"Crack!"

As Benedict stepped into the study, the sound of a coffee cup being violently shattered caught his attention. He quickly entered the room and saw Dylan, who had promised to stay in his quarters earlier, now kneeling before Gabriel.

Coffee had splashed everywhere near his knees, and the shattered fragments indicated several coffee cups had already been broken before Benedict arrived.

Sitting at the high table, Gabriel narrowed his eyes, his voice tinged with anger. "Dylan, I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me, what were you looking for in this study?"

Dylan kept his head down, silent. From the moment he had been captured, he hadn't uttered a single word. Despite Gabriel s repeated questioning, Dylan remained expressionless, offering no response at all.

The sight only fueled Gabriel's rage. "Fine. If you're going to resort to such underhanded tactics, don't blame me for what

comes next."

"Someone, bring the family punishment!"

At the door, Benedict couldn't hold himself back any longer. He stepped forward, his voice urgent, "Wait, Gabriel. There must be some misunderstanding here. Let me speak with Dylan. Perhaps we can get to the bottom of this."

Gabriel looked up at Benedict, frustration simmering beneath his cold expression. Why, among his four sons, was there not one who could give him peace of mind?

Gabriel thought, 'Why is it that none of my four sons are giving me peace of mind? Matthew and Anthony are excusable- one is too extreme in his actions, and the other is constantly in poor health. Even Dylan isn't much better-impulsive, quick to anger, and difficult to handle. But Benedict is different. He's the one who resembles me the most out of all of them.'

Gabriel had always taken great care in raising Benedict, teaching him since childhood. He had already decided long ago that Benedict would inherit the title of Duke once he stepped down. It had always been the plan.
