Winner Takes All novel Chapter 310

“Scum, you still dare to call?” Once the call went through, the other side began to berate. It was Dyson’s voice.

Jack expected that all the Burton family thought that he had killed Old Master Burton and Dyson’s reaction was normal. Compared to the Dark Net Assassin Squad hit orders on him, this outburst was nothing.

Jack said calmly, “His death had nothing to do with me.”

“Haha, nothing to do with you? Are you joking?” Dyson’s voice was furious, “I heard clearly what you said that night at the TM villa main entrance. Just saying that it had nothing to do with you and you think that my father will rest in peace? Oh, something’s wrong. Aren’t you very capable? Aren’t you better than the rest of us? Why are you saying something like this?”

His words became lofty and full of disdain.

Dyson continued to say, “Oh, I know, you scumbag must have found out about the hit order by the Dark Net Assassin Squad. Afraid now? It’s too late. The moment you killed your grandfather, even if the Burton family is torn apart and devastated, I’d want you to be buried just as my father is!”

The series of questioning showed that Dyson was now in control. The arrogance of the Burton family when dealing with Jack was back again.

“Fool!” Jack yelled and ended the call.

He scratched his head in frustration and was annoyed with himself for making the call. He wanted the Burton family to wake up to the situation but he had neglected a very important issue. The Burton family members were all fools!

Otherwise, in a family who was so conservative and proud of their lineage, why was Old Master Burton so determined to have him as an outsider to take over the Burton family?

Old Master Burton must have clearly understood the capabilities of all the family members and that was why he looked for Jack to save the Burton family.

Jack took a deep breath as he played with his phone.

He could only manage the company’s matters remotely. This morning he had already sent Amber and Daisy to the airport. He also had made the necessary arrangements at DT.

The financial company had Yael and Amelia to manage.

The entertainment company had Ciara and her assistants.

That left him with nothing to do.

Knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door.

“Master, time for lunch.”

“I’m coming.” Jack got up to have lunch with Brent downstairs.

What puzzled Jack was from where did Brent bring a machine and placed it beside the table.

“Master, this is an inspection system. In the future, all your meals and water must be tested by this machine before you eat them.” Brent said and continued, “This was delivered by the Hughes office. We must be extra careful in these crucial times.”

Wasn’t this done for the Emperors in the past?

Jack laughed but then again, it was more stringent than for the Emperors. They simply used silver needles to inspect the dishes for the Emperors.

Jack and Brent began to eat after they sat down. Only two of them sat at the huge table. There were three simple dishes with a bowl of soup placed in front of them. Compared to the past, the house was cold and empty. But Jack was clear that with this cold and emptiness could they avoid the impending dangers.

Before the dust settled, he could only endure.

“Master, the security team will arrive in the evening. I will then organize them to set up the security inside and outside the villa.”

Brent said calmly, “When it is fully set up, this villa will become a fort and you won’t have anything to worry about.”
