His emotionless reply trembled Old Master Burton, who was crouching over the ground.
Lifting his head, he looked at Jack who was leaving and whined, “Jack, don’t you care about our kinship seeing me like this? I’m your mom’s father, I’m your grandpa! Only you can save the Burton family now!”
“Shut up!”
Rage flashed across Jack’s face. He turned around, “Kinship! When did you ever care about that for the past twenty years? Don’t you aware of how much suffering you’d caused my mom?”
“If I didn’t care about the kinship, I would’ve killed you with my own hands!”
“Get your ass back to the capital city. I won’t care about anymore kinship if you continue to pester me!”
Jack turned back and left in long strides.
Back then, his father returned to the Hughes family and left his mother a large sum of capital. With his mother’s capability, she would’ve been able to sustain the business if not scale it.
But what did the Burton family do?
They not only ripped his mother off, but also suppressed her from the dark to hinder her from achieving success.
They brutally forced him and his mother into a dark corner.
Burton family looked down on his mother twenty years ago. At this moment, he had become a force out of their league.
This was what people meant by karma!
“Jack… Jack…”
Old Master Burton yelled tearfully. He started to crawl after Jack.
“Dad, calm down, calm down.”
Dyson immediately got up and picked Old Master Burton up. He glared at Jack, “That jerk even wants to kill you. Why are you begging at him like that?”
“Let’s go home.” Dyson felt bad looking at his father weeping in despair.
Even though triggered, he understood his father was actually trying to find a sanctuary for the Burton family.
But as a son, he just couldn’t take it.
“We’ll go back to the capital city tomorrow. I won’t let you get anymore insult even if it means the end of the Burton family!”
Dyson took Old Master Burton into the car and followed in.
The Bentley turned around and drove down the mountain.
“They had left, Young Master.” Brent took a glance over his shoulder.
Jack nodded coldly, “Disgusting.”
Brent didn’t say anything and just followed behind him.
It was late in the evening.
Back in the president suite at Tyson Hotel.
With bloodshot eyes, Old Master Burton sat on the sofa in a trance.
Dyson sat beside him in exhaustion. He didn’t dare to fall asleep even though he felt his eyelids were heavy as lead.
Ever since they left TM Villa District.
Old Master Burton had been sitting blankly at this spot.
The head of the Burton family, once a goliath in the capital city, put away all his pride and knelt in front of his grandchild at such an old age.
It must have been a huge blow to him!
Dyson was afraid Old Master Burton might take his own life out of the immense psychological pressure, so he guarded beside him.
He was hit by a strong wave of sleepiness.
His eyelids were dropping down like lead.
Dyson relentlessly pinched his own thigh and woke himself up with the pain.
Looking at the clock, it was two in the morning.
He couldn’t help it anymore, “Go to sleep, dad.”
Old Master Burton didn’t move an inch but blinked slowly with his swollen eyelids.
Filled with helplessness and rage, Dyson rubbed his own cheek and tried to stay awake.
He didn’t dare to fall asleep.
His sleepiness grew stronger as the time passed.
He couldn’t resist it anymore no matter how hard he pinched his thigh or rubbed his face.
Without himself knowing, Dyson closed his eyes.
Pfft!
A soft sound was heard.
But it was loud as thunder under the complete silence in the room.
Dyson woke up with a shiver.
His gaze shot towards Old Master Burton the moment he opened his eyes.
Taking a look, he was totally stunned. His face twisted.
