Winner Takes All novel Chapter 355

On the way back to mansion.

Mr. Ward and the other two all felt that Patrick and Jack who had just walked out of the Meeting hall were not well.

But they didn’t ask anything.

They were not supposed to ask, considering their identities.

Patrick had a cool look and his eyes were dark.

Jack, who was pushing the wheelchair, also looked solemn, squinting his eyes.

One-year deadline was too short.

Jack had just started many of his projects which he postponed for quite long time due to the assassination of Dark Net Assassin Squad.

Comparing with other heirs in the Hughes Family, he had a long way to go.

Talented as he was, Jack couldn’t erase the decades of hard working of others within short time.

What’s more, the heirs were all well educated elite from the Hughes family.

Madam Hughes forced his father to make the “one-year deadline”, which obviously was decided to aim at him.

Even though knowing it, Jack couldn’t resist.

Dad was overwhelming in front of them and had already got great advantages.

If his Dad did not compromise at all, it would have made the the top family members unpleasant. They might even take actions against his Dad.

Jack was quite panic in his mind. Was it really enough to have only one year time?

Then they all arrived at the mansion.

Patrick finally started talking.

“Jack, will you blame me?”

Jack shook his head. Though he had anger inside, he still shook his head and said, “It is the best the way to be both tough and tender. Madam Hughes aimed at me. The one-year deadline is also for dealing with me. If Dad did not compromise at all, our good situation might have crashed instantly.”

Patrcik’s eyes flickered. There looked shining.

Looking at Jack surprisingly, Patrick couldn’t help showing his appreciation.

Jack could think of it. He was proud of his son.

“I’m glad that you don’t blame me.” Patrick sighed helplessly, “Madam Hughes obviously used the visible scheme to deal with us. She did it in the name of our ancestors, she used conflicts of the different groups of the people in family in terms of their own benefits, I have to accept the one-year deadline.”

Jack kept silent. He was in deep melancholy.

Invisible scheme was not he was going to worry about, only the visible scheme was scaring.

When it came to visible scheme, there was no other choice but to deal with it directly.

“Old master, what is the one-year deadline?” Mr. Ward was confused and started asking.

Patrick bitterly smiled but didn’t answer.

Jack said, “In the Meeting hall, Madam Hughes wanted to take action on me with the excuse that I had tried to kill her. Dad stopped her and suppressed all the people there. However, Dad was forced by Madam Hughes to decide the next head of the Hughes Family on his 50th birthday party after one year .”

“One year?!”

Mr. Ward was stunned.

Brent and Daisy were startled at the same time.

“How come one year is enough?”

Mr. Ward clenched his hands, saying with anger, “Those heirs all have been working on it with years of time. Some even own 10 years experiences. It’s really unfair that Young master only gets one year.”

How long had it been since Old master had sent him to find Young master back and made Young master the heir of the Hughes Family?

Even though there would be one more year, it was still less than 2 years. It was impossible to let Young master fully grow and develop well with such a short time.

Young master had already suffered a loss in terms of the time.

All the excellence took time.

Mr.Ward had been serving the Hughes Family for many years. He could see through it well.

Patrick had a sullen look. He was also clear about it.

There was just no other choice!

Being the head of the Hughes Family, he knew the blots of all the top family members. In other words, Patrick clearly accessed the weak points of all the people.

Usually people could use such weak point to achieve what they wanted, but if it make all the people no way out, they might fight back even in the price of their death.

Patrick couldn’t help patting his leg, “I’m here with you. As long as your achievements are excellent enough, they must admit.”

“It’s enough to have your words, Dad!”

Jack gave a smile and then looked at the time he said, “It’s time for me to go back, Dad. Whether Brown could release the assassination of Dark Net Assassin Squad or not, I have to go back, as there is one-year deadline for me.”

“Be careful!”

Patrick didn’t ask him to stay longer.

Actually, Jack now was the target of all the people in the Hughes Family.

If he stayed for longer time, there might be some new change.

When Jack came back to the Hughes Family with his great achievements next time, Patrick believed that Jack would be the shiny star instead of the target!

This was the greatest confidence for a the son as his father.

Having finished the packing, Jack said farewell to his father. He about about to leave with Brent and the other two.

But when he just stepped out of the courtyard, Jack suddenly stopped.

He suddenly asked, “Dad, is it really hard to deal with Madam Hughes ?”

Patrick was absentminded for a short while. He smiled bitterly, “It’s easy to deal with Madam Hughes, but it will be difficult to deal with those who are behind her.”

Behind her?!

Jack rubbed his nose and his eyes were deep, “as expected!”

If only because of family rules, it was pretty easy for his Dad to deal with Madam Hughes with the way Patrick had in the Meeting hall.

Although his Dad was always sharp and strong when dealing with Madam Hughes, he was restrained by Madam Hughes after all.

As the head of the family, he was always restrained by an old lady, it sounded ridiculous.

Jack didn’t ask more. He then walked away.

Watching Jack leave, Patrick’s eyes were deep and getting red.

“Those powerful families, even like the Hughes Family, were not as simple as what you think.”

After a while, Patrick sighed and looked up at the sky, “Sophie, I’m sorry that I’m not a good father. You are better than me...”
