Chapter 294

Author: DuckDuckJoe
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,

    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. Might as well take it if it's free!"

    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

    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'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

    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

    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
