Chapter 21 Love

The ClubBar was Daniel's temporary solace, the dimmed lighting matching his weary demeanor.

Serena had been in a car accident, and for the sake of the Douglas and the Wilson families' reputations, he was bound to take good care of her.

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Daniel felt the weight of his responsibilities pressing down on him.

"Mr. Taylor has arrived."

"Daniel, your brother-in-law's here," his buddies chimed in with a grin.

Jordan stepped into the private room, furrowing his brow upon seeing Daniel. "Everyone else, clear out."

Daniel's friends exchanged glances. Sensing a domestic issue of the Douglas clan, they stepped outside to guard the door.

"Got something you wanna talk about?" Drawled Daniel, lounging on the couch with a lit cigarette, the very picture of laissez-faire.

Jordan's brow furrowed, his knuckles whitening as he clenched his fists. "Ran into a snag with the Willowcrest project. The Taylors need the Douglasses to step in... meet with Mr. Patrick from SHC Group."

Jordan's parents, having heard about a spat between Jordan and Daniel, had strong- armed Jordan into making amends. After all, it concerned the Taylor Corporation's destiny and prospects.

"If you're gonna help, help. No need for the sarcasm," Jordan said, his frown deeper
