Winner Takes All novel Chapter 177

Once he said, Minister Mable, Aiden, and the rest started to look unsettled.

No one was accepting Jack’s apology. Furthermore, what did Jack do wrong? He had arrived on the appointed time and was clearly not in the wrong. But it was Old Master Burton who was being oppressive.

Old Master Burton sat in place and his expression turned blue with anger. He wanted to use this occasion to impress Jack with the prowess of the Burton family. Even if in this city, he could summon all the local big wigs with a wave of his hand. In his view, Jack was unable to get these people to respond to him.

Although DT Agency had been on the rise, it was insignificant in Old Master Burton’s eyes. Wealth and connections are two different issues and connections are far more important than money! What made things worse was Jack gave him the impression of being an inexperienced young man.

This wrecked his plans.

Wham! In his anger, Old Master Burton jabbed his walking stick onto the ground.

“Aiden…” He said with his teeth clenched. Aiden’s heart skipped a beat. His odd expression turned even worse. Previously, he pledged his loyalty to Old Master Burton in order to get closer to him. But never had he expected that the key person on this occasion was Jack!

This… placed him in a very difficult spot. How was he going to navigate this?!

When Jack heard this, he scoffed and looked towards the unsettled Aiden. The last time when Aiden visited him to present his apologies, Jack had already broken his will. Now how will he still have the courage to offend Jack?

When he saw Jack’s stare, Aiden became very restless. He got up in a hurry and turned to Old Master Burton, “Old Master, Jack had arrived on time and wasn’t considered impolite. I think we can just let this issue pass.”

“You…” Old Master Burton’s face turned red and glared at Aiden in anger. Aiden’s compromise at the expense of principles and angered him even more. What did he say earlier and now what was he saying? He wanted to oppress Jack to show him that even if he was wealthy, to the Burton family, he was as insignificant as an ant.

But now Aiden started to compromise and what he intended to do could not continue.

Old Master Burton took a deep breath and suppressed his fury. He narrowed his eyes to look at those present and demanded, “What do you all think?”

“Mr. Lott is right!” Minister Mable was first to speak.

Old Master Burton’s pupil constricted.

“Jack came on time and doesn’t count as being rude.” Director Lansing added.

Old Master Burton started to frown deeply.

Since Minister Mable and Director Lansing had already spoken, the rest of those present also quickly nodded in support.

Old Master Burton ground his teeth in anger. Since everyone had forgiven Jack, he couldn’t continue to stubbornly persist.

Old Master Burton looked at Jack coldly and said, “You disrespectful and unfilial young man, it’s your mother’s fault for not teaching you manners. Since everyone is so magnanimous, this issue is considered settled!”

However.

“Pfft!” Jack was scoffed. Although he was laughing, he became increasingly cold. His dashing and handsome face became frosty.

Smack! A hand slapped onto the table.

Jack stood up and pointed to Old Master Burton and said, “What right do you have to rebuke me for being unfilial? My mother brought me up very well. I don’t need you an outsider to find fault with me!” The atmosphere in the room immediately tensed up.

Minister Mable and the rest frowned and looked extremely uncomfortable. It was not so much about Jack’s sudden reprimand of Old Master Burton. They were not fools. All of them could tell that Jack and Old Master Burton had an ongoing grudge.

How could they enjoy this meal? They would be lucky if the table wasn’t flipped out of anger.

“How dare you! I’m your grandfather!” Old Master Burton yelled as he panted.

“Scumbag grandfather!” Jack was full of contempt.

If it wasn’t for Old Master Burton’s threat, he would not even come for this dinner. Even if he came, he wasn’t here to be made a fool of! The Old Master Burton kept berating him and insulting his mother as if he was so virtuous and morally superior.

Fuck you! You shameless fool!
