Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 123

"What is it?" Giselle grumbled after reluctantly picking up Tony's call.

"Come back to the Holt residence now. I have something important to ask you," he replied.

"I'm not coming! I'm busy."

Without saying another word, she hung up.

Ever since a month ago, she'd decided never to set foot in the Holt household again. The last thing she wanted was to get in a fight with the Holts again, and she just wanted to live her quiet, little life in peace.

After hanging up, she turned off her phone so as not to let them disturb her, then turned back to sleep. She hadn't slept so soundly in a long time, and she didn't wake up until noon when her dog started barking furiously.

Still groggy, she got up and patted the dog's head. Only then did she hear someone rapping at her door with a rather rough urgency.

Assuming it was some maintenance worker, she changed out of her pajamas and threw on some casual clothes. She padded toward the door, still rubbing her eyes as she opened the door without much thought.

She was stunned.

Standing outside was a whole group of people—Tony, Renee, and Anne, along with Dorothea and Ethan.

"What are you all doing here?" Giselle asked, bewildered.

They were all elites who lived in sprawling villas. What on earth had brought them to her cramped little apartment?

Tony shot Giselle a cold glare, then took it upon himself to usher Dorothea inside. The others followed without the slightest courtesy, completely ignoring the fact that Giselle was the owner of this home.

"Let's just get straight to the point," Dorothea said curtly, her tone dripping with impatience.

She swerved toward Giselle and began barking orders. "Go to the police station right now and drop the charges! What nonsense is this? Rape? Just say how much money you want. Stop causing trouble and tarnishing our family's reputation!"
