Winner Takes All novel Chapter 351

Along the way, Jack could feel the obvious fury radiated by Patrick. It was a kind of chill that one could feel by being next to him. It made the hair stand as it chilled to the bones.

Jack was clear that at his father’s state, he was able to control his emotions so well that those beside him wouldn’t be able to tell what he was feeling. But now, it was clear that his father had lost some self-control.

Numerous Hughes family members and servants greeted Patrick along the way. Patrick ignored all of them and was fuming like a ferocious lion striding towards his mortal enemy.

Very soon, a grand hall appeared in front of them. This grand hall was not far from the residence of the head of the family. It looked like it was the center of the Hughes Manor. There were many guards in front of the grand and solemn meeting hall. This made the meeting hall appear even more stern and solemn.

The Hughes family members and servants did not dare to look at them directly and quickly walked away. When the top executives of the Hughes Family were having a meeting, it was forbidden for regular Hughes family members and servants to even look at the meeting hall.

Jack looked at the magnificent meeting hall and his eyes started to light up and a fire was kindled within him. Was this… the heart of the Hughes family?

As they approached, the serious and solemn atmosphere became thicker.

“Move aside for the head of the family!” All the servants around the meeting hall announced loudly.

Among them, a middle-aged servant hurried over and said respectfully, “Mr. Ward, Brent, and the other two must remain outside. The high-level executives of the Hughes family are having a meeting. Only the head of the family may enter.” He only recognized Mr. Ward and Brent but not Jack and Daisy. Even Mr. Ward and Brent could not enter when the meeting was on. The servant was polite because they were following behind Patrick.

“Jack, let’s go in.” Patrick squeezed the words through his clenched teeth. Jack pushed the wheelchair and continued walking in. Mr. Ward, Brent, and Daisy stopped and didn’t follow.

The middle-aged servant was stunned and said, “Sir, this is a family meeting, Madam Hughes and the rest are inside the hall, outsiders…”

Smack!

Patrick slapped the middle-aged servant on the face before he could finish speaking. The slap was forceful and the servant’s face immediately swelled and fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

“How dare a servant restrict me? As the head of the family, do I have to explain to you if I were to bring someone for the meeting?”

Patrick looked furiously at the servant “He is my son Jack. Can he enter?”

Whoosh! As soon he said, all the servants gasped. The middle-aged servant’s expression changed drastically and quickly stepped aside.

Jack continued to push Patrick to the meeting hall. They entered the courtyard and the atmosphere was solemn and quiet. But as they walked deeper into the courtyard, they could hear some commotion coming from the hall.

“Preposterous! Simply preposterous! Could the head of the family do what he wanted?”

“The Hughes family always prioritized filial piety. He, as the head of the family, should lead by example. How could he disrespect Madam Hughes?”

“Absurd! A wild bastard. How could he attempt to kill you? And the head of the family, has he lost his mind?”

…

Jack’s expression darkened and started to fume. The family meeting was just Madam Hughes trying to rally people to help her to deal against Jack.

“Jack, don’t speak later. Leave it all to me!” Patrick said coldly, “The damn bitch wants to use this meeting to force me. I can use this opportunity to hit back on them. Otherwise, they’d think that I had softened over these years. Perhaps they had forgotten how I became the head of the Hughes family!” The air seemed to congeal after he said.
