Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 225

"Shouldn't the police be handling this? Let them deal with it! What else can I do? That kid's been mixed up with shady people for years—I can't keep track of all that. Just call the police!"

After all, Giselle was the one who had been kidnapped—not Gideon. Of course, there was nothing for Ethan to be particularly worried about. He was just slightly surprised.

Seeing Donovan's dark expression, he tried to persuade him. "Since you've already cut ties with that woman, why get involved again? Leave it all to the police.

"Besides, you should remember who you are and where you stand. Don't get dragged into the underworld's affairs—it won't do us any good."

Kane Group dabbled in pharmaceuticals, with strong connections to the government. They were a proper and legitimate business, and maintaining their brand image mattered to Ethan. Once tainted by criminal associations, their reputation would inevitably suffer.

Donovan couldn't care less about commenting on Ethan's indifference.

"Your adopted son is about to throw himself to the wolves. If you don't want him dead, figure out a way yourself," he said, leaving to get the kidnappers' contact from Gideon.

That finally struck a nerve in Ethan.

"What do you mean? He's actually planning something so foolish?"

He pulled out his phone to call the police, but Donovan snatched it away at once.

"Don't alert them yet. This is far more complicated than you think."

Ethan hadn't wanted to get involved, but now he was concerned about Gideon's safety. He called Gideon right after, but Gideon didn't pick up, no matter how many times he rang.

"I'll go find Gideon now," he said grimly.

The more he thought about it, the more serious it seemed. He hurried out of Donovan's office.
