Chapter 409

---- Chapter 409 "That's enough," Ethan said coolly. "Ms. Moore is technically your family too. Since we're all considered family, let's not make things awkward between us. Stop wasting your breath and just do as I say." Giselle was somewhat speechless, but there was no way she'd actually do as he said. After all, she was trying to go up against Renee, and this was only the beginning. If she were to give up so easily, the latter would become even more brazen and arrogant. "alright, I'll think about it when head back." She didn't want to engage in pointless arguments with him.

So, after agreeing to his request with an ambiguous smile, she turned to leave. "Wait," he called after her again. "I actually wanted to talk to you about something else." "What?" She felt slightly confused. He flashed her a cold look. Then, after hesitating for a while, he said, "It's Gideon." "Oh." Her heart sank. "Did something happen to him?" "Shouldn't you know that better than everyone else?" Ethan spat. ---- With a grim expression, he sighed and continued, "He travelled overseas recently and I haven't been able to get in touch with him.

Did he contact you by any chance?" "No, he didn't," Giselle answered as she grew slightly anxious. "Did you get someone to search for him? What if something happened to him? I haven't heard from him in weeks." Ethan didn't seem concerned about Gideon's safety. "He's a grown man. He'll be able to take care of himself. I just hope you can contact him and talk to him to see how he's doing." upon She had no choice but to tell him the truth. "Gideon blocked my number ages ago. I can't contact him even if I wanted to. You're the person closest to him.

You should be more concerned about his safety." Upon thinking about what happened at the villa the other day, Giselle felt incredibly worried. She was afraid that Gideon would distance himself from others and do something rash. After a few moments of silence, he said solemnly, "Ever since you and Don got married , Gideon hasn't been the same. He wouldn't pull himself together no matter what I did. "At first, he partied and drowned himself in alcohol. Recently, he started isolating himself instead. To put it simply, he's just amess." ---- She felt her chest tighten.

"You can't fix a broken heart with reason." Ethan sighed as he turned to Giselle. "You rushed into your current marriage without resolving things with him first. Because of that, he's been stuck in a downward spiral ever since." He added, "Now, it'd be best if you were to personally help him get closure for what happened." The more she listened to him, the heavier her heart grew. "I'm sorry. I don't think I'll be able to help you with that," she replied. "You said it yourself-Gideon is a grown man. He should be responsible for his own life.

At the end of the day, everyone is living for themselves." She continued, "I can't be his salvation. He'll be able to move past this once he's had enough time to process everything ." "What the hell are you talking about?" Ethan snapped. Suddenly feeling enraged, he pointed at her face and yelled, " You're the reason we're in this mess in the first place! All you do is ruin the life of my family members. Are you trying to wash your hands of this entire fiasco now?

"If you didn't insist on marrying Gideon and meddling in his life, he wouldn't have turned out this way!" Giselle didn't feel like defending herself. Instead, she nodded and replied, "I never said I wasn't at fault for what happened. However, now that I'm a married woman, the most responsible thing for me to do is to avoid contacting him. I'm ---- sure you know this better than I do, Mr. Kane." Ethan was at a loss for words. However, when he thought about how hopeless Gideon's situation looked , he couldn't help but feel lost and anxious. He prioritized Gideon's feelings over everything else.
