Winner Takes All novel Chapter 190

The voice was attractive and calm but it was like thunder in everyone’s ears. Every of the Burton family member looked very dismayed. Old Master Burton looked sinister with both his fists tightly clenched.

Jack saw the man walking over slowly. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he saw his own father. He was handsome with an upright posture. It was hard to believe that this was a middle-aged man. There was a strong sense of authority in his eyes while he grinned confidently. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Jack had seen a lot of people of authority. The strongest person will not get flustered easily. But his father’s elegance and charm must have been accumulated over the years as the head of the Hughes family.

What moved Jack was what his father said!

“Old Master.” Mr. Ward and Brent bowed respectfully in unison.

Patrick nodded and walked to Jack. The father and son were equally tall and their smile looked the same but there was a huge difference in their presence.

“Jack.” Patrick was apologetic, “I didn’t expect that the first time we meet would be under such circumstances and at this fucked up place.”

He said “fucked up place” with deep contempt. All the Burton family members were furious but kept their mouths shut.

Jack suddenly felt at a loss when he met his father. His mind was blank and it was a very strange feeling.

In the past, he was very discontented with his father but once he understood these things, his attitude took a drastic change. For countless times he had thought about how he would react and say when he met his father. But after numerous times when the meeting did not occur, it made him murmur and didn’t know what to say.

Patrick smiled warmly and gently patted Jack’s shoulders. He then glanced at the people around and raised his eyebrows, “Trying to bully the few? Old Burton, do you think that you can do this to me without consequences?”

“Patrick, listen to my explanation…” Old Master Burton pretended to be calm.

“What’s there to explain? Mr. Hughes, just look at Brent and me. Both of us stopped all these guards. If I didn’t stab some of them and hold them back, perhaps your precious son is already beaten to death by them!” Yael suddenly shouted and interrupted Old Master Burton. He raised his blood-stained dagger and pointed to the Burton family members, “Just look at the Burtons. Just now they surrounded Jack and Mr. Ward and almost attacked them. It’s one thing beating up your son but they even wanted to assault the elderly Mr. Ward!”

What he said caused Old Master Burton to feel nauseous. He wanted to rush forward and kill Yael with a stroke!

“You scoundrel, stop your yapping. You have no right to speak here!” Dyson Burton yelled angrily. It was obvious that Yael was stoking the flames.

Then, Yael spitted in his direction and said furiously, “I even dare to kill my own father! How dare you say that I have no right to speak here?”

“You…” Dyson’s face turned red and struggled to respond.

“Enough!” Patrick said furiously and continued coldly, “Years ago when I returned to head the Hughes family, I was severely restricted by them. Do you seriously think I don’t know that you bullied Sophie and Jack for years? I am not a person that you can fool!”

Kaboom!

It was like a lightning bolt that struck everyone when they heard this. What he said was overbearing and egotistical! But every Burton family member was dumbfounded because they knew that Patrick had the reasons to be overbearing.

“Patrick, I’m your father-in-law…” Old Master Burton said with apprehension and trepidation. At that moment, he was both angry and shocked. He didn’t expect Patrick to appear. From the moment he planned to kidnap Sophie and force Jack, he totally did not factor Patrick into his considerations. Because he knew that even if Patrick could get Jack the right to compete for the position of the heir of the family, he couldn’t directly help Jack.

Patrick did not have the final say in the Hughes family. Setting the various factions aside, Madam Hughes alone was able to impede whatever Patrick did! Just as those years when Old Master Burton forcibly took over the business left behind by Patrick, Patrick could only look helplessly as Sophie’s company was usurped and she lived in disgrace.
