Bastard?
Jack was suppressing his anger as his fists clenched with its veins throbbing. Daisy could feel his anger and couldn’t help but look at Jack in surprise. Mr. Ward and Brent’s expressions darkened to the extreme.
This was at the entrance of the Hughes Manor and had numerous visitors. By calling Jack a “bastard” was a great insult and disrespect to him. It was also indirectly insulting the Hughes family.
“Master George.” The few guards quickly greeted him.
Several visitors at the entrance also looked over. The appearance of George caused some of the visitors to be excited and fired up. But what George said had raised their curiosity and broken their train of thoughts as they continued to look on.
“George, you are one of the elite generation and also a potential heir. Isn’t what you said too disrespectful?” Mr. Ward was upset and said sternly. He could berate other servants but when he was facing a potential heir like George, he had to forcibly suppress his anger.
“Disrespectful?” George laughed with disdain and waved his hands, “Mr. Ward, are you kidding me? Bastards do not deserve any respect!”
Mr. Ward’s eyes raged with fury as soon as he said this. Brent dashed forward but was stopped by Mr. Ward.
George said sharply, “Bastards cannot enter. That’s the Hughes family regulations! This is the property of the Hughes family and anyone who does not abide by the regulations is directly challenging the Hughes family!”
He looked with disdain towards Mr. Ward and Brent, “Mr. Ward and Brent, are you trying to side with an outsider to challenge the Hughes family?”
The atmosphere became increasingly tensed at the entrance to the manor. A group of visitors looked on as they gasped and started to whisper among themselves.
“Oh, my lord! I came for dozens of times and this is the first time I’m seeing this!”
“Bastard? The man in the car is a bastard of the Hughes family?”
“Oh gosh, even though we were refused entry, at least we weren’t insulted to that degree!”
…
Mr. Ward and Brent were already raging with fury. But what George said was clearly making things difficult for them.
If Mr. Ward and Brent were to continue to push, they would be labeled as challenging the Hughes family. Even the wealthy families did not dare to antagonize the Hughes family. They were servants of the Hughes family and the consequences of challenging the Hughes family…
“Challenging the Hughes family?” Suddenly a burst of laughter broke the silence.
Everyone looked in surprise, disbelief, or shock at the person who said this.
Jack stood up and said with aggressive confidence, “So what If I challenge the Hughes family? What can you do to me?”
He was arrogant, confident, aggressive, and overbearing. His statement shocked everyone.
Gosh! Was this person insane? This statement was far too disrespectful! Even Mr. Ward and Brent were shocked by this. What Jack said directly challenged George.
