Chapter 153

---- Chapter 153 "Who is it?" "He appears to be in his 40s or 50s. He wears glasses and looks pretty stern. He gives off the air of some big boss," the store manager described. Giselle set down the cat she was about to give an injection to and walked out. To her surprise, it was Ethan. "Hello, Mr. Kane," she greeted him halfheartedly.

"What brings you to my humble shop?" Ethan glanced at a nearby lounge and said in a low voice, " Let's talk over there." "Alright." Giselle had one of the staff bring Ethan coffee. She went to wash her hands before joining him in the lounge. "Let's hear what you have to say, Mr. Kane.

You're obviously busier than I am, so if you've come all the way here, it must be for something important." Ethan took a sip of his coffee and paused for a moment before responding coldly, "I think you know very well why I'm here." "Sorry, but I really don't." He gazed at her for a while before continuing, "Ms. Holt, because of you, my son was seriously injured. Donovan's work ---- and personal life have also been severely affected. On top of that, his grandmother has recently fallen ill.

"The entire household is in disarray . Out of respect for your father, Ihad planned to let things slide, as long as you stayed away from Don. But I never imagined you'd turn around and start getting involved with my other adopted son. "Tell me, what exactly are you playing at?" His eyes were cold and full of contempt as he looked at her. Giselle had clearly expected him to question her, so she wasn't the least bit intimidated by the middle-aged man's authority.

"I'd appreciate it if you chose your words more carefully , Mr. Kane. You're the chairman of a publicly listed company , for crying out loud. Since when did you start talking and acting like some gossiping housewife?" she huffed. Ethan's brows furrowed. Giselle added, "Since you've come all the way here to question me, I'll tell you the truth. Mr. Grayson and I met by chance on the street. "We happened to share some common interests , get along well, and are just friends.

There's nothing going on between us." "Cut the crap! You're both adults. You know exactly how he feels about you. I'm here to warn you to control yourself. Don't start having thoughts you shouldn't have!" Ethan ---- threatened. "I won't comment on your messy history with Donovan, Ms. Holt, but Gideon is where I draw the line.

If you pull the same tricks on him that you once used on Zach, I won't turn a blind eye and let you get away with it!" With that, he slammed his fist on the table and stormed away before she could respond. Giselle sat alone in the lounge, zoning out for a while. She used to think Ethan was laid-back and easygoing . After all, he spent all his time at work and never involved himself in their family's drama. He was, for the most part, tolerant toward an outsider like her.
