NovelEnglishThe Silent 417 417.Chapter 417 Gabriel snatched the wooden box from Matthew's hands and slammed it onto the deck with a loud bang. Pointing at the pill inside, he roared, "You idiot! Do you have any idea what would happen if this thing caught fire? All three of us would be doomed. None of us would make it out alive!" Matthew froze in shock, his face pale as he instinctively stepped back several paces.
When his gaze fell on the pill again, a chill ran down his spine. The thought of what could have happened made his heart face.
If his father hadn't intervened in time, he would've caused a disaster beyond imagination Even though Matthew was drenched in cold sweat, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in frustration. "Who the hell made this thing? It's disgusting and downright sinister Gabriel's voice was sharp and commanding. "Stop worrying about who made it. That's not your concern. Just remember my warning, stay for away from this filth, and from anyone who's been tainted by it. Do you understand?" Faced with their father's fury, both Sophie and Matthew nodded quickly, "We understand, Father." Matthew winced at the thought of his wasted fifty gold coins. All that money was gone, and it didn't even help Benedict. Now he was even getting scolded because of it.

"Now you care about your brother? Where was this concern earlier?" Matthew's face burned with embarrassment, and he couldn't find the words to respond.
Sophie glanced at Matthew before stepping forward, her tone soft and placating. "Father, Matthew and I really know we messed up this time. We'll accept whatever punishment you give us. But please don't let this ruin your health. Let's talk calmly, alright?" Sophie had noticed that while Gabriel was still angry, his fury had clearly subsided compared to before.
It was only because of this that she dared to speak up.
Gabriel cast her a faint glance. "If you really cared about me, you'd stop causing trouble. It's always the same. I don't have the tto keep cleaning up your messes." "But... we're just kids, Father..." Sophie muttered, her voice soft and hesitant Gabriel let out a cold laugh. "Kids? You're both in your twenties! Other families' daughters are already married, and their sons have careers. But you two? Always causing trouble, never accomplishing anything worthwhile!" Matthew's expression instantly hardened, his face growing colder, Gabriel, too caught up in his anger, didn't notice.
Gabriel was so frustrated that he lost his composure.
It wasn't until after he finished speaking that he realized he'd brought up something he shouldn't have. He glanced sideways at Matthew, noticing he had gone quiet. A pang of guilt flickered in Gabriels heart.
His gaze shifted briefly, but he quickly turned away and said in a cold voice, "Enough. Matthew, take your sister and go find Dylan. If you fail to complete the task I've assigned, don't bother coming back to the Duke's estate." After all, it was a punishment he'd already decided on, and Gabriel had no intention of changing it.
