Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel 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. All family members had to report on the tasks they had completed. If they gained Jordan's attention, he might directly invest in their ventures. If they were successful, they would receive more shares in the Henderson family.

Dylan had just returned home this year, and his foreign branch had made great breakthroughs abroad. Jordan had told him early on that he was going to take extra notice on his report.

Now that he couldn't attend, where would he have the guts to show his face to Jordan after this?

Ethan chuckled and straightened his sleeves. "Because you overestimated yourself."

Dylan's face turned pale in an instant, and he clenched his fists. His whole body was trembling with humiliation.

When Ethan left, he heard Tim asking him, "What if we push him too far?"

Looking out the window, Ethan noticed that the wind was howling outside. "Then we'll make sure he never speaks again."

"Checkmate. Theodore, you're still one step behind."

Theodore was elegant, the complete opposite of the charismatic Jordan. Sighing, he picked up his tea and took a sip.

Jordan knew he had something to say, so he slowly put the chess set away. "Ethan's mind isn't on that right now, and I can't force him."

"Jordan, I once thought Ethan was still hung up on Lillian, but it seems Ethan is getting too close to Grace…"

Lillian Yule. She was the one who was kidnapped and murdered seven years ago. Everyone knew that she was accidentally killed because of Grace.

Lillian and Grace had a pretty close relationship back then. But because of her text, Lillian was kidnapped and later murdered.

But the Yule family couldn't pin the crime on Grace with the evidence they found or everyone would think they were just using their power to bully her.

A prestigious family like theirs couldn't lose their dignity in such a manner.
