Looking at Brent and Lone Wolf who were choking and coughing, Jack laughed.
One billion was enough to make them both surprised, to him, the information behind this one billion was more important.
For once,… fate was on his side!
For all those efforts he made, his father and Mr. Ward did not let him go to waste after all.
As for the rest, he wasn’t worried.
As long as he was still standing on the board and not eliminated, he still had a chance to fight on!
After a stretch, Jack smiled and said, “Lone wolf, go and buy some breakfast, I am starving.”
“Yes, Mr. Hughes.”
After Lone wolf left, Brent returned to his senses, and smiled in relief, “Young master, your effort was not in vain, old master and Mr. Ward succeeded.”
“Well, there should be some trouble coming up.”
Jack rubbed his nose, a deep gaze, “This matter cannot be settled so easily. Killian isn’t a person that can swallow his anger.”
Brent nodded as he pondered something.
He took out his phone and redialled Mr. Ward’s number.
When he pressed the hands-free button, the system showed that Mr. Ward switched off his phone.
“Don’t worry, if anything happens, Mr. Ward will contact us soon.” Jack consoled him.
For the next few days, Jack was recuperating in a hospital.
Jack left Lone Wolf to look after him, as Brent went to LJ Hospital, Jack’s mother’s side to cover for him.
His mother was hospitalized; it would undoubtedly take a toll on her health if she knew what had happened to his son.
As for DT company, he directed the entire company through Corbin.
Coupled with the assistance of Drago from Drago real estate agency from the sidelines, there won’t be any problems for a while.
After all, he held absolute control over all Drago real estate’s share even though it was tainted as it was forced upon Drago by Mr. Ward to hand it over. But Drago didn’t dare to act rashly in this matter.
Otherwise, he would have lost even more.
Even though they lost contact with Mr. Ward, everything finally settled down for Jack.
At TM villa district.
It was noon, yet Aiden was not even hungry.
He was in a state of anxiety to the point of not eating and drinking for the past few days.
The sudden departure of Killian had made all his plan to side with him foil instantly.
And for what happened that day, he had heard a few words from the TM villa management.
Jack led men and charged into Killian’s home. After Jack left, Killian also left with injuries.
The mere brevity of the information made it impossible for him to deduce what had happened that day.
From what he knew about Hughes’ family, this not just a simple beating and Killian’s departure was out of the ordinary.
On one side, the sudden departure of Killian.
On the other hand, Jack, who was still lying in the hospital.
The question of who to side with, made Aiden start scratching his head.
Everyone wants to follow someone that can lead to success.
There was no exception for Aiden too even he had been the best businessman in the city.
But when you follow the dragon, only that can lead to success.
If you follow a worm, it’s all doom and gloom.
Knock! Knock!
There was a knock on the door.
“Go away! I told you I don’t want to see anyone!”
Aiden scolded angrily.
With his temper, he would not be in such an uncontrollable state usually.
But now, Hughes’ family’s affairs had made him on edge.
“Master, there’s a call for you from a gentleman named Hughes.”
An old man said from the outside of the door.
“A phone call?”
Aiden looked stunned, his eyes lit up and quickly ran to open the door and walked to his own office.
When he heard Killian’s voice on the phone, this immediately lifted Aiden’s mind.
“Mr. Hughes, why did you leave all of a sudden?” Aiden asked the question that had been bothering for him for days.
“So what?”
On the phone, Killian remained condescending, as if he was commanding an order, “Tonight there will be a Hughes’ family personal jet landing in your city this evening. Do receive them thoughtfully.”
“Yes, of course, I’ll do my best to receive them.”
