Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 382

Hearing this, Dorothea's expression hardened, and she said nothing.

As someone who had weathered many storms and once carved out her place in the business world, she was neither blind to Giselle's nature nor gullible enough to believe every rumor.

With such a history, even a broad-minded woman like Dorothea couldn't accept her as a daughter-in-law with ease. Yet, after everything that had happened recently, her resistance was no longer as fierce as before.
