The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 7
Jonathan had a bad feeling when he heard that. The number of people in Seaworth City whose last names were Fordham could be counted on one finger. And the only one who could command that much respect… was Chester.The interrogation room's door swung open again. Sure enough, Chester entered the room. He wore a white shirt with buttons all done up and a gray waistcoat on top. His black pants made his legs look particularly long.His features were chiseled, and his hair was neat. The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were sharp and cold. He was the epitome of nobility."Mr. Fordham." The police officer who'd earlier been addressed as "Captain Lane" stepped forward.Chester greeted, "Hi, Mr. Lane."Then, he handed Jim Lane a bag. "Fred asked me to bring this to you."Fred Lane was one of Chester's most capable subordinates. He was a genius scientist who was only 30 this year.Jim accepted the bag and thanked Chester with a big smile. "I don't have to worry about Freddie when I kno

Chester was so thoughtful that it left Giselle feeling lost. She changed into the new clothes—a loose, short-sleeved T-shirt and light-colored pants. The designs were simple, which matched her style.She drew the curtain and said, "I'll transfer the money for this to you, Mr. Fordham."In truth, she hadn't accepted many jobs over the years. She'd been under too much pressure because of her desire to marry Jonathan.The Grant family wanted nothing more than for her to end things with Jonathan so Charlotte could be with him. As for the Lawson family… there were people there who didn't like her, either.No matter what she did, she felt like someone secretly controlled her life in the shadows. They were making her run into dead ends everywhere.Chester pulled out his phone. Then, he said, "You should save my number again."Giselle stiffened. Upon learning he was Jonathan's uncle, she'd immediately blocked and deleted his number. She thought he'd have no idea, but he'd been aware of i

Chester had an idea of what had happened after checking the surveillance footage at the management office—someone had thrown rotten eggs and trash outside Giselle's condominium. His gaze turned cold, but she was calm.The staff at the management office suggested Giselle make a police report. "Do you need us to call the police for you, Ms. Stone? The perpetrator's face is clearly captured, so it'll be easy to catch him…"She turned him down and clenched her fists. "I know who did it."Usually, people covered their faces or disguised themselves when doing bad things, but this guy had even challenged them through the camera. It was apparent that he wasn't afraid of getting caught because he had someone backing him up.Chester asked, "Do you need my help?""No." Underneath Giselle's calm facade was a furious heart. Did they really think she was a pushover? They were wrong, then!…It was already 11:00 pm, but Giselle barged into the Grant residence all the same. The maids couldn't s

Giselle didn't even bat an eye. "I'm not interested."It was quite nice to be alone in the world. She didn't need to worry about the consequences of her actions and could do whatever she wanted.Linda was dead wrong if she thought she could threaten Giselle with that. The former was rendered speechless by Giselle not acting the way she'd expected.Giselle looked around the living room, satisfied when she saw the mess she'd created. Then, she pulled out her phone and showed the QR code for her Venmo account. "Pay me the cleaning fees."She would need to hire someone to clean up the mess outside her condominium, and whoever caused it would have to pay for it.Harold's expression turned hideous. "What are you talking about? We might be rich, but we're not idiots!"The way he saw it, Giselle was being nonsensical. She'd gone insane after descending into poverty!Charlotte felt diffident. She'd secretly hired the guy to make the mess outside Giselle's condominium; Harold and Linda di

"Who do you want to pursue, Mr. Fordham?" Giselle met Chester's eyes and looked surprised. She couldn't read him from behind his glasses. Still, she was genuinely curious. Which woman could make someone like Chester pursue her?"Do you really want to know?" he asked in return.For some reason, this made Giselle's heart skip a beat. She hastily averted her gaze and looked down at her glass. "Pretend I didn't ask if you don't want to answer."Chester didn't take things too far. He retracted his gaze and said, "You'll find out soon enough."Then, he switched the subject. They chatted for a while more before he told her to rest.The rain grew heavier. Giselle got into bed after washing up. Now that she was relaxed, she was overwhelmed with exhaustion. She checked her phone to see a few unread messages from Emma."I'm sorry for dragging you into today's mess, Ms. Stone. I've cleared my outstanding bill with you—consider the extra compensation for your distress. Thanks for showing me h

Jonathan scrutinized Chester's face as he spoke. His gaze was sharp and probing.He couldn't reach Giselle, and neither could the Grants. That was why he'd decided to try his luck with Chester. Giselle had left with him yesterday, after all.This had grated on Jonathan's nerves. He couldn't understand it—didn't Giselle know that she needed to maintain boundaries? Even if they were already broken up, wasn't she slapping him in the face by spending time with Chester? She knew he didn't like his uncle.Chester clearly sensed Jonathan's hostility, but it didn't bother him. He leaned back leisurely, his gaze calm as he faced the latter. "Do I need to report to you on who I spend time with and who I'm close to?"Jonathan was no match for him, whether in terms of status or capabilities. The former clenched his fists, the veins in his forehead throbbing as he suppressed his anger. "She's my fiancée, Uncle Chester.""You two have already broken up," Chester said calmly.Jonathan felt like

Jonathan's eyes glinted when he saw the caller ID. Then, he stood up. "If you can reach Giselle, tell her that running away isn't going to resolve anything."Larry was the second son of the Barton family. Now that he'd ended up in the hospital, there was no way the Barton family would let the matter slide so easily. That was why Jonathan was looking for Giselle. He could help her resolve this issue as long as she gave in and backed down.Giselle only came out of the room when she heard Jonathan leave. Chester's expression was still cold. "Did you hear everything?""Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop," she said, looking at him. "If Jonathan asks you about me again, you can just tell him we don't know each other well."He narrowed his eyes, a little displeased to hear that. It was hard to tell how he felt as he said, "I don't like lying, though."Giselle was taken aback by his words. However, Chester had no plans to reveal his true intentions so soon. He wanted to take things slow. H

Emma brought Giselle to the top bar in Seaworth City. She was evidently a regular there.As soon as they entered the private room, they were greeted by dozens of young men with different personalities and styles. It went without saying that they all looked good.Giselle said nothing, but Emma generously told her to pick first. "We're in the same boat, Ms. Stone. There's plenty of fish in the sea, so don't obsess over that one dumb fish. Pick whichever guy you like—everything is on me tonight."With her words, the men started showing what they were capable of. Giselle was at a loss for words. After a while, she held a hand to her forehead and said, "I'm not picking a gigolo, Ms. Jones.""Come on now. They're just here to drink with you and alleviate your boredom," Emma said.Giselle was insistent on her rejection, so Emma gave up. The private room was a lot more spacious after Emma dismissed the men.Giselle started pouring the drinks. She downed hers, which surprised Emma. "I wou

The expression on Finley's face stiffened, and her pupils dilated immediately. Finley didn't expect to hear the name she hated the most from Caroline's mouth. After suffering multiple losses because of Giselle, Finley would react to her name by instinctively feeling disgusted.Finley suddenly looked pale and terrible, causing Caroline to gently ask, "What's wrong, Finley? Do you feel unwell?"Finley clenched her fists tightly and forced herself to take a deep breath. Then, she put on a fake relaxed smile and managed to look elegant. "I'm fine, Mrs. Fordham. I do have a friend who's quite close with Giselle."The unexpected answer made Caroline exchange glances with Zachary. "Oh?""But… I don't think that's true anymore. After all, they had a little conflict between them. If I talk about it, we might get too emotional."Finley was being smart about it, as she couldn't badmouth Giselle directly. If she wanted to do it, she would have to find a scapegoat. That way, if her plan failed
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 227
Giselle followed Hector outside the ward, and the nurse sensibly left them alone to check on the other patients.Hector then said, "Giselle, I have some relationship-related issues that I need to ask you about."It had been a month or two since they last talked about it, and it seemed to Giselle that his relationship with Julia had gotten worse. Julia had used up all of her leave days at the hospital, and her IP address showed that she was overseas.Hector felt frustrated because of it. If it weren't for Chester's accident, Hector wouldn't have returned to work so soon. Upon returning, he had to personally deal with all the work that had been piling up. Once he started getting busy, he couldn't even have a proper meal, let alone coax Julia.After hearing about his predicament, Giselle tried to find a suspicious loophole."When did you last see her?""It was around two weeks ago. I was drunk back then, and my friend called her for me so that she could pick me up."Hector tried hi

The next morning, Giselle headed to the hospital after she was done washing up. The scabs from her injuries were starting to fall off, and the stitches were breaking apart too. She was well on her way to a full recovery.As for Chester, most of his injuries were superficial. The worst injury he had was around his stomach. When the car flipped, a sharp object pierced into his flesh. Fortunately, it didn't injure any of his vital organs. If it had gone a little deeper, he wouldn't have survived.When Giselle arrived at the hospital, Jean was talking to Chester about Joshua. The police had interrogated Joshua the whole night, but he didn't reveal anything of importance. Instead, he kept insisting that he didn't know the driver and that he didn't hire anyone to attempt homicide.Chester had already expected Joshua to be this shameless. He leaned back against the hospital bed with a cold look on his pale face. Then, he lowered his gaze to cover the frustration in his eyes."He's not goi

From what Jonathan could remember, Giselle and Chester never interacted with each other in the past. Since the Grants and Lawsons had a marriage arrangement, Jonathan grew up with Giselle. He knew everyone she had met and befriended with.Chester had been doing his research overseas for the past few years, and he seldom came back to the country. Even when he did come back, he would leave as soon as he returned. So, there was no way for Giselle to interact with him at all.Suddenly, Jonathan realized he had forgotten something important. When they were in university, Giselle went abroad as an exchange student. If he remembered correctly, she seemed to have gone to the country where Chester was situated."Before I left, I entered Chester's office once, and he had a photo of a woman on his desk. When I returned to the country, I realized that woman was your ex-fiancée, Giselle."No one in their right mind would have a photo of their nephew's fiancée on their desk, so Chester clearly h
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 224
Right after Joshua said that, the whole room fell silent. Everyone was shocked to hear that Chester had always liked his own nephew's fiancée, and they wondered if that was how wealthy people had fun.They wanted to gossip, and they secretly paid more attention to the conversation without showing it on their faces.Jonathan narrowed his eyes in hostility, and Joshua was satisfied by everyone's reaction. Joshua happily leaned back in his chair and looked so smug that anyone would want to beat him up."Mr. Lawson, you know how I used to work at your uncle's laboratory, right? I was even an important employee there, so I know a lot of things that you don't."Of course, Jonathan knew that. When he first started talking business with Joshua, Jonathan had someone look into his background. All the information he could gather easily was what Joshua wanted him to see. To get more information about Joshua, Jonathan had to spend more effort on it.At first, he didn't know what was going on b

Looking at the call time of an hour, Chester smiled a little, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow over his eyes. He habitually took a screenshot and hid the name before uploading the picture online with the caption, "Good night."His last post on social media was less than a month ago. It might be a long time for most people, but this was Chester. He never uploaded a single post in the past, and he only started doing it a lot after meeting Giselle.The first comment came from Sam. Sam: "Were you in a video call with Giselle? Have you guys made that much progress? As expected from you, Mr. Fordham!"Hector: "It looks like someone is going to be heartbroken."Harry: "I was wondering why Giselle's line was busy when I tried calling her. So, she was on a video call with you, huh? Let's plan this out. Next time, call her when I'm done playing video games with her. I need to rank up before the season ends!"Chester didn't reply to any of the comments except for Harry's. "Scram."…
The Sweetest Revenge Chapter 222
Giselle was left speechless, thinking how Chester's aloof image was completely destroyed now that his memories were in disarray. Although he was only calling her dear by text, she could practically hear it. Suddenly, she felt uneasy and didn't know how to reply to him.Just as she was hesitating, Chester's video-call came in. She answered it after switching to her phone's back camera. The footage on her phone shook a little before she saw Chester's pale dashing face appear on the screen.After her experience with him last time, she was now calmer. It was as if she had grown immune to his appearance."Hey, dear." His attractive voice came through the speaker and echoed in the huge living room. It was windy outside, and the sound of waves crashing could be heard. Neon lights shone brightly from the cityscape. Giselle ignored the weird feeling in her heart and calmly answered with a hum.Chester couldn't help looking happy when he received a response from Giselle. Since he didn't have

Giselle shifted to a more comfortable position. Since she was bored, she scrolled through Charlotte's profile on the live streaming platform and watched the latter's live stream.Charlotte had exquisite makeup on, and she had luxurious-looking bookshelves behind her, making her look extremely classy. Seeing how great she was doing at that moment made Giselle think that someone was behind Charlotte's success.Giselle didn't think Charlotte was smart enough to upgrade her setup so suddenly. After all, from what Giselle could remember, Charlotte was a stingy person. It might have to do with Charlotte's upbringing, but she was really calculative when it came to spending money.Thus, even after she returned to her actual family, she still couldn't get rid of that habit. When Giselle was kicked out of the Grant family back then, Charlotte came up with the idea to make Giselle pay them for taking care of her.Charlotte didn't make it too obvious and beat around the bush. However, she dema

Silence ensued on the call as Emma's question stumped Giselle. Was Chester faking his amnesia? Giselle figured he had no reason to do that.When Giselle didn't say anything, Emma became anxious. "Hey, Gigi! Are you listening?""Yeah." Giselle returned to her senses, but her mind was in a mess. So, she couldn't answer Emma's question for the time being. In order to stop Emma from talking about it, Giselle changed the subject."Is Linda still visiting your company recently?"The Grants were in a mess at that moment as Harold's affair had already proven to be true. As for having an illegitimate son, the Grant family wasn't sure about it just yet. They had no evidence, and there was no way Harold would admit it that easily.In the eyes of the law, if Linda wanted to get a divorce, Harold would be the one at fault. Thus, he would be on the losing side when splitting their assets. He had worked hard on his company for more than half of his life, so he would never give half of their asse
