Jonathan was certain that he had never loved Charlotte. With that thought in mind, he figured he hadn't betrayed anyone. Instead, he brushed it off as a mistake any guy would've made.

While Jonathan was busy persuading himself, Giselle habitually grabbed Chester's arm. Then, she smiled at Jonathan and said, "In that case, be sure to attend our wedding."

If there was one thing that Emma and Giselle shared an interest in, it would be making their exes call them aunts. Just the thought of it could make them excited.

"You're not going to do it."

From what Jonathan remembered about Giselle, she would never do something like that. Seeing the pain flashing in his eyes for a split second, Chester's gaze darkened a little. Then, Chester interlocked his fingers with Giselle's tightly and looked at Jonathan again with a provocative gaze.

"Why wouldn't I? Do you know me that well?" Giselle asked after chuckling. She could clearly see how shocked Jonathan was for a moment, and she smiled even

    After being with Jonathan Lawson for seven years, Giselle Stone asked for their engagement to be called off. She texted him about it, only receiving a reply two hours later.He wrote, "I'm okay with that, but we have to discuss this in person."Giselle sent him her location. It was chilly inside the café; the sun slowly set outside, and the sky gradually darkened.She sat there, her face pale. The moment she shut her eyes, the image of Jonathan and Charlotte Grant entangled with each other would appear in her mind. One was her fiancé, and the other was the biological daughter Giselle's adoptive parents had just found.She had been at the hospital for an IV drip because of severe menstrual cramps. Unexpectedly, she'd stumbled upon the scene of Jonathan holding Charlotte in his arms.Who was Jonathan? He was the heir of one of Seaworth City's most affluent families and the CEO of Lawson Group.With company matters awaiting his decision, every second of his day was as precious as go

    Giselle's words mingled with the pattering of the rain, souring Jonathan's mood. He gnashed his teeth and sneered as he watched her leave without hesitation. "Fine, then. Don't regret this, Giselle!"She faltered before striding off, not even bothering to turn to look at him.It was raining cats and dogs outside. She kept a hand on her belly while requesting an Uber ride. Half an hour later, she was still waiting for someone to accept her request. She frowned and switched to another app, requesting a more expensive ride. Finally, a driver accepted. Linda called her five minutes later and asked, "Were you with Jonathan earlier?"Giselle looked down to conceal the mockery in her eyes. She crouched and rubbed her belly; she was still hurting from the cramps. "Is it any of your business who I'm with?"She'd moved out to live alone since Charlotte's return to the Grant family. Most of the time, the Grants would only speak to her to urge her to end things with Jonathan. She was nothing

    Seaworth City's upper crust gathered for Richard's birthday celebration the following day. It would start in three hours, but many guests had already arrived.Everyone arrived in expensive cars; an Uber pulled up, standing out like a sore thumb. The guests were stunned when they saw who got out of the vehicle."What's going on? Has Giselle fallen so far that she has to take Ubers now? Didn't Jonathan arrange for a car to pick her up?""…Man, she's a mess. The Grant family kicked her out, and she's yet to marry Jonathan despite already being 25. I bet they're not going to walk down the aisle together."The guests erupted into whispers around Giselle. Their gazes were either excited or pitying. They couldn't wait to see her humiliate herself.She didn't care, though. She went straight to see Richard. When she arrived outside his door and raised a hand to knock, she heard the conversation inside."You're about to be married soon, Jonathan. You need to watch yourself and make sure yo

    "Oops. Sorry for accidentally stepping on your gown." The woman sounded gleeful.The hem of Giselle's gown fell to her ankles. When tugged on, it tore at the thigh, vaguely revealing her flawless skin.She turned to see a familiar face—Jonathan's sister, Vivian Lawson. Vivian had picked on Giselle countless times in the past, but Giselle had chosen to grin and bear it for Jonathan's sake.Now, however… Who did Vivian think she was?Everyone waited to see Giselle make a fool of herself.Vivian gave her a challenging look, but a bad feeling arose inside her when she saw Giselle grabbing a drink from the table. Then, Giselle poured it on her, making her scream. Her expensive gown was immediately ruined."Oops. Sorry about that. My hand slipped." Giselle raised an eyebrow and smirked.Her bold action made the spectators gasp. Vivian screamed, "Are you insane, Giselle?"It was Richard's birthday celebration, so Giselle didn't want things to get too nasty. She looked at Vivian and sa

    Giselle, Jonathan, and Charlotte were surprised by Chester's words. When had he ever been so enthusiastic to help someone?As far as Jonathan remembered, Chester had always been cold and aloof. He'd migrated abroad after turning 18 to focus on scientific research; he'd never been close to anyone.Now, however, he was offering to drop Giselle home?Jonathan frowned, suddenly feeling wary. He said, "I can drop Giselle home myself, Uncle Chester.""It's Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday celebration. You have plenty to do." Chester's pointed gaze traveled between Jonathan and Charlotte as he smiled a little icily.Charlotte clenched her fists, feeling uneasy. He was so oppressive. Were he and Giselle on good terms? Her mind started running wild, but her thoughts were mostly still on her jealousy toward Giselle.Chester ignored Jonathan and Charlotte. He opened the backseat door and said, "After you, Ms. Stone."Since things had reached this stage, Giselle had no reason to turn him down.

    "Let me go! I'm going to call the cops on you, you freak!" Charlotte's hair was a mess, and tears streamed down her face from the pain.Emma sneered and tugged her head back harshly. Then, she slapped her, leaving a clear handprint on her face. The other people in the room were stunned by Emma's boldness. By the time they snapped to their senses and surged forward to break up the fight, she'd slapped Charlotte again."Did you enjoy leaning on my husband's shoulder?" she snarled.Charlotte was dazed from the slaps. She didn't even know what was going on! Emma had burst into the room, grabbed her hair, and slapped her without any preamble. She was insane!"Stop it, Emma!" a man roared furiously. He pulled Emma and Charlotte apart, his expression hideous.Charlotte wept pitifully; the others crowded around her to comfort her."Don't cry, Lottie. We won't let you suffer like this for no reason. Jon will seek justice for you when he gets back!""Hey, go get a towel and some ice. Bo

    Jonathan had a bad feeling when he heard that. The number of people in Seaworth City whose last names were Fordham could be counted on one finger. And the only one who could command that much respect… was Chester.The interrogation room's door swung open again. Sure enough, Chester entered the room. He wore a white shirt with buttons all done up and a gray waistcoat on top. His black pants made his legs look particularly long.His features were chiseled, and his hair was neat. The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were sharp and cold. He was the epitome of nobility."Mr. Fordham." The police officer who'd earlier been addressed as "Captain Lane" stepped forward.Chester greeted, "Hi, Mr. Lane."Then, he handed Jim Lane a bag. "Fred asked me to bring this to you."Fred Lane was one of Chester's most capable subordinates. He was a genius scientist who was only 30 this year.Jim accepted the bag and thanked Chester with a big smile. "I don't have to worry about Freddie when I kno

    Chester was so thoughtful that it left Giselle feeling lost. She changed into the new clothes—a loose, short-sleeved T-shirt and light-colored pants. The designs were simple, which matched her style.She drew the curtain and said, "I'll transfer the money for this to you, Mr. Fordham."In truth, she hadn't accepted many jobs over the years. She'd been under too much pressure because of her desire to marry Jonathan.The Grant family wanted nothing more than for her to end things with Jonathan so Charlotte could be with him. As for the Lawson family… there were people there who didn't like her, either.No matter what she did, she felt like someone secretly controlled her life in the shadows. They were making her run into dead ends everywhere.Chester pulled out his phone. Then, he said, "You should save my number again."Giselle stiffened. Upon learning he was Jonathan's uncle, she'd immediately blocked and deleted his number. She thought he'd have no idea, but he'd been aware of i

    Half an hour later, Jonathan was the first to arrive. He had two wounds on his forehead. When he walked toward Giselle with his dashing long face, he looked silly.From what she could remember, the most defeated she had ever seen him was when he stood up for her back in high school. Back then, she was bullied by a school thug, and he was the only one who protected her.When Giselle found Jonathan later that day, he was covered in injuries. That might've been the time she started liking him more. Ever since she was a young girl, her parents had been strict with her, and they never cared about her safety.To put it bluntly, she never experienced any love growing up. That was why she would be easily moved by any act of kindness, and it made her shallow.However, she finally thought it through after that. Why did she need someone else to make her feel secure? Why couldn't she just protect herself? No one else in the world could be trusted, and she was the only person who wouldn't betra

    Feeling guilty, Simon decided to leave most of the family business to Chris. He even said that Chris could have everything that belonged to the Bartons. Conversely, Simon had Chris appoint Larry to a random position in the company with an appropriate income. Chris had never planned on wasting his time on family drama. As for Larry and Jaqueline, he just told someone to keep an eye on them and never did anything to harm them at all.However, that was the reason why Jaqueline became ambitious. She wanted to take everything from the Bartons and make sure her son received all of their assets. But if Larry were to inherit everything legally, then Chris would first have to die.Chris knew Jaqueline was cruel, but he never expected her to go that far. He was suddenly filled with hatred, and he clenched his fists so tightly that the blood in the needle started clogging up.After hearing his story, Giselle stopped asking about it. Instead, she just said, "Just deal with the police yourself

    After asking a few nurses, Giselle finally found out where Chris was staying. She then took the elevator to the seventh floor. But when it stopped on the fifth floor for someone else, she ran into Holly.The makeup on Holly's face still looked delicate, and she looked way better than before. Upon seeing Giselle, she was just as surprised. After recomposing herself, she asked, "Ms. Stone, what brings you to…"Holly was trying to get something out of Giselle as she trailed off. As for what she was trying to find out, she was the only one who knew.Giselle calmly looked at Holly for a moment before smirking. "Why I'm here at the hospital has nothing to do with you, right, Ms. Sharp?"It was just a casual response, but Holly found it upsetting. She stiffened for a couple of seconds.The elevator continued its ascent, and when they finally reached the seventh floor, she slowly said, "You don't have to be so hostile around me, Ms. Stone. I don't mean you any harm. If I've offended you i

    "Name?""Giselle Stone.""Why did you crash into the police station?"The question made Giselle hesitate a little. When the blonde policewoman looked at her, Giselle said, "If I tell you that I mistook the gas pedal for the brakes, would you believe me?"Giselle had planned to drive into the police station's gate all along. She didn't know who the people chasing after them were. If they were somehow related to the police, then she would be falling into a trap by going to the station. However, the same wouldn't apply if she damaged public property.After all, Chris would be the one paying for the damages and not her. As for Jonathan, he was just an unlucky man who couldn't blame her for anything.The police continued questioning Giselle a little while longer until Jackie and the rest showed up. Harry anxiously ran into the police station and grabbed her shoulders with both hands. "Giselle! I was worried sick! If something had happened to you, I would never forgive myself!"The da

    Giselle's phone was on silent, and when it started to vibrate, she was so focused on driving that she didn't realize what was happening. Jonathan quickly glanced at her and sneakily ended the call."The password is six sixes." Giselle suddenly remembered she hadn't given Jonathan the password to her phone. Upon hearing the current password, he was heartbroken. It felt as if a thousand needles were stabbing into his heart, and it was suffocating him.In the past, all of Giselle's passwords had something to do with him. It would either be his birthday or their anniversary. He also had free reign of her phone, allowed to look at it whenever he wanted. He could even log into any of her social media accounts. When it came to him, Giselle had nothing to hide whatsoever.However, she had already changed her password. When she'd done it previously, he'd thought she was being childish and would lecture her ceaselessly. Jonathan would tell her to grow up, saying that they were adults and that

    Jonathan would transfer an allowance to Giselle every month. Other than that, he also gave her a black card without a spending limit. But when they broke up, she'd returned everything to him. As it turned out, she never touched a single cent belonging to him.Presently, he was frustrated for a long while, wondering if Giselle was trying to scam some money out of him."If you don't want to pay, you can head back to your car. However, I should remind you that the option doesn't seem available anymore."He was left speechless when he heard that, thinking that her words made no difference. "A million dollars," he offered."Three million dollars," she answered.Jonathan's face fell. "Two million."With that, Giselle was satisfied, and she unlocked the doors. "Deal!"Meanwhile, Chris was at a loss for words while witnessing everything.After Jonathan got in the backseat, Giselle reluctantly gave him a friendly reminder for the sake of the promised two million dollars.

    Jonathan was only wearing a green sweater in the frigid weather. His whole body was cold, and his face was pale. He knocked on the car window so hard that his knuckles turned red, yet he didn't stop pounding against it. To put it simply, he was now infuriated.After all, he was supposed to return to the hotel. However, a car suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he bumped his forehead hard when the driver slammed on the brakes. The warm blood around his wound had already dried up, and he looked terrifying."I'm telling you to get out! Didn't you hear me, you—"Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly stunned silent. When the car window rolled down, he saw Giselle's familiar face, looking pale as the headlights shone from the car in front of her. There was no emotion in her beautiful eyes. Her hair was in a mess, and she just coldly looked at him.Giselle was a little surprised to see Jonathan there. She never thought she'd still have to see his annoying face when she was

    "Put on your seatbelt, Mr. Barton," said Giselle.Chris had looked into her past before, and she didn't seem to have any experience in racing. In fact, he had never even seen her drive a car before. He only put his life in her hands because he had no other choice this time.Before he could start praying for everything to go well, the car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The people following them tried to catch their breaths as they watched Giselle and Chris leave."What should we do now? Are we going after them?""Of course! Why wouldn't we? Hurry up and bring the car around! This is 100 million we're talking about here! Once we're done with this job, we won't have to worry about money ever again! The terms haven't changed. Whoever catches Chris Barton first shall get the most money!"…Chris held the handle on the car tightly in fear. He looked cold and aloof, but his heart was racing nonstop.
