Chapter 320

Author: DuckDuckJoe
The ward was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant that stung the nose. Jonathan's muttering of Giselle's name was gradually weakening until it disappeared entirely. It was only then did Chester stop frowning.

"Chester, I—"

"You don't have to say anything, Jean. I'll do it."

Right away, Chester cut Jean off before she could even finish her sentence.

A look of surprise momentarily flashed across Jean's eyes before she quickly regained her composure. The thousand words that inundated her mind were condensed into two words. "Thank you."

Since she was in the field of scientific research, having to handle such a level of stress was manageable if it was only for a few days. However, if this continued, Jean would not be able to handle it.

For the past few days, she only managed to sleep for a maximum of three hours per day.

She had to take ibuprofen every day or she would feel nauseous.

If Chester was willing to help her out, the people plotting against the Lawsons would defin

However, when she heard that familiar voice, she instantly became wide awake."Gigi…"With a hard tap, Giselle hung up the phone resolutely.The remaining drowsiness she felt disappeared instantly without a trace.Jonathan was like a ghost that was constantly lingering around her.She had already blocked his contact but he called her using a new phone number.Giselle felt extremely annoyed by this. She had not shown Jonathan an ounce of mercy the evening before and had openly kicked him out.Even though Jonathan was technically already 26 years old, on the inside, he was his 18-year-old self.Giselle knew this version of Jonathan like the back of her hand. He was a high-spirited young man with a huge ego. Normally, if he were to be treated this way, he would have never returned.Surprisingly, he was calling the person who had humiliated him on his own accord.

    Giselle sent a private message to the accounts that had won the giveaway. Only after she had given them the cash prize did she start her live stream.As usual, she kept her face hidden.Even when the netizens bombarded her with comments asking her to turn on her camera, she pretended not to have seen them."Why would a pretty person not want to show their face?""Forget it. Madam's hands are pretty too. If I had hands like these, I'd be happy everyday.""Hehehe! I won't say who got the 1,000 dollar giveaway. (That's right—it's me!)""The one above can see himself out. Be careful, you might lose it all by showing it off everywhere."The netizens' comments were non-stop. The entire live stream was filled with the graphical effects of them sending gifts to Giselle.In the past, the carousel gift that was worth $25 could allow netizens to request to join a host's stream.This time was no exception.Soon, someone requested to join her stream."Hello Madam. I have a question to as

    Vivian ran into the room, still clad in her school uniform. With Jean being strict on her, many of her old bad habits had been corrected.At least she was no longer labeled as a "crazy girl".She immediately threw herself into Jonathan's arms. She could no longer control her emotions and just burst into tears."Who made you cry, Vivi?"Jonathan let Vivian hug him. He only had this one sister, so he had pampered her since they were little. When had she ever suffered any form of injustice before?"Tell me and I'll make them pay."With someone comforting her, Vivian's tears couldn't stop falling out. She wanted to pour out all of the grievances she had suffered over the years.When the caretaker saw this, he knew to leave the ward and let the two siblings have their privacy. For a moment, the ward was filled with only the sobs of a female.Only when she was done crying did she lift her head up. She looked at Jonathan with bloodshot eyes and said, "I'm so glad you're fine, Jon."

    The lady who had joined the live stream recounted with nostalgia.She paused for a few seconds before continuing, "What I can't understand is… can men really have a change of heart within such a short time? It was like he had become another person after we started dating. We've only been together for three months.We couldn't have reached the stagnation phase already, right?"She had asked her friends and other relationship advisors before but had never gotten an answer that satisfied her.She had followed Giselle's account for a long time.Perhaps it was fate because at a time she was feeling the most confused, Giselle, who had not been active for a long time, actually returned to the platform for a live stream.The term "fuckboy" kept popping up in the chat box.Some netizens also shared their personal experiences."Hey, listen to me. Break up with him immediately. He's definitely not that into you.""Isn't the third month still within the honeymoon phase? I've been with my

    Everyone went silent at the revelation.There was just too much to unpack in that one sentence.If someone was with you when they don't even like you, then what was the point of being together?The lady was at a loss for quite some time. She seemed to be processing what Giselle had just said.After some time, she finally regained her voice. "Madam, so you're saying my boyfriend doesn't even like me, and that he only got together with me solely because that female friend in his group likes men who already have a significant other?""That's one way to put it." Giselle's calm voice was persuasive and convincing.The chat box was active again."I think my brain shrunk. What kind of perverts are they? What kind of moral compass does one have to want to be someone else's mistress?""Are tarot cards so magical that they could reveal these hidden secrets? Madam, could you reply to my private message? Could you read mine as well?""In my 30 years of living on this earth, this is the fi

    A strange sensation surged in Giselle's heart.When the two sat down to eat, Harry deftly pulled a wingman move. "Giselle, I'll let you in on a secret. Actually, it was Chester who made me come here. "The food on the table was prepared by him. He had ordered them in advance and had me collect them after school."How could she possibly not be touched by such a thoughtful man?That said, Giselle's response was completely different from Harry's expectation.She was too calm.She only responded with three words. "I got it.""Was that it?" Harry thought to himself.Still, Harry did not give up. He continued pressing. "Giselle, don't you have anything else you'd like to say?"Giselle gave him a weird look. "What would you like me to say?"Harry was humbled.He silently picked at the quinoa in his bowl. The screen of the phone beside him suddenly lit up. Someone was calling him."Harry, are you not coming home this weekend?"It was Moira. Harry swallowed his food. "Nope. I'm d

    "Giselle."The man's voice was filled with weariness.He blocked Giselle's path. As his tall stature towered over her, she became enveloped in his shadows.His face was shrouded by darkness.Giselle took a step back warily and looked at the unexpected visitor with a cold expression. "Sebastian, I never expected you to have the natural talent of a stalker."Her sarcastic mockery angered him, but only for a little while.He held back his rising anger. His gaze was deep and intense as he said, "Let talk, Giselle."He was already trying his best to stay as calm as possible. Nevertheless, the unmistakable firmness in his words remained.But Giselle was a rebellious one.She immediately crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Do I have to listen to you? Who do you think you are?"Every single member of the Grant family was deplorable. And Sebastian was the worst one among them.Sebastian was a person who wore a velvet glove over his iron fist. It was only after Giselle had come t

    What awaited her were strict and demanding expectations. Anytime she did not meet their expectations, they would either lock her up in the dark hut or throw her on the road that led to the dark hut.Everything became worse after Charlotte returned.

Linda had used every means to make her give it all up.There was just so much suffering to endure during that period. Now that she had made it, Sebastian was asking her not to rub salt in their wounds?Giselle was at a loss for words. By her standards, she was already being a saint by not stirring the pot. She could not be bothered to waste more time with Sebastian. When she walked past him, though, Sebastian suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist."Giselle—"Before he could say anything else, Giselle flipped him and threw him to the ground.With a bang, Sebastian laid straight on the ground.The pain

    In the past, Jean had reminded Jonathan more than once to keep his distance from Charlotte, but those words fell on deaf ears every single time. He never took her words seriously.It was too late for regrets now.Jonathan lowered his head. With a pair of sad eyes and a dejected voice, he mumbled, "I've said it before, Mom. I won't have anyone as my wife if it's not Giselle."His only wish was to marry Giselle. But everyone was telling him that he had cheated on her.Jonathan found it hard to believe that he would cheat on her. He was certain that there had to be some kind of misunderstanding.And the missing piece to this puzzle was none other than that woman named Charlotte. Jean, Francis, and Martha remained silent.

    It was merely a second ago when Giselle had told him to keep a distance from her, yet she was now in his car voluntarily.Jonathan did not move an inch. He still had his back against the inside of the car door as he faced Giselle, intently looking at her."Women are really fickle. Giselle must still have feelings for me. She's just too proud to admit it," he thought to himself.As for the rumors about her and Chester, they might just be putting on an act.Giselle did not know that Jonathan was in the process of gaslighting himself. When she noticed that he was not about to drive any time soon, she frowned and said, "If you're not going to drive, scram."Only then did Jonathan fix his position. He started the engine, and they headed for the hospital.At first, he was in a joyous mood. He tagged behind Giselle upon arrival at the hospital. It was not until he had reached a ward and saw who was seated on the hospital bed that his expression turned sullen.Giselle had gotten into

    "When did Giselle become so… violent?" Jonathan pondered.What had she gone through in the past eight years?For once, Jonathan was perplexed. In his memories, Giselle and him were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Since kindergarten, they were always in the same class.As they began spending more time with each other, the budding romantic feelings gradually snuck up on him.In his mind, Giselle had always been someone demure and considerate. When had she ever shown him this violent side of her?There was one incident that left a deep impression in Jonathan's mind. It was during their senior year.Giselle had been picked on by people from other schools. The moment he heard about this, he became so furious that he stormed over to the other school right away to fight them.If Giselle had always been such a violent person, why was she even picked on in the first place?Jonathan stared at Giselle with deep contemplation.Giselle stared back at him.

    When Penny was done speaking, she directed her gaze toward Lana. "I guess it's time for you to look in the mirror and see for yourself how much of a slut you are!"Lana's makeup had melted off completely. The more she wiped her face, the more her makeup smudged, making her look like a comical clown.Her bare face was already on the less fortunate side. Some people were just ugly both on the outside and on the inside.Lana was livid. She shoved Zayn's hands away and immediately reached out, wanting to grab Penny by the face. "You're just jealous because Zayn likes me. Yeah, you're better than me in every way, but what's the use of that? The woman Zayn loves is me, not you."You got it right. I like going after men who are already taken, and Zayn knows this as well. It's precisely because of this that he asked you out!"I'm sure you don't know anything about this, but every penny that you gave him, he would use it to buy me gifts. On Valentine's Day, you failed to go on a date wit

    Water was dripping from Giselle's face.Lana caught Giselle off guard, so the latter could not dodge in time.The fringe on Giselle's forehead was soaked. Strands of wet hair stuck to her porcelain white skin as water dripped down her face, falling onto the floor."I don't even know you, woman. What makes you think you have the right to slander me? Are you out of your mind?" Lana exclaimed in anger.Moira was sitting next to Giselle, so it was inevitable that some water got onto her.Without caring about herself, she quickly pulled a napkin out and wiped the water off Giselle's face. She felt a surge of anger in her heart.She was about to berate Lana when Giselle suddenly got up from her seat, filled the cup in front of her with water, and threw it at Lana's face.Lana screamed. With the racket she was making, the entire situation became chaotic.This particular moment happened to be captured by the local fans.The live stream chat box was in a frenzy, and the audience wished

    Zayn had come with a business partner today. It was because of Penny that he asked said business partner to give him an extra 30 minutes. He needed to get some stuff sorted out. Only then would he sign the contract.Who knew Penny would just sit there and not say a word after having him come all the way?Didn't she say that she was going to shop for a house today?Why wasn't she saying anything?Zayn cracked open the cup's lid and handed it over to Penny. "Penny, didn't you ask me to come check out a house with you? When I came earlier, I noticed the door to the adjacent building was still open. Why don't we go there now?"Just like that, the flurry of comments started up again."They really have it all thought out. Shopping for a house? Why? So that you and your lover can pick one out together?""This cheap leech of a bastard! Those who're going in person, can you all give him a good beating? I need to vent or I might die of cardiac arrest.""What a shameless jerk!"The cha

    These five minutes were unusually agonizing for the netizens who were waiting restlessly for the tea.At long last, footsteps could be heard approaching from behind. Penny clenched her fists tightly. She tried to calm her erratic heart that pounded against her chest.Her face was ashened."Penny, I'm here! Hey, why didn't you tell me you were bringing your friends along? I would've gotten two more cups of coffee."The bright cheerful voice of a man was approaching. Only when he had stepped in front of her did he realize that Penny had company. Next to her were two unfamiliar faces.One of them looked to be in her 30s. She exuded elegance and looked like someone of a prominent status.The other one looked like she was in her 20s and was really stunning.Amazement flashed across Zayn Carter's eyes before he quickly recomposed himself.While he was looking at Giselle and the others, they were also studying him.His eyebrows were well-defined, and he had broad shoulders and a sl

    Moira's smile was gentle. Her gaze toward Giselle was filled with kindness.Giselle nodded. "That seems to be the case."The fact that they bumped into each other for such a specific event had to be fate. Because how else could one explain such a coincidence?While they waited for the adulterers to arrive, Giselle updated her status beforehand."This afternoon's drama.

There was no reason for anyone to pass up on drama that was free of charge! Comments began pouring in. "Didn't even need to think twice to skip work. It's only $28 anyway.
