Winner Takes All novel Chapter 424

It felt like the heavens were raining fire down to the earth. Was this doomsday?

Jack felt that his whole body was melting, and his brain was buzzing.

Was this coincidence?

Or was this done purposefully?

A dangerous aura was brewing in the distance.

The fact that Carlos Juan and Rena was forcing him to join the Grand Freemasons had already ignited a deep anger in his heart.

It was also because of Rena that there was an unpleasant feeling forming between him and Amber.

Now that this grandfather and granddaughter tandem had come to visit him, no matter how well could Jack control his emotions, it was long at its limit now!

“Young master, if you don’t go over now, they are going to board the car.” Brent reminded.

Jack took in a deep breath as he tried to suppress the immense anger within him, “Shun them away.”

With a loud bang, he hung up the phone.

Jack tried to pretend that nothing was wrong as he hurried towards Steve and his wife with Brent by his side.

“You kid. Didn’t I tell you not to come get us?”

Steve was delighted to see Jack.

“Since you have come here, how can I not come forward to welcome you?” Jack took over their luggage and handed it to Brent while smiling widely.

Steve let out a laugh, “Alright, alright. Let’s go home.”

While on the way, Jack had a good time having a good and hearty conversation with Steve and his wife. The atmosphere was really warm and joyous.

However, deep down in Jack’s heart, he knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

At the time when Jack and company returned to TM Villa district, it was already a huge mess in the courtyard of the villa.

“How could you ask us to get lost?”

Rena sounded vehement as she pointed at Mr. Ward and scolded, “We have come here with some gifts because we wanted to apologize to Jack. How can you treat guests in such a way?”

Mr. Ward’s face was gloomy, and his veins were bulging near the corner of his eyes.

Treat guests in such a way?

Just because a misunderstanding between you and the young master, the house was going to be in a huge mess. How could you talk about treating guests in such a situation?

Mr. Ward didn’t argue with her because Rena was a junior.

He directed his gaze at Carlos Juan, “Mr. Yales, I implore you to leave. We will have a family gathering at home tonight, so we can’t tend to outsiders.”

His tone was stony and irrefutable.

Carlos Juan wasn’t fazed by his words, but this was not the case for Rena.

If she hadn’t witnessed this exchange with her own eyes, she would have a hard time believing what she had just seen.

Her grandfather was the one and only founder of the Grand Freemasons. He held a special position and status in the organization.

He was part of an affluent and influential family which was well-known internationally. Everyone would have treated him with the utmost respect as the most distinguished guest.

Even if he had descended on the Hughes family or even the Rothschild family, he could enjoy the most respected main seat around the table.

However, looking at the situation now, he had arrived at the where Jack was, yet he was going to be shunned away just because the Hughes family was going to hold a family gathering.

On the second floor of the villa, Daisy was helping Amber to her feet as they stood in front of the window. They happened to witness the scene unfolding downstairs.

After a sleepless night, Amber’s delicate face was shrouded in exhaustion and sadness.

Her eyes were swollen and reddened because of a whole night of crying.

At the moment when she was watching the scene in the courtyard, Amber bit her reddish lips hard as a sense of sourness threatened to overwhelm her.

Her sense of indignation was coming close to a boiling point at the moment.

That familiar blue BMW i8, and her familiar posture which resembled that one in the video.

Was she here to take over the throne?

Where had she found her courage from?

As she watched the oppressive Rena in the courtyard, Amber felt a sense of nausea.

There was an overwhelming sense of sadness within her.

“Young lady, be careful of your health. Perhaps, things are not how we think they are?”

Daisy was always wary of Amber’s reaction to things. As a woman, nobody could be more understanding of Amber’s pain other than her, especially when it came to things like his.

Moreover, this “mistress” had now arrived at their villa.

It didn’t matter if Jack had told her the whole truth personally last night.

It didn’t change the fact that this “mistress” had come to pick a fight here in her eyes.

“If this is not how things look like, then how should things be?”
