Winner Takes All novel Chapter 373

“Mr. Lott, you should be more familiar than me at acquiring land.” Jack was puzzled.

Aiden was in business for several decades. Just in terms of his real estate business in this city, he could overshadow Drago who specialized in real estate. How could he not be able to get a parcel of land with his abilities?

Aiden wrung his hands awkwardly, “Indeed I am able to get any piece of land easily in this city. But the problem is this parcel of land is at the neighboring LD city and I have trouble getting it.”

Jack didn’t mind and waved his hands, “Just look for Corbin and Lone Wolf at DT. They will go with you.”

“Thanks, Mr. Hughes!” Aiden was overjoyed and quickly said, “Thanks Mr. Hughes for helping. If I can get this piece of land, I will definitely make it worth your while. Or if Mr. Hughes wants to, we can co-develop it!”

“Okay, go ahead, I need to spend time with my wife.” Jack waved and went back to the Bamboo Grove with Mr. Ward and Brent.

“Master Hughes, Aiden already said that he was willing to co-develop the land. This parcel of land must be very tricky.” Mr. Ward suddenly said.

“Corbin and Lone Wolf will be able to settle it properly.” Jack nodded. He was clear what kind of person Aiden was. For someone who could dominate the business for several decades, his shrewdness and strategy were second to none.

If the parcel of land was easy to obtain, Aiden would take it all for himself. For him to even mention the possibility to co-develop the land, it was as good as sharing the profits with Jack. If he was willing to share the profits, then it was obvious that something was amiss. Mr. Ward nodded and didn’t say anything further.

When they arrived at the Bamboo grove, Amber and Daisy were at the courtyard drinking tea.

“You’re back so early? Why are you so hard on yourself?” Amber looked over and asked.

Jack smiled, “That’s because I want to spend more time with you.”

“I don’t need you since Daisy is here.” Amber then raised her right hand, “You’re going to become a father soon. Now the priority is to make enough money to buy the baby’s milk powder. If you can’t afford to buy the milk powder, then I will give you a good beating.”

Everyone laughed when they heard this. But Jack was clear that Amber was trying to remind him that he only had one year and it was too short! Jack was touched when he heard this.

He flicked Amber’s nose and smiled tenderly, “Rest assured that I will make a lot of money for buying milk powder. Making money was important but spending time with you is more important.”

Jack spent the entire morning with Amber. After what happened last night, the peace and tranquility of the Bamboo court garden enabled Jack to relax. A wife, child, and a warm home were what every man aspire to have, even though he was well above the common folks.

After lunch.

Mr. Ward called Jack to the garden and said, “Master Hughes, the Burton family is finished.”

Mr. Ward said solemnly, “After what happened last night, the wealthy families of the Capital started their moves to takeover the Burton family assets. They had already acquired a large portion of it and the remainder will be settled soon.”

Jack expected it.

“After the death of Old Master Burton, if Dyson had a half a brain, he could still sustain the Burton family for a long time. Even if he couldn’t and the family lost the title of being the most wealthy, the Burton family would still be one of the wealthy families in the Capital.” Jack laughed and continued, “It’s a pity that the Burton family are fools especially Dyson who was dumb as a post.”

Mr. Ward nodded. What Jack said was the same as in reality. A lizard could ditch its tail to preserve its life. What more the Burton family of the capital? Only to have Dyson choosing the most foolish option.

“You asked me out here not to talk about these,” Jack asked Mr. Ward.
