Mr. Ward and Carlos were both shocked at the same time.
There was complete silence in the room.
Mr. Ward felt how much strength was in Jack’s hand as he held it while saying those words, his complexion changed.
And even Carlos, was completely shocked.
He was staring at Jack in shock.
“Such tenacious belief, such frightening grandeur. He is really outstanding!”
This was going on in Carlos’s mind.
He had witnessed the change in Jack’s mood since he was rescued.
From despair and bitter crying to calm and accepting of everything.
And in just these few days, he was once again burning with the will to fight.
Carlos had only seen this kind of change a few times in his life. However, to change like this in such a short amount of time, to walk out from the darkness towards the light… Jack was the only one!
Failure should not be feared, the thing to be feared is to not be courageous enough to try again after failure.
In Carlos’s eyes, Jack had suffered a bolt out of the blue; he was drowned in calamity and it was just as hard for him to get back on his feet as it was to touch the sky.
But how long had it been?
Less than a month!
Jack was able to be so ambitious, probably due to his… terrifyingly tenacious conviction!
“Master…”
Mr. Ward’s eyes twinkled and his tears gradually dissipated.
After crying, Jack smiled, “Since I was a child, I have always stayed in the dark. I have never given up, continuously and diligently pursued the light. Now that the darkness has found me again, why should I be afraid to find the light.”
Jack didn’t have much of his childhood memories.
Because, they were all full of darkness.
Dependent on his mother for life, being called a bastard, he and his mother had suffered horribly just to survive.
All the memories were dim and dark, there was no light to speak of.
Maybe that was why he studied so hard to find his way out of the darkness and into the light.
But now, it had started all over again.
Jack released Mr. Ward’s hand, “If the Hughes family doesn’t have a precedent, then I will be there. Even if, it is the Hughes family’s iron clad unchangeable law, I will destroy it, as for the family’s position, I will win it even if I have to sit in the wheelchair, and I will made everyone in the Hughes family be convinced! This is not only my promise to my mother but also my responsibility towards Amber and the child.”
Jack’s gaze was burning and his will to fight was strong.
In this moment, he didn’t look even a bit devastated or in despair.
His aura was like an unsheathed sword, ready to pierce through the dark night sky.
“Okay, Master! I will try my best until my last breath!”
Mr. Ward made up his mind and was no longer terrified and grieving like before.
Carlos had been looking at the both of them throughout the whole time.
Jack’s sudden change had hammered on his heart heavily.
It had shocked him to his core!
Perhaps, this was why Jack was able to become the top in the younger generation in his heart.
Carlos kept his usual calm on the outside but he still exhaled a deep sigh inwardly, feeling shocked.
Jack smiled faintly and glanced at Mr. Ward with his deep eyes.
Gradually, his majestic aura faded away.
He rubbed his nose and looked back and forth at Mr. Ward and Carlos.
“Aren’t you guys going to explain your relationship?”
They were both stumped for words.
They exchanged glances silently.
Jack smiled, “When Carlos came back that night and said those drunken words, I guessed that it was you Mr.Ward.”
He paused, his eyes twinkling, “If I am not wrong, at that time when Carlos and Rena were forcing me to join the Grand Freemasons, Mr. Ward also met with both of them separately.”
“You are wise, Master.” Mr. Ward smiled bitterly and held his fist in his other palm in front of his chest in respect.
Carlos also smiled, “At that time, I forced you to join the Grand Freemasons, he especially came to find us because of what we did, he almost beat me up!”
