The following days.
Jack Hughes became busy again leading the project of DT real estate agency.
He and Yael Quinn would also build up the framework of the financial company. The follow-up matter would only need to be led by Yael.
He didn’t care about any matter from the capital city caused by the Burton family.
He wasn’t related to that kind of Burton family even if they reached their end or were close to death.
He had only two places to go every day, which were his home and the company. Amber Knight would come to TM Villa District to accompany Sophie every day since the incident.
Sometimes, she would learn to cook from Daisy Hill.
It was simple and happy and it made Jack feel sweet.
However, it didn’t mean Jack could keep out of the affair even though he didn’t care about the matter caused by the Burton family.
In the evening.
Jack, Mr. Ward, Brent, and Yael sat on the balcony while drinking beer and enjoying the night wind.
The balcony at the rooftop of the villa became a place for them to chill and rest in their free time.
“Young master, the matters that arise from the capital city are pretty huge.” Mr. Ward murmured.
Jack smiled and didn’t comment about it.
Yael drank a mouthful of beer and said, “The Burton family has been the richest family of the capital city for so many years. I think there are many people who want to have that position. This time, Jack and Mr. Hughes had ripped off the ‘skin’ of the Burton family. Those people would definitely take down the Burton family while it is in trouble.”
He shrugged his shoulders as he said, “The Quinn family from X city was also wanted to be taken down by a lot of people secretly.”
Mr. Ward curled his lips and looked at the night sky, “I don’t care about the matters from the capital city. Yet, they are slowly coming in our way.”
Jack frowned and looked at Mr. Ward with a shocking look.
He indeed did not care about the Burton family. Even if the capital city was in the eyes of the storm, he would still stay in his position patiently.
However, if the ‘storm’ was blown towards them, at last, he and DT real estate agency would definitely be dragged into the vortex.
It was not yet the time to fight against the powerful forces from the capital city with his current power.
Yael’s expression became serious too.
As a part of the Quinn family, he clearly knew about the fight among rich families and forces.
“The matter during that night was too big. The capital city is full of powerful forces. It would be too easy for them to clearly investigate the matter.”
Yael frowned and murmured, “Jack, what do you think about this matter?”
“I could only watch and not do anything.”
Jack self-mocked and laughed, “The ‘storm’ of the capital city came and stayed at this small DT real estate agency. I have no other measures besides only looking at it.”
“Young master does not have to worry about it. After all, the head of the Hughes family and the entire Hughes family still have your back.” Brent said and comforted.
Yael frowned and said, “Even though the Burton family knows Jack’s background, didn’t they still kidnap Mrs. Hughes.”
Brent was speechless.
However, Mr. Ward smiled, “It’s fine. We will just see how things change.”
…
The next morning.
After Jack and Brent had their monstrous training, they had breakfast and prepared to go to the company.
However, an invitation letter was sent to the house door by the security guard of the TM Villa District.
After opening the invitation letter, Jack suddenly felt a little upset.
“Why does it come so fast?”
“Is it from the capital city?” Mr. Ward frowned and asked.
Jack nodded and sighed helplessly, “It is from the Vaughn family from the capital city. They invite me to an auction in the city tonight.”
“An auction?”
Mr. Ward was stunned, then he immediately smiled and said, “Since it is an invitation to an auction, they should have come with a good intention.”
Jack hesitated for a while and said, “Mr. Ward, let’s talk about the Vaughn family in the car.”
Having immersed himself in the real estate industry for three years, he still clearly knew about families involved in the real estate industry.
However, he had to ask Mr. Ward about the other rich families outside this industry.
The Rolls Royce was driven towards DT real estate agency.
In the car, Mr. Ward started narrating, “Young Master, the Vaughn family is considered to have a pretty clean family background. Its power is not that big in the capital city. It specializes in the film and entertainment industry. After three generations of hard work, it seemed to be one of the few tops in the industry. Now, they have cooperated with international film companies.”
Weak power.
