Winner Takes All novel Chapter 172

The crisp slap was echoing in the tranquil courtyard that only had the sound of water flow.

It had no difference from thunder.

Everyone was shocked.

No one had expected Jack Hughes would suddenly slap his grandfather.

And… He simply hit his grandfather without any hesitation!

This slap made Darren Burton’s corner of his mouth bleeding. His shocked face was full of confusion.

“Old Master Burton!”

The bodyguards nearby swarm towards them.

“Stop!”

Darren yelled, “Do you all want to beat my beloved grandson?”

The bodyguards stopped their steps immediately.

“Jack…” Sophie Burton said in a panic.

However, Jack raised his hand to stop her and gave Darren an extremely cold look, “I don’t care who you are. I would hit you if you beat my Mom!”

“It was grandfather’s fault.”

Darren nodded and smiled to apologize, “Jack, are you satisfied now?”

“Are you even qualified to be my grandfather?”

Jack showed an extremely cold expression. He said with an extremely cold tune, “For more than twenty years when my Mom and I had to live in the other’s house, where were you, grandfather? My Mom and I were poor and we didn’t have enough food to eat, where were you, grandfather? When my Mom nearly died from sickness, where were you again, grandfather?”

“I…”

This questioning made Darren speechless.

“My beloved grandfather, stop nagging and go back where you came from. My Mom could tolerate you but I fucking couldn’t!”

Jack laughed at him, pulled Sophie, turned away, and left, “If you harmed my Mom, I would risk my life to deal with you even if it is extremely difficult. You are merely a grandfather, why should I care about you?”

It was brutal, domineering, and peremptory.

Yet, everyone didn’t expect this.

“Jack, don’t you want to hear why grandfather is here?” Darren suddenly became a hurry as his face was ghastly pale.

At first, he had vowed in front of Sophie as he assured Jack would definitely yield to him.

However, Jack then gave him a slap and he didn’t even have a chance to talk to him.

Darren was not willing to accept this kind of result!

“Get out!”

Jack pulled his mother. He didn’t stop his steps and said these words coldly.

The bodyguards immediately went to stop them.

However, Brent moved forward and made a sound with a cold tune. His strong and tall body gave the bodyguards a strong tension and they stopped moving.

Mr. Ward walked past Brent towards Darren.

He clasped his hands and greeted with a smile, “Old Master Burton, I have not seen you for years. Looking at your old look, I think your body is not working well, right?”

Although it was a greeting, the words were filled with sarcasm.

“If your body is working well, I think you wouldn’t be here to invite young master, right?”

Darren’s face was ghastly pale. He clenched his teeth, “Mr. Ward, you are merely a family’s servant. Is this how you talk to me? I had never seen you doing this last time!”

“Last time, you also bowed and went down on your knees in front of my old master to please him.” Mr. Ward said and smiled.

Darren had a fierce look in his eyes, “Do you think I, the Burton family, will be afraid of you?”

“Different people would have different perspectives.”

Mr. Ward turned, took a step, waved his hand, and laughed, “Old Master Burton, please drop the idea forever. You are late. Young master is a part of the Hughes family now. What young master has is a scrumptious meal, he would never go and gnaw a bone like a dog!”

“Moreover, I would like to remind Old Master Burton again. My old master had come back. Young master and Mrs. Hughes would not be easily bullied by everyone like last time. I hope you, old man, are not that dumb!”

Darren was extremely furious and he showed a fierce look while seeing Mr. Ward and Brent leave.

His body trembled as if a loud sound was heard when he gnashed his teeth.

The anger was like a volcano that had stayed in his heart a long time ago. Even with his age, he could not stop himself.

Darren wiped off blood at the corner of his mouth harshly. His face was ghastly pale and he laughed ferociously, “Good! He is truly my beloved grandson. You will bow down to me. You will definitely bow down to me!”
