508.Chapter 508

About fifteen minutes later, Benedict, Matthew, Anthony, and Sophie had all gathered in the study.

Benedict greeted Gabriel before sitting down, his demeanor indifferent and detached,

Matthew, after wheeling Anthony into the room, asked with a mix of exhaustion and impatience, "Father, is there a reason you've called us all here so late?"

By now, Sophie should have already returned to the Marquis's estate with Caleb. After all, she was no longer the heiress of the Duke's estate but the concubine of Caleb.

However, she had stayed behind under the pretense of wanting to discuss the day's events with her father and brothers, but it was only for tonight. Tomorrow, she would have no choice but to return. Caleb and the others' patience with her was, after all, wearing thin.

Sophie had barely finished hiding the ledger when she was summoned to the study again. Her mind was preoccupied, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. The moment she stepped into the room, her eyes instinctively darted to Gabriel.

To her surprise, Gabriel's face wasn't twisted in the fury she had feared. Instead, it was cold and unreadable, which only heightened her unease. Her nerves were stretched taut, and she couldn't relax at all.

Sophie forced herself to appear composed, quietly taking a seat alongside Matthew and the others, without uttering a word. "Matthew, Anthony, has Dylan reached out to either of you recently?" Gabriel sat behind his desk, his gaze casually sweeping over Matthew and Anthony.

Anthony shook his head first, looking worn out and fragile. "Ever since Dylan left the Stonor family, he hasn't contacted me. I rarely leave the estate, so I haven't reached out to him either."

Matthew followed, his tone tinged with concern. "I haven't heard from Dylan since his last visit. Father, is something wrong? Did something happen to him?"

Gabriel didn't answer, instead turning his attention to Benedict. "And you, Benedict? Have you been in touch with Dylan?" Benedict's expression remained calm as he replied, "No."
