Jack Hughes looked calm as he looked at the main entrance of the inner courtyard.
At the moment, a young man in a high and vigorous spirit walked into the inner courtyard, surrounded by a lot of people.
The young man was two or three years older than Jeweline Hunter. He looked arrogant as if his eyes were shining.
There were also a few young men following him closely.
As they walked forward, they raised arms to greet the guests in the inner courtyard who stood up.
The entrance they made was much more splendid as compared to Jeweline Hunter’s.
Even Jack could clearly feel that the attitude of the guests towards the two was a world of differences.
They only put on a show because of Jeweline’s identity.
However, they acted in awe and veneration towards Jeweshine Hunter who just came in!
“Jeweshine has the most outstanding ability and skill among the younger generation of the Hunter family. If there isn’t any accident, my father would let him inherit the head of the family.”
Jeweline held the teacup tightly and said the words through the gaps of his teeth.
His tone was full of unwillingness and rage.
“Those three men behind him are also the few of the best among the offshoots.”
Jack smiled and did not care about it.
As Jeweshine and the others walked in.
The discussions about Jeweline and Jack among the crowd had also changed to Jeweshine quietly.
“Young master Jeweshine was very outstanding and he had exceptional qualities. With this kind of bold vision, he is qualified to be the head of the family.”
“It is a pity that someone like Gilbert Hunter who has outstanding wisdom has such an inferior child. It is so sad.”
“Don’t compare Jeweline to Jeweshine. He is not even comparable to those behind him.”
…
The discussions had made Jeweshine and the others happy.
Jeweline who sat beside Jack was smiling too.
Yet, his smile was full of bitterness.
He raised his eyes and looked at Jack, “I am inferior for the eldest son, right?”
“A little.”
Jack did not hide at all.
The Hughes family and the Hunter family had the same approach to elect the head of the family.
Jeweline was Gilbert’s own son and he was also Patrick Hughes’s own son.
Yet, their personalities were not the same even if they were both under the same circumstances.
After patting on Jeweline’s shoulder, Jack slowly said, “Don’t you know that human intelligence can win against nature? If you only bow down to your fate and do not keep forging ahead, why are you talking about the injustice?”
Jeweline’s body trembled and glowing lights could be seen in his eyes.
Jack smiled naturally, “Internal competition cultivates the best as the heir of the family. Why are you sticking to your own identity instead of thinking about becoming a winner to rule?”
The lights in Jeweline’s eyes were glowing as his right hand released the teacup quietly.
“You thought everything should belong to you just because you are the eldest son of your family. You detest the people with outstanding abilities. However, you ask yourself in your heart, could you really stabilize your power if you have become the head of your family?”
“Why are you telling me this?” Jeweline asked.
Jack smiled lightly, “I am the same as you but also different from you. I did not complain about the injustice I faced. That’s why I could toy with them. Yet, you could only endure the mock from everyone and reply it with a smile.”
The light in Jeweline’s eyes glowed brilliantly. He held his fists tight and blue veins could be seen.
At the moment.
A cold voice suddenly spoke.
“Jeweline, don’t you even know the rules anymore?”
‘Jeweshine!’
Jeweline’s pupils contracted. He calmed down his surged emotions and slowly turned towards Jeweshine and the others.
“What rules?”
Jack was silent as he looked at Jeweshine.
At this moment, Jeweshine was surrounded by a lot of people and he looked domineering as he looked down on Jeweline.
His manner and speech did not have any respect towards the superior.
His eyes were even full of scorn and disdain.
Jeweshine raised his hand and pointed to Jack and the others, “These three people here broke the rules! You, as the eldest son of the Hunter family, who does not know what shame is, even bring this kind of people to the main table?
Upon hearing this, Brent showed a cold look and wanted to get up immediately.
Yet, Jack raised his hand and pressed his lap to stop him.
Jeweline slowly got up. He looked angry and his eyes looked fierce.
This look had made Jeweshine and the others’ expressions serious.
‘This loser, did he change his character today?’
In the inner courtyard.
Everyone gazed at them and they showed a surprised look.
Anyone could clearly notice that the fight was getting intense.
