Winner Takes All novel Chapter 148

The Rolls-Royce was speeding on the road, and Jack was in the driver’s seat with his eyes trained on the road ahead while Mr. Ward was seat on the passenger’s seat.

Brent was holding Daisy in the backseat. He was comforting her gently.

His soft demeanour was a far cry from his infuriated and blood-seeking self just some time ago.

Daisy was curled up in Brent’s embrace, and she was crying silently.

Perhaps she had been crying too much to the point that she could no longer produce any sound. Only her tears were trickling down her cheeks.

Her hands were clutching Brent’s sleeves tightly.

Mr. Ward watched them through the rear-view mirror and said with an amused smile on his lips, “You are really shameless.”

Jack couldn’t help but chuckle while covering the rear-view mirror.

Then, he pressed a button that activated a screen that came in between the front and rear part of the car. They were now separated from Brent and Daisy completely as if they were in two different worlds.

Mr. Ward raised his brows and asked, “Is it wrong for me to steal a look at them?”

“You are peeking into others’ privacy.” Jack rolled his eyes, “If you are making out with an old lady in her seventies and I am just right beside you, would you feel comfortable?”

Mr. Ward dismissed Jack with a laugh, “I only have my eyes on young eighteen-year-old women.”

After some joking amongst themselves, they were able to get some pent-up anger off their chest and returned to their normal self.

Mr. Ward stopped smiling while turning around to face Jack. He patted Jack lightly on his shoulders while pointing backwards.

He was obviously asking for Jack’s opinion on how to deal with Daisy after this.

Jack understood immediately and flashed a smile, “She is still my mother’s daughter after all.”

Mr. Ward nodded and stopped digging around this topic.

After returning to the city, it was already three in the morning.

Jack didn’t go back to TM Villa District immediately, but instead headed to a late-night coffee shop nearby.

He wouldn’t estrange Daisy just yet, but he figured it was time to dig deep into certain things.

Before that, he made a call to his mother to announce his safe arrival at home.

In their call, at the mention of Daisy, Sophie sounded considerably more at ease. She just reminded Jack to get home after everything was said and done.

In the coffee shop, everything was blanketed in silence.

Only a few lamps were on, which cast a shadowy glow around the room.

It was already dawn, but there were still two person sitting in the corner of the room. They seemed to be minding their own businesses with their earphones on, silently relishing the peacefulness of the night.

Daisy was already in a much calmer state.

She was holding a cup of coffee while leaning against the wall.

At the moment, her eyes were bulging because of too much crying, and her face was deathly pale.

Jack and the others felt sorry for her.

In reality, Daisy was not that bad-looking. Although she couldn’t hold a candle to Amber, what with her exceptional temperament and otherworldly looks, she was still pretty to say the least.

In their daily interactions, Daisy always put on her brightest smile on her face.

However, she looked forlorn and broken at the moment as if all traces of hope had disappeared from his existence.

“Whew… Thank you so much, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Ward and Brent.”

Finally, Daisy took the initiative and broke the silence. She forced a smile and added, “If you guys were not by my side, I would have been long dead.”

She was not talking about literal death, but rather something even worse than death.

“You are one of us. Why are you standing on ceremony?” Jack revealed a faint smile.

Daisy lowered her head and began her story.

Jack and the others listened intently.
