Winner Takes All novel Chapter 34

Leaving Mr. Ward, Jack returned to his rented house with Brent.

Brent was shocked by the condition of the house.

“Is it too shabby?” asked Jack.

“No. It seems that you’ve gone through a lot,” replied Brent.

Jack was amazed by Brent’s personality.

He then felt relieved for he would have to be with Brent for a long time.

“I bought a new house. We’ll be able to move in next month,” said Jack.

Brent nodded.

He didn’t care much about the living environment. He only cared for living.

Actually his life had dramatically changed after he was employed by the Hughes family.

When he was still a warrior, he lived alongside sword and shield and even never thought of life.

He had gone through the worst of the worst. There hadn’t been much change since Brent arrived.

Jack wasn’t worried about the people in the family business. He even added an exercise session to his daily routine.

Over the past few years, he had devoted to working and taking care of his mom Sophie.

So he wanted to pick it up since he had more time now.

But what Mr. Ward said to him really made him uncomfortable.

‘I missed the elite cultivation of the family, so I can’t be an elite?’

‘Or I’m inferior to those so-called elites from the family?’

He didn’t buy this anymore.

He knew that he had suffered from tremendous stress and pain.

Except himself, only Sophie understood how tough it was.

So he led his life and let those who judged him shut up.

As the sun rose, Jack went jogging at a park nearby.

He was drenched in sweat, but he didn’t stop.

The park was empty before Jack arrived.

He had scheduled his exercise as early as possible to maximize his work time even if he had to sacrifice his sleep.

On the paths of the park, the street lamps were still on.

He saw something moving in the dark.

A man appeared right in front of him and suddenly rushed towards him.

“Who is that?” Jack shouted.

He thought that was a robber.

The man laughed.

“Show me what you got, bastard!”

That was the man from the Hughes family! He had been trying to find Jack.

Jack was shocked.
