Chapter 60
“Whatever.” Donovan didn’t want to argue with Zachary any longer and warned, “If you’re going to mess around with Giselle and let your grades slip, I’ll have your father freeze all your cards, I’d like to see if that shut would still give you a second look when you’re broke!”
Zachary stiffened, seething with anger. For a moment, he nearly lost control and almost threw a punch.
But Donovan was right. Zachary was only 24, still an undergraduate. Despite living the lavish life of a top–tier heir and having everything he wanted, he wasn’t financially independent yet,
As the Kane family’s only grandchild, he held shares in the Kane Group that brought in a sizable annual retum. His parents spoiled him with endless cash.
Donovan also transfered money to him regularly, and none of his cards had spending limits.

The store was well–staffed, and as the owner, she didn’t need to be there daily, she only stepped in for serious client disputes or difficult medical cases that the vets couldn’t handle.
Most of the time, she just listened to reports from the managers. Her schedule was pretty flexible.
Back home, she was about to dy up and get on the treadmill when the doorbell rang-
Curious, she opened the door.
She was shocked to find Zachary standing there.
“Zach?”
Zachary looked completely dazed. With one hand in his pocket, he walked into the living room and sat on her couch.
“Did something happen? Giselle telt atwinge of guilt when it came to Zachary,
“Are you happy?” Zachary asked suddenly.
His question caugiat her off guard. But she could guess, it must’ve just had a rough time with Donovan.
“What did Uncle Do say to you?

After a long silence, he looked up and stared deeply at her. “Giselle, can you promise inte one
