"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,
"Charlotte urged Yvonne to elope and run away with someone. She almost made a mistake. Mrs. Sullivan was just teaching her a small lesson, yet you're threatening her? How interesting," Giselle mocked.Sebastian clenched his fists tightly after hearing what Giselle said. His expression was tense and sullen.Giselle acted as if she hadn't seen him and continued speaking despite the pressure emanating from him. "You can sue them this time, but what about the next time? Given that Charlotte's values are twisted beyond belief, there's sure to be endless trouble in the future."Oh, and let's not forget. She even encourages young women to have children out of wedlock."She guessed that her blind assumption would probably become the truth in the future based on Charlotte's current actions during this period.Charlotte would either get beaten up or scolded along the streets. She was practically born to be a punching bag.Giselle sighed internally and gave Charlotte a few slaps in her mind
The light on Chester's side looked a bit dim. The faint white light reflected from the phone screen added a hint of coldness to his handsome, delicate features. His gaze behind his glasses was hard to decipher.He stood up and walked to the side. The screen shook as he moved, and it was unclear whether it was intentional or not, but the camera swept over a certain spot of his.Giselle was stunned for a while. Then, she reacted in a panic and shifted her gaze. Her ears turned red as if she was about to explode with embarrassment."Ms. Stone, what happened to you?"Chester's handsome face reappeared on the phone screen, accompanied by his clear and deep voice. He took off his glasses and, with the camera being so close to his face, clearly revealed his long and thick eyelashes.Giselle's heart started to beat loudly and uncontrollably. She quickly switched to her rear camera and coughed a few times to cover up her inexplicable panic."It's nothing. Just feeling a bit hot," she repl
Lily didn't answer Giselle's question. The two of them remained silent until Lily finally trembled and stood up. Her voice sounded hoarser than before.She hung her head low, and her hair fell on both sides of her face, covering her disheveled look. "Ms. Stone, I'm begging you. Please help me. I can't lose Yves…"Yvonne was the only piece of hope in her life. She didn't dare even recall the scene of discovering Yvonne in the bathtub. The entire tub of water was dyed red with blood, making it look extremely jarring."Mrs. Sullivan, the only person who can save her is you," Giselle said.Lily found herself caught in a dilemma. After a while, she finally relented. "What should I do?"Giselle and Lily exchanged contact information.Lily wasn't in a suitable state for a discussion, with her emotions running high. Giselle asked to get some rest for tonight. She figured Yvonne probably wouldn't want to see her looking so disheveled.Upon Lily's return to Yvonne's hospital room, she was
Harry: "How'd you know that? Lyla will be using the guest room for the time being as her room's not quite ready yet."The paternity test results for Lyla and the Stones were already out. Logically speaking, Harry should be busy catching up on all the lost time with Lyla. However, for some reason, he just could not bring himself to do that.What's more, Harry would feel uncomfortable anytime he was with Lyla.Being the carefree person he was, Harry had never given much thought to these details. Ultimately, it all came down to the fact that they had hardly spent time together. As such, it was only natural for them to feel distant from each other.But Harry had forgotten something.He'd felt a strong sense of familiarity upon his first meeting with Giselle.Harry: "It's quite late now, so why aren't you asleep yet? Are you thinking about what happened with the Lawsons today?"The matter regarding Jonathan might not have been spread online, but those who went to the charity banq
Giselle had just come out of the bathroom when she received this text message.Her long black hair was wet, hanging behind her back as water droplets fell to the ground.The white bathrobe was loosely wrapped around her body, revealing her delicate, fair skin. Her skin was as white as snow, so much so that it was almost dazzling.Chester was asking her how she was planning to deal with Charlotte.Since laws had to be abided by, getting her killed was out of the question.Besides, Giselle did not think death was the best punishment.The most painful form of torture would be to reduce someone to a point where they begged to be killed.Charlotte had the privilege of enjoying a life of luxury and wealth for over two decades as the fake heiress of the Grant family.People often said that going from rags to riches was easy, but going from riches to rags was hard.There was no way the Grants would be able to make a comeback. Presently, they were inundated by a mountain of debt. If no
The feeling of wanting to escape but not being able to was agonizing.After a while, Angela mustered the courage and said in a trembling voice, "We live in a c-civil society. I could sue you. My husband's from the Lawson family. You can't afford to cross—""Your husband?" Jean could not help but interrupt when she heard those two words.The piercing cold glare in her sharp eyes was comparable to Chester's.There was no doubt that they were siblings."Angela, the divorce certificate hasn't been issued, which means he isn't your husband yet."Knowing Jean's personality, there was absolutely no chance she would get back together with Perry.But that did not stop her from feeling annoyed by Angela.Angela's face instantly turned pale. She bit the bullet and said, "Perry no longer loves you. There's no future for you two, even if you don't get a divorce.""If I don't get the divorce, you'll never be able to be his official wife."Jean hit where it hurt.She had always been strong
Everyone in the room tensed up upon the sudden mention of Giselle's name.Harry did not think much of it. "Giselle's super nice! The first time we met, she saved my life. If it wasn't for her, none of you would be able to see me today!"He might have exaggerated the story a little. Still, it was evident that Harry liked Giselle a lot.Eugene and Moira knew Harry well. He was a good judge of character. Anyone he claimed to be a good person would turn out to be as such.What's more, seeing Giselle for the first time gave them a sense of familiarity that could not be put into words.Those eyebrows were impeccably refined.It was certainly genetics at work.If not for Lyla and the paternity test report, they might have truly believed that Giselle was their actual child without hesitation.With her hands hidden behind her back, Holly secretly clenched her fists. For a moment, darkness flashed through that gentle expression of hers.It was not until she heard Jackie's voice next to
Charlotte even tried to act pitiful to gain Jonathan's sympathy.It was just too bad that Jonathan had already seen her for who she truly was.With the aphrodisiac taking over his entire body, Jonathan bit Charlotte's lips like an irrational beast.Charlotte kept fighting against him.With her airway cut off, Charlotte's face turned bright red. Just as her struggle against Jonathan was starting to wane, Jonathan suddenly got up and left her.Some of his sanity had returned. With a loud bang, Jonathan locked himself inside the bathroom.He turned on the faucet and let the ice cold water fill the bathtub. Then, he submerged himself into the water, trembling from head to toe.His palm had been cut open. Drops of blood that were eerily red swirled in the cold water.He could not touch Charlotte.Because Giselle would not want him then.Even though Jonathan was thinking rationally right now, the intense heat he was feeling inside his body had not been doused by the cold water.
Did Giselle just ask Charlotte to "do it"?Giselle was clearly trying to set up a trap for her!Although the proposal was enticing, Charlotte could not help but hesitate and feel wary because she had been ensnared in many compromising incidents before.She found it hard to believe that Giselle would be so magnanimous as to let her have Jonathan instead.It just seemed a little fishy!Before Charlotte could even say anything, Jonathan—with red-rimmed eyes and on the brink of losing his sanity—growled, "Get out! Touch me and you're dead!"Charlotte was stunned. She had never seen Jonathan like this before.Tears welled up in her eyes. "Jonathan…"As Charlotte cried his name out, she tentatively reached out to touch Jonathan on the arm. The moment her fingertip touched the corner of his shirt, he roared so loudly that Charlotte immediately shrunk back in fear."Get out!"Jonathan swept his arm across the table, sending everything crashing to the floor. He then staggered to get u
Giselle did not even care to learn how they managed to convince Charlotte to join them.None of it mattered anymore. Their plan was about to fail, after all. Did she seem that weak to them?While she was still deep in thought, there was suddenly the sound of someone kicking at the door. In the midst of that chaos, the sharp voice of a woman could be heard, saying, "Chester, I saw Giselle and Jonathan enter this room with my own eyes!"The door swung open.The bed inside was a mess, but there was no one there.Disarrayed footsteps headed toward the bathroom. Just like that, a group of people appeared in front of Giselle.Finley, who was the leader of the pack, was stunned when she saw that Giselle was still neatly dressed.This was different from what she had imagined!The calm look on Giselle's face did not look like that of someone who had just finished doing the deed. On the other hand, Jonathan, who was lying in the bathtub… looked extremely miserable.The media who had bee
The room was dimly lit.There was a thick scent of incense in the air. It did not take many inhalations before Giselle started to feel her body getting warm. She quickly covered her nose.Using the only source of light, she squinted her eyes and moved forward.Within seconds, the rough breathing of a man appeared next to her ear.The shadow on the wall was approaching her. When his hand was about to reach her, Giselle dodged to the left with one swift movement, leaving Jonathan embracing the air."Gigi…" The hoarse voice was laced with a hint of lust.The man tugged at the button of his collar as he approached Giselle once again. He was burning all over. It felt like he was being roasted from the inside. He was gradually losing his ability to think rationally.All he could see was the thin figure in front of him.Giselle was left speechless.They had cast a spell on this miserable man because they were not able to do it to her?There was no denying it. Angela and her friends
Angela, Finley, and Charlotte were rendered speechless.This explained why Giselle was able to make so many enemies. Just that mouth of hers could make people abhor her with a burning passion.What now? If Giselle did not go over, they would not be able to carry out their plan!The trio was beginning to grow anxious.Luckily enough, Giselle could sense their desperation. Being merciful, she said, "I mean, I won't go with you unless…"She was undoubtedly baiting them. There was a flash of malice in Angela's eyes as she gritted her teeth and asked, "Unless what?""Unless you let me play with your spell bugs."The moment she finished talking, the lights in the corridor suddenly came back on.Angela's face was as pale as death. How did Giselle know that she practiced witchcraft? She must be trying to trick her!Angela's petite body trembled. Still, she tried her best to maintain a calm composure."W-What spell bug? I don't know what you're talking about…""Oh, really? Then expla
