Nobody said a word. Dn, who was on his knees, looked extremely upset.

"Grandpa, Uncle Andrew has been oppressed by Uncle Ethan all his life, and he''s now being framed by Uncle Ethan in broad daylight. Are we all just gonna sit back and watch? Does that mean Uncle Ethan is the only one who gets to call the shots in our family from now on?

"He gets to kill anyone arbitrarily and the rest of us are just going to have to live our lives walking on eggshells under his dictatorship?"

These were heavy words, and they effectively trampled on everyone''s dignity- including Jordan''s.

Dn went all out tonight, even getting down on his knees to beg Jordan.fn96ef Official source is find[?]ovel/fn96ef

"All I want is justice!"

In that room, some were enjoying themselves while the rest were worried.

Bart was also here. When his eldest son died, he did not dare to say anything. Now, his youngest son was putting everything on the line, and yet all he could do was sit and watch. He clenched his fists tightly.

If Ethan was not the one going down tonight, then the one going down would be the entire Henderson family.

Dn continued begging, "Grandpa, I''m begging you. Please stop Jodie from leaving the country! I''m sure she knows a lot of things."

Jordan turned toward Ethan. "Ethan, what do you think?"

Ethan let his gaze fall. "Be my guest."

The way Ethan wasidback about this made the others feel unsettled instead. It was as if everything was going ording to his n.

Someone from the Henderson family had gone out to look for Jodie. However, they were told that Jodie was already on the ne.

Jordan''s men were one step toote.

When they heard about the news, Jordan fixed a deep gaze on Ethan. He pursed his lips for a brief moment before he spoke solemnly.

"Within half a month, the Henderson family will hold a wedding for you. I''ll put out the message tonight and have the other families send us the contact details of their unmarried daughters. I''ll be the one to pick from the list."

Jordan had just finished speaking when Dn, who was still kneeling on the floor, cried out in frustration, "Grandpa!"

What Jordan had just said meant that he would not be pursuing Jodie''s matter any further. Nevertheless, he would not allow Ethan to be acquainted with Grace.

That was a matter that was more pressing than Jodie''s.

"That''s enough."

Jordan got up from his seat. He sounded exhausted. "We''ll talk about it again after Ethan''s wedding. As for Grace-you''d better send her away. I''ll let your mother know and have her join us as well."

It had been many years since

Martha started living in seclusion. At the time, she had even dered that she would not be meddling in the Henderson family''s affairs anymore. That was because she had been

the

badly hurt before.  s

And she kept her vow. All these years, she had never even appeared once.

But if it was Ethan''s wedding, she might just show up.

Jordan was the first to go upstairs. The rest did not dare to stick around longer either.

Dn got up from the floor begrudgingly. His tone was resentful. "I really don''t know what kind of deal you and Grandpa got going. I don''t get why he''s still taking your side even after so many years."

Strictly speaking, that was not even the case. It was tant favoritism, one that made everyone else jealous.

Ethan remained silent. He signaled Tim to get him out of there.

The remaining few stared at his retreating silhouette with a mix of emotions on their faces. Even after everything that happened tonight, Ethan remained unscathed. This was a message that left everyone feeling unsettled.  s

Could this mean that as long as Ethan did not kill them in front of Jordan, Jordan would just let it go and not pursue the matter?

Once again, Ethan got into the car. He propped his chin on one hand as he stared outside.

Tim asked, "Mr. Henderson, about the wedding..."

What happened tonight was not that clear-cut. The reason Jordan had put off the matter was just to see Ethan would obey his wishes and get married, Otherwise, he would. hold him ountable for all of the things he had done.  s

Ethan''sshes trembled. Suddenly, he asked, "What do you think Grace is up to now?"

Tim thought that he had imagined hearing the question. Huh?

Things at the Henderson household were at a breaking point. The atmosphere

was tense, with everyone stuck in a violent standoff. And here Ethan was, thinking about what Grace could be up to.
