Chapter 21

Vincent slumped on the couch in the private room of Nightfall Bar, looking worn out.

Ruby got into a car accident because of him, and for the FitzGerald and Turner family’s reputation, he had to take good care of Ruby.

Rubbing his brow, Vincent was not in the best of moods.

“Mr. Gladstone is here.”

“Vincent, your brother–in–law has arrived,” his buddies said with a laugh.

Caleb entered the room and frowned at Vincent. “Everybody out.”

Vincent’s pals exchanged glances, sensing some FitzGerald family drama, and they stepped outside to guard the door.

“Caleb, what brings you to me?” Vincent leaned back, lighting a smoke with a lazy vibe.

Caleb’s frown deepened, his knuckles turning white as he clenched his fists. “The Gladstone family ran into a hiccup with a project in the eastern suburbs and needs the FitzGerald family to, um, have a chat with Mr. Bryce from Aurora Tech.”

Caleb’s parents, having heard about Caleb’s tiff with Vincent, pressured Caleb to apologize, as the matter was crucial for the future and prospects of the Gladstone Group.

“Oh? What’s that to me? You came to me for help?” Vincent’s tone was icy, remembering the guy from that night at the hotel who made him sick and wishing to take him down.

Caleb was such a mama’s boy, always listening to his mother. Vincent couldn’t fathom what Kristin and his sister saw in him!

“Vincent, if you don’t want to help, you could at least stop with the snide remarks,” Caleb interjected, his brows knitted.

“That’s how you ask for a favor?” Vincent chuckled, taking a deep drag. “The only one in the FitzGerald family who can get a word with Mr. Bryce is my brother Rhett. Why don’t you beg him?”

Vincent’s voice dripped with sarcasm.
