Chapter 43

Author: DuckDuckJoe
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

    Emma was connected to an IV drip. She looked frail, and there was a bitter smile on her lips."Gigi, I had a dream last night. In my dream, a little girl was crying as she told me not to give up on her and that she would behave well."Emma choked up, which was unlike her. Her eyes turned red, and she continued, "But I still chose to give her up. Gigi, do you think that I was too ruthless?"Before lying down on that operating table, Emma had acted as if she was fine.However, while she was lying there, everything that she tried to avoid thinking about had popped up in her mind. The physical pain she felt had intensified her feelings of grief. It was only now that Emma belatedly realized that she had once been a child's mother, albeit very briefly. Giselle held Emma's hand tightly to comfort her. She said gently, "You made the right choice. She'll understand why you did it."Apart from whether or not the fetus would be healthy, Emma would probably end up entangled further with L

    Noticing the confused look on Giselle's face, Julia added, "Do you remember the night you spent at Mr. Fordham's?"How could Giselle forget? That had been the night she bit Chester. The embarrassing scene flashed across her mind, and she tried her best to remain calm. "Were you there that day too?"There were gaps in her memory of that day. When she had woken up the next day, the only person she had seen was Chester.If Julia and Chester had a special relationship, then the reason they were having this conversation would be clear."Don't misunderstand, Ms. Stone. I went over there with my mentor. You had been drugged, and I'm a woman, so it made things easier," Julia explained quickly; she could tell that Giselle's mind was straying.Giselle belatedly realized what she meant and asked suddenly, "You were the one who changed my clothes?"Julia nodded. "What's the matter?"Giselle remained silent. She couldn't exactly say that she had assumed that Chester had changed her clothes

    After listening to what Julia had said, Giselle was no longer sure. She needed ample time to digest this complicated information.The moment she got home, Hector called. "Ms. Stone, do you have time tonight? I'd like to tell you something face-to-face."Giselle paused for a moment before saying, "Send me the time and address."Great. Now, another problem had appeared.Should she tell Hector that he was a replacement for someone else? If so, there was no reason that he had to continue trying to appease Julia.It would be better for them to part amicably. After all, they hadn't made things official. …Hector had reserved a five-star restaurant in Seaworth City for 7:00 pm, and he asked if Chester would like to come along. Chester was standing by the window, looking tall and lean. He ended his call and looked up lazily at Hector. "If I go with you, it will look too obvious."Hector raised an eyebrow. "How is it obvious? It's very reasonable for two good friends to have dinner t

    Giselle was silent.No wonder Hector and Julia had found each other. Both of them were treating the other as a replacement, even though they had no idea that they themselves were also a replacement.Giselle, who knew the truth, decided to remain silent.Hector continued, "She has a very similar personality to my first love. However, after spending time with her, I realized that I seem to have fallen for her."He wanted to resolve the weight on his heart, so he had to be honest with Giselle. Hector had felt embarrassed at first, but now he had come to terms with it.During all the nights that he had been unable to fall asleep, he had thought through all the possibilities, and the only thing he couldn't accept was being separated from Julia. They had an ambiguous relationship, but he was the one who stood to lose. "If your first love came back right now, would you still choose your current partner?" Giselle fixed her gaze on Hector's face.She wouldn't miss a single change in

    Giselle said nothing and allowed Chester to keep holding her around the waist.Chester's lips curved upward at her compliance, and the last vestige of his annoyance vanished."That's impossible! Chester, you're lying to me, aren't you? You can't have a girlfriend!" the drunk woman suddenly began screaming. She broke down completely and lunged toward Giselle. Her teeth bared in a grimace as she reached out to claw at her.Chester's eyes narrowed, and he pulled Giselle aside to dodge the attack. There was a flash of revulsion in his eyes.He shielded Giselle, and his authoritative air made the other woman sober up almost instantly.Jasmine Sinclair's hand froze in midair, and she turned as pale as a sheet as terror washed over her momentarily.What had she done?She had tried to hit Chester's girlfriend right in front of him!No, that wasn't right! She had paid money to find out, and there had been no mention of Chester having a girlfriend!"Chester, you're lying to me, aren't

    Chester stood tall, a suit jacket draped over his arm. His hair fell slightly tousled across his forehead from the wind. His well-defined eyebrows framed his eyes, which made him look relaxed and easygoing.Hector struggled to maintain a serious expression, desperately trying to hide his laughter. It was clear that he had tipped Chester off about his meeting with Giselle. Coincidence didn't exist in this scenario. It was amusing how Chester tried to play it off. Nothing was simply destined to occur. In reality, it was all part of his plan.Giselle replied calmly, "What a coincidence."The exchange between the two resembled a human-machine interaction. Hector found it fascinating and wished to observe it a bit longer, but a sharp glance from Chester silenced him immediately.Hector cleared his throat and said, "I left something in the private room. I'll get it. You two chat first."After that, he left.Once he departed, Giselle felt a wave of awkwardness wash over her and contem

    Giselle only went home after it turned dark outside.Penny had transferred some money to Giselle and thanked her once again for today.Penny texted, "I'm not sad at all anymore. If you hadn't gone with me today, I think I would've already died from frustration." As for the aftermath of the storm, Eugene took care of everything. Every single penny that she had spent on Zayn would be retrieved through legal means.Giselle replied, "You're welcome."Only after that did she have the time to check out the link Yvette had sent to her.It was about the incident from earlier today.

It had been edited to look like he was the hero coming to his damsel's rescue.With the accompaniment of some background

    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. Jonathan was hopelessly in love with Giselle.

    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.
