Winner Takes All novel Chapter 449

The next morning.

Jack had packed his luggage and he was ready to go to the airport.

“Young master, are you sure that you don’t need my company?” Mr. Ward drove and asked him again.

Jack rubbed his nose, “No need, Brent is still in the hospital. You have to run the company, I am going to see Amber this time, nothing will go wrong.”

Mr. Ward nodded, “If there is any problem, please contact me. I will ask the office of The Hughes Family to settle for you.”

After arriving at the airport, he underwent the boarding procedure as usual.

After getting up the aeroplane, Jack sat at the first-class seat. He smiled gently when looking at the ticket in his hand.

“Wifey, I am coming.”

They were separated apart by the huge ocean. It took more than ten hours for his flight.

Jack took out a few books to read. The duration was so long, and he did not want to pass his time by sleeping.

To become an excellent person, being determined in accumulating experience was the most important criteria besides having a talent.

It was the same for everyone in the first class.

The harder you worked, the better you were.

However, Jack who was reading attentively was interrupted by others soon.

“Mister, can you lend me the book?”

Her voice was gentle and pleasant to hear like the singing sound of the yellow warbler, lingered in his ear.

Jack raised his head. He saw a slim and tall woman who dressed up beautifully. There was some make-up on her fair and good-looking face, her legs were long and slim. She looked young and energetic, attracting others’ attention.

“Which one?” Jack asked calmly.

The woman pointed, “This one, ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’.”

Jack smiled slightly and gave the book to her.

“Thank you.”

The woman smiled gently and went back to her seat.

Jack did not concern about the small episode, he continued to read.

The time flowed slowly.

The first class stayed silent.

After Jack read the book for a long time, his eyes were painful.

He put down the books and asked for a glass of wine and a blanket from the stewardess. After he drank the wine, he put on the eye mask, declined the seat, and closed his eyes to rest.

The time passed fast when he slept.

Jack slept soundly.

Although his trip to the desert was short, he was stressed and extremely tired that he could not describe his feeling.

After he went back home, he did not have much time to rest and straight away went to another place far away.

He could finally rest well on the plane.

When he woke up, the sky outside the window was dull.

“How long have I slept?”

Jack smiled, he lowered his head and saw “The Count of Monte Cristo” on his legs.

So fast she had finished reading it?

Jack simply took up “The Count of Monte Cristo” and read it. This book had been his favourite novel since he was in college. Every time he went on a business trip, he would bring it together.

However, Jack saw a playing card “Ace of Spades” which was inserted on the first page when he opened the book.

“Bookmark?”

Jack rubbed his nose and smiled.

When he wanted to return the “Ace of Spades” to the woman, he saw the tiny words written on the back of the card suddenly.

“Watch out! Be calm!”

Watch out what?

Jack was dumbfounded and looked at the woman subconsciously.

The woman was reading another book attentively. Her expression was calm. If the scene was still, it looked like a panorama.

She reminded him all of a sudden yet so secretively.

It must be something happened!

Jack was not so silly that he would shout and scream. He observed other passengers in the first class carefully.

A sense of ominous foreboding arose.

No matter what nationality, every passenger looked awkward at the moment.

Although they pretended nothing happened, there was a strange aura surrounding the first class.
