Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 464

Grace's sneer lingered in the air, but Giselle met her gaze without flinching. "Don't worry. No matter what happens, I'll never abandon my husband. I don't care whether he did it or not. I'll find a way to get him out of this. All of you can go. I'll handle it myself."

Dorothea studied her for a long moment. Though clearly uneasy, she eventually left with Ethan and Grace, perhaps deciding to test Giselle's resolve.

Giselle forced herself to stay calm, but the very thought of Donovan being accused of rape sent a chill racing down her spine.

Her thoughts tangled into knots. She had never imagined he could be caught up in a rape case. Did the accusation hold any truth? Had he been framed? Or had he actually crossed that line? She had no answers, no direction, only a rising dread.

Her hands trembled as she tried to book a ticket, when suddenly a breaking international news alert flashed across her phone.

She opened it instantly and found that the report of Donovan's alleged rape in Astrakhan had already spread widely online. The news was accompanied by a video that documented his arrest.

In the footage, Donovan was handcuffed and escorted into a patrol car, surrounded by police, reporters, and onlookers.

Though he wasn't a public figure in entertainment, his status as the CEO of Kane Pharmaceutical Group made him a prominent figure in the business world. Naturally, the scandal ignited a frenzy.

Donovan appeared composed in the clips, but the sight of him in handcuffs tore through Giselle's chest. Her mind buzzed, her face drained of color, and a cold numbness seeped into her body.

Worse still, Giselle knew the Kane Group's stock would nosedive the moment markets opened tomorrow.

The weight of this realization made her pulse race wildly. She couldn't sit still. Yet every flight to Astrakhan was fully booked—the earliest ticket she could secure was for the following morning. Just as despair tightened around her, her phone buzzed again.

It was a message from Gideon. It read, "Are you busy? I want to see you."

The moment she read it, a chill swept over her. A horrifying thought struck—could Gideon be the one orchestrating all of this?
