"Who is it?"
"He appears to be in his 40s or 50s. He wears glasses and looks pretty stern. He gives off the air of some big boss," the store manager described.
Giselle set down the cat she was about to give an injection to and walked out. To her surprise, it was Ethan.
"Hello, Mr. Kane," she greeted him halfheartedly. "What brings you to my humble shop?"
Ethan glanced at a nearby lounge and said in a low voice, "Let's talk over there."
"Alright." Giselle had one of the staff bring Ethan coffee. She went to wash her hands before joining him in the lounge.
"Let's hear what you have to say, Mr. Kane. You're obviously busier than I am, so if you've come all the way here, it must be for something important."
Ethan took a sip of his coffee and paused for a moment before responding coldly, "I think you know very well why I'm here."
"Sorry, but I really don't."
He gazed at her for a while before continuing, "Ms. Holt, because of you, my son was seriously injured. Donovan's work and personal life have also been severely affected. On top of that, his grandmother has recently fallen ill.
"The entire household is in disarray. Out of respect for your father, I had planned to let things slide, as long as you stayed away from Don. But I never imagined you'd turn around and start getting involved with my other adopted son.
"Tell me, what exactly are you playing at?" His eyes were cold and full of contempt as he looked at her.
