The Maybach was parking quietly at the gate of TM Villa District.
Old Master Burton was sitting in the back seat, his eyes dark, his right index finger gently tapping on the cane.
"This might be the last we can do."
He had to do everything for the Burton family.
Otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to peculate without even hesitating when he coveted the business and money that Patrick left for Jack and Sophie.
In his mind, the Burton's family was the most important.
His daughter was just a case for losing money.
"Master, she’s coming." The driver said.
Sophie came towards the car from the villa district, her expression looked dark.
She held on tight to the phone in her hand.
Sophie looked at the Maybach with a complicated gaze.
This will be the last time, from today on, they won't ever have any entanglement.
That's what Sophie was thinking when she slowly walked towards the Maybach.
The window was scrolled down.
Old Master Burton, who had a dark expression up until that moment, now looked much softer when he looked at Sophie with a smile.
"Hop on, today I will leave this place and go back to the capital city."
"There is no need." Sophie shook her head, "You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore since what you have done all those years ago."
"Do you hate me?"
Old Master Burton raised his brows and smiled.
Sophie's eyes were filled with anger, and nodded hard.
Old Master Burton shook his head, "I did all that for our family."
Sophie suddenly felt it was ridiculous.
For the Burton's family, and he let down Jack and Sophie.
Where was the logic?
"You have seen me, you can go now."
Sophie said coldly, turned and was about to go back.
Suddenly, she heard a cold voice behind her.
"You won't be able to leave, come home with me!"
Sophie trembled, her expression changed.
In that moment, she tried to run away.
But the car door suddenly opened, a guard was prepared and put his hands on her mouth, pulling her into the car forcefully.
Sophie wanted to fight back, but she was too weak, she couldn't get away.
She couldn't even call out to the guards at the gate.
"If you don't go home, Jack will never give in."
Old Master Burton laughed coldly, "You left your home more than 20 years ago, it's time to go back and pray to your ancestors."
The Maybach started it's engine, and drove down the hill.
From beginning to end, the parking place of the car had helped Old Master Burton react fast enough without drawing the guard's attention on him.
...
It was about 11am when the airplane landed in X City.
When they got out of the airport a BMW drove to them from the parking lot, Brent had arranged it.
They got into the car and Mr. Ward said, "Bring us to Southern Hotel."
"Hotel?"
Jack looked at Mr. Ward surprised, "Aren't we going to the Quinn's?"
"Yael is very special, he doesn't live at home." Mr. Ward smiled strangely.
Special?
Jack knitted his brows as he thought about that, last night, when Mr. Ward told him about Yael, he used the same word.
Now that he mentioned it again, it made Jack think.
The Quinn family and the Hughes family are deadly enemies, even though the two families weren't even on the same level, it never got in the way of them going against each other, there are always areas to get into each other's hair in the business world.
With that background, he thought it wasn't right to ask them for help.
He already thought of that last night, but Mr. Ward seemed very determined, so he kept it to himself.
