Winner Takes All novel Chapter 398

Each word in the message struck Jack like a sledgehammer.

His fury started to surge uncontrollably. He was filled with rage and was ready to kill. Everyone in the dining room looked at him in fear. Even Amber was terrified as she could clearly feel the bone-chilling coldness given off by her husband.

“Hubby…” Amber asked nervously, “What happened?”

“Nothing.” Jack forced a smile but it was clear to everyone that something terrible had happened.

“Brent and Mr. Ward, come with me.” Jack stood up and then flicked Amber’s nose before he turned to leave. Mr. Ward and Brent’s expression darkened and quickly followed.

The joyous and warm dinner a moment ago was left with Amber and Daisy.

“Daisy, something happened!” Amber bit her lips and was extremely worried.

Daisy saw that Amber was terrified and smiled to comfort her, “Amber, didn’t Mr. Hughes say that everything was fine? Don’t worry too much.”

“I’m sure of it.” Amber firmly shook her head and looked towards the door and said, “His eyes could never fool me. Whenever he lied to me, I can see the unsteadiness in his eyes.”

Daisy was speechless and didn’t know how to assure Amber. Perhaps, when a person loved another, she could have a connection at a different level. This kind of sensitive sense could not be appreciated by an outsider.

Amber became very flustered and wrung her hands, “Just now in his eyes, it was filled with, filled with…” Amber couldn’t get the last words out of her mouth.

Death!

Daisy understood clearly. She was ranked twentieth on the Azrael list of killers and danced on the edge of death. She was well acquainted with the feelings of a killer. Jack forcibly pretended that nothing was out of the ordinary but he radiated his desire to kill so much that it sent chills down her spine.

Indeed something big had happened!

The Rolls Royce drove out of the TM Villa District. The feeling of death filled the car. The mood was ominous like death was descending. Whether it was Brent who was driving or Mr. Ward who was sitting in front, both of them were able to feel the cold ferocity that was about to be unleashed.

They felt as if they were in an ice cavern, no, like they were in the horrors of hell.

“Master Hughes, what happened?” Mr. Ward asked. He very seldom felt such horrifying rage in Jack. The only time in his memory that he felt this way of Jack was during Sophie’s death.

It was dead silent in the car. Jack did not reply but lowered his head quietly like a bloodthirsty beast ready to pounce.

“Master…” Mr. Ward couldn’t help but ask again.

“Ha!” Jack laughed and Mr. Ward and Brent were startled.

Soon after, Jack said with a raspy voice, “She wants to desecrate my mother’s grave and scatter her ashes.”

Kaboom!

Mr. Ward and Brent’s faces turned pale and were white as a sheet of paper. Jack’s words were like a clear day thunderbolt. As they were horrified, they now know the cause of Jack’s sudden mood swing! A person should be able to die in peace and lay in death respectfully. The desecration of a grave was the most disrespectful and insulting act.

In ancient times, there was even a punishment for a devious criminal to desecrate his grave.

If someone were to desecrate Sophie’s grave and scatter her ashes, then how much did this person hate Jack!

Anyone would become equally furious if it happened to them. Furthermore, Jack had struggled with Sophie for twenty over years. Their mother and son bond was indescribable. The fury that raged within Jack could burn the heavens!
