Winner Takes All novel Chapter 290

It was dead silent in the living room and the tension was suffocating. Everyone felt helpless and was in despair.

Jack never felt this dejected and was like a drowning man without any hope to cling to. It was as if he was already locked in the guillotine and waiting for the blade to fall. There was no way to dodge and struggling was useless. He could only ready his neck for the execution.

His phone rang.

Jack looked at his phone and his eyes lit up. The caller was his father! Perhaps… there was some hope! Jack answered the call.

In the call, Patrick’s attractive voice was extremely solemn, “I know everything but that old woman is protecting Ivy. I am unable to use the Hughes family’s prowess to suppress the social media opinion. What do you have in mind? I’ll endeavor to help you.”

Jack laughed bitterly when Patrick asked him for a plan. Even his father was asking him if he had any idea what to do. That clearly meant that this was beyond control.

Normally these gossips and rumors were nothing among the wealthy families. As soon as the gossips began, as long as the Hughes family prowess was activated, it could easily suppress the discussions.

But it was different this time.

The opinions and discussions surged relentlessly and within a short period, it had spread throughout the social media. Furthermore, Madam Hughes was backing Ivy and constrained the Hughes family from helping suppress the social media.

“Madam Hughes and Ivy must be looking gleefully at their phones,” Jack thought.

Patrick said, “Jack, I’m sorry that I am unable to help you.”

“Dad, it’s alright. Let me think about it. If there’s a will, there’s a way.” Jack replied.

Patrick was willing to send Madam Hughes to her death. If that could help Jack, Patrick would have already done that. But this matter was huge and Patrick was unable to stop it.

“Let’s handle this together and I will do everything I can to help you.” Patrick encouraged Jack, “With me around, no one can destroy you!”

After the call ended, Jack’s gaze glimmered.

Although Mr. Ward and the rest didn’t know the details of Jack’s call with Patrick, from Jack’s expression, they knew that the situation was bad.

“Master.” Mr. Ward said softly.

“No worries, there will be a way out. Let’s take a step at a time.” Jack stretched and pretended to relax and patted his stomach, “Is there anything to eat at home? I’m starving.”

“I’ll cook breakfast.” Amelia went to the kitchen.

“Thanks, Amelia.” Jack smiled and thereafter he looked at Mr. Ward and shrugged, “You guys stop frowning. This will not kill me. I survived even when Madam Hughes and the Quinn family tried to kill me and sent me to that god forsaken black hell.”

Everyone could tell that he tried to put up a brave front. But Jack couldn’t be bothered about his acting skills now. He wasn’t someone who gave up easily and he wouldn’t wait around for his death.

There was always a chance of finding a solution, just like when he was in the black hell.

Furthermore, he had so many people worrying about him and trying to figure out a solution for him.

“Well… did you and that bitch do it?” Yael raised his eyebrows and asked, “If you really did it, then at least you got something in return. Ivy is a big celebrity and with those looks and body, it was worth it even if you die from this.”

“Fuck off!” Jack was not amused and glared at Yael.
