Chapter 125

---- Chapter 125 A heavy sigh escaped Tony's lips. Resigned, he glared at her for a moment and stopped pestering her about Donovan's case, He took out his phone and tapped around for a bit. "Tjust transferred you two million dollars," he said in a low voice, "It'll hit your account soon." Giselle gave a small snort. Only now did she vaguely remember that he was, after all, still her father. "Stop going against the Kane family," Tony warned, his expression dark.

"I won't comment on your affair with Donovan-I don't have the time or patience. But you shouldn't have made a scene at the police station. "If things escalate, where does that leave the Kane family? Go withdraw the case now!" "You don't know a thing about the law, do you?" Giselle snapped. "Rape cases are criminal prosecutions-I can't withdraw them! "And the Kane family has plenty of ways to pull strings, anyway. He'll be out in just a few days.

Why are you so anxious?" Seeing she wouldn't budge, Tony didn't bother arguing. "Suit yourself. But if you really offend the Kane family, even Twon't be able to save you." ---- With that, he left. As the hospital's deputy director and a neurosurgeon , he was always swamped with work. He'd only made time today for Dorothea's sake. Normally, he wouldn't bother with this kind of crap. The living room finally went quiet again.

Giselle slumped on the couch, absently stroking the dog's head beside her. Her mind was a mess, far from the composure she thought she'd have. Her mind wandered back to when Donovan forced himself on her last night. She'd considered taking an emergency contraceptive pill, but remembering the doctor had said that she'd likely never conceive again, she decided there was no point. She closed her eyes-a heavy fog pressed down on her chest, each breath a struggle. 'Two days passed.

Giselle couldn't care less about Donovan's case, and the Kanes had stopped harassing her on the phone. But she did receive a call from an unfamiliar number. The caller claimed to be from an insurance company and asked if she was the owner of a certain license plate. "Yes, What is this about?" she asked, feigning ignorance. "Well," the voice said. ''On the 13th, you deliberately rammed ---- Mr. Grayson's car and caused severe damage.

The police determined you were fully at fault and issued penalties, correct ? The car has now been assessed . Please come to the repair shop to verify the report and pay for the repairs on-site. Giselle had known this was coming, so she wasn't surprised . "How much are the repairs?" she asked. There was a brief pause, then a polite reply came through. "245,300 dollars in total." "What?" she gasped. "Are you sure this is in dollars?" The person on the other end of the line chuckled. "Absolutely.

If you have any doubts, please come to the shop as soon as possible. Mr. Grayson will also be there to go over every detail with you, and we can resolve any questions on-site."
