Chapter 598: Still Waters Run Deep

On the other end of the line, Raymond was losing it. "You guys always call me to dig this up, dig that up. You called, Ethan called, and even Brandon called. Do I owe you guys something? I ain't making a cent from this, but I still gotta bail you out?"

Over at the Patrick family crib, Mr. Patrick was fuming, tapping his cane on the table. "You sure you wanna head to Muskow? This your call?"

Henry nodded, strolling over to give Mr. Patrick a shoulder rub. "Gramps, you're getting up there in age. Don't stress over stuff you don't need to. Leave it to us. Chill out, and I'll swing by often."

Mr. Patrick's face was tight. Honestly, he regretted calling Ian back.

Henry used to be a good boy, but everything flipped when Jasmine came into the picture. He blew off Mr. Patrick's orders to mess with the Douglas family and bring Justin back. Mr. Patrick thought Henry was slacking, so he called Ian back to whip him into shape, which just made things worse.

Henry himself had asked to go to Muskow.

Mr. Patrick wanted to use Ian to light a fire under Henry, but it backfired.

Henry used to think he had no weak spots.

"You're not a kid anymore. Time to tie the knot. If you don't like who I've picked, find someone yourself." Mr. Patrick sighed, giving in. He just wanted to see Henry settle down. "I shouldn't have stopped you and..."

He trailed off, sighing.
