"Yes, yes. I'm just a poor nobody. You're so generous, but you're only transferring 20 thousand dollars?"

Clearly, this taunt worked wonders on Linda. Stung by the provocation, she pressed another two zeros, increasing the sum.

Satisfied, Giselle released her grip. With a look of disgust, she wiped her hands with a wet tissue, as though she had touched something filthy.

Linda was shocked and collapsed to the floor.

Giselle looked at Linda, who was unconscious on the floor. She then innocently turned toward the shocked doctors and nurses. "I didn't do anything," she said.

The scene just moments ago had been nothing short of dramatic—an astonishing reversal of power. Giselle had everyone around her feeling exhilarated.

Linda was carried out by her bodyguards. The doctors and nurses then confirmed Yvonne's condition was stable and left the room.

At this moment, the room quieted down.

Yvonne gazed at Giselle. She wanted to say so much, but the only words that came out were j

    The temperature in Seaworth City dropped sharply as autumn set in. Especially at night, going out with bare arms and legs would make anyone feel chilly.As Giselle left the hospital parking lot, she noticed three familiar figures. Sebastian and Harold flanked Charlotte. She was wrapped tightly in layers of clothing, appearing fragile as though a gust of wind could blow her away. With the guardrail opened, Giselle casually looked away. She had never imagined that one day she'd offend every single member of the Grant family so thoroughly. But… It felt so satisfying. Even the air back home seemed to have a sweetness to it now. …Inside the car, Charlotte removed her mask and looked up at Sebastian with a pitiful expression. "Sebastian, Mrs. Lawson's coming back tomorrow. My face is still swollen…"That wretched woman, Lily, had almost destroyed Charlotte. Thankfully, she hadn't left any permanent scars, but the pain still stung. Because of it, she was making a scene in front of

    No matter what was said or done now, Emma would just take it as an attempt to hide the truth.After about 40 minutes, a message from Chester popped up, "Come downstairs."It was short and straightforward.Seeing Giselle get up, Emma waved her off generously before she could even speak. "Go ahead. Go fly into your lover's arms."Giselle was at a loss for words. Sometimes, she thought that it'd be nice if some people weren't able to talk.Chester was leaning against the hood of his car downstairs, his black trench coat accentuating his tall figure. He only lifted his slightly lowered head when he heard footsteps.Underneath his dark, messy hair was a face with refined and attractive features. His gold-framed glasses added an air of grace and classiness to him.Suppressing the look of amazement in her eyes, Giselle politely asked, "Mr. Fordham, is there something you need from me?""Uncle Richard asked me to come pick you up."Giselle fell silent.Richard did say that he would g

    "Giselle Stone, I've really underestimated you!"Jonathan wrapped his arms around Giselle's slim waist from behind, his low, husky voice carrying a hint of restrained anger.Giselle jumped from shock, causing the flashlight in her hand to drop to the ground and roll off to the side.The large hand around her waist was impossible to ignore."Now that Hector doesn't want you anymore, you go after my uncle? Aren't you a little too shameless, Giselle?"The two of them had appeared together in front of him more than once.He had previously suspected their relationship but quickly dismissed the idea. In his mind, Chester and Giselle were people from two different worlds—they couldn't possibly be together.However, seeing the two of them get out of the car together shook his belief, making him irritated and furious.When he saw Giselle head to the wine cellar alone, he followed her without a second thought.After sending the housekeeper away, it was just him and Giselle there.As Gi

    Vivian blinked innocently, wearing an expression that made her look as if she were truly concerned for Giselle.In an instant, everyone's gazes at the table turned toward Giselle.The bewildered Giselle questioned, "I'm pregnant?"She was single. Even if she wanted to be pregnant, it was impossible to do it alone.However, Vivian's words reminded her of the message she received a few days ago. Now that Giselle put two and two together, the answer was obvious."Yeah. Did you forget, Gigi? That night, you bought that thing at the pharmacy. Lindsay and I saw you."With Jean present, Vivian called Giselle by her nickname. Vivian wasn't the least bit bothered by how appalling it sounded.Giselle frowned with disgust, whereas Vivian began her offensive again. "But you and Jon are no longer together. Does that mean that the child—"She didn't get to finish her sentence as Jean sharply scolded her, "Vivi! Don't spout nonsense!"Everyone present was smart enough to understand that Vivi

    Richard turned to Jean. "I know you young people still want to focus on your careers, but I'm old now and can't handle their matters anymore!"On the whole, Jonathan was more well-behaved than Vivian.At least he wasn't wayward. If he became a spoiled playboy who only cared about enjoying himself, Richard would probably kick him out of the family on the spot.As for Vivian, Richard had already done everything he could as the grandfather of a young woman. It was hard to handle her rebellious phase.Since she was still young and her behavior could be corrected, Richard selfishly hoped that Jean could put her career on hold and spend time with her.After dinner, Jean asked Giselle to see her in the study.She took a palm-sized box out of the drawer and handed it to Giselle. "Sorry for only giving you your 25th birthday present now, Gigi."Giselle instinctively declined, but Jean firmly insisted she accept it."I know all about the ridiculous things Jonathan did.

    Giselle and Jean had just reached the staircase when they ran into Jonathan—what a coincidence.After what happened in the wine cellar, the sight of Giselle reignited Jonathan's barely suppressed anger. His narrow eyes were bloodshot, his brow furrowing with hostility.The calm Giselle was a stark contrast to his demeanor.Even though Jean wasn't aware of what had happened between them, her instincts told her it couldn't be anything good.Jonathan didn't say a word to Giselle.Upon spotting Charlotte in the living room, he immediately strode toward her.Seeing him walk away, Jean frowned."Jonathan!" The moment Charlotte spotted Jonathan, her face lit up with joy, her features coming alive with excitement. She looked every bit like a young woman in love.Jonathan's presence finally alleviated some of the awkwardness in the atmosphere.Giselle and Jean walked over a moment later.As Giselle didn't see Chester around, she subtly let out a sigh of relief."Hello, Mrs. Lawson."

    "As long as I'm alive, Charlotte will never be a part of the Lawson family! If you insist on marrying her, you can get out too!" Richard said.These words instantly wiped away the brief joy on the faces of the Grants. Their expressions darkened almost simultaneously.Richard's statement turned their visit that evening into a pathetic display of self-delusion.The Lawson family clearly looked down on them, yet here they were, desperately ingratiating themselves.Even though they were furious, the Grants dared not voice their anger. They were mindful of the Lawson family's status in Seaworth City.Jean remained silent, evidently in agreement with Richard.Tears quickly formed in Charlotte's eyes, but she stubbornly held back. There was a hint of a sob when she said, "Jonathan, don't argue with your grandpa because of me. I'm okay…"Her good girl act came again.Giselle wanted to leave but also wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold.With the Lawson family present, the Grants

    Chester's black coat was draped over his arm. He was wearing a white shirt.With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his unbuttoned collar added a casual and slightly languid air.Before Jean could say anything, Chester stopped right in front of Giselle.His eyes lowered, and his long lashes cast faint shadows on his cheeks. Then, he said in a crisp, cold tone, "Ms. Stone, let's go. I'll take you home."Jean was slightly surprised. She hadn't told him, but Chester had already volunteered to take Giselle? Since when was her younger brother so enthusiastic about helping others?Jean didn't have time to dwell on it and simply reminded them, "Be careful on the way. Gigi, text me when you're home."Giselle obediently agreed and forced herself to follow Chester out. The cool breeze outside blew away the heat from her flushed face, clearing her thoughts considerably.A black luxury car was parked in the courtyard. Chester opened the car door for her.

    Giselle's gaze was calm as she wasn't expressing any emotion at all.Jonathan was speechless at that moment. As his phone's screen dimmed, his hands fell to his sides, and there was a complicated look on his dashing face. He never knew Giselle was living a life like that with the Grants.The Lawsons and the Grants decided that their children would get married because of their elders' intentions.To the outside world, the Grants were out of everyone's league. At first, Jonathan really didn't want to be with Giselle. He cared a lot about hierarchies and thought a person like Giselle wasn't worthy to be his fiancée at all. However, his feelings for her slowly changed without him knowing.They had always been classmates, from elementary school to university, and he started liking her at the beginning of high school. Back then, he was so deeply in love with her that he would do anything for her. However, did he really like her?If Giselle hadn't exposed the truth at that moment, he nev

    The onslaught of comments continued."I have a feeling that the Grants knew that Giselle wasn't their child since the beginning.""With a family as suffocating as that, I would never want to be a part of them, even if they're rich."After seeing the transaction records, photo evidence, and recordings, the people online could imagine how tough Giselle's childhood was.No thief would willingly live a life like that! It didn't matter even if Giselle had a great life with the Grants—she was clearly tortured!If it weren't for Giselle, Charlotte would've been the one being scolded and hurt instead. So, Giselle was clearly pitiful. Not only did she have to suffer, but she also had to pay the Grants five million dollars as compensation. She was paying to have a terrible life!With that thought in mind, the people online started discussing the situation again. However, it wasn't over yet. Giselle posted a timeline that incriminated Charlotte for interfering in her relationship.Giselle

    Giselle looked uncaring, but her words and actions were the complete opposite. When she went all out, no one could get in her way. All three people in front of her had witnessed it before.When she uttered that last sentence, they all recalled bad memories at the same time. Among the three of them, Jonathan had the most terrible look on his face. He looked so gloomy that it seemed like it was going to rain over his head soon.At that moment, Giselle clearly had the situation in her control.Just as the mood was feeling tense, Charlotte received a call, and her face visibly turned pale. Then, her shoulders started trembling, and she looked weak.Vivian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Lottie? You look terrible. Do you feel unwell?"Hearing that, Jonathan finally looked away from Giselle. He moved his fingers a little, but he didn't support Charlotte at all.Charlotte's eyes teared up as she glared at Giselle. Then, she choked weakly, "Giselle! When did I ever mess with you? I did e

    "Mr. Lawson, please donate your eyes to someone who needs them if you won't use them yourself."After Giselle said that, she put her phone away and lazily stood there. She didn't look scared at all when three people were attacking her.The more she acted that way, the more frustrated Jonathan felt. He didn't understand why she was still so arrogant when she clearly had nothing left. He wondered who gave her the confidence to act that way. Was it Chester?Not only did Chester not help her with the cyberbullying this time, but he even made things worse for her. So, Jonathan had to eliminate him as a possibility. In which case, who else could it be?Suddenly, Harry's name popped into Jonathan's mind, and he clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles made a sound. Then, he said with a scoff, "You sure are capable, Giselle!"Jonathan thought Giselle was more active than a social butterfly for changing partners nonstop. He couldn't believe she would actually go for someone as young as

    Jonathan had appeared behind Giselle. His dashing face looked gloomy, and his sharp gaze looked hostile."Jonathan!" Charlotte called out in excitement. Her eyes lit up as if she had seen her savior.Vivian poked her head out from behind and comforted Charlotte, "Don't worry, Lottie. Jon is here to save you!"Hearing that, Charlotte finally stopped feeling anxious.Meanwhile, Giselle held back her urge to laugh. She took two steps forward and got closer to Jonathan. Then, she scoffed and turned around, saying mockingly, "It looks like you're having difficulty hearing at such a young age, Mr. Lawson. I'm talking about teaching your darling a lesson, of course!"She thought Charlotte was being too naive in thinking that she was saved with Jonathan here. Even if an actual god was here, Charlotte would still have to pay for what she had done."Play nice, Giselle!" Jonathan's head was throbbing when he heard Giselle's sarcastic words. He didn't walk to Charlotte's side. Instead, he ju

    Jonathan stood tall with his jacket hung on his arm. He looked elegant as he walked anxiously into the station. After scanning the room, he saw Vivian walking toward him."Jon, how did you know I was here? I was just about to call you!"Among all the people in the Lawson family, Vivian looked up to her brother the most. He was dashing and capable; she was proud to call him her brother.When she first learned that Jonathan was dating Giselle, she threw a tantrum and didn't want to eat for three days. After realizing that no one cared about her, she started messing with Giselle in the dark.At first, she would hold herself back, thinking that Giselle was the daughter of the Grant family. When the true daughter of the Grants showed up, she became out of control.As the daughter of the Lawsons, she would always look down on Giselle and oppress her. When she saw Giselle submissively enduring it, Vivian despised her even more. There was no way Vivian would let Giselle become her sister-

    Vivian laughed as she gloated, and the anger within her faded a little."Serves you right!" she exclaimed, thinking that Giselle couldn't check into a room with Harry now.Lindsay was speechless. She knew how arrogant Vivian could be, but she never expected the latter to be that petty. She put on her headphones and said, "I have to leave now. Vivian, don't call me over something like this in the future."From what Lindsay could tell, Vivian was just being unreasonable. When Lindsay stood there, she felt extremely awkward.Vivian turned to her and asked, "Linds, aren't you going to check out the situation with me?"Lindsay placed her hands in her pockets and walked away. "No, thanks. I'm busy."When she was called, Lindsay thought Vivian was being beaten up by someone. However, it turned out to be something trivial.Feeling upset, Vivian pouted her lips and mumbled, "Why is she so cocky?" Then, she got into a taxi and hurriedly went to the police station.…When Giselle saw the

    Lindsay was stunned when she heard that, thinking that Vivian was out of her mind.A suppressed feeling resurfaced when Lindsay heard Vivian spreading such a scandalous thing. She pursed her lips and coldly asked, "Who did you call?""My brother and uncle!" said Vivian.Lindsay understood why Vivian would call Jonathan, but she didn't understand why Vivian would tell Chester about it as well. After all, from what she knew, Giselle had nothing to do with the Fordhams.Vivian could tell Lindsay was confused, and she put on a pitiful act. "I've forgotten to tell you something, Linds. Your family has been attacked."Lindsay became even more confused when she heard that. "What do you mean?""My uncle, who is your cousin, has been seduced by Giselle!"…Harry and Giselle stood by the road as they waited for the driver to bring the car around.Harry was wearing a black hoodie that complemented his figure. His tan skin showed how energetic he was. He was on his phone when he suddenly

    Giselle wondered if Vivian was blind. As she stared at Vivian, her gaze went cold, and she deemed the younger girl to be an idiot.Lindsay was silent for a long time. Her gaze moved back and forth between Giselle and Harry, and she noticed they both looked beautiful and dashing respectively. So, when they stood together, nothing seemed wrong to her.Despite that, she thought it didn't seem likely that what Vivian said was true. Instead of a couple, Giselle and Harry looked more like siblings to her.Lindsay fell into a deep thought. She wasn't sure if she was imagining it, but she thought those two looked a little identical.When Vivian noticed Lindsay wasn't saying anything, she became anxious. "Linds, you have to help me!"Lindsay helplessly shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do, Vivian. Do you have any proof that there's something fishy going on between them?"Vivian was stunned by the question. After stuttering for a while, she still couldn't answer Lindsay. Everything
