Chapter 456

Dylan had thought that the day was over, but Ethan took out his phone and gave Jordan a call. "Father." Jordan had recently begun seeing guests and was now playing a game of chess with Theodore, the man who called the shots in the Yule family. "What's up?" "I saw Dylan on the street. He's hurt, and I sent him to the hospital." Jordan's hand, which was holding a chess piece, paused, his tone calm. "Is it serious?" "Not really, but I think he's unable to attend tomorrow's dinner." Dylan sat beside Ethan, watching him lie through his teeth. Jordan had the most authority in the Henderson family. Nobody in the family dared lie to him. But when Ethan said all that, he didn't even blink. "Good, good. As long as he's okay." After hanging up, Ethan looked toward Dylan. "Take a break for two months. Don't show up at the office." Hearing this, Dylan struggled to get up, his face flushed. "What? Why?" The Henderson family's Christmas celebration wasn't just a superficial dinner party.
