Winner Takes All novel Chapter 179

Amber trembled and she became extremely curious. She took a step forward and asked curiously, “Where?”

Once she asked, Jack grinned mischievously and Amber was stunned and came to her senses. Immediately her face blushed in red and she said angrily, “You pervert! What are you thinking? My parents and uncles are here!”

“What if they’re not?” Jack laughed as he tapped on Amber’s nose.

Amber’s cheeks were red hot and she looked down shyly and didn’t say a word.

Jack laughed and stopped teasing Amber, “Come, I’ll go in and greet your parents and the uncles. What happened just now was indeed rather awkward.”

“You are getting increasingly perverted.” Amber glared coyly at Jack who was walking towards the hall.

Brent heard what Amber said and he laughed and said, “Master Hughes can’t be considered a pervert if he does it with his wife.”

“Brent, hush!” Amber stomped her feet in embarrassment.

Brent shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and quickly ran to catch up with Jack.

Amber remained in position and wrung her hands and muttered, “How can that not be considered perverted?”

Jack entered the hall and saw Steve, Minister Mable, and Director Lansing drinking tea. As they saw Jack entering, Minister Mable and Director Lansing stood up together and smiled awkwardly.

“Jack, I’m really sorry about what happened just now.” Minister Mable spoke first, “I am to be blamed for not making sure of it first.”

Jack laughed and waved, “Uncle Mable, it’s alright. I have to thank you and Uncle Lansing for backing me up.” Minister Mable and Director Lansing were very relieved to hear this. For what happened just now, they would have backed Jack even if he wasn’t the heir of the Hughes family. After all, this was their friend’s son-in-law.

QY International Group need not fear the Burton family of the Capital. Similarly, for the two of them, one was the most powerful in the city while the other was a giant in the medical field. They didn’t have to be worried over the Burton family who was far away at the Capital.

“It was a misunderstanding. Everything’s fine once it’s properly explained.” Steve smiled and welcomed everyone to sit down.

Once Jack sat down, Steve asked curiously, “Jack, are you really Old Master Burton’s grandson?”

On hearing this, Minister Mable and Director Lansing also looked curiously at Jack. Although they were present for what happened just now, they were still very curious about Jack’s background.

Someone who had been born and raised in this city and struggled with his single mother for more than twenty years and suddenly became the heir of the Hughes family. This itself was enough of an extraordinary change. Now he was also the grandson of Old Master Burton and related to the richest family in the Capital.

The secrets of Jack’s past intrigued Steve, Minister Mable, and Director Lansing.

Jack nodded in confirmation.

He shrugged and smiled bitterly, “It’s indeed true but that was the past. From the moment when I was born, I was no longer part of that family.”

“What do you mean?” Steve was Jack’s future father-in-law whose status was closer to Jack than Minister Mable and Director Lansing. So he asked without feeling restricted.

“I weathered all the storms and hardships with my mother for more than twenty years. All that we’ve suffered were due to the Burton family!” Jack didn’t want to go into details. His mother didn’t like to recall the past and neither did he.

Grandfather? Piss off! He once felt disgusted with the term father and never expected that the term grandfather was far more offensive.

Steve and the other two uncles all looked stunned.
