Chapter 289

Author: DuckDuckJoe
Before anyone saw the woman, they could already hear her voice.

"Oh, Perry!" The clear voice was getting closer.

Then, a petite woman appeared at the entrance. Her soft black hair cascaded down her back, and her facial features looked simple. No matter how long everyone looked at her, she didn't look impressive at all.

With that thought in mind, they couldn't believe that the woman was Perry's mistress. They wondered if there was something wrong with his judgment. After all, that woman couldn't even begin to compare to Jean. One of them was an ordinary woman, while the other was from a wealthy family.

They couldn't understand why Perry would lower his standards for her.

"Why are you here, Angie? Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"

Although it sounded like Perry was lecturing the woman, he was actually looking at her with a loving gaze. Despite being 50 years old, his body was well-built like a man in his 30s because he often worked out.

His skin was also healthily tanned. So, wh

    Jean took a deep breath and walked up to Chester before shaking her head."Let me deal with this myself," she said calmly. She couldn't hide how tired she looked. Jean had less than four hours of sleep in the past three days. When she did sleep, she would always jolt awake due to paranoia. At that moment, she was feeling tense and enduring the pain inside her.When Jean stood in front of Perry, he was holding Angela in his arms. Jean's smile turned colder when she saw that, and she called his name. "Perry."Before he could say anything, Angela poked her head out and timidly greeted Jean. However, Jean coldly glanced at her. "Did I call you?"Jean wasn't holding back anymore, and Angela's face turned pale immediately. However, Angela didn't shed any tears at all. Instead, she felt aggrieved and pouted.Perry frowned at that. "Jeannie, I was the one who betrayed you. If you're upset, vent your frustrations on me and leave Angie out of it." After saying that, he gently said to Ange

    Jean was from the Fordham family. She was the epitome of wealth and prestige. Money? She was never short of that.Angela's words were an insult. Which young lady of a wealthy family ever lacked money?Over the years, Jean had earned far more on her own than Perry ever had, even without relying on her family's wealth.Both Perry and Angela stared at her in disbelief. For a moment, Jean's aching heart calmed. The burning pain in her palm heightened her focus, and her thoughts had never been clearer.Even Perry's betrayal didn't feel so unbearable anymore. Jean had her pride.Before Perry could speak, Jean said coldly, "Perry, I'll have the divorce papers drafted. Just remember, you're the one who betrayed our marriage."Jean looked exhausted, but her gaze was calm and resolute. No matter how much she loved Perry or how hard it was to let go, she would never accept a cheater. Perry simply disgusted her.Angela clutched her face and huffed. She wanted to argue but was suddenly tackl

    Giselle's gaze was fixed on Perry. Suddenly, she tugged at Chester's sleeve, signaling him to lean down. "Don't you think Perry is acting strange?"Chester didn't observe Perry as closely as Giselle did. He then scanned Perry and narrowed his eyes. "He does seem a bit off."Perry kept staring adoringly at Angela and didn't get angry no matter what she said. Did he love Angela that deeply? Giselle didn't believe it.She bid farewell to Jean before dragging Chester away. As they passed Angela, Giselle suddenly stopped in her tracks.Angela shivered instinctively.Giselle whispered, "Does Perry really love you that much?"With that, Giselle walked away, leaving Angela with a growing sense of fear.The cold wind outside howled as Chester opened the car door for Giselle. Looking at the scenery outside, Chester made a call.He and Giselle were thinking the same thing. Perry's behavior was far from normal. It was as if he was under some kind of spell."Investigate someone named Angel

    The day before the charity gala, Chester brought Giselle to buy a dress.Since Chester made a reservation at the boutique, they were escorted in as soon as they arrived."Mr. and Mrs. Fordham, this is the masterpiece of our store's top designer. It just arrived from abroad today." The salesperson introduced the gown while directing her assistant to bring it out.The dress was black, featuring an off-the-shoulder design that exuded pure elegance. With minimal decorations, it was simple yet beautiful.Giselle immediately liked it."Would you like to try it on?" Chester asked. He wasn't wearing glasses today, and his eyes shone with joy. It seemed he was pleased by the salesperson addressing Giselle as "Mrs. Fordham".Yesterday, Chester had asked Giselle to make things official between them, but he hadn't waited for her answer. Before she could speak, he had changed the subject, perhaps out of fear of rejection.He promised her a surprise instead. December had arrived, and the new

    Giselle called for the salesperson outside.The curtains were soon pulled open. With her back to the opening, Giselle's hair cascaded over her shoulder."The zipper seems stuck. Could you please help me?" Giselle asked without turning back, one hand bracing against the railing in front of her.The person behind her stepped closer.Chester gently touched the zipper of her gown. His fingers brushed against Giselle's smooth back, sending shivers down her spine.Realizing something was amiss, she turned around, but a hand rested on her shoulder. Then came a husky voice. "Don't move, Gigi." Giselle's mind went blank. She called for the salesperson, so why did Chester come in instead?She flushed in embarrassment. Her knuckles turned white from how tightly she was gripping the railing. She tried to steady her racing heart and lowered her gaze to hide the emotions in her eyes.Chester was standing very close. The overhead light cast their shadows on the wall, the two silhouettes int

    Giselle's heart skipped a beat as Chester's hand moved. She stood still and stared at him intently.Chester's hand extended past her, gently brushing aside the stray strands of hair from her face and tucking them behind her ear. His fingertips grazed her cheek, leaving a tingling sensation on her skin.Giselle's lashes fluttered at the touch. The intimate interaction filled Finley with jealousy, her emotions mirroring Charlotte's bitterness. However, Finley couldn't intervene or reprimand him. Her noble upbringing prevented her from acting rashly or revealing her true feelings. To onlookers, Chester and Giselle appeared like any couple who were madly in love. Giselle feigned composure, but the salespeople around them couldn't contain their excitement. One of them giggled with admiration. "Mrs. Fordham, Mr. Fordham treats you so well!" "I'm not—" Giselle was about to deny her relationship with Chester but the latter interrupted her by handing over a card. "We'll take th

    One of the gala's requirements was a contribution of over a million dollars to a charitable organization. Giselle might not meet the requirement, but Chester's wealth and influence could easily make up for it. Finley scoffed at the thought. She regained her composure and urged Charlotte to pick a gown. Then, she stepped aside to call Sebastian. …After leaving the boutique, Chester took Giselle to shop for jewelry. Whenever Giselle stared at an item for even a second longer, Chester would immediately purchase it and have it delivered to her home. Giselle sighed. "I really don't need all this, Mr. Fordham…" Yet Chester continued. He wasn't fazed by the amount of money he was spending, especially with the store staff showering him with compliments. "Sir, you treat your wife so well!" "Sir, this matching ring set is perfect for you two. It symbolizes eternal love and unity!" "Sir, take a look at this piece. It's our designer's masterpiece! I'm sure it would look pe

    Chester's voice echoed in the living room. The warm light cast a glow on his handsome features, his lashes casting shadows beneath his eyes. He resembled a knight from a fantasy story. Giselle's hands tightened around the glass, her palms wet with sweat. She hummed softly and the atmosphere between them tensed.The doorbell broke the silence.When Giselle got up, a flicker of annoyance flashed across Chester's gaze. He didn't have to guess. At this hour, the only person likely to show up at Giselle's door was Harry. A few hours earlier, Harry had posted a picture on social media announcing his return. Judging by the time, he should have just arrived home. When Giselle opened the door, Harry's bright smile greeted her. He was holding bags full of gifts."Giselle, these are presents I got for you! I bought them using the money I got for my birthday!" Harry had been receiving money for his birthday for the past 18 years. It was at least a few million dollars.In the past,

    Jonathan called Chester by his first name. He was not even willing to address him with due respect.Jim sensed the gravity of the situation and immediately had the other officers leave the room, giving the two some privacy.With the sound of the door locking, the atmosphere in the entire room fell below freezing temperature.With tensions running high, nobody dared to even breathe.Jonathan stood in their way, his tall stature overwhelmingly intimidating.As he stood face to face with Chester, their imposing presence seemed to match evenly.Jonathan looked like fireballs were about to shoot out of his eyes while the latter's eyes were as calm as a still, bottomless abyss, ready to erase his opponent's existence without leaving so much as a single trace.Vivian was so overwhelmed that her tears wouldn't come. She was really afraid that Jonathan would beat Chester up.The current situation was way more serious than her writing a love letter to her classmate."Why should I give y

    Jim handled everything professionally."Jon…" Vivian reached out, tugging at Jonathan's sleeve. "Don't let mom know. She's going to be so mad."Vivian knew Jean's temper all too well. If she had not been afraid of Jean finding out about her love letter to Harry, Vivian would not have made Jonathan come pick her up from school.But if Jonathan had not come, the consequent chain of events would not have happened.Jonathan exuded an intimidating energy as he remained silent.Meanwhile, Giselle wasn't the least bit bothered.Harry was the same. After all, he had only done what he did to stand up for Giselle. Even if his family members were to come bail him out, none of them would be mad at him."Ms. Stone."Jim turned toward Giselle and said, "You may have Mr. Fordham come get you."Mr. Fordham. Chester Fordham.Jonathan couldn't bear hearing this name.As soon as he heard this name, he would immediately recall the words Giselle said. "Well, obviously I'm after his body."Absol

    She was after his body. Giselle was going after Chester for his body.Jonathan completely lost all of his sanity when he heard those words, delivering another blow to the board.He could not be bothered about the excruciating pain coming from his knuckles. Through gritted teeth, he demanded answers from Giselle."You've slept with Chester?"Before Giselle could even respond, Harry, who had just returned from retrieving his phone, ran over at full speed.Without any explanation whatsoever, he punched Jonathan in the face."Now that I'm here, don't even think about hurting Giselle!"As someone young, tall, and one who worked out daily, Harry's one punch broke the skin on the corner of Jonathan's mouth.The piercing pain made Jonathan give up all his reasoning.Immediately, the two men broke into a fight.Vivian scrambled to get up from the floor, looking miserable. She wanted to pull them apart but was afraid she might get injured in the process.As such, she just glared at Gi

    When they were at the hospital the other day, Chester made Vivian feel awfully stressed. This uncle of hers was way too overprotective of Giselle.If Jonathan were to lay a finger on Giselle, Chester would definitely hunt him down. And when that time came, the fact that she twisted the truth would be revealed.Vivian gritted her teeth. The fear she felt outweighed her reasoning. Without a second thought, she rushed over."Jon, stop!"Vivian held onto Jonathan's arm. The blood vessels in his knuckles popped as he squeezed every word out with restraint. "Let go."This was the first time that Vivian had ever seen Jonathan like this. She clenched down on her molars and cried out, "No!"The siblings' double act was absolutely comedic in Giselle's eyes. She rubbed her wrist which had turned red from Jonathan's grip. Then, she turned on her heels, wanting to leave.Jonathan jerked free from Vivian's grasp, stretching out his hands as he tried to grab onto Giselle once again.However,

    "Giselle, I need to ask you something."The two looked at each other. One had an indifferent expression while the other looked like they could barely tolerate this request.Giselle tried to free herself but her wrist remained firmly locked in his grip. The heat between them instinctively triggered a visceral sense of disgust in her.Her stomach churned violently, and her expression went dark. "Let go."Jonathan kept his stare on her with eyes that were deep and enigmatic. "If I don't—" Before he could even finish his sentence, he suddenly gasped in pain.Giselle did not care if she hurt him. She had swiftly raised her knee and went for his groin. Even though Jonathan reacted in time, she was too fast for him to avoid the blow entirely.The anger in his eyes surged. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "Giselle Stone!"This "new" Giselle felt extremely foreign to Jonathan.The Giselle he remembered was someone gentle and caring. There was never a time she would be this violent.

    The moment Giselle heard Jonathan call out her name in full, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. Had he recovered his memories?Giselle scoffed. "Am I wrong? Mr. Kendrick is asking Harry to pretend that he has feelings for Vivian and to wait until the exams are over to talk about it. Isn't he asking the kid to lie?"Harry has made it crystal clear that he has no feelings for Vivian. A clear rejection is the best solution. You're afraid that Vivian's state of mind might be affected, but what about Harry's?"Every word was carefully chosen.Even though Greg did not explicitly say it, Giselle understood his underlying intention without misconstruing anything.Harry clapped his hands as sparkles danced around his eyes. "You got it! I don't like Vivian. I don't like her now and I certainly won't like her in the future!"Vivan was not his type to begin with. What's more, after learning about the things she had done to Giselle, the chances of him liking Vivian were even slimmer

    Jonathan's towering figure emerged in the doorway.Instead of his usual formal suit, he was dressed in a hoodie and cropped pants.To put it simply, he looked like a mannequin. His handsome face was as cold as ice, making him look unapproachable. As his eyes swept across the room, he suddenly paused when his gaze fell upon Giselle.The hand by his side instinctively clenched. It seemed like he did not expect to find Giselle here.He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was reminded of the ignored text and what Vivian had told him.He pursed his lips for a moment, forcing the words back down. "Now that we have everyone's guardians here, let's talk about what happened earlier today."Greg Kendrick, the homeroom teacher, pushed his glasses up and cleared his throat before continuing, "I understand how kids your age are going through a phase where you yearn for the opposite gender, but this is the time to be focusing on your studies.

    Even Hector was startled by the absurdity of his own thoughts. He did not dare to venture further.Chester texted back, "Though you won't, I will."The five words almost made Hector's jaw drop to the floor. Did Chester just say he would be the Stones' matrilocal son-in-law?Hector was wondering if he had read the text wrongly. He rubbed his eyes and found that the text remained unchanged.He immediately replied, "Chet, are you serious?"Unfortunately, Chester had already gone offline and did not reply to his last text message.…The next day, Giselle met up with several more candidates who came in for the job interview.During the last round of interviews, she had her eye on a 22-year-old candidate who was a young woman with a rounded face. She wore rectangular-framed glasses with her dark hair tied back into a neat ponytail. She was a person of few words but did things quickly and efficiently. Her sparkling eyes looked full of vigor as well.These were the qualities Giselle

    The temperature kept rising within that confined space.Giselle stared back at Chester with her big, doe eyes. They sparkled in the night, and her red lips were slightly parted, looking every bit an mesmerizing enchantress.Chester, who was already deeply in love with Giselle, found himself unable to resist it.His long lashes drooped, casting shadows over his eyes.The hand by his side curled up in restraint. His dark pupils were bottomless as he looked at her, much like the deep sea.Chester's voice was hoarse as he forced out, "What question?""How are you so confident that I am the Stone family's child?"He was even more sure of it than she was.The paternity test report had also stated that she had no blood relation to the Stone family. But Chester remained adamant that she was.Chester responded eloquently, "I trust my intuition."Their eyes locked mid-air. Hidden tensions simmered.A brief moment later, Giselle flashed a faint smile and arched a brow as she asked, "Bu
