Chapter 57


    Gisele hurriedly supported Angle and said, “Thank you for driving me here, Mr. Murray. Since


    Angle isn’t feeling well, I’m afraid I can’t invite you in for some tea. I’ll make it up to you another


    time. See youter!”


    “Sounds good, I’ll be in touch then!” Bernard said as he bid farewell to her.


    Gisele anxiously brought Angle back to the apartment. As she was about to perform acupuncture


    on her, Angie, whose body had been stiff with tension, suddenly rxed.


    Besides that, her goosebumps also subsided.

    “You… Gisele was so taken aback that she couldn’t utter another word.


    Angie would break out in goosebumps whenever she thought of Bernard. She shook her head and


    told Gisele, “I’m fine. Let’s just check out our online store first!”


    As soon as she mentioned the store, both of them hurriedly walked toward theptop.


    “Sunshine Apothecary” was co–founded by Gisele and Angie before Gisele got married. Angie


    handled most of the day–to–day operations, while Gisele primarily supplied pre–made herbal


    sachets, incense, herbal tea, and other finished products as needed. They would also asionally


    ept custom orders


    as well.


    They would offer personalized prescriptions for customers who required specialized treatment.


    For instance, if a customer couldn’t handle the bitterness of herbal medicine, Gisele would refine


    the


    herbal tablets into sugar–coated ones. These tablets, which retained their effectiveness, were well-


    received by many customers.


    At that moment, the screen showed the store’s backend which was hacked. The products were


    deliberately set at a ridiculously low price range by the hacker.


    Gisele sat before theptop and tried to undo the hack. However, she realized that her efforts were


    futile.


    With no other options, Gisele took out anotherptop. After that, she quickly typed away on the


    keyboard. In a short while, the screen went dark and disyed a string of codes.


    Gisele scowled and fixed her gaze on the screen. She was only a novice inputer coding and


    didn’t have a particrly deep understanding of it.


    As line after line of codes continued to pour in, Gisele kept a close eye on theptop screen beside


    her.


    She knew that the other party was manipting their system remotely.


    She knew that as long as she could disable the remote ess and reset the store’s password, it


    would not be so easy for the other party to control it again.


    After half an hour, Gisele finished typing thest line of code and took back control of the store from


    the other party. She was just about to file aint when the page suddenly refreshed and


    disyed the message, “This store has been closed.”


    “What the hell?” Gisele said in a panic as she quickly logged into the store’s backend.

    It turned out they had been banned by the online shopping tform they’re on. They imed that


    Gisele and Angie were engaged in fraudulent activities. Moreover, they had also frozen tens of


    thousands of dors in their online store’s ount.


    Angle’s eyes immediately welled up with tears. She bent down and carefully examined the content


    on the screen. “They actually forcefully closed our store? What exactly are those people aiming


    for?”


    They had been diligently running this store, and every month they would donate a third of their


    profits to nursing homes, orphanages, and other charitable organizations. The remaining two–thirds


    would be split evenly between the two of them.


    Gisele, who was sitting tiredly on the chair, suddenly recalled what she had said in front of the stall


    in the afternoon. Had Dorian overheard her and deliberately shut down her store?


    However, if that was indeed the case, then why did he not simply arrange for someone to shut it


    down. directly? Why did he allow her to believe that she still had a chance to fight back against the


    other party?


    Gisele soon realized what was going on. Dorian was telling her that no matter how hard she tried, it


    would all be for naught if he so desired.


    Gisele turned to Angle and said, “It’s all my fault, Angie. Our store was forcefully closed down


    because of


    me.”


    Angle was just about to console Gisele when her phone started to ring.


    “I’ll answer the call first.”


    Angie walked to the balcony to take the call. “Hey, Dad?”


    Gisele’s face turned grim as she considered how to go about negotiating with Dorian. Since her


    online. store didn’t affect Sierra’s business in any way, why couldn’t she continue operating it?


    While Gisele was lost in thought, Angie suddenly cried out, “Why should I? I’m not going! You can


    go by


    yourself!”


    After saying that, she angrily hurled her phone to the ground.


    Hearing the loud thud of Angie’s phone hitting the floor, Gisele immediately came to her senses,


    stood up, and walked over. “What’s the matter, Angie?”
