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.
Giselle remained expressionless, though she felt the urge to laugh.Then, she typed a reply. "You already said she's your ex. Whoever she's with now has nothing to do with you. So, I suggest you mind your own business."Yesterday, in the Lawson family's wine cellar, she had used Chester to ruthlessly provoke Jonathan. She even boldly declared she'd make him call her Aunt Giselle.For someone as prideful as Jonathan, such humiliation was unbearable. He was so furious he skipped dinner entirely.Later, without consulting Richard or anyone else, he impulsively decided to get engaged to Charlotte. Of course, there was an element of spite involved."She can't be with my uncle!"The thought of meeting her in the future and being forced to call his ex his aunt made Jonathan feel suffocated.The image of Giselle kissing Chester remained vivid in his mind.How bad was it? It made him dream of the two kissing right in front of him at night. And after the kiss, they interlocked their fing
"It has nothing to do with Lottie," Jonathan finally said.He downed drink after drink, his dark and oppressive demeanor making it impossible for anyone to provoke him.Oddly enough, he felt that it was a little quieter than when he was alone despite the crowded setting.Larry drank a few glasses with him. Then, out of nowhere, he heard Jonathan ask, "Larry, what would you do if your ex got together with your uncle?"Larry's brain didn't process the question. Ex? Uncle? Together?"Jon, you must be drunk. What kind of nonsense are you saying…""Answer me." The commanding tone swallowed the rest of Larry's words."If my ex got together with my uncle? I would probably laugh my head off."My uncle is a gambler and a womanizer. If she chooses him, isn't that just self-torture? If my ex found someone worse than me, I would joke about it for the rest of my life."…Meanwhile, Emma transferred the one thousand dollars to Giselle's account.Then, she texted Giselle. "Gigi, that was brilliant, b
"Hi, do you have any candles?"Under the bright light, the teenager stood tall with a healthy complexion. Even though his features were still youthful and soft, there were already hints of captivating charm.His dark eyes carried a faint uneasiness, and his tightly clenched fingers had turned pale.Giselle retracted her scrutinizing gaze. "The property management is staffed 24/7. You can just call them if there's a power outage."Faced with a male stranger knocking on her door late at night, Giselle remained highly vigilant.Then, she stepped back. She was about to close the door when the boy suddenly fell forward with a loud thud, landing flat on his face.Giselle was shocked. Was her new neighbor trying to scam her?She called for an ambulance and crouched down to turn him over, bending her finger to check if he was breathing. There was a faint, warm flow. He was alive.Giselle let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the doorframe, waiting for the ambulance. After som
Harry held on as long as he could and knocked on Giselle's door before he eventually blacked out.She must have gotten quite a scare. It was rare for Harry to do a self-reflection and be annoyed at himself.He wanted to get down from the bed. As he tore the blanket off, he felt a man's hand press him back down.Confused, Harry lifted his head and asked, "Chet?""She didn't come."Those three words instantly made Harry downcast.With a calm expression, Chester asked, "Do you know her?""No. We met for the first time today."Having said this, Harry scratched his head and added, "She just feels familiar."He was not sure why either. …Chester left only when the assistant arrived. A text message from Giselle soon appeared on his phone.Gigi: "Is he okay?"Chester: "He's fine. His hypoglycemia was acting up."Only then was Giselle relieved.Everyone slept peacefully that night.When she woke up, Charlotte's name was the most-searched name on Twitter.After scanning through
Feeling perplexed, Giselle frowned."The Grant family clothed and fed you. We have never mistreated you, have we? Who gave you the right to do this?"This inquisition was laced with insurmountable anger.Sebastian looked at the descending curve on the computer screen. He was livid.He had been overwhelmingly busy these few days.Before Brady's incident, the company had already been under malicious attack by some parties.First, their plan was leaked. Then, their key employees were poached.Bad things happened one after another. For the finale, the incident involving Brady took the cake.The products he endorsed were getting boycotted by buyers nationwide. They demanded a return and refund of their money.They refused to use the products that a scumbag endorsed, fearing that karma would prevent them from finding their significant others in the future.That was just pure nonsense! Sebastian had just taken over the family's business but now had a mountain of problems to deal w
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
