Winner Takes All novel Chapter 307

In the lobby of the airport in the outskirts of the city, Amber was sitting on a chair with a tired look. Her brows were all knitted up giving an impression that she was deep in thought.

On her side, Daisy was yawning non-stop too. She looked exhausted.

Everything happened so suddenly and it was still so early in the morning. After all, they had been woken up from their dreams and were told to travel to the other side of the ocean.

Daisy glanced at Amber and asked, “Amber, why do I have a feeling that you’re bothered by something on your mind?”

Amber came back to reality slightly and replied, “Daisy, did you feel that there is something off about Jack?”

“Nothing of that sort.”

Daisy shook her head and added, “If there is something wrong with someone, that has to be Brent. When he woke me up this morning, he had such a terrible look on his face. It’s not like I had offended him.”

“My intuition tells me that Jack is hiding something from me.”

Amber was still mulling over something but she fully believed Jack’s promise.

In their four years of university days together, she was practically inseparable from Jack. She was able to return to his side after waiting anxiously for three whole years, and in the end she ended up thinking for Jack more than thinking for herself.

Due to her focus on him, she knew him very well and due to her understanding of him, her premonition that something was off was getting stronger by the minute.

“Amber, stop thinking too much. Isn’t Mr. Hughes doing just fine?” Daisy tried to console her, “He loves you very much, so if there is something really bothering him, why would he hide that from you?”

The wrinkles on Amber’s forehead deepened upon hearing that, “I can’t suggest anything concrete about my feelings, but since I’m his wife, perhaps this is my sixth sense as a woman.”

Daisy said helplessly, “Are you just feeling upset and shaken after being sent home by Mr. Hughes? Actually, Mr. Hughes had the right line of thought all along. Think about it, since your marriage, so much had happened which caused you not to be able to return home even once. Isn’t it tradition to go back to your home after getting married?”

“Even if that’s true, did you ever see a bride returning home by herself?”

Amber’s sudden questions successfully rendered Daisy speechless.

At the moment, an announcement blared from the speaker in the lobby.

“Let’s go, it’s time to board the plane.”

Daisy picked up her luggage and said with a smile, “You should stop overthinking.”

Amber still had her brows knitted and her sense of uneasiness only grew stronger by the minute.

She turned around and glanced at the scenery outside the airport while the announcement made by the airport continued to play in the air. In the end, she let out a sigh and followed Daisy to board the plane.

Outside the airport, Jack was alone in his Porsche 911 and something seemed to be weighing heavily in his heart.

With a loud clanking sound, the car door was swung open and in came Brent who was soaked in sweat.

“Are they gone?” Jack asked.

“I saw with my own eyes the young lady and Daisy entering the corridor to the departure point.” Brent replied.

Jack revealed a relieved smile on his face as he started the engine.

Amber was finally gone, and the heavy feeling he had been carrying with him could finally be released.

The assassination order given out by the Dark Net had exposed him in an all-encompassing fatality.

There was no way he would allow Amber to experience that kind of danger by being with him.

He would love his woman and never exposed her to dangerous situations.

As her husband, Jack felt that he had to uphold a husband’s responsibility.

At that moment, using lies to steer Amber away was his one and only way to protect her.

As his Porsche sped on the road, Jack had a grim expression on his face.

The Dark Net and his imminent assassination were like a storm brewing in the distance, threatening to overwhelm him in one fell swoop.

While he was on guard all the time, there was nothing he could do to improve his chances.

What was coming next for him was perhaps even more cruel and heart-wrenching than his days in the Black hell.

“Young master, Mr. Ward called just now to inform that he has summoned all his security personnel to his side. There is a total of a hundred men gathered.”
