Chapter 309

---- Chapter 309 In an amnoyed tone, Giselle continued, "When you hit him with a chair at the chairman's office back then, Gideon chose to let the matter go. Why would you go and physically attack him today? You're no different than that deranged dog at the clinic earlier." Donovan's expression darkened even further. He gripped the steering wheel and continued to put up with her insults. Instead of reacting to her comments, he sped up the car. He just wanted to get her to the hospital as soon as possible. "T told you that my relationship with him is none of your business.

We're allowed to handle it as we see fit. You have no right to meddle in our affairs," she said. She added, "Physically assaulting him only makes you look more incompetent and uncouth!" Upon hearing this, Donovan couldn't help but scoff. He gritted his teeth and couldn't help but drive even faster. The more he stayed quiet, the more resentful Giselle felt. She turned to look at him and asked, "Let me ask you a question. Did you contact Gideon's ex-girlfriend on purpose?" Donovan looked even more displeased now. Yet, he still continued to keep his anger in check.

While he was trying to suppress his feelings, he asked in a low voice, "It sounds like you care about that pretty boy a lot. Do ---- you feel resentful because you didn't manage to marry him in the end?" Overwhelmed by everything that was going on, Giselle couldn't help but recall the hurt he'd caused her in the past. She was feeling even more conflicted than she did before. So, she scoffed and started to say things out of spite. "You're right. I do care about him. If it wasn't for your dirty tricks, I wouldn't have found out about what happened in the past.

We would've already been married by now." Donavan's breathing began to quicken. His gaze turned cold, and his head began to spin. Despite how he felt, he didn't get into a fight with Giselle and continued to keep his anger in check. However, the more he tried to suppress his emotions, the worse he felt. The worse he felt, the harder he pressed on the gas pedal. It felt as though speeding up was the only way he could alleviate the pain and discomfort he was experiencing. Soon, the car pulled into a narrow and secluded road with no streetlights.

The road was only faintly lit by the lights from the buildings next to it, but Donovan didn't slow down at all. He kept replaying past events in his head. After being provoked by Giselle's words, he was now beginning to spiral. His mind felt hazy, and his mood started to worsen. ---- Giselle wanted to get some shut-eye, but she noticed that Donovan was driving relatively fast. On top of that, he kept braking erratically as well. "Slow down. There are quite a few potholes on this road," she reminded him in an irritated manner. He looked like he couldn't hear her at all.

He felt numb, dazed and distracted. Just as they were about to exit the secluded road, she caught sight of a huge truck that was parked at the side of the road up ahead. Panicking, she yelled, "Look out!" The driver didn't place a warning triangle behind the truck, and the vehicle didn't have any reflective strips on its rear either. This made it difficult to spot on such a dimly lit road. By the time Donovan returned to his senses, he no longer had any time to brake. In the nick of time, he swerved the vehicle to the right.

After a deafening bang, the car shook violently as the driver's side collided heavily with the rear end of the truck. Giselle's heart was pounding. She felt dazed and battered. On top of that, her mind even went blank for a couple of seconds. It took a couple of moments for her to finally regain her senses. The seatbelt that was pressing against her chest made her feel slightly uncomfortable. But aside from that, she realized that she wasn't injured at all. She hastily checked on Donovan in the driver's seat.
