Chapter 425

Chapter 425 "So what exactly is this woman's deal ? You said she's been toying with Zach's feelings. What is she after?" Sophia asked. Giselle laid it out simply. "She was first engaged to Zach's uncle, Donovan. But during the engagement banquet, a scandalous video of her overseas escapades surfaced. The Kane family canceled the marriage on the spot." Sophia blinked, stunned for a moment. "Wait. I remember that. I was with Zach then, and he mentioned his uncle's disastrous engagement . I had no idea the woman was her!" Giselle's lips curved into a knowing smile. "That's right.

After the broken engagement, she decided to get revenge by targeting Zach. She even drugged him and forced herself on him." "That's disgusting!" Sophia shot upright in outrage. "Are you saying this vile woman actually did that to him? She drugged him?" "What else did you expect?" Giselle gave a cold laugh. "She's no stranger to group scenes abroad. Her morals are nonexistent. If it gets her what she wants, she'll do anything. "You know I've always been nothing more than a friend to Zach. I know his character. But watching him fall into the hands of someone like her-I couldn't bear it.

And since you've always been the one who truly cared for him, I thought you deserved to know." ---- The more Sophia listened, the harder it was to stay composed. She clenched her teeth in frustration. "No wonder that day when I texted Zach, his reply was so cold. It was so unlike him. Turns out it was that bitch using his phone to answer me." "Exactly," Giselle said softly. Then she added, "Ms. Mitchell, may I ask you something blunt?" "What is it?" "Have you and Zach officially broken up?" Sophia went quiet for a long moment, her expression shadowed. "He did end things with me.

But we never truly cut contact . And honestly, after all these years, I can't love anyone else. Of all the girlfriends he's ever had, I loved him the most. He knows that too, deep down." "T understand ," Giselle said, leaning closer to comfort her. "' Don't worry. I'll help you." "You'll help me?" "Of course." A faint, meaningful smile touched Giselle's lips. "Compared to that woman's malice, your feelings for Zach are genuine. Naturally, I'd rather see the two of you find your way back together." Sophia studied her skeptically .

"And just how do you plan to ---- help me?" "T can give you everything I know-Anne's movement , her patterns, all of it. The rest will be up to you. After all, this is between you and Zach. It wouldn't be right for me to interfere too directly, would it?" "Really?" Sophia's eyes lit up with sudden energy. "You'd do that for me?" "Of course." Giselle lifted her glass, taking a measured sip of water. "I should have mentioned -I'm married to Donovan now. That makes Zach family to me. Naturally , I want what's best for him.

"So if you really want to get back together with Zach, I'll do everything I can to help. But right now, with Anne clinging to him like the troublemaker she is, I honestly don't know what todo." The revelation gave Sophia pause. Upon learning that Giselle had married into the Kane family, her tone shifted. Respect flickered in her gaze. "Don't worry. I won't let Anne trap Zachary." The thought of Anne's schemes made Sophia grind her teeth in hatred. "Good." Giselle smiled. "So, Ms. Mitchell, shall we be friends and stay in touch?" "Yes, Let's add each other on WhatsApp." "Perfect."
