Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 522

"Yeah, of course I am," Zachary replied angrily. "This is so baffling to me! Do I look old enough to be baby-trapped?"

"How ridiculous! She's making baseless claims. Who knows if any of it is even true?" he added.

Although he had slept with Anne, Zachary had always regarded their relationship as nothing more than a casual fling. He'd never developed any feelings for her at all.

Truth be told, ever since he had his heart broken by Giselle, he'd become so cynical and indifferent that no woman was able to pique his interest anymore. Because of this, he'd only get into relationships to satisfy his sexual desires.

"Okay," Donovan replied.

Now that he knew where Zachary stood on the matter, he understood what he had to do next.

"I don't want to dwell on whatever that happened between you and Anne," he said to Zachary coldly. "However, I want you to cut all ties with her and stop contacting her for good. I'll take care of the unborn child."

Upon hearing this, Zachary finally relaxed. Donovan had been dejected for a very long time. Now that he'd finally pulled himself together, Zachary felt genuinely relieved.

…

The following night, Donovan returned to his villa after he got off work.

Smoking a cigarette, he asked Benjamin to come to his study before handing him a pile of documents he'd ask someone to prepare.

"These documents contain all of Anne Holt's social relationships," he said in a cold voice. "Get it done according to what I want. Hire your own team. I'll give you a million-dollar bonus once everything has been completed."

Benjamin took the documents from Donovan. With a determined look in his eyes, he replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Kane. I'll make sure everything is done flawlessly."

To his surprise, Ethan was currently on a phone call. When he caught sight of Donovan's sudden arrival, he looked slightly flustered. Subsequently, he muttered something to the person he was on call with before hastily hanging up the phone.

As he put down his phone, Ethan chuckled awkwardly and asked, "What brings you here, Don? Is there something you want to discuss?"

"Yes." Upon noticing how anxious Ethan looked, Donovan asked cooly, "Am I interrupting?"

"Not at all," Ethan replied as he tried to appear calm. "I was just… on a call with Gideon. We were just talking about how his company is doing.

"Now that he's moved to Cambria, I've been running the company back home myself. He's planning to start his own business there."

For some reason, the mention of Gideon's name made Donovan's chest tighten.
