Chapter 19

Chapter 19 The moment Giselle reached home , she plopped down on the bed , utterly drained . Her skull felt like it was about to crack open . At this point , she had no idea when her veterinary clinic could resume normal operations . Apart from dealing with the clinic's tarnished reputation , staff turnover , and premise shutdown , she still had to handle the court case and compensation . She'd also suffered injuries after being beaten up by Sebastian .

Aside from some superficial wounds , some of her organs were affected as well . She had no choice but to end up being hospitalized for a few days . Yet , she didn't call the police , The Holt family owed her too much - Rebecca's life , her grandparents ' lives , and the Moore family's business empire .

She had to force herself to calm down and figure out what she should do in the long run … Giselle used to dream of cutting ties with her twisted family , each going their separate ways and never interfering with each other again . But now , backed into a corner with old grudges and fresh wounds weighing on her , she felt a burning need for revenge like never before .

One thing she was certain about was that the marriage alliance between Anne and Donovan was what the Holt family valued most right now . With branches worldwide and tens of thousands of employees , Kane Pharmaceutical Group was a pioneer in the industry . Beyond core pharmaceutical R & D , production , and sales , their empire also extended into medical devices , real estate , finance - almost every field . Their brand alone was worth over 100 billion dollars .

Needless to say , Renee and Tony had been looking forward to joining forces with such a powerful family . So , to truly destroy the Holts , Giselle had to go through that man . Just that thought alone filled her with a newfound purpose . Two weeks flew by . Having mostly recovered , Giselle was back to her prime condition . This morning , she cleaned and washed herself thoroughly . She spent nearly two hours on her makeup and outfit .

Standing before the full - length mirror , she barely recognized herself . The woman in the mirror wore a black bodycon dress with spaghetti straps , perfectly outlining her firm and curvy figure . From her graceful shoulders to her slim waist and long legs - everything about her screamed allure . Not to mention her stunning face - striking features with bold makeup that made her breathtakingly beautiful .

Her eyes were especially mesmerizing , seductive with a hint of vulnerability that could make anyone's heart skip a beat . Tiiting her head , she put on a pair of pearl earrings and admired her reflection , a cold smirk playing on her lips . Once ready , she took a pack of condoms from her drawer and tossed it into her bag . Slipping on three - inch heels , she grabbed her purse and strutted out . In the car , Giselle entered the address for Kane Pharmaceutical Group headquarters into the GPS .
