Everyone at the table was stunned and tumed to Donovan. They were shocked to see the fury on his tace as he scolded, “Mom, have you lost your mind? How cATI you approve of Zach fooling around with some random woman?”
Dorothea, Ethan, and Grace were all taken aback. Donnyan had never cared about family affairs before and always backed Zachary without question. No one could belleve he was now speaking against him. His sudden fury seemed completely out of character and utterly battling
Astor Zachary, he glared at Donovan in contusion, unable to understand why the latter was so angry.
Meanwhile, Giselle remained calm. A faint, cold smile tugged at her lips as she silently enjoyed watching Donovan lose his composure.

Dorothea’s expression darked, and for a long while, she said nothing. After all, Giselle had just saved her beloved cat.
Torase the tension, Ethan interjected, “Just now, Zach said Ms. Holt in Dr. Holt’s daughter. It Don were to marry someone from the Holt family, that would make
