Winner Takes All novel Chapter 343

Killian was sullen as he looked at the hunched body in the prayer hall. He was rejoicing at Jack’s impending doom. At the Hughes residence, even angels could not protect anyone who upset grandmother.

Jack dared to barge through the manor entrance and crippled George. He should know that since his father was injured and was recuperating, Madam Hughes was temporarily the decision-maker for the Hughes family.

“Killian!” Madam Hughes said sternly.

Killian immediately bowed respectfully, “Grandma, I’m here.”

“Shut the door and entertain the guest!” Her voice was cold, sharp, and ruthless.

Killian’s eyes lit up, acknowledged loudly, and quickly turned to leave.

Inside the prayer hall.

Madam Hughes looked sinister and could send chills down anyone’s spine.

She lowered her head as she looked at scattered prayer beads on the ground and then looked up towards the golden Buddha. She muttered guiltily, “Buddha, forgive me for being ruthless as I had to discipline Jack. After today, I’ll return to cleanse myself.” She waved her hand as soon as she said.

Two young maids quickly rushed towards her to help her up and walk out of the courtyard.

At the same moment, the commotion in the Hughes Manor was building up. The Hughes family had always been high and mighty. They had enjoyed and was used to the superiority that they had over everyone else. Never had anyone dared to be so disrespectful and obnoxious at the Hughes Manor!

No matter how wealthy and powerful the person was, once he entered the Hughes Manor, he had to be humble and respectful. This was the rules of the Hughes family! They had been used to being high and mighty and today’s disrespect had caused all the Hughes family to react angrily.

From the entrance to the courtyard was a passageway that was hundreds of meters long.

At this time, the passageway was lined up on both sides by the Hughes family servants and members. The so-called family members were the lower status members and were not the elite generation nor anyone with any authority. All of them looked furious and some even expressed the desire to kill. Some of the servants even held onto weapons and ready to strike when the order was given.

The Hughes family was not to be disrespected.

The Hughes family's reputation was not to be tarnished.

The atmosphere was extremely tense. Once the order was given, mayhem would break out.

Some started to remark.

“What’s going on? When had the Hughes family suffered such disrespect?”

“Master George is one of the heirs of the family, he is the elite of the elites. By beating Master George is as good as insulting the entire Hughes family!”

“He’s digging his own grave. Does he think that he can do this without consequences?”

Around the passageway were some of the rich and powerful visitors. They were shocked to see this scene even when they had experienced all sorts of alarming events. Who in the hell dared to antagonize the Hughes family to such an extent? In their shock, the curiosity got the better of them and they tried to get a better look at the situation.

Just at this moment, a voice declared with no regard for the visitors, “The Hughes family has some issues to deal with. Those who do not belong to the Hughes family are to leave immediately!”

Kaboom!

The curious VIP visitors were shocked at the announcement.

“What happened? I, I just entered the manor!”

“I beg you all not to drive me away. I spent three years’ effort just to enter the manor. I haven’t even begun to speak. Please don’t make me leave!”

In the dead silent green passageway, this was like a huge thunderclap.

Kaboom!

All of the Hughes family were stunned. How could this person be so obnoxious to such an extent? Did he have no respect at all?

Mr. Ward and Brent were shocked and looked at Jack in disbelief. When had Master become so obnoxious? The way he belittled the Hughes family members was no different from berating the entire Hughes family. The two of them looked at Jack and took a deep breath to calm down.

At that moment, Jack totally did not take the people seriously and continued his path forward. He even smiled as he held his hands up to thank them, “I thank all of you for your warm reception.”

Mr. Ward and Brent shuddered when they saw Jack’s actions as they and Daisy followed closely behind. The rows of people remained silent as they looked on in surprise. Jack had become the focal point and was like a sharp needle that pierced into everyone’s heart. His simple statements were like a forceful slap across all of their faces. Wasn’t this clear disrespect? Insult? Total contempt?

“Kill him!” Someone among them shouted with all his might.

Just as water was being thrown into boiling oil, the sudden shout erupted the mayhem.

“Kill him! How dare he insult my Hughes family! Die!”

“How could the Hughes family be disrespected? He deserved to die!”

The crowd became riled up and Mr. Ward and Brent immediately reacted.

“Brent!” Mr. Ward yelled. Both of them stood on either side of Jack to protect him.

Mr. Ward’s face was red with fury and yelled ferociously, “This is Master Jack, the only son of the head of the Hughes family and one of the heirs. I want to see who among you dare to harm him!”
