Chapter 87
Giselle was genuinely worried that if Dorothea got angry enough, she might pull some strings to have Eastin “arrested“.
After all, dogs of Eastin’s breed were banned in certain areas. And on top of that, Eastin was undeniably aggressive.
Given the current situation, she didn’t want to get entangled with Anne, Renee, and Dorothea any further.
Giselle grabbed her phone and car keys, then left the living room without saying a word. Eastin quickly chased after her.
She got in the car, stepped on the gas, and drove away from the villa with Eastin as fast as she could.
Thinking back to the faces she had just seen–especially Dorothea’s scomful words–Giselle’s mood sank. Her plan had indeed included trying to win her over
After all, Dorothea was the matriarch of the Kanes and Donovan’s mother. Gaining her approval was key to resolving everything at its core.

Then he can anxiously toward the security booth, clearly alarmed, though she still didn’t know what exactly had happened.
Just then, Giselle heard someone in the crowd scream, followed by frantle yelling.
It could be a heated argument. But people wouldn’t look so terrified over an argument, and the whole crowd was slowly backing away.
Then she noticed several uniformed officers on the scene. They weren’t just regular police, but SWAT,
and they were armed.
Giselle began to suspect something dite had happened, maybe even a violent crime. She didn’t want to get involved, so she turned to leave.
But just then, she caught a glimpse of a tall, familiar figure in the distance. It looked like Donovan This was his company. If something serious had happened, of course, he’d be there.
A powerful sense of dread surged through Giselle. Without a second thought, she ran toward t And when she made it to the edge and saw what was happening, her heart skipped a beat,
