Winner Takes All novel Chapter 194

Patrick Hughes had left.

He came in a sudden, and left in a sudden too.

This had made Jack Hughes who just calmed down and came back to his senses feel disappointment.

Sophie Burton saw through Jack’s mind and she smiled softly, “Your Dad is waiting for us to go back home.”

Those simple words had another meaning.

There was light glowing in Jack’s eyes.

He held his fists secretly.

He and his mother had stayed and lived together for more than twenty years.

He must walk through the door of the Hughes family fair and square to let his Mom enjoy the honor that should have belonged to her.

No one talked that night.

In the morning, the rain had stopped.

Jack and the others hurriedly left the capital city.

The Burton family would definitely cause tides in the capital city for everything that had happened last night.

In Jack’s eyes, the capital city had become a huge vortex after last night.

They would be dragged into the vortex if they were to stay any longer.

He didn’t feel good about the Burton family at all.

He only had disgust, anger, and hatred towards them.

Even if the Burton family was willing to let him be the head of their family, he would rather fight hard for the small chance to head the Hughes family.

He had no intention to be dragged into the vortex caused by the Burton family.

In fact, everything happened according to what Jack had thought of.

After last night, all the big forces had clearly investigated the reason behind what happened in the Burton family last night.

Even though Patrick’s appearance was not earth-shattering, it was enough to shock the whole city.

All forces were also shocked by Patrick’s appearance.

This was because the Hughes family had higher status compared to the Burton family even though the latter was the richest in the capital city.

Some talented people from the forces had reacted rapidly in the shock.

When the stock market opened, the stock price of the companies under the Burton family had dropped dramatically together.

Furthermore, some hidden forces had prepared to make moves at the capital city.

In the Ancient Castle Villa of the Burton family.

After the bomb attack last night, Ancient Castle Villa was in a state of devastation.

The wall of the yard collapsed. The large garden was destroyed too.

The ancient castle was the only thing remaining.

If Old Master Burton hadn’t made the final resolution quick, the ancient castle would have been bombed too.

The Burton family, who was mysterious and splendid, seemed to have met its death as the setting sun.

Everyone from the Burton family was terrified and upset.

Everything that happened last night had completely destroyed the pride of the members of the Burton family.

In a luxurious room in the ancient castle.

Old Master Burton sat silently by the window with a burning cigar in his hand.

From this angle, he could clearly see the devastation of the garden.

Old Master Burton’s eyes looked red and tiredness could be seen on his face.

He did not sleep for the whole night. He only sat there.

Even after the night, he still had a lot of grudges.

“Father.”

Dyson Burton’s voice came behind him, “Doctor said you cannot smoke anymore.”

Old Master Burton laughed and said, “I can barely keep up with this old body. Could it be that I could live for another thousand years if I did not smoke?”

Dyson was stunned.

After hesitating for a while, he said, “Father, actually we brothers could be in charge of the Burton family. However, you refused to let go of it.”

He kept looking at Old Master Burton when he said that.

He was frightened.

As he knew that he was asking his father to elect a new head for the family.

Sophie felt the pain of her wound after Daisy hugged her and she made a grunt.

This had scared Daisy and she immediately apologized.

However, Sophie smiled and said, “It is fine. It is only a small injury, not a big deal.”

“Mom, let’s eat first.”

Jack let Daisy support his mother and he helped Yael Quinn and Mr. Ward take a seat.

There was still noise in the kitchen.

Jack looked at Daisy, “Is there someone else?”

Daisy smiled and said, “It’s Amber. After Mrs. Hughes went missing, I was frightened. After informing young master and the others, I also informed Amber. She was scared and so she came here hurriedly.”

Upon saying this, the kitchen of the door was opened.

Amber Knight who was in an apron, had a red face because of the smoke from cooking, brought out a bowl of soup.

After putting down the soup, she rubbed her hands, sat beside Sophie, and apologized, “Mrs. Hughes, I am sorry. I didn’t take good care of you when Jack was not around.”

A sudden apology.

It didn’t only daze Sophie, even Jack didn’t expect it.

However, Jack had a warm feeling in his heart.

For this matter, did Amber do anything wrong?

She lived alone and his mother was kidnapped at home. How would Amber know about this?

“Silly girl, it was my own fault. Why would you blame yourself?” Sophie said softly.

“But I am Jack’s fiancée and you are my future mother-in-law. After Jack left, I should have taken care of you but I did not, and then you were kidnapped. So, this was my fault,” Amber said seriously.

Jack and the others couldn’t help laughing.

Jack touched Amber’s high nose angrily, “You little fool, your logic is quite smooth.”

Amber wrinkled up her nose and glared at Jack.

At this very moment, Yael suddenly stood up.

He reached out his right hand towards Jack, “Jack, I would definitely make friends with you for the sake of sister-in-law.”

Jack glared at him, “Brent, beat him up!”
