Chapter 170

---- Chapter 170 "Who is it?" Giselle asked. "Uncle Ethan," Gideon said, telling her the truth. "I've been bugging him every day for a week now to do something about it, and he finally couldn't take it anymore. He told the police what had happened, but since he had to also take into consideration that Donovan didn't agree to it, he could only post bail. No matter what it is, as long as you're out of there, that's all that matters." Giselle fell into silence after she heard what he said.

So it seemed like everyone else in the world was kinder to her than a certain man, the same man she poured out her heart and soul for, only for him to want to see her dead. Gideon noticed that she had gone silent and seemed a little unhappy. He inched closer to her and comforted her, "Don't worry. As long as I continue to put in a good word for you to Uncle Ethan, Donovan will have to drop the case sooner or later. I won't let you end up in prison." Giselle could only smile bitterly in return.

"It's fine. No matter what it is, I really want to thank you very much." "Stop thanking me. It's annoying." Gideon retorted and changed the topic. "Oh, by the way, come eat at my house later." "No need. You can just get the driver to drop me at the area of ---- my house." "Your dog is still with me," Gideon added, "While you were in there, I brought your 'son' over to my house to keep Chipper company.

They eat and sleep together, and he's gained a few pounds now." Giselle was a little touched to hear him say that. She didn't expect Gideon to pay attention to everything she cared for and for him to solve her issues in the most relatable way. Giselle, of course, followed Gideon back to his house. It was a lakeside villa, which cost billions, surrounded by beautiful scenery overlooking the mountains and the lake. 'The air was crisp and clean.

Since he was living alone, this was merely a two-story house, but he had a few domestic workers working for him there, like drivers, helpers, and stewards serving him. When Giselle arrived at his living room, she couldn't wait to be reunited with Eastin. She noticed that Eastin was very well taken care of. Eastin was just a peasant dog, but the days he had spent in Gideon's house gave him a taste of what it would feel like to live like royalty.

Not long after, the helpers brought a pre-prepared feast and served it all up. Gideon invited her to sit with him at the dining table. They were the only two people eating, but the dining table was filled to the brim with all sorts of food. There were air- ---- flown seafood and many other exotic, exquisite dishes she had never seen before.

After half a month in the lockup where measly food was all she had, as she sat by the table and bathed in the aroma of the delicacies before her, she felt her appetite grow. She was worried that this was just a dream for her, and when she woke up, she would still be stuck in that musky-smelling dorm. "All your favorites, prepared to welcome you back to freedom, " Gideon declared as he took an escargot, fished out its delicate flesh, and placed it on Giselle's plate as he doted on her.
