Chapter 89

Author: DuckDuckJoe
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. You've made the ri

    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. When Giselle bent down to get in, h

    "Lily!"The man angrily kicked open the hospital room door, his loud voice echoing in the corridor.Giselle's expression turned cold as she took out her phone and started recording."Lily! Delete all that stuff online right now! Do you have any idea how much damage it's causing me? If you've lost your mind, go to a mental hospital! Don't drag me down with you!"Brady suddenly appeared after being busy with work for a long time.Lily's heart tightened, and she instinctively stepped in front of Yvonne to shield her.Brady removed his hat and mask, revealing the face that Lily had been infatuated with for over 20 years. Time had only added maturity to his features.But his handsome face was now contorted with rage, and the icy glint in his eyes carried a hint of malice.Lily felt her heart sink in an instant."Brady! Don't argue with me here! Yves needs to rest.""Rest? What kind of trick are you two playing this time? Let me tell you, your tactics won't work on me!" Brady let o

    Giselle stepped aside, causing Brady to miss. She raised an eyebrow lightly and looked at him icily. "Why wouldn't I dare?"Brady was so enraged that he lost all sense of reason. Any restraint he had about not hitting women was thrown out the window as he charged at Giselle.Just then, Lily let out a piercing scream. "Brady!"Brady thought he could overpower Giselle with brute force, but he had underestimated her strength.Giselle quickly grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder, slamming him hard onto the floor. This stunned everyone in the hospital room.Giselle calmly planted a foot on Brady's back and called the police."What do you want? Money? I have plenty! Name your price, and I'll pay if you delete the video!"Brady was in utter despair, feeling that his career was about to collapse. At this point, he didn't care if Giselle wanted money or men. He would find a way to fulfill her wishes!"Do I look like someone who needs money?" Giselle pressed harder with her fo

    Giselle, Chester, and Hector were on the second floor of the restaurant.Following Hector's gaze downward, they spotted a woman who looked strikingly similar to Charlotte. She was being forcefully kissed by a man against the wall near the first-floor restroom.Giselle glanced at the scene briefly before withdrawing her gaze. "It is Charlotte."Giselle could recognize the woman who had disgusted her for years, even if she turned to ashes.Hector grew intrigued and clicked his tongue before adding teasingly, "Could the guy kissing her be Jonathan?"Judging by the build, the man seemed a bit too thin. He was also a little short compared to Jonathan. So, if it wasn't Jonathan, who could it be?Anyone within their circle could tell that Charlotte and Jonathan weren't merely ordinary friends. Would she really go out of his way to hurt his fiancée's feelings if he didn't have any feelings for the so-called friend?The trio didn't linger on the sight and followed the waiter into their p

    Everyone understood the words, but somehow, when strung together, they didn't make sense anymore."Did he save your life or something?" This was the phrase Giselle had asked repeatedly.She swallowed her frustration at the caller's naive words before saying, "He went out with another woman before breaking up with you. It shows that he clearly didn't respect you or value your feelings. If he truly loved you, he would have respected you and upheld the boundaries of a relationship."The commenters instantly agreed with her. "Madam is absolutely right. Don't be foolish, girl. We don't need useless men.""While you're here moping around, he's already enjoying himself with someone new.""No need to win him back. There are plenty of men out there. DM me, and I'll introduce you to some hot guys!"The woman in the call started crying. "But I really like him…""Liking him alone isn't enough. If you lower yourself to beg for reconciliation, you're just degrading yourself," said Giselle.

    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.

    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.

Are you out of your mind?"

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?

The content had to be sensational enough to generate traffic.Reality was often stranger and more mind-boggling than fiction.Giselle read them all and felt that every one of them could be made into a separate video.

    Giselle continued the live stream for another two hours before she ended the session.Yvette passed the notepad with the lady's contact over to Giselle.

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.
