Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 14

It was Renee and Anne.

Giselle barely looked up. "What do you want?"

Clutching a Hermès bag worth millions, Renee stepped forward with the confidence of a seasoned businesswoman. "You know exactly why I'm here, you bitch!"

"Sorry, but I couldn't care less about the Holts' trashy drama. Get to the point. I'm not in the mood for games."

Renee swallowed her anger. "Anne told me you went to Donovan's private villa the other day. Care to explain what you were doing there?"

"Seducing him, obviously. What else? Your future son-in-law is rich, hot, and top-tier. He's every woman's dream."

Renee took a deep breath, her jaw tight as she hissed, "You bitch. All these years, you've pushed me again and again. I let it slide because I thought you were just throwing childish tantrums, and I felt sorry for you for losing your mom so young.

"But now, you're scheming against Anne's future happiness? I'll make sure you learn how to be a decent person!"

The mention of Rebecca struck a nerve, piercing Giselle's usual composure.

"Oh, really?" she shot back, her voice thick with scorn. "You nasty old hag. 20 years ago, you slept with your own sister's husband just to climb your way up. So, tell me—how is it unfair if I follow your example 20 years later and steal my 'sister's' fiancé?"

"How dare you!"

Renee's face turned pale. Her anger was caught in her throat, leaving her completely speechless.

Anne stepped in to back her up. "Giselle, no one can beat you when it comes to trash talk. Mom and I didn't come here to start a fight.

"We just came to let you know that your rebellious, psycho routine might work in your low-rent crowd, but if you're dumb enough to mess with the Kanes, crossing that line, then you'll be the one paying the price. So watch yourself!"

Giselle snorted at the threat and fired back, "Oh, Anne, so a few flirty winks at him and you're already this rattled? You even dragged yourself over here to threaten me. Doesn't exactly scream confidence in whatever you and Donovan have, does it?"
