselle know that she practiced witchcraft? She must be trying to trick her!Angela's petite body trembled. Still, she tried her best to maintain a calm composure."W-What spell bug? I don't know what you're talking about…""Oh, really? Then expla

    The crowd was frantic.A tumult of screamings and shoutings bombarded their ears. Chester's voice was swallowed whole by the clamor of the crowd.Giselle moved forward with the flow of the crowd.There was only darkness ahead. Everyone skimmed the walls as they walked. There was a faint source of light in front of them.Before Giselle could even suppress her annoyance, a hand suddenly grabbed onto her wrist.The palm of this person's hand was slightly calloused. Her skin became a little sore from the slight abrasion.It was the hand of a woman.Giselle did not struggle against the woman grabbing her. Instead, she let her pull her forward.They were headed in the opposite direction from everybody else.During this time, Giselle had a sudden moment of clarity.The faint light allowed her to recognize the back and gait of the person in front of her. It revealed the fact that this woman was Angela.Still, Giselle remained unperturbed.As they went up the stairs, the noise and c

    "Mr. and Mrs. Stone, this is my sister, Lyla."Lyla tried her best to smile. In a very soft voice, she greeted, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Stone."Jackie had notified his family members in advance. But now that the actual person was standing in front of them, both Eugene and Moira were surprisingly calm.In short, Lyla felt like a total stranger to them.On the other hand, Giselle seemed profoundly familiar.After having compared the two, both Eugene and Moira kept their true feelings concealed.The news of them finding their long-lost biological daughter had not been made public. They had initially planned to announce the news at the charity banquet.However, they were now having second thoughts."Let's talk about this again when your brother and the others arrive."Upon hearing these words, the smile on Holly's face visibly stiffened.

    When Giselle was kicked out of the Grants' house, she had nothing to her name.Now, she seemed to be shamelessly clinging onto Jonathan, someone who had everything. Charlotte hated Giselle's guts.How could she, after leaving the Lawsons' world in shambles, be living her best, carefree life?Giselle should be having the worst, most miserable life in the slums! She should be trampled underneath Charlotte's feet forever!In stark contrast to Charlotte's rage, Giselle was much calmer.Giselle looked askance at Charlotte.

    As the head of the Lawson family, Jonathan found himself at the center of media attention, especially after Giselle and Chester's public display of intimacy at the gala. "Mr. Lawson, who is your date for tonight? Do you have any comments on your ex-fiancée, Ms. Stone?" "How do you feel about your ex and your uncle attending the gala together?" "Mr. Lawson, would you give them your blessings if they were to marry?" "Mr. Lawson…" The relentless questioning further agitated Jonathan, who was already in a foul mood. Just then, a photographer shoved a camera right in his face. Jonathan's eyes narrowed dangerously. He suddenly grabbed the camera and smashed it to the ground.The reporters fell silent. Jonathan ignored their stares and strode into the venue, his eyes scanning the place for Giselle and Chester. Despite his search, he constantly found himself intercepted by others. …In a corner of the venue, Charlotte stood alone with a wine glass in hand. As the

    Giselle had only met a few members of the Stone family. The first was Harry. Despite meeting for the first time, it felt as if they had known each other for ages. Many others had also commented on how much she resembled the Stones.Giselle was always curious but never felt the need to find her biological family.Now that Chester had brought it up, Giselle found herself deep in thought. Chester quietly texted on his phone.After a while, he asked again, "Gigi, would you mind if I arranged a DNA test?" They would know if Giselle was the long-lost daughter of the Stone family once the results came back. The daughter they had searched for all these years might have been right in front of them all along. Giselle remembered Harry saying that Lyla's DNA matched the Stone family's. But the documents Chester had shown her… Something was amiss. Lyla and Holly definitely had ulterior motives for infiltrating the Stone family. Thinking of Harry's smile, Giselle agreed to Che

    Chester said, "Harry accidentally spilled water on the guest bed. It's pouring outside… Can I stay at your place tonight, Gigi?"Harry grumbled to himself but eventually gave in, thinking about the money Chester had promised him. "It's all my fault! Giselle, you should let Chet stay the night." Giselle was silent. Something felt off, but she couldn't bring herself to say no. After a moment, she stepped aside. "Come in." Harry also tried to follow them inside, but Chester stopped him. "Head home now. You still have school tomorrow." Chester was firm.Harry was speechless. How could someone be so quick to burn bridges after crossing them? How despicable! After the door closed, Harry turned away and immediately pulled out his phone to vent in their group chat. "Chet is unbelievable! He used his money to force me to act alongside him! Do I look like that kind of person?" Sam: "Did you take the money?"Harry: "Hmph! I maxed out my card.
