The cold atmosphere made people frightened.
Madam Hughes' face was pale, and her facial expression was struggling.
Patrick’s words were clearly referring to her.
He was asking her to die just like the day in the Bamboo Grove of the Four Impression Club.
Killian and Felix were in a cold sweat and restless as if there were sharp blades on their back.
They were quite frightened.
Since the head of the family dared to say such a thing to Madam Hughes, what were they in the eyes of the head of the family?
Mr. Ward and Brent were emotional and clenched their fists secretly.
Jack, on the other hand, had a smile on his face as he glanced at Patrick.
It was nice to have his father backing up for him.
It was the kind of feeling he had dreamt all his life.
“I cannot tolerate anyone who bullies my son, Jack.”
Patrick said coldly and looked at them in a domineering way, “Even Clay Bodhisattva has a temper. Why shouldn’t my son revolt? Madam Hughes, would you willing to do nothing and wait to be killed if you are humiliated like this?”
His words were sonorous and sharp.
Madam Hughes clenched her teeth and was almost going to spurt out blood due to the anger.
She was rarely pushed to such a situation by someone.
No matter where she went, she, as the elder in the Hughes family was high above and was always adored.
Even Patrick was respectful towards her before.
But he was now speaking to her like that because of Jack.
Madam Hughes’ bit her lips, but she did not know what to say.
However, it was her silence.
That made Patrick smile, “Looks like Madam Hughes couldn’t endure it either. So, my son was right then!”
“Patrick Hughes!”
Madam Hughes could no longer bear it, “You, the way you put this matter had cleaned up the bastard’s sins. Don’t you still respect the rules of the family as the head?”
Bang!
Patrick slammed on the armrest of his wheelchair rampantly, “The rules in the family are determined by us humans. I, Patrick, as the head of the Hughes Family, am not a coward. Do you want me to kill my son after you have humiliated him like that?”
“I will say that what my son did today was right! If you have any complaints about it, please come to me. It had been a long time since we had an elderly who had passed away for us to worship!”
The words “worship the elderly” made the whole residence silent.
It was an intense threat piercing towards her.
That managed to shut Madam Hughes’s mouth up.
Immediately.
Patrick waved his hand and called out Jack, “Brat, what are you waiting for? Come with me. Call your dad if you need to revenge the next time.”
“Sure, dad.”
Jack grinned. The coldness on his face had faded, and only the smile like the spring breeze was left on him.
While he replied, he, Mr. Ward, and Brent tagged along with Patrick.
After all of them left.
The house was still dead silent.
Patrick came as quickly as he left.
He showed his power and overbearing aura.
The pressure he exerted made everyone gasped for air and were speechless.
After a long while.
“Ruthless. The father is ruthless, so as the son!”
Madam Hughes clenched her fist, and her body was trembling. Words came out of her tightly clenched teeth, “The Hughes family will be ruined in the hand of both of this ruthless father and son!”
“Grandma, calm down.”
Killian quickly comforted her.
