Chapter 220

---- Chapter 220 When Gideon arrived at Donovan's villa, the steward told him that Donovan wasn't home but was at the company. He sped off again, heading straight for the headquarters of Kane Pharmaceutical Group. After parking and taking the elevator up, he had just reached the CEO's office when he saw Donovan coming in through the door. He was probably just back from a meeting. Without a word, Gideon opened the door and strode in. Hearing the sound of the door, Donovan turned around. His expression stiffened.

"Ym not here to fight with you today." Gideon walked right up to him and got straight to the point. "I just want to confirm something. Did Giselle come to see you last night? "Tell me, where is she now?" His questions grated on Donovan's nerves. "Get out. Don't come to bother me again." He turned away, ready to get back to work. "Damn it! Just tell me," Gideon gritted out, grabbing Donovan by the collar. "I've been trying to reach her since last night and can't get through. I'm worried that something has happened to her.

Just tell me the truth-if you can confirm she's safe, I'll leave ---- immediately." No one else in the world had ever dared grab Donovan by the collar like this. He glowered at Gideon, looking as if someone had punched the living daylights out of him. "Let go." "Say something!" Gideon didn't let go. He only became more aggressive. Donovan's patience snapped. Clenching his fist, he drove it hard into Gideon's face. Gideon staggered back a few steps. Blood spilled from his nose, a metallic taste filling his mouth.

It hurt, but he only gritted his teeth and wiped the blood away with the back of his hand. "| really don't have time to spar with you today." But Gideon refused to back down. "Whether she came to you or you used some dirty trick to hide her away, just tell me she's safe. That's all | need to know." Donovan didn't take a word of it to heart. To him, Gideon had already slept with Giselle and was about to marry her. His limit was never to cross paths with him again. If Gideon dared to confront and provoke him again, there was no telling how impulsive he might become.

The self-control he prided himself on had already crumbled when it came to Giselle. "You have one minute to get out of my office," Donovan said ---- through gritted teeth, his back facing him. "If you're still here after that, you'll be thrown out. Get out!" He immediately called the head of security, instructing him to bring a few guards to his office because someone was causing trouble. Faced with Donovan's cold, violent attitude, Gideon quickly sensed that Giselle's disappearance probably had nothing to do with him.

Not wanting to waste more time, he turned to leave, battered and disheveled. But just as he reached the door, it swung open. It was Anne. Gideon didn't even register her presence. He was just about to walk past her when he suddenly remembered the grudge between her and Giselle. At once, he doubled back and grabbed her arm. Anne was startled. "W-What are you doing?" "Did you send someone to hurt Giselle?" he hissed, leaning toward her face. "| have no idea what you're talking about. Let go of me! You're crazy!" Anne yelped, struggling hard to pull away while looking toward Donovan for help.

"Don, call the police and get this lunatic away from me!" she shouted. "I'm carrying your child, and yet this man dares to put his hands on me. He's disgusting!" Gideon tightened his grip on her arm, his expression fierce. "Tell ---- me the truth right now. Did you go after Giselle again? Did you send someone to kidnap her? Speak!"
