It was six o’clock in the evening, and after Jack got off work, he didn’t immediately go home. He sent a text message on WeChat.
Then, he drove to LD City.
There must be an ending to all of this, no matter it was about Katherine or Lyndall.
If he dragged this on, it meant that Katherine would threaten him a second time since there was a precedence.
In the car, Lone Wolf was seated in the passenger’s seat. He stole a glance at Jack from time to time.
He could even feel Jack’s fury wafting from his body.
This was also reflected by the speed of the car.
“Mr. Hughes, are you really not going to bring along Brent and the others?” Lone Wolf felt that something was off in the air.
“No need.”
Jack shook his head.
If he were to summon Brent, then Amber would have known the reason he was coming back late tonight.
He didn’t want Amber to feel worried about this matter.
Lone Wolf looked like he had something to say but decided against it at the last moment.
In the LD Manor, the night was strangely serene and tranquil.
In order to invite Jack over, Lyndall had specially ordered not to accept other guests into the manor for the night.
He was going to show the utmost sincerity towards Jack by welcoming him with the power of all of the LD Manor.
Katherine was not planning to come to this banquet.
Even though Lyndall had invited her over and over again, she was still shutting herself up in her room, not going to show her face.
Lyndall could only feel powerless about this fact.
Only Willy was there to accompany him now.
Ever since early in the morning, the two of them had been waiting in the banquet hall all by themselves.
“Boss, it is almost eight o’clock.” Willy checked the clock and announced.
Lyndall nodded, and his expression gradually tensed up.
This was what Katherine had profusely begged for.
He could not let her efforts go into waste!
Willy suddenly said, “If he does not come today, shall we just forget about everything.”
Lyndall was startled for a moment.
He then shot a deep gaze at Willy.
While thinking of Katherine’s reaction when she came back home, his heart felt like there was something tugging at it.
With a nod of his head, Lyndall replied grimly, “If this doesn’t go as planned, let’s just leave it that way. My woman has done a lot and gone through a lot for me, so if I still continue to wallow in my current situation, wouldn’t I just be an ungrateful bastard?”
Willy secretly let out a sigh of relief.
He was precisely worried about Lyndall’s determination to continue inviting Jack.
As the underground king of the LD City, ever since he started becoming Lyndall’s follower, he had never seen him being so humble and belittled.
In this period of time, his title as the underground king seemed to have taken a different meaning in LD City.
If things continued unperturbed, it was likely that his title would have disappear for good.
At that moment, a middle-aged man darted into the hall nervously.
“Boss, Mr. Hughes is here!”
For Lyndall, this was a message carried to him by the angels.
He was here!
Finally here!
He had waited for this day for more than half a month!
Lyndall was so excited that he immediately marched out of the hall.
Willy secretly praised Katherine for this before catching up to Lyndall.
In the car park, after parking the car, the moment Jack stepped out of the car, there was someone there as his reception.
“Welcome, Mr. Hughes. Follow me.”
Jack scanned the now quiet and still manor, and as he walked on, he asked in a low voice, “Why aren’t there anybody else in the manor tonight?”
“To tell you the truth, in order to welcome Mr. Hughes, Mr. Long has ordered for the manor not to receive any other guests tonight. You will be the only guest tonight.”
Lyndall was threatening him outright, yet he was receiving Jack with the highest class of reception. What was he thinking?
Jack thought about this disdainfully as he hurried over.
In no time, he meet Lyndall and Willy who was coming towards him.
“Mr. Hughes, welcome. Your presence here is our honor.”
