It was quiet the whole night.
What happened in TM District drew the attention of the whole town on it.
And there was no lack of admiring girls, who haven't slept the whole night.
At sunrise the next morning.
Jack finished his training, and was back at home with Brent, they ran into Mr. Ward watching the morning news.
"Young Master, they are showing about last night." Mr. Ward said with strong interest.
Jack shrugged his shoulder, "They won't be showing anything interesting, there's nothing to see."
Mr. Ward laughed and held up his phone, "The media won't show much, but those bloggers are making up stories."
Jack came closer to take a look, and laughed out loud.
[Shocking news! TM District in quite a stir, unknown person captures the imagination!]
The only fact that was true was about what happened last night in TM, everything else was simply made up.
Some rumors are even saying that Jack was a silver spoon child who had his own family, and caused that scene to please his mistress.
He didn't dare to show up personally because he was afraid his wife might find out.
Jack shook his head, he didn't really care about that, when they finished their breakfast, they left for his office.
In the Bamboo Grove at the Four Impressions Club.
Steve was so excited that he didn't sleep the whole night, his eyes were covered with a spider net of blood vessels, but even that couldn't hide his excitement.
Until now he still felt like walking in a dream about what happened last night.
He had worked so many years, begging the Hughes, but every time Mr. Ward had kept him outside.
But everything turned when his daughter brought Jack to him.
Now that this relationship was established, he had no doubt that his company would survive this current situation as long as the Hughes were willing to help.
The Hughes family were not the only ones who could help him, but in his mind, they were the best fit.
"You haven't slept the whole night, shouldn't you take a rest?"
Rosie came into the room, and looked at Steve worried.
"I am not tired, I couldn't be more awake!"
Steve stretched himself, and said to her, "We should get ready, later in the evening we will have dinner at the in laws house."
"Look at you, you used to command Jack around, right now he only proposed to Amber, and you are already calling him your son in law."
"He already proposed, the wedding won't be far away."
Steve laughed, then his face changed, "This is not my fault, I am Amber's father, even if I knew that he was the Hughes son, I would still command him around, this is a matter of principles."
"Alright, alright, I know you love Amber."
Rosie sighed, "You two, one of you is still asleep, and the other one is still awake, what should I do with you."
There was a knocking on the gate.
Steve went over to open it.
It was Minister Mable outside.
"Minister Mable, do you need something so early in the morning?"
Steve was a little surprised, Minister Marble was a busy man, he always had a lot of things to do.
Even when Steve was in the Four Impressions Club, he hardly ever saw him, especially not so early.
Minister Mable laughed, "I am here to speak with you about something."
The two of them went into the room when Rosie already put on some tea and biscuits.
After they sat down, Minister Mable started eating quite fast, he seemed as if he hadn't taken his breakfast yet.
If so, there was the possibility of offending the Hughes.
Even if the head of the Hughes family didn't mind him, Madam Hughes, no, anyone in the Hughes family only had to use the power of their name to ruin Steve.
Steve was now entangled, "So you want me to tell Amber to break up with Jack?"
Minister Mable was startled, then he smiled bitterly, "Rather destroy ten houses than to break up a marriage. I am just telling you, before anything has been settled, you shouldn't go ahead with your plans yet, you don't want to offend the Hughes family, that might bring you some trouble."
"But you have already made it so clear, I cannot put my hopes on Jack, his family does not recognize him, even if his birth father does, it doesn't matter."
Steve took a deep breath and sighed, "You know, in those kind of families, even if the person is the head of the family, he doesn't have all of the say."
"That is also why you need to make a choice, either Amber needs to break up with Jack, or you just bet on it!"
Minister Mable's eyes were deep, "But even if you bet on it, you still have hope to win, because in this family, Jack only needs the head to recognize him as a Hughes, because he has given Jack the qualifications of being his heir."
His voice was low and deep, but his clang was strong.
When he spoke, Minister Mable remembered the scene when Patrick was behind the bamboo shoots pushing Madam Hughes.
Jack had hope as long as he had the support of Patrick.
As long as he had the qualification to be the Hughes heir, before anything was determined, he had the chances to compete.
It was deadly quiet in the room.
Steve and Rosie were both in their thoughts.
After a while.
Steve started laughing, "What else could we do, Amber has already chosen, I guess we will just play high. I have done that my whole life till now, why shouldn't I take another bet with Jack?"
Minister Mable smiled, and got up, "You need to pause your business plans for a while, what is more important right now is your bet on this, if you win,you choose the right leader, and plus, you will be the heir's father in law, you will have everything."
Steve nodded.
Minister Mable walked out and said while laughing, "If I was in your shoes, I would also choose Jack, his disposition and his talent have exceeded any of the other heirs, if he won't take over the Hughes family, then it will be their downfall."
