Chapter 36
“Is there something you need from me, Mr. Shaw?” Giselle asked.
“There is, actually,” Hector replied honestly. “Remember I mentioned in my text yesterday that my friend’s friend is upset, and I asked you what my friend should do to make up for it?”
Giselle nodded.
“So, what should he do?” Hector was genuinely seeking advice.
He had no experience in this area, and he truly didn’t know why Julia Jameson was upset.
Whenever he asked, she denied it, but the tone of her replies had changed drastically. She was cold and distant, unlike her usual warm self, who would reply with emojis.
Hector couldn’t figure it out.
Could it be her time of the month? He recalled that Julia’s period should have ended a few days ago.
For the first time, the usually carefree Hector had trouble sleeping for several nights.
Giselle replied, “For something like this, you need to handle it based on the situation. Write down what happened and send it to
- me. If you can, include some background on both of you. I’ll send you a form shortly.”
Hector’s eyes widened in surprise when she asked for his background. He quickly explained, “Please don’t misunderstand, Ms.
Stone. It really is my friend-”
“Yeah, I know. It’s your friend’s problem.”
The amusement in Giselle’s eyes completely shattered Hector’s composure.
As expected, Chester wouldn’t be interested in a naive and clueless lady, Giselle was sharp, no doubt.

The infusion room was quiet except for Emma and a few other patients. The strong smell of disinfectant filled the air.
As Giselle sat beside her, she handed her a bottle of water.
Only when Emma didn’t reach for it right away did Giselle notice how pale she looked. “Ems, are you not feeling well?”

Giselle made to get up and find a doctor, but Emma stopped her. “I’m better now.”
“Why do you look so pale, then?” Giselle asked as she sat back down.
Emma sneered. “I just posted something on Instagram. Larry’s mom commented.”

She showed Giselle her Instagram post. It was a photo of herself getting an IV drip.
There was a single comment beneath it. “Ha! You barren woman! You’ll just end up unlucky without my son.”
Giselle frowned. “You should delete it. Don’t worry. Not everyone has a mother like that.”
Larry’s mother, Jaqueline Skinner, lacked manners.
Just then, Giselle recalled something. She had heard that Jaqueline had been a mistress to Larry’s father, Simon Barton.
It was only after Simon’s wife tragically passed away in a car accident that Jaqueline stepped into her role.
“When I married Larry, she was dead set against it. She looked down on me like I was nothing. Does she think her son was some treasure? With Chris in the Barton family, Larry’s just a nobody!”
Chris Barton was Larry’s elder brother.
Emma’s anger flared up again as she spoke.
By her standards, Larry didn’t even come close to her ideal partner. However, his unwavering passion was hard to ignore.
Despite being turned down dozens of times, he kept treating her with care. Over time, she relented.

Who could have predicted it would turn out like this?
Giselle tried to comfort her. After a while, Emma’s anger began to subside.
Emma blocked everyone from the Barton family on all platforms, keeping only Larry’s account and contact information. “I
haven’t gotten the divorce certificate yet. I’ll remove him once I do,”
Giselle nodded in understanding.

Those words warmed Emma’s heart.
20 minutes later, both women exited the hospital together. Giselle told Emma to wait where she was while she went to get the car.
The car was parked in the parking lot behind the hospital. As Giselle unlocked the car, a deep, pleasant voice suddenly called out,
“Ms. Stone.”
