Chapter 206

---- Chapter 206 "So it's Mr. Kane," Giselle said coolly over the phone. "Here's the thing. I'm getting married soon. My fiance needed funds for an investment, so I gave the money to him." Her casual tone made Donovan's expression darken until it was as black as thunder. He forced his voice low, trying to leash the fury in his chest. " What the hell is that supposed to mean? I gave you that settlement, and you handed it over to another man?" Giselle was silent for a few seconds before letting out a cold laugh. "Donovan, you're ridiculous.

You transferred that money into my name, and you said it was a gift. That means I can spend it however I want, on whomever I want. Exactly what right do you have to interfere?" Without waiting for him to respond, she hung up. Donovan's rage boiled over. He hurled his phone hard at the floor. It didn't break, but it bounced toward the doorway, striking the foot of someone coming in. It was Ethan. Seeing Donovan in such a state, Ethan looked on in puzzlement. He bent to pick up the phone and walked over to the bed. "What's wrong, Don?

Blowing up at one of your ---- executives again?" Donovan hadn't planned to speak, but the moment he saw Ethan, his anger erupted. "That bastard you took in, why don't you keep him ona leash?" Ethan froze for a moment, recognizing the jab at Gideon, and sighed. "So you know already?" Ethan said, clearly reluctant to continue. "I came here to tell you about it and get your opinion." "What exactly are you saying?" "That ungrateful brat I raised came to mea few days ago, saying he wanted to marry Giselle. I cursed him out and told him no. But he kept pestering me, and I got tired of it.

So I thought I'd ask you, if you don't object, I might just let him go through with it." Hearing that, Donovan shut his eyes with contempt. "If you really care about me, cut ties with him." Ethan let out another long sigh. "Don, I can't go that far. I've raised him for years like my own son. We've built a bond. He's young, headstrong, and of course, he'll act rashly over a woman. "I get that you're angry. I've tried to stop him. But that Giselle is trouble-scheming and promiscuous. She wrecked you and Zach, and now she's latched onto Gideon. It infuriates me too, ---- but what can I do?

Tony can't control her. Am I supposed to have her killed? I don't have time to waste on her. I came here to advise you- "If Gideon really does end up with Giselle and marries her, I hope you'll put the bigger picture first. Don't clash with him. If it blows up publicly, we'll be a laughingstock, and worse, it could hurt our stock value." "Get out." Donovan couldn't bear to hear another word about those two. Any more and he might actually kill someone. "Alright. Have some rest." Seeing how volatile he was, Ethan dared not push further and left.

But only a few minutes later, when Donovan opened his eyes again, he sawa tall, broad-shouldered young man standing in the doorway. It was Zachary.
