On the way back to Four Impressions Club.
Jack had been very depressed and his face looked so cold.
Lone Wolf squinted at Jack from time to time, but he didn’t say anything.
As a man, he completely understood Jack's mood at that time.
"Tonight, at the Four Impressions Club."
Jack said that to Lone Wolf, breaking the dead silence in the car.
“Okay.” Lone Wolf answered.
Jack said, “Keep this matter a secret, I don't want it to affect Amber.”
By then, Amber was his everything.
Furthermore, Amber was pregnant at that time, so he wanted to hide it from Amber, from beginning to the end.
It was easy to say "forget the past" but to whoever recalled it, it would be a pain for their heart.
The sky was getting darker.
After Jack parked his car, he returned to Bamboo Grove.
He was going to sleep on the chair in the central room, but thinking of Amber's words that day, he tiptoed into the bedroom.
In the room, there was a dim yellow light on the head of the bed.
Amber left that light on for him.
While Amber was curling up at the corner of the bed, wrapped in a quilt.
Jack walked to the side of the bed very carefully, he didn't take his clothes off and just occupying a small corner of the bed with his clothes on.
When he was about to close his eyes and rest... Suddenly there was a movement from his side.
Jack opened his eyes and saw that Amber was already looking at him with eyes opened.
“You're back?”
Amber smiled and yawned with sleepy eyes.
“Yeah.” Jack simply answered before hugging Amber, “I told you not to wait for me, right? I've moved so lightly and you still woke up because of that.”
“But I want to sleep in your arms.”
Amber looked up at Jack and winked, “Something is bothering you? You don't look so well.”
“It's nothing, just business.”
Jack answered, the matter that night was considered as an end.
But in face of Amber, he still felt guilty anyway.
Especially, when Amber said that she left the light on for him and wanted to sleep in his arms.
Jack stroked Amber's nose, “I'll try my best to go home earlier from now on and hug you to sleep.”
“Love you, Honey.” Amber closed her eyes, she was really sleepy.
Jack gently smiled and slept while hugging Amber.
A week after that, everything was calm.
DT Company successfully acquired land and started promoting new project under Jack’s control.
Meanwhile at the Quinn family, Yael also continuously received good news, Quinn family's finance company was just like a giant in the finance world, by relying on that, Yael and Amelia were always successful in the finance industry.
They were not weak to begin with, at first, Yael made tens of billions of yuan to establish the finance company as the backbone of Quinn family's industry. Amelia relied on her own abilities and achieved great results at a young age.
The reason why they were in the Quinn family for a long time was that they were suppressed by the Quinn family who loved taking advantages.
Now after they left the Quinn family, they easily controlled half of Quinn family's assets, and they had gotten the condition to use their specialties to the fullest.
Vaughn family and Wattson family of the capital city got good news too.
The entertainment company had already begun to promote the project's progress and made a lot of profits.
Continuous good news doubled Jack's confidence.
Once his achievements grew bigger and bigger, after a year, at the time for them to decide the successor of the Hughes family, he believed that his own achievement would make everyone feel ashamed.
More importantly...
In that one week, Jack confirmed something.
That was... The Hughes family's attitude towards him!
Father went missing and that kept making him feel restless, while he's worried about his Father, he's also worried that without Father's oppression, those members of the Hughes family who regarded him as a thorn in their flesh would keep targeting him.
It was still too difficult for him to face the Hughes family at that time.
If Madam Hughes really let the Hughes family target him, it would definitely give him a huge pressure.
A year would be nearly enough to oppress him until he couldn't make any progress.
