Chapter 96

Author: DuckDuckJoe
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 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 and Harry took this opportunity to get each other's contact details.The 18-year-old teenager was very friendly.There would always be a reason for him to text her every day. This was especially so after learning that she was acquainted with Chester. In fact, he was dying to gossip about it.Harry: "So Giselle, how'd you and Chester meet?"Harry: "Giselle, just tell me, pretty please? I know a secret about him."Harry: "I promise you, it's a TOP secret!"Chester's secret? There was no doubt that Giselle had taken the bait Harry cast.Her understanding of Chester was merely surface-level. She could not obtain much information about him on the internet.Giselle: "I'm not that close with Chester. The first time we met was when I was an exchange student abroad."That was not a lie. She sat on the beanbag with her head lowered while she typed away.Giselle: "It's your turn now. So what's that little secret of his?"Harry: "Chet's almost 30 and he's never been in a relatio

    Emma had sent a picture to Giselle.Emma: "Gigi, look. Is this your adoptive father?"Giselle enlarged the photo. It was evident that the photo had been taken in secret. The picture was dark. A man's silhouette could be vaguely seen with the help of the streetlight. He was embracing a woman tightly.Giselle: "Where was this taken?"Emma: "I went back to the law firm in the evening to take some documents. When I came out, I saw a man and a woman sneaking around. The man looked familiar."Giselle understood everything. When she pieced the incident outside the study together with this, it was apparent that Harold had been unfaithful for many years.Giselle saved the photo, already thinking of the perfect timing for the exposé.Considering how the Grant family had tormented her for many years, it would be disingenuous to say that there was zero resentment.Giselle never claimed to be a saint. She lived by a tit-for-tat principle.For her, there was nothing left in the Grant fami

    Charlotte still wasn't about to give up. However, Chester's patience had already run out. He suddenly stood up and strode toward her.Charlotte instinctively swallowed hard and stepped back. Her back hit the cold door, and her palms were slick with nervous sweat.She held her breath. "M-Mr. Fordham..."Chester extended his hand, voice sharp and commanding as he said, "Hand it over."Panic instantly surfaced on Charlotte's face. Her eyes darted around as she didn't dare meet his eyes.She tried to play dumb. "W-What do you mean?"Chester said flatly, "If you still want to survive in this city, I suggest you cooperate."The moment he finished speaking, that suffocating silence returned, cold and heavy.Charlotte's back was soaked in cold sweat. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.Chester caught every subtle expression on her face.Two minutes passed.Unfazed, Chester pulled out his phone and started dialing for someone."I-I'm sorry, Mr. Fordham!" Charlotte panicked and blur

    "M-Mr. Fordham." Charlotte walked into Chester's office under immense pressure, careful with every step she took.Faced with the stunningly handsome man before her, there was not a single trace of desire in her eyes. Compared to Jonathan, Chester was far more terrifying.Yet, deep down, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Giselle.Why did Giselle get to enjoy such special treatment? She was just a fake heiress who had taken someone else's place!Charlotte often found her thoughts spiraling every night.Did Giselle pull a trick of some sort to steal her rightful place? Otherwise, how could she have screwed up so badly?Chester's cold gaze swept past her like she was barely worth looking at. It was as if even one glance in her direction would disgust him.Chester asked, "Do I know you?" His deep voice was full of impatience.Charlotte, trembling with fear, clenched her palms and forced a smile that looked worse than if she'd been crying."Mr. Fordham, I know it was you who tol

    Polygamy wasn't allowed at all in Caldora."I know. We're not getting legally married, so it's not against the law.""Please, don't make things harder for Madam. Who could even give you advice on something like this?""Today's stream has really been an eye-opener.""If you want to be the first on the wedding night, couldn't you have discussed it with the other woman? Worst case, draw lots! If you're still unhappy, fight it out.""Where's the wedding tomorrow? I wanna watch the drama in person.""This stream's been recorded! If you just joined, check my page. Everyone has got to see this madness."Giselle's viewers were something else.Not only had they recorded the live stream in real time, but they also managed to piece together enough clues to figure out which hotel was booked for tomorrow's wedding.Giselle watched the flood of comments for a while.After a moment, she said, "Since you're already fine with two women sharing one husband, what difference does it make who's f

    "Hi, Madam. I'm really troubled by something right now. My ex-husband is getting married tomorrow. I'm going to marry him alongside another woman. How do I ensure he chooses to spend the wedding night with me first?"The confused female voice rang clearly in everyone's ears.Everyone, including Giselle, was left dumbfounded. The live stream chat fell into dead silence.Moments later, it exploded with a flurry of activity."Wait, your ex-husband's getting married? You're marrying him alongside another woman? And you want to be the first to consummate the marriage?""Has the world gone completely mad? The only thing I haven't seen at this point is a ghost.""If this isn't scripted...

    Chester looked into Giselle's eyes as he raised the corners of his lips slightly. "You're my wife. You can do whatever you want."After his last accident, he had taken advantage of the situation with Giselle under the pretext of amnesia. He would call her his "wife" or "Gigi" interchangeably.Until now, he had not had the time to come clean to her about this. Chester needed more time.Giselle was overwhelmed by the sudden profession of love.For some reason, her entire body suddenly felt warm. She looked away quickly, rolled down the car window, and let the wind blow upon her face. It was only then that her pounding heart settled into a calm rhythm.Chester caught everything from beside her.A trace of delight flashed across his eyes at the speed of light. When their gaze met again, however, it had disappeared without a trace.Chester decided to take it slow and easy.He straightened up and said, "A new restaurant recently opened in the suburbs. Should we go there for lunch?"

    "You don't have to explain anything. Me and Jonathan? We're just aunt and nephew to each other."You're trying to ask him out, aren't you? When you finally win him over, don't forget to address me as Aunt Giselle, okay?"It was a soul-crushing blow.Giselle used their unique relationship as an opportunity to attack them without mercy!The greatest part about this was that they could not do anything to her.Charlotte's and Jonathan's expressions matched, which was a rare sight. Jonathan clenched his teeth in anger. His eyes hardened as he said, "Giselle, you're truly something else!"She knew to hit where it hurt. How did he not know that Giselle had this side to her?Giselle feigned humility. "You're too kind."The whole fiasco between the trio was becoming something of a movie to the passersby. Even when lunchtime was almost over, they were reluctant to leave.Some really were born with the talent to gossip.If they had to choose between money and gossip-worthy news, they

    One could easily find Giselle's, Chester's, and Jonathan's names online through related keywords.The news came from an insider, so the credibility was 99.99%.The atmosphere between the two became heated.When Jonathan finally managed to suppress his negative emotions, Giselle's phone rang. Instantly, his heart skipped a beat. Alarm bells started to ring in his head.Sure enough…"I'm sorry, Chester. I forgot that you're no longer at Lawson Group."Giselle addressed Chester affectionately without any hesitation.She did this on purpose, of course.Jonathan was rendered speechless. He was so mad that he could even kill someone right now.But when Jonathan recalled his mother's admonition after his fight with Chester, he did his best to hold his anger back.From the phone, Chester could be heard saying, "Just stay there. I'll come over right now."When the call ended, Giselle could hear Jonathan's sneer. "Do you have to get on my nerves, Giselle?"His resentment was as cle

    Jonathan was practically running on autopilot mode as his legs carried him toward Giselle.Meanwhile, Giselle was waiting for Chester's reply.All of a sudden, a shadow loomed over her, followed by a familiar voice that called, "Gigi."Both of them were good-looking people. Their standing side by side drew many people's attention.Passersby—including the employees—looked in their direction. They had even slowed down subconsciously as they walked by, just to catch a glimpse.Giselle's gaze went from casual to chilling in a split second.There was coldness hidden in her eyes, and a look of vexation settled on her face.Giselle took two steps away from him, putting some distance between them.Jonathan felt like someone was gripping his heart tight, making him feel suffocated.Dismay instantly replaced the feeling of excitement he had felt earlier. He stared at Giselle with woeful eyes. "Gigi…"Giselle did not buy into his words and pitiful act.She grunted. "Jonathan, is this h

    An hour later, the car arrived at Lawson Group.The sky looked gray and hazy, while the air was hot.It was now lunchtime, so there were a lot of people going in and out of the building. Giselle texted Chester, letting him know that she had arrived.At the same time, Jonathan, in his sleep-deprived state, was staring at his phone. The expression on his face was so dark that Rick, his assistant, was trembling with fear when he came in to brief Jonathan on his schedule. He did not even dare to breathe."M-Mr. Lawson…""This had better be important!"Jonathan was like an explosive that could detonate any second.Rick gulped. "Mr. Lawson, I've notified the board that the meeting will be held at the conference room at 2:00 pm…"His voice trailed off at the end.With a loud bang, Jonathan threw his phone to the ground.When it crashed onto the floor, the screen shattered into pieces.That immediately shut Rick up.Ever since Jonathan had returned from the hospital, his temper had
