"Did I hear that right?" Dorothea gasped, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Anne is involved with Zach again? What is going on? You can't just say anything without thinking!"
Ethan's face darkened with anger. "This is unbelievable! Renee must have completely lost it. Who even knows whose child her daughter is carrying, and now she's dragging Zach into it? Does she really think we will just sit back and let her cause chaos?"
Grace shifted uncomfortably and muttered, "When Renee told me yesterday, I didn't believe it either, but guess what she sent me later?"
"What?" Dorothea asked, leaning forward.
"She actually sent me a photo," Grace stammered. "It was Zach and Anne in bed together. They weren't wearing anything. It was obvious they had slept together."
Dorothea's face turned ashen as she slammed her spoon onto the table. "This is outrageous! Call Zach immediately. I want to know exactly what's going on!"
"No need," Grace said, lowering her eyes in guilt. "I asked him face-to-face last night. He admitted it. He really had a sexual relationship with Anne. I almost died on the spot. I was so furious that I slapped him across the face."
Ethan's jaw tightened as he muttered under his breath, "When did this happen? How did I not know anything?"
He remembered that Anne had once been engaged to Donovan and might even have slept with him. Now she had seduced his own son, and it felt like his whole world was falling apart.
Grace shot him a glare. "You've always had your mind on that other woman. When have you ever truly cared about our son? If you had paid attention as a father, do you think he would be acting like this?"
Donovan said no more and had lost all appetite. Rising from his chair, he walked upstairs, wearing a gloomy expression.
The others at the table were just as restless, filled with anger, resentment, and disbelief at what had just happened.
The next morning, Dorothea summoned Tony and Renee to Kane Manor, determined to see the situation for herself.
Tony had an important surgery to handle, so he didn't come.
Renee shamelessly showed up at Kane Manor, bringing Anne along with her.
