Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 18

After lashing out at Giselle, Anne dashed after Donovan.

Tonight, the Holt family was supposed to meet with the Kane family to finalize the wedding details. But looking at how things had escalated, Renee was furious.

Having just had a narrow escape from death, Giselle was still slumped on the floor, too weak to stand.

Yet, Renee wasn't even the slightest bit guilty.

"You bitch! You really know when to make a scene, huh?" she hissed. "Listen. If this affects my daughter's marriage, you'll be very sorry!"

"Enough!" Tony couldn't bear it anymore. He swerved toward Renee and bellowed, "Can't you see she's injured? Can you just shut up for a second?"

He was Giselle's father, after all. While he had always disapproved of her rebellious behavior, he still felt bad for what she had gone through earlier.

"Come on. Let's get you inside," he urged. "I'll treat your injuries."

As a neurosurgeon, Tony had a fully equipped infirmary at home, and the family usually dealt with minor illnesses or injuries in-house.

But just as he reached out to help her, Giselle recoiled violently and shoved him away. Clenching her jaw, she forced herself to stand.

"Renee, Tony…" She glowered at them, then snarled, "One day, you'll regret not finishing me off today. It'll be the biggest mistake of your lives."

Before they could react, Giselle dragged herself out of the living room, limping toward her car. She scrambled into the driver's seat in a daze.

Realizing that Sebastian's flashy sports car had been carelessly parked right in front of hers and blocking her way, she jammed on the accelerator without a second thought. She crashed into the rear of his car, ramming it several yards forward before speeding off.

On her way back home, Giselle puttered down the road, lost in thought. Her mind kept circling back to the disaster earlier at the Holt residence.

A dull ache bloomed in her chest, and the agony suffocated her. Memories of her mother and grandparents, who had passed away a long time ago, flooded her mind.

Her mother was Rebecca Moore, and Renee was Rebecca's elder sister. But Renee was adopted, while Rebecca was the Moore family's biological daughter.
