Chapter 69

Author: DuckDuckJoe
"Chester is a good judge of character. If it doesn't work out, I can have him look into a few solutions…"

Giselle felt a bit embarrassed.

Chester, however, quickly caught on to what Richard was suggesting. Richard wanted him to introduce someone to Giselle.

Chester walked over without showing any emotion and casually took Richard's book out of his hands. "Uncle Richard, it's getting late. You should get some rest," he said.

Richard chuckled. "Chester, surely you know some single young men? Pick someone with good character and introduce him to Gigi."

Giselle quickly interjected, "Grandpa, really, there's no need. I'm not looking for a relationship right now…"

"No introductions," Chester said, and Giselle's words trailed off with that firm response.

He didn't even bother with being polite and had rejected the idea outright. Even Richard was surprised by his decisiveness.

Richard didn't ask any further questions and simply watched as Giselle and Chester left.

    It was supposedly to protect Giselle's reputation.Charlotte couldn't believe that someone as graceful and impeccable as Chester could fall for someone so far beneath him. Giselle was just a nobody!Charlotte clenched her teeth, her beautiful features contorting with frustration. "That's impossible! Giselle is nothing but a seductress! She couldn't marry my brother, so now she's targeting my uncle! How disgusting can she be?" Vivian cursed angrily for a long time. She only stopped when her throat became dry.She suddenly remembered something. "Charlotte, I forgot to tell you something. Giselle is pregnant with my brother's child!"The news hit like a bombshell, and Charlotte nearly dropped her phone. She fought to steady her trembling hands. "Giselle is pregnant with Jonathan's child? No, that can't be true!"Vivian thought that Charlotte was sad, judging from her reaction. She could tell that Charlotte had feelings for Jonathan, but because of Giselle, Charlotte had been forced

    Giselle only answered the call after waiting for a short while more. "Mr. Fordham, why'd you call so late at night?" she asked.After hearing her cold voice come through the receiver, Chester felt his racing heart calm down. He swallowed hard, and his Adam's apple bobbed. His voice sounded deep and magnetic as he asked, "Are you still mad?"His words left Giselle feeling stunned. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes, and her hand that held the phone slowly clenched, and veins appeared underneath her skin.Did Chester purposely come to explain things to her because he knew she was mad about what he said?Giselle replied slowly, "I'm not mad."Anyway, she and Chester could only be considered friends at the most. Plus, she knew she was quite sensitive as a person. Chester didn't need to apologize to her deliberately.Even when she was with Jonathan, her sensitive behavior was never fully reassured.Chester's behavior caused Giselle to feel an unfamiliar emotion, one that she h

    Additionally, Charlotte was about to marry Jonathan. If she was shown to have a poor reputation, wouldn't she get showered with endless criticism?"Ah… If it weren't for someone having Charlotte's back, she would've gotten thoroughly chewed out this time," Emma said, sneering disdainfully over the phone.Giselle brushed it off and said, "She still has many opportunities to get beaten and scolded."Charlotte could have lived a prosperous and fulfilling life for the rest of her life, but she wasn't satisfied and insisted on stirring up trouble. As long as it belonged to Giselle, Charlotte would try her best and stop at nothing to snatch it away from her.Such clown-like behavior wasn't worth Giselle wasting her time on. After chatting for a while more, Giselle received a message from the property agent. They said that the condominium she previously commissioned off for sale had already been bid on by a buyer for the price of four million dollars.Giselle felt quite satisfied with

    "What did you say? Not selling it anymore? Giselle, don't you lack money? What are you pretending for?" Jasmine jeered. When she heard that Giselle wasn't selling the condominium anymore, she immediately lost her composure."Who said I lacked money?" Giselle retorted.She managed to extort several million dollars from Jonathan, and with her income she earned from livestreaming, she could indulge in any luxury she wanted.Giselle continued to taunt Jasmine. "You're a wealthy heiress. Why do you insist on buying a second-hand condominium? Did your family go bankrupt?" "You're the one that's bankrupt! Giselle, you just can't stand to see others doing better than you! It's no wonder Jonathan doesn't want you anymore!" Jasmine snapped.Jasmine was hot-tempered, and coupled with her opinion of Giselle, she easily exploded at the slightest provocation.Giselle remained calm. Compared to her, Jasmine looked like a loud-mouthed commoner from the streets.This scene was beyond the proper

    This conclusion surprised Giselle greatly. She left after saying goodbye to the property agent.Just then, the property agent lowered his head to respond to a message and suddenly exclaimed, "Why is Mr. Fordham from next door also selling his condo?"…Giselle got ready to head home. Just when she reached downstairs, Emma suddenly called. In a very anxious tone, she asked, "Gigi, are you free now? Can you come to the hospital?"Giselle quickly drove to the hospital.Emma lay weakly on the hospital bed. There was no trace of blood on her face, making her very pale.She was fine when they called in the morning, but then she suddenly started bleeding heavily when she went to the bathroom. As it was her first time encountering this situation, Emma had panicked. The first person she thought of was Giselle."The doctor said it isn't a big deal. It's just an infection," Giselle comforted Emma. She was used to seeing Emma acting decisively and swiftly, so it was surprising to see her

    Linda stared angrily at Giselle, believing that she still hadn't given up on Jonathan. "Giselle, listen here. You're not even qualified to marry into the Lawson family. Do me a favor and quickly get lost! Don't even think about bothering Lottie and Jonathan!"As she spoke, she approached Giselle and grabbed her hand.Since Sebastian was by her side today, she was full of confidence. She was determined to humiliate Giselle the same way she did to her last time.A group of passersby started to gather around them, curious about the drama that was unfolding.Giselle coldly watched as Linda got closer and closer to her. Seeing her contorted expression made Giselle's stomach churn.When Linda reached out to her, Giselle threw what she was holding out. The hot oatmeal spilled from the plastic container. Linda screamed as it burned her hands, and red welts started appearing.Sebastian immediately stepped forward and held onto Linda's shoulder. His handsome face stared darkly at Giselle.

    Was it meaningful to have that kind of relationship? However, one thing that had to be said was that it was quite nice to have someone like Giselle as a wife. Even when her husband was indulging himself outside, she didn't dare to say anything against it.Jonathan didn't answer Larry and simply watched the video again.Larry couldn't help but ask again, " Jon, you don't think Giselle will go look for your grandfather, right?""I don't know."His answer stopped Larry from asking any more questions. He rubbed his nose and said, "Come on. I'm not asking too many questions. "Anyway, be careful of Giselle. She's a complete lunatic! She can't stand seeing others do better than her. She must have instigated the divorce between Emma and me."Just the mention of this got Larry all fired up. Which man was truly innocent when it came to messing around? He didn't do anything out of line, yet in the end, he got beaten up, and his wife ran off.Larry gritted his teeth in seething anger.Jon

    Emma magnified a photo of Charlotte's face. She was covered in tears and snot, and both her cheeks were severely bruised and beaten. This situation couldn't be simply described as disgraceful."I really enjoyed watching this today. Charlotte was just born to get beaten up. She deserves it for leading young women astray!" Emma exclaimed.She suddenly felt as though the heavy feeling on her chest had lightened, and her frail body seemed to have gotten some relief.She turned the photo of Charlotte's face into a sticker and said, "Gigi, if Charlotte harasses you again in the future, just send this sticker to her!"Giselle silently saved it. After arriving at the hospital lobby, she asked Emma, "What's Yvonne's mom's background?"Considering that Charlotte was the precious daughter of the Grant family, it would make no sense if the other party had no prominent background and yet still beat Charlotte to that extent. Giselle certainly didn't believe that.Emma lay back in bed and said,

"Do I have to add her on WhatsApp?"Giselle shook her head. "Nope, I'll handle this. You can pack up and get off work now."After Yvette had left, Giselle ate some food before she added the lady to her WhatsApp contacts.Meanwhile, at the Stone residence, Moira was having a conversation with her niece."How's everything, Penny? Has the livestreamer agreed to go with you?The huge living room was brightly illuminated.The theme of the interior design was simple luxury, and the paintings on the walls were extremely tasteful.Moira sat on the couch as she held Penny Stone's hand.

    At first, Yvette had not yet familiarized herself with the work and made a few minor mistakes.After Giselle pointed them out and corrected her, she no longer made the same mistakes. All in all, she was a sharp one.Giselle ended Yvette's probation early and hired her as a full-time employee.Today, while it drizzled outside, Yvette sat at her desk as she cleared Giselle's inbox and uploaded new posts. Meanwhile, Giselle sat in one corner and did her livestream.The number of viewers on the top-right corner of the screen was consistent. Overall, it stabilized at more or less a hundred thousand. "I had a fight with my significant other last night. He called me a drama queen who's hard to please. But I've always been clear about what I want. And when I do, he would say I'm making a mountain out of a molehill and wants me to not be so 'dramatic.'"The comment section went berserk."He's already said such hurtful things to you.

I wasn't asking for your input."Charlotte clenched her hands into fists. The wound that had finally healed tore open once more.The pain made her face turn pale, while the fear caused her entire body to tremble.The caretaker continued, "Ms. Grant, there's no need to be afraid just yet. I forgot to tell you one thing. Mr. Lawson—your dearest Jonathan—has lost part of his memories. He no longer remembers you."Hearing this, Charlotte froze for a moment.

    Caroline said, "I will tell Jean about this. You haven't done anything wrong." She had also heard of Jonathan and Giselle's history.As a woman herself, she could empathize with Giselle the most.She, too, had her partner commit adultery but had instead become the one who was labeled the adulterer. Just the thought of it was aggravating!Caroline said, "If you ever find yourself having to fight him again, just remember to stop before he becomes a cripple."Chester answered, "Okay."Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Jonathan was lying in the hospital, drowning in a haunting nightmare. Vivian stood to the side, mumbling something to Jean. Eventually, Jean interrupted her and said, "That's enough. I'll be here. Go home now. You have school tomorrow."Jean was exhausted. Tons of things had been going on at the research institute recently, and Jonathan had only added more to her plate. Couldn't he just let her catch a break?Jean rubbed her temples. She took her phone out and

    Meanwhile, Giselle had just found the first-aid kit and sat next to Chester.The light in the living room was a warm orange, softening the hardened knots between Chester's forehead. He removed his jacket, leaving only a thin shirt on. "This might hurt, so bear with me."Jonathan really did not hold back one bit. Chester's skin was already fair. The contrast only made the purplish bruise even more striking and distressing.Giselle and Chester were growing nearer to each other.They were in such close proximity that he could take in the fragrance of her shampoo.Her attention was on the corner of his lips. She had cotton dipped in iodine to clean the dried blood on the area of the wound.Chester's breathing suddenly came to a halt.His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. His breath was warm, and his gaze was deep.After a while, Giselle retreated to her original position. As she kept the first-aid kit away, she said, "It's done. When you get home, try not to let water come in con

    In Giselle's cold eyes, there was nothing but indifference and annoyance."Gigi, I'm in pain…"Jonathan stared at her, the emotions in his eyes flickering back and forth. His weak and vulnerable tone was completely different from the violence he portrayed earlier.He was now trying to use pity to get Giselle to sympathize with him.Jonathan thought that if Giselle still loved him, then he would let everything go.Unfortunately, reality was more cruel than he imagined. Giselle's expression did not even waver.In an instant, the asphyxiating heartache turned into a wild beast, ruthlessly tearing him apart.Jonathan's arm fell to his side helplessly. Suddenly, he staggered backward as if his soul had left him, no longer behaving as arrogantly as he had before.He should be fuming. And Giselle should also be taught a lesson.But Jonathan could not do it.He loved Giselle so much, so why was she doing this to him?"Jon? Jon, what's wrong…"Vivian looked at Jonathan, who was obvi

    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
