Chapter 225

---- Chapter 225 "Shouldn't the police be handling this? Let them deal with it! What else can I do? That kid's been mixed up with shady people for years -I can't keep track of all that. Just call the police!" After all, Giselle was the one who had been kidnapped -not Gideon. Of course, there was nothing for Ethan to be particularly worried about. He was just slightly surprised. Seeing Donovan's dark expression, he tried to persuade him. " Since you've already cut ties with that woman, why get involved again? Leave it all to the police.

"Besides, you should remember who you are and where you stand. Don't get dragged into the underworld's affairs-it won't do us any good." Kane Group dabbled in pharmaceuticals, with strong connections to the government. They were a proper and legitimate business, and maintaining their brand image mattered to Ethan. Once tainted by criminal associations, their reputation would inevitably suffer. Donovan couldn't care less about commenting on Ethan's indifference. "Your adopted son is about to throw himself to the wolves.

If you don't want him dead, figure out a way yourself," he said, ---- leaving to get the kidnappers' contact from Gideon. That finally struck a nerve in Ethan. "What do you mean? He's actually planning something so foolish?" He pulled out his phone to call the police, but Donovan snatched it away at once. "Don't alert them yet. This is far more complicated than you think." Ethan hadn't wanted to get involved, but now he was concerned about Gideon's safety. He called Gideon right after, but Gideon didn't pick up, no matter how many times he rang. "T'll go find Gideon now," he said grimly.

The more he thought about it, the more serious it seemed. He hurried out of Donovan's office. Left alone on the couch, Donovan was crushed by the thought of Giselle suffering. The thought swallowed him like a black hole, suffocating him. He didn't even dare let his mind linger on this thought for too long. The moment he imagined the consequences of Giselle's predicament, his chest felt tight. Brooding in the office wouldn't help either. Realizing the key to solving this was still with Gideon, he grabbed his keys and got up to leave.

---- But as soon as he opened the door, he found Anne standing outside. "Why are you still here?" "D-Don, I'm also worried about Giselle. She's my sister, after all," Anne said. "Now that she's been kidnapped , I'm really worried about her safety. Even if we've had our differences, I don't want anything bad to happen to her." "Leave." He cut her off, his voice dripping with irritation." Don't add to the chaos. This has nothing to do with you, so stay away. And don't spread a word about this." Anne nodded. "I understand.

I also hope you won't worry yourself too much, especially not risk yourself for her. After all, I'm pregnant with-" Before she could finish , Donovan strode off, his expression cold. As she watched his tall frame disappear into the distance, her lips curled into a cold sneer. An hour later, Donovan drove to Gideon's private villa on the outskirts of the city's south side. He stepped into the living room and saw Ethan, who had just arrived as well, locked in a heated argument with Gideon. ---- "Listen, I won't allow it!

You're not going anywhere!" Like a stern father , Ethan barked, "Either call the police or pretend nothing happened and keep on as usual! If you're set ona suicide mission, I'll have people tie you up right now!"
