The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 362

With the Hughes family's prestige to dominate the world, extravagant gifts were indeed normal.

Billions and tens of billions were not enough.

But after all, it was to make trouble under a certain pretext.

To give out one billion, his father could use the excuse of guilt.

But giving ten billion using this excuse again, it will not be able to stop the mouths of the Hughes family .

Now that Amber was pregnant, it happened to be an excuse for his father.

Even if it was a bit far-fetched, it was definitely more irrefutable than calling it pocket money.

When he was at the Hughes house once before, Jack saw clearly the Hughes family’s infighting.

Madam Hughes was the one who was standing on the top of the family, putting pressure as being the elder generation.

There were peers of the same generation in power, that was raging.

The Hughes family was really not like the rest of the wealthy families, it was the owner of the family that had the say.

Mr. Ward smiled with joy and nodded, "Yes, the one-year deadline is just around the corner. Young Master is inherently in an inadequate position, and he is not better than the other elite heirs. In order for the young master to have a better performance, Patrick can only give him as much financial support as he could."

After a pause, Mr. Ward said again, "Actually , when I gave the old Master the good news last night, he had already hinted, the young lady must feel a little wronged in that matter."

Jack was stunned, feeling guilty in his heart.

Indeed, to celebrate Amber for being pregnant as an excuse, but really to support him, this was indeed unfair to Amber .

"I'm don't feel wronged."

Amber shook her head and smiled, "I was afraid of the tens of billions as a gift. Now that I know the real reason, I feel at ease."

As she said that, Amber leaned on Jack's shoulder and said softly, "I am your wife. Of course I hope to see you fly higher. You should have greater ambitions. I am happy for you. How could I feel wronged."

"Thank you." Jack smiled relieved.

What has he done to have a great wife like her?

"Big dummy." Amber gave a grimaced look, lowered her head and stroked her belly, and said softly, "But you have to promise me to work hard! This is a gift from the grandfather of the child. If you fail, I won't forgive you."

"Don't worry, for you and our child, I will definitely be the head of the Hughes family!"

Jack's eyes were firm.

Mr. Ward smiled strangely as he saw this and left the room.

Then he closed the door.

Jack and Amber froze at the same time, glanced at each other and suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Ward must be thinking something dirty again."

"He's getting less and less serious." Amber said grotesquely.

Jack said, "He has never been."

It was almost noon.

Yael and Amelia came to the Bamboo Grove.

Knowing that Amber was pregnant, Yael immediately pushed Jack to agree for him to be the godfather of the child, and Jack readily agreed.

There were two good news.

Firstly, Amber being pregnant, and secondly, the Assassin Squad canceled the task of assassinating Jack.

Under the suggestion of Mr. Ward and Yael, everyone helped to prepare a celebration banquet.

Jack also called Lone Wolf over and arranged a banquet to entertain all security personnel.

Everyone has been suppressed for too long this time, and they were always in a tense atmosphere of the assassination.

Now that the cloud had passed and the moon was clear, all their depression should be released.

In the evening, the Bamboo Grove was brightly lit.

There were cheers and laughter.

A large table full of people, toasting and drinking.

In the lobby of the club house outside the Bamboo Grove, the seats were all filled, immersed in a beaming atmosphere.

After a pause, he blinked and said meaningfully, "Don't you think these things are linked together, from beginning to end, there was someone secretly playing with those idiots from the Burton family to gather all the attention on me?"

"No matter how you think about it, it is all the same person, or the same power."

Yael frowned thoughtfully, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said in doubt, "It's hard to figure out why Ghost would want to kill your dad."

Jack fell silent.

In fact, not only now, since the Burton family commissioned Assassin Squad to release the mission, he had been wondering who was secretly pushing this situation.

When he went to the Hughes family, he was continuously thinking about Ghost's purpose of attacking his father.

He could figure out that the previous things were all done by one person, or by one power.

But when Ghost turned his gun, ht logic stopped abruptly, it made no sense.

Slightly drunk, Jack shook his head. The more his thoughts turned, the more dizzy and swelling his head felt because of the drinks.

"Okay, let's stop thinking about it."

Yael saw that Jack was very drunk and shook his head and said, "I'll take you back. Don't drink too much since Amber is pregnant. The party is almost over. Mr. Ward and I have arrangements for the second half of the night."

"Are you exchanging techniques?" Jack got up and walked into the hall.

Yael smiled, "It's just the two of us, why are you pretending? On the surface, it's exchanging techniques, what's done behind all that is just the usual business."

Jack smiled even more happily.

But after he took two steps forward, he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore, and stopped in place.

Yes.

Wasn't what they did secretly the same old business?

The death of old Master Burton, the assassination mission that got out of the dark web, and Ghost attacking his father. Isn't this all this on the surface?

But someone, or some kind of power, existed secretly.

Looking at the surface of the matter of Ghost attacking and killing his father was not clear, but what if the matter itself was a secret deal?
