The night was deepening, and the parking lot was silent except for the sound of cicadas and the approaching footsteps of a man.

The sudden sound made Giselle tense. She clenched her fists and turned, only relaxing when she saw it was Chester.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" Chester apologized when he noticed the tension in her expression.

"It's fine." Giselle waved it off. She looked up and met his gaze. "Mr. Fordham, why are you in the hospital this late? Is your stomach bothering you again?"

Under the dim streetlight, she could clearly see Chester's pale face. His chiseled features made him look almost ethereal.

"No, I came to find Hector." Chester had already prepared a suitable reason for his visit while waiting.

Hector worked at the hospital, and they were good friends. This made him a perfect excuse.

Chester's true purpose had always been Giselle.

"Oh," came Giselle's simple response, and the atmosphere became subtly awkward.

Chester smiled faintly. Suppressing the glint in hi

    Giselle's and the Grant family's current situation was entirely Charlotte's own doing."I'm not sure. Did something happen between Gigi and him?" Charlotte pretended not to know, but her face twisted with jealousy.Jonathan responded absently, "Nothing…" He subconsciously lifted his gaze, and the rest of his words faded into silence.The rage in his eyes surged again, so crimson it made one instinctively feel a sense of fear.From his position, he could see most of Giselle's face. She was standing with a man who wasn't Hector, in a posture that looked intimate and affectionate."Jonathan? Is something wrong?"Charlotte's anxious voice snapped him back to reality.Jonathan didn't explain, instead offering a few vague responses before hanging up the phone. When he looked up again, there was no sign of Giselle and the man.…After Giselle picked up Emma, her heart was still racing. Her mind replayed the moment when Chester had gotten so close to her."Don't move. There's a bug i

    In the dimly lit stairwell, Giselle was held by Chester's burning hand around her waist. Their bodies were pressed together, and their breaths intertwined.On the wall, their shadows overlapped, creating an air of intimacy."Gigi, help me take off my glasses." Chester's hoarse, pleasant voice carried a hint of gentle coaxing. As he kissed her collarbone, his warm breath sent shivers down her spine.Giselle's long lashes fluttered lightly. Her fair arms draped over his broad shoulders, and a soft moan slipped from her lips.Her mind was in disarray. She did whatever Chester said.As she removed his glasses, the barrier between them was gone. Chester's kiss grew even more daring.Slowly, he moved upward, and Giselle surrendered to his tenderness.Suddenly, another person burst into the stairwell. "Giselle! You whore! How dare you seduce my uncle?" Jonathan's expression was like that of a husband catching his wife cheating on him.…Giselle immediately jolted awake. Her hai

    With the ten million dollars Giselle had managed to get from Jonathan, she now had a total of 16 million.She had initially planned to split the ten million with Emma, but the latter refused to take a cent.Emma's exact words were, "You keep it. Do I look like I need money? After divorcing Larry, we split the assets down the middle. If you'd known me sooner, Jonathan would've had it worse!"Giselle reluctantly accepted the money. She decided to donate half of the ten million, under both her and Emma's names, to poverty-stricken areas in the mountains. After all, one should do some good deeds.She cleaned the house while waiting for a response from the companies. She applied to nine different companies, but eight rejected her.The reason was always the same. "Our boss had someone read the company's fortune. We can't sign the contract with anyone named Stone."Giselle had expected this, but luckily, the first company she applied to passed her through smoothly. She could sign the co

    "Now it's time for us to take questions, which are done anonymously. I will help you resolve your problems in order." Giselle's voice was cool and aloof, and very recognizable. A slender, fair hand appeared on screen. The virtual gift the caller gave her was a carousel worth 188. There was the sound of the special effects associated with the gift, and the first speaker came on. It was a young lady.She sounded like she had been crying, and there was a tearful note in her voice as she said, "Can you help me out, Madam? I don't want to break up with my boyfriend. I can do anything for him." By the end of her sentence, she sounded as if she was about to break down. She was clearly madly in love with him.Giselle asked her to calm down and speak slowly.After taking a couple of minutes to calm down, the young lady said, "My boyfriend and I have been together for four years, and we met each other's parents last year. "We agreed on a wedding gift of 288 thousand, and his parents agr

    "I'm sorry, but I can't help you," Giselle said firmly.The best way to cure a terminal-stage hopeless romantic was to leave them with no way out. Even if they tried to persuade the young lady to break up with her boyfriend, she wouldn't be able to accept it at all.Hadn't Giselle once been exactly the same?…Chester finished watching the entire thing.Tony stood beside him and said, "Chet, I think it's going to be difficult for you to win Giselle over. She's too smart."It was hard to imagine how someone like Giselle could have wasted seven years on Jonathan. Anyone could see that he didn't care about her.However, Giselle herself had seemed completely blind to the fact, as if she had been bewitched.It was a testament to the fact that it was always easy to see things clearly when one was looking in from the outside."Do you like the dumb ones?" Chester was very blunt.Tony thought about how much of a clown he had been in the past and scratched his head awkwardly. "That's n

    It was close to midnight, and the pharmacy was fairly empty. It made the voice sound like a trumpet.Giselle ignored her and punched in the last digit of her PIN number for her bank card.She received a notification telling her that the transaction had gone through, and it annoyed the person speaking beside her. "Giselle, I'm asking you a question!"Vivian rushed up to push Giselle, who skilfully avoided her.Giselle's gaze swept over her, and she said scornfully, "I thought I heard a dog barking.""Giselle!" Vivian was hot-tempered, and the jibe had made her turn red with anger. She was wearing a tight, white spaghetti-strap top with a denim skirt that barely covered her thighs. It made her look rebellious and daring.There was a young woman beside her who looked like she was around the same age. They were dressed very similarly, but the other young woman had a huge scrape on her knee. It looked rather frightening.She followed Vivian's gaze and looked judgmentally at Giselle

    "I'm pregnant," Emma said.Silence descended into the room.Emma sat on the couch and said, "I feel like my entire life is a joke. I couldn't get pregnant for a year no matter how much I tried to, but now that I'm divorced, I've succeeded!"She had laughed out of sheer anger when she saw the result.Based on how things had been between them after she and Larry fell out, she had probably been pregnant for a while.She had thought that her nausea and lack of appetite had been the effects of gastroenteritis. Giselle poured her a glass of water. "Are you planning to keep it or abort it?"Emma was an opinionated person who was very modern in her thinking. Giselle felt that she was perfectly capable of keeping the child while getting rid of Larry.As she had expected, Emma said, "If I hadn't taken those drugs, I would keep the child. It's a pity that we're just not meant to be."Emma was a woman of action. After she had vented her feelings to Giselle, she booked an appointment for

    Giselle glanced at Emma's phone.The woman in the live stream had on elaborate makeup, and there was a huge screen behind her that had a few sentences on it."…love can conquer all difficulties. If you truly love your boyfriend, you should choose him without wavering," the woman was saying.With the support and management of Sharkwise, there were already more than one million people online in Charlotte's live stream.The effects of the virtual gifts being sent kept flashing across the stream. Giselle didn't feel much emotion, but she moved slightly when she heard the voice of the person speaking.Wasn't that the young lady who had been first on the line during her livestream yesterday? Why had she gone over to Charlotte's?"Ms. Grant, you're the one who truly understands me. You're so much better than that hideous woman I was on the line with yesterday, and I spent 188 dollars on her! Forget it. I'll just think of it as charity."Giselle was rendered speechless. She hadn't expec

    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

    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.
