“Shot up!
* Zach, please leave
The moment Zachary called Giselle his girlfriend, Donovan’s anger flared even more. His tone tumed sharp and commanding. “Are you going to defy me now? When I tell you to get out, you get out. Don’t make me repeat myself”
Without another word, Donovan stormed upstairs, unwilling to remain in the living room. Zachary frowned, frustrated by his uncle’s unreasonable outburst. Jast as he was about to follow and defend himself, Giselle gently stopped him.
“Why don’t you go for now, Zach?” she said softly. “I’ll stay and talk to Mr. Kane. It’s no big deal.TM
“No way I can’t let you face my family alone,” Zachary protested. The thought of Giselle standing alone before the unpredictable Donovan worried him deeply. “it’s fine,” she replied with a faint smile. “Mr. Kane’s going to marry my sister soon, remember? That’ll make him my brother–in–law, We’ll all be family eventually, I might as well face him now.”
Zachary hesitated, thinking about how intimidating Donovan lead just been. He knew how domineering his uncle could be, but in the end, he had no choice but to nod reluctantly.
“Alright… Go talk to him. If anything happens, call me Immediately. Don’t worry, Uncle Don and I are close. He won’t go too far.”

Pushing it open, she saw Donovan standing on the balcony, his hands gripping the railing tightly, his back to her. He said nothing, but the heavy air around him telt dangerous, like a storm waiting to break.
Calmly stepping closer, Giselle said, “So… what is it you wanted to talk about in private, Mr. Kane
Still, Donovan semained silent, his mood darker than before. Only after a long moment did he finally speak, his voice low and grave. “What exactly was all that downstairs supposed to mean?”
Giselle let out a quiet laugh. “Isn’t it obvious? You saw and heard everything I’ve got a boyfriend now
your nephew, no less.”
With a mischievous glint in her eye, she moved closer to him, boldly testing his patience. “I’ll marry him someday. Then the three of us can live happily under one rout How exciting! The only downside is that I’ll have to call you Uncle Don… Right?”
Donovan clenched his jaw and shut his eyes, struggling to contain the fury balling inside lam.
