Chapter 378

---- Chapter 378 After tidying up, the two of them left together. The family driver was behind the wheel this time. They settled into the back of the Rolls-Royce, sitting close to each other as they began the drive to Kane Manor. Donovan's private villa not far from Kane Manor. It was just several miles away, so they arrived quickly. When the car stopped , Adrian immediately opened the rear door, smiling warmly as he welcomed them out. Giselle naturally looped her arm through Donovan's, confidently following him inside.

Although she had visited Kane Manor several times before, this was her first time coming as a Kane family daughter -in- law. She didn't feel as at ease as she had before. In the living room, Ethan, Grace, and Dorothea were sitting on the sofa. Two elderly women, who were likely family friends or relatives, were chatting with Dorothea. When Giselle and Donovan appeared, everyone turned to look at them. All eyes were on Giselle, and her completely transformed, breathtaking beauty left many of them momentarily speechless.

Even the critical Dorothea couldn't help but admit to herself that Giselle's appearance was striking. ---- With her face, figure, and presence, she outshone even major celebrities . She truly deserved to represent the Kane family and looked perfectly matched with Donovan. Yet, the memory of her past actions ruined that impression. Giselle had long prepared herself mentally. She politely stepped forward first. "Mrs. Kane, hello." Dorothea didn't scold her this time. She simply gave her a disgusted look. Giselle forced a smile and turned to greet Ethan and Grace.

" Ethan, Grace-" "Enough ," Ethan cut in, unable to hide his awkwardness . " Just call me 'Mr. Kane' like you used to, That sounds better." Ethan was about Tony's age and usually called Tony a brother. Now, with Tony's daughter marrying into the family, she had become his "sister-in-law". Though there was no blood relation, the social hierarchy felt awkward. What mattered most was that Ethan had always despised Giselle's scheming nature. She had hurt Zachary, then entangled herself with Gideon, and now she was set on marrying Donovan.

To anyone else, she would have been completely unacceptable , and the only reason she was still standing here was because Ethan had already stretched his tolerance to the breaking point. "Don, what do you mean by this?" Grace questioned sharply. " Today is Thanksgiving. Why would you bring this woman home? Are you trying to cause trouble? ---- "Each of us has our own work, and we're usually so busy that it's hard to find time together. Finally, we have a day to share a family dinner, and you want to ruin it?

You might not care about us, but shouldn't you at least consider Mom?" Donovan ignored her outburst. He pulled Giselle close in front of him. "She's part of the Kane family now. What's the problem with her coming home with me?" Grace refused to back down. "Of course there's a problem, and a big one! The Kane family is not some ordinary household . "Anyone who marries into this family must be accepted by all of us, especially with Mom's approval. Only then can she truly be considered part of the family.

Do you really think you can just marry some woman and bring her here without asking anyone?" "Are you saying she isn't welcome here?"
