Belinda immediately shoved Lanny into Susan's arms and dragged Sophia into the bathroom to hide.
Alexa quickly kicked their shoes out of sight in the entryway and hurried over to clear the used teacups from the table.
Lance stepped out through the sunroom's side door to greet Catherine as she stepped out of her car.
Through the window, Catherine noticed a flurry of chaotic shadows in the living room.
Before she could get a closer look, Lance stepped into her line of sight, blocking her view.
"What took you so long to get back?"
Catherine closed the car door and adjusted the strap of her bag. "I told you yesterday, I had meetings all afternoon."
Lance shoved his hands into his pockets and leaned against the side of her car. "Why did Gavin and his father have a falling out?"
"How did you know about that?" Catherine was shocked. It had barely been two hours since it happened. How did Lance find out so fast?
"Hammer put the word out. Anyone who dares to help Gavin is making an enemy out of Golden Horizon Enterprises."
The moment the news broke, it had reached Lance's ears.
Catherine had assumed that fathers and sons never held grudges overnight.
Gavin was Hammer's only son. She figured they would yell a bit, give each other the cold shoulder for a couple of days, and then it would blow over.
But for him to make it public knowledge—did this mean they had truly severed ties?
"So, do you think he cut off Gavin's cards and kicked him out of the house?"
Catherine quickly adjusted her thoughts. Yes, they had really severed ties.
But they were still father and son. Hammer was definitely just trying to force Gavin to bow his head and submit.
Over the years, Gavin had become famously rebellious. Hammer clearly wanted to break his stubborn streak this time.
And how would he do it? Simply by cutting off his funds, leaving Gavin with nowhere to go until he obediently crawled back home.
"I need to make a call."
Without waiting for Lance's reply, Catherine walked around to the back of the car and dialed Gavin's number.
No one answered.
