Chapter 1455

Steven was super pissed off, puffing on one cigarette after another. Soon enough, he had gone through a whole pack.

Rick was waiting nearby, wanting to say something several times but fearing to piss him off, so he just quietly waited.

After finishing a pack of cigarettes, Steven suddenly looks at Rick, angrily saying, “You’re just standing there not saying a word. Are you mute or trying to scare me?”

Rick was somewhat annoyed inside, but tried to stay polite on the surface. “President Dixon, your father called again, and he wants you to come home tonight, no excuses.”

Steven scoffed coldly, “He orders me to pull back the protection for Hannah, making Daniela’s plot succeed and causing Hannah to be seriously injured. I haven’t even settled scores with him yet, and he dares to ask me to come home?”

Rick said, “Your father wants you home; it must be about the Dixon Group board meeting in a few days. Your uncle has been very active lately, even trying to use your relationship with Daniela. If you don’t go back, and don’t answer your father’s calls, he might come see you in the hospital.”

Steven said, “Am I afraid of him coming to the hospital? Tell him that if he wants to come to the hospital, I won’t stop him. But the moment he steps into the hospital, he must apologize to Hannah.”

They all knew that getting someone from the Dixon family to apologize to Hannah was as likely as the sun never rising again.

Steven said, “What are you still doing here? Go’tell him right now.”

Rick said, “President Dixon, you’re not afraid, but what about Mrs. Dixon? And her parents? They just arrived at the hospital, you don’t want them to be offended, right?”

Steven wasn’t afraid of his father because his father wouldn’t do anything to him, but even with Steven present, his father could still stir up trouble. It wouldn’t hurt the Ableson family, but it could certainly be a nuisance. Rick thought, Steven definitely didn’t want that to happen.

Steven said, “You stay here. Don’t leave until I come back.”

Rick let out a sigh of relief. “Alright.”

Steven’s car was a low-key luxury Bentley. He didn’t call for a driver, instead driving back to the Dixon family home himself.

Since he didn’t give a heads up, his parents didn’t wait for him to have dinner together. After they finished eating, they held hands and took a stroll in the back garden.

Jacqueline felt sorry for her son and spoke up for him now and then, “Steven is almost thirty. Let him make his own decisions. Stop worrying about him.”

Kenneth said, “Spoiling will ruin a child.”

Jacqueline didn’t like hearing this. “Ruin a child? Where did Steven go wrong? He’s taken over the Dixon Group at such a young age, managing it so well. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have all this free time to do what you want.”

Kenneth naturally acknowledged Steven’s work performance. “He’s indeed done a great job with the Dixon Group. In the few years since he took over, the Dixon Group has made great progress. He’s sharp in business, but a mess when it comes to personal relationships. We arranged a marriage for him, but he didn’t think much of Daniela from the Salazar family, so I didn’t push it. As long as he could bring home a lady from a family with a better background than the Salazars, it would be fine. But instead, he quietly married an actress. Tell me, isn’t this your fault?”

Jacqueline said, “Although Hannah comes from a modest background, she’s a good person. I’ve met her a few times and she…”

Kenneth interrupted her, “Good person? Can you eat good character? It might be a plus in poorer families, but the last thing we need in the Dixon family is good character. If everyone is a good person, then do we still need to do business? The world values mutual benefit. No one pays for kindness.”
