Jean invited Giselle for dinner at a peaceful restaurant.

There was a small stage in the center of the hall, where someone was playing the violin. The restaurant only had one floor, and the private room was located at the end of the hallway. The decorations were simply stylish and exquisite.

When Giselle reached the restaurant, Jean was already in the private room. The latter was 46 years old. That said, she looked like she was in her 30s at most due to her meticulous skincare routine. She had aged well throughout the years, and there were no signs of aging on her face at all.

When she heard the doors open, Jean looked up and saw Giselle. The cold gaze she previously wore warmed up a little.

"Oh, you're here, Gigi. Here! Have a seat."

Giselle greeted Jean politely before taking a seat in front of her.

Jean asked the waiter for the menu and handed it to Giselle. "There's no need for formalities with me. Have a look at the menu and see what you'd like to eat."

    Jean continued, "I've already told Vivi that she's not allowed to hang out with Charlotte anymore."Charlotte was the beginning of Jean's bad luck. Not only did she bring misfortune to Jonathan, but she also led Vivian astray.Jean frowned deeply as her eyes flashed with disgust, betraying how she truly felt."It's right to have her stay away from Charlotte." Giselle agreed with that decision. As she had expected, there were still decent people in the Lawson family.Although it was too late for Jonathan to turn over a new leaf, there was still a chance for Vivian as long as they did their best with her now. If it was impossible, then Giselle would respect her choice for what it was and say nothing more.After staying silent for a moment, Giselle asked, "Mrs. Lawson, I'm sure you didn't invite me for a drink just to talk about this, right?"Jean met Giselle's calm eyes and was stunned for a brief moment. Then, she nodded. "You sure are smart, Gigi."She had always treated Giselle

    Meanwhile, Charlotte and Jonathan were at Paradise Club. Charlotte was wearing a long white dress, while he was in a suit. She mindlessly walked beside him and looked hesitant."Jonathan, why don't I head back first? It might be inconvenient for me to be around while you're in a meeting."After she left the cafe miserably that afternoon, Charlotte hurriedly returned home to change into a new set of clothes.She gritted her teeth in great hatred, but she couldn't do anything about Giselle. The videos taken in the cafe were spreading all over the internet. Sebastian was upset at her for the first time because of this, and he lectured her with suppressed anger.Charlotte felt aggrieved, but she couldn't talk about it with anyone. Harold would be out the whole day, and she wouldn't see him for a while.As for Linda, no one knew what she was up to recently. She looked anxious, and when Charlotte asked about it, Linda would tell her to stay out of an adult's business.Charlotte didn'

    Jonathan's gaze fell on Giselle, who was standing next to Jean.Giselle calmly looked into his eyes. It was a familiar gaze, but there was no love for him anymore. That was something Jonathan had known for a long time, and he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly."Why can't I be here?" Jean coldly looked at him. As his mother, she managed to stop him from talking to Giselle for the time being."I'm just saying that it isn't appropriate for you to be here."Paradise Club was a proper place of business. However, most of its patrons were powerful businessmen, and it was rare for women to be there. Clearly, Jean and Giselle stood out amongst the crowd"Why can't I bring Gigi here when you can bring Charlotte here?"Jonathan didn't expect Jean to bring up Charlotte so suddenly, and his frown deepened. Bringing Charlotte was a last-minute decision, but Jean was acting as if she already knew it would happen a long time ago.Feeling suspicious, Jonathan looked at Giselle once more.

    It was Chris who pulled Giselle into the room, and he pinned her against the door frame. When she smelled the alcohol on his warm breath, she felt incredibly uncomfortable."So, you're the one they sent, huh?"Giselle was confused when she heard that. After all, he was the one who dragged her into the room. She didn't understand why he would say that. She almost chuckled in anger as her eyes widened incredulously.It was dark in the room, and there was only a single mood light in the corner."They have good taste this time." Chris sounded satisfied as he spoke in a hoarse voice. Just as he was about to kiss Giselle, she suddenly kicked him in the crotch with a raised knee.His pained scream filled the entire room. It hurt so much that the lust he was feeling as a result of the drugs he'd taken was fading away slowly.Chris fell and curled up on the ground. Giselle looked down at him and heard some footsteps approaching from behind. Then, the person in charge of Paradise Club open

    When Giselle finally caught up with Jean, everything was already over. Charlotte ran past her while crying with her face covered.Then, Giselle looked at Jean and the gloomy Jonathan. The relationship between the mother and son was tense. Since Jean was often busy with work, they weren't close to begin with. Because of Charlotte, they became even more distant from each other."Mrs. Lawson."Jean could tell from Giselle's gaze that she was worried, so she shook her head and said, "I'm alright."After that, Jean coldly looked at Jonathan. "I don't care what reasons you might have in the future. Stay away from Charlotte from now on!"Charlotte's shameless acts humiliated Jean to no end, and the latter couldn't figure out why Jonathan would like someone like that. After all, how could Charlotte ever compare to Giselle? They were two completely different women, and he just had to pick the worst one!Jean was truly infuriated this time as she found her son's poor judgment embarrassing.

    Jean was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe Chester would call Giselle in the middle of the night. To her, Chester was always cold and aloof, keeping a distance between himself and everyone else. Regardless of gender, that was how he treated everyone around him.Jean couldn't help thinking about the time when she asked him to send Giselle home previously. Back then, he didn't reject the request as well. From what Jean could tell, something fishy was going on.Giselle answered the call in front of Jean. "Hi, Mr. Fordham.""I just heard that you're at the police station. Is that true?"Giselle kept quiet for a moment. She was surprised by how quickly he had received the news. Of course, she knew it had to be Jim who told him about it. When Sebastian was at the station previously, Jim was the one who called Chester to back her up.Giselle lowered her gaze and answered with a light hum. When she felt Jean's gaze on her, she simply said she was about to head home."Let me pick you up."

    Chris continued with another message. "I wasn't doing it on purpose. I was drugged."When he first saw the footage, he felt a little excited. However, when he saw Giselle kicking him in the crotch, the excitement immediately went away. Even when he was sending the message, he could still feel the pain in his lower body. That was the biggest humiliation of his life!Had he been hurt beyond saving, he would never let her go, even if she was innocent! There was no way he would take the initiative to apologize to her like that."Sure. I'll forget about it this time. However, I think you should cut down on your erotic fantasies, Mr. Barton."As Giselle sent that message, she remembered what had happened back then, and she had goosebumps all over her body. She knew he was drugged. However, she wasn't the one who did it, so she could do whatever she had to. After all, she couldn't possibly let him do whatever he wanted to her.When Chris read her message, he suppressed his anger. He only

    Giselle tapped into the news to check it out. Then, a video clip showed up—the same one that led to Charlotte's bullying online. However, the context of the story had changed.She didn't have the patience to go through all the texts. Fortunately for her, someone in the comment section had summarized it."Let me summarize it for everyone. I'm sure everyone is aware of identity theft, right? The woman who splashed the coffee stole the other woman's life as the daughter of a rich family."Giselle's identity had been exposed on the internet. With Charlotte's notorious reputation, their names were ranked high on the trending list.For more than 20 years, Giselle enjoyed the wealthy life that should've belonged to Charlotte. On the contrary, Charlotte had a difficult life. In order to survive, she had to work while she studied. She was the prime example of an inspirational woman.With that, Charlotte's reputation improved a little, and the people online were enjoying the gossip as it un

    The Lawsons had sent someone to await Giselle and Chester's arrival.Chester opened the car door for Giselle like a gentleman. "Here, Gigi. I'll tell you what's currently happening after we get in the car."It felt warm inside the vehicle, and their cold hands were slowly warming up. Then, Chester slowly announced, "Jean wants to get divorced from Perry."Perry was Jonathan and Vivian's father, making him Chester's brother-in-law. Giselle wasn't that surprised to hear the news. Ever since Jean started asking her for relationship advice, Giselle figured something had gone wrong in their marriage.Giselle presumed there was only one reason for Jean to want a divorce—Perry had cheated on her.Perry and Jean had been in a long-distance relationship for many years, and they had their own careers to focus on. So, they could only see each other two times per year at most. Since they rarely ever spoke to each other over the phone, their marriage would've broken down sooner or later.Thei

    Three days later, Giselle and Chester returned to their home country. Harry wanted to tag along as well. However, he pitifully stayed back because of how insistent Jackie was. As Harry had expected, Jackie only allowed him to take a break from school to watch the race because there was something he wanted from Harry. Just like that, the innocent Harry had fallen into Jackie's trap. His eyes teared up as he watched Giselle and Chester leave without him.When they were on the plane, Giselle only switched her phone to flight mode after replying to Chris' message. With Jackie's help, Chris' matter was resolved efficiently. The people who hunted him were all captured and waiting to be charged.Meanwhile, Giselle was feeling great after she received a huge amount of money. Since she managed to get the money with ease, she donated half of it to charity out of habit to do a good deed.Chester was sitting next to her on the flight back. He had casually left his coat to the side and was onl

    Jonathan was certain that he had never loved Charlotte. With that thought in mind, he figured he hadn't betrayed anyone. Instead, he brushed it off as a mistake any guy would've made.While Jonathan was busy persuading himself, Giselle habitually grabbed Chester's arm. Then, she smiled at Jonathan and said, "In that case, be sure to attend our wedding."If there was one thing that Emma and Giselle shared an interest in, it would be making their exes call them aunts. Just the thought of it could make them excited."You're not going to do it."From what Jonathan remembered about Giselle, she would never do something like that. Seeing the pain flashing in his eyes for a split second, Chester's gaze darkened a little. Then, Chester interlocked his fingers with Giselle's tightly and looked at Jonathan again with a provocative gaze."Why wouldn't I? Do you know me that well?" Giselle asked after chuckling. She could clearly see how shocked Jonathan was for a moment, and she smiled even

    Half an hour later, Jonathan was the first to arrive. He had two wounds on his forehead. When he walked toward Giselle with his dashing long face, he looked silly.From what she could remember, the most defeated she had ever seen him was when he stood up for her back in high school. Back then, she was bullied by a school thug, and he was the only one who protected her.When Giselle found Jonathan later that day, he was covered in injuries. That might've been the time she started liking him more. Ever since she was a young girl, her parents had been strict with her, and they never cared about her safety.To put it bluntly, she never experienced any love growing up. That was why she would be easily moved by any act of kindness, and it made her shallow.However, she finally thought it through after that. Why did she need someone else to make her feel secure? Why couldn't she just protect herself? No one else in the world could be trusted, and she was the only person who wouldn't betra

    Feeling guilty, Simon decided to leave most of the family business to Chris. He even said that Chris could have everything that belonged to the Bartons. Conversely, Simon had Chris appoint Larry to a random position in the company with an appropriate income. Chris had never planned on wasting his time on family drama. As for Larry and Jaqueline, he just told someone to keep an eye on them and never did anything to harm them at all.However, that was the reason why Jaqueline became ambitious. She wanted to take everything from the Bartons and make sure her son received all of their assets. But if Larry were to inherit everything legally, then Chris would first have to die.Chris knew Jaqueline was cruel, but he never expected her to go that far. He was suddenly filled with hatred, and he clenched his fists so tightly that the blood in the needle started clogging up.After hearing his story, Giselle stopped asking about it. Instead, she just said, "Just deal with the police yourself

    After asking a few nurses, Giselle finally found out where Chris was staying. She then took the elevator to the seventh floor. But when it stopped on the fifth floor for someone else, she ran into Holly.The makeup on Holly's face still looked delicate, and she looked way better than before. Upon seeing Giselle, she was just as surprised. After recomposing herself, she asked, "Ms. Stone, what brings you to…"Holly was trying to get something out of Giselle as she trailed off. As for what she was trying to find out, she was the only one who knew.Giselle calmly looked at Holly for a moment before smirking. "Why I'm here at the hospital has nothing to do with you, right, Ms. Sharp?"It was just a casual response, but Holly found it upsetting. She stiffened for a couple of seconds.The elevator continued its ascent, and when they finally reached the seventh floor, she slowly said, "You don't have to be so hostile around me, Ms. Stone. I don't mean you any harm. If I've offended you i

    "Name?""Giselle Stone.""Why did you crash into the police station?"The question made Giselle hesitate a little. When the blonde policewoman looked at her, Giselle said, "If I tell you that I mistook the gas pedal for the brakes, would you believe me?"Giselle had planned to drive into the police station's gate all along. She didn't know who the people chasing after them were. If they were somehow related to the police, then she would be falling into a trap by going to the station. However, the same wouldn't apply if she damaged public property.After all, Chris would be the one paying for the damages and not her. As for Jonathan, he was just an unlucky man who couldn't blame her for anything.The police continued questioning Giselle a little while longer until Jackie and the rest showed up. Harry anxiously ran into the police station and grabbed her shoulders with both hands. "Giselle! I was worried sick! If something had happened to you, I would never forgive myself!"The da

    Giselle's phone was on silent, and when it started to vibrate, she was so focused on driving that she didn't realize what was happening. Jonathan quickly glanced at her and sneakily ended the call."The password is six sixes." Giselle suddenly remembered she hadn't given Jonathan the password to her phone. Upon hearing the current password, he was heartbroken. It felt as if a thousand needles were stabbing into his heart, and it was suffocating him.In the past, all of Giselle's passwords had something to do with him. It would either be his birthday or their anniversary. He also had free reign of her phone, allowed to look at it whenever he wanted. He could even log into any of her social media accounts. When it came to him, Giselle had nothing to hide whatsoever.However, she had already changed her password. When she'd done it previously, he'd thought she was being childish and would lecture her ceaselessly. Jonathan would tell her to grow up, saying that they were adults and that

    Jonathan would transfer an allowance to Giselle every month. Other than that, he also gave her a black card without a spending limit. But when they broke up, she'd returned everything to him. As it turned out, she never touched a single cent belonging to him.Presently, he was frustrated for a long while, wondering if Giselle was trying to scam some money out of him."If you don't want to pay, you can head back to your car. However, I should remind you that the option doesn't seem available anymore."He was left speechless when he heard that, thinking that her words made no difference. "A million dollars," he offered."Three million dollars," she answered.Jonathan's face fell. "Two million."With that, Giselle was satisfied, and she unlocked the doors. "Deal!"Meanwhile, Chris was at a loss for words while witnessing everything.After Jonathan got in the backseat, Giselle reluctantly gave him a friendly reminder for the sake of the promised two million dollars.
