Winner Takes All novel Chapter 506

Madam Hughes set up this family dinner especially for Jack.

Putting aside Madam Hughes and Carter, the rest did not have a clear picture of what was going on. But even so, they knew something was up from the way Madam Hughes treated Jack.

The main characters concerned in this matter had not spoken yet.

But Archer had already gone furious by himself!

Jack stared coldly at Archer who was angered.

In his ears, he could hear his father’s voice, who was scolding Archer when he first entered the Hughes Residence.

But his father had not gone overboard and it saved Archer from being embarrassed further.

For a moment, strange gazes were directed in Archer’s direction.

Some even let out a snicker without bothering to keep it subtle.

Even the youngsters seated on the same table as Killian couldn’t help but smirk at Archer.

Bang!

However, Archer ignored everyone and slammed his palm onto the table.

He pointed at Jack at roared.

“I’m your uncle. You are arrogant to the point that you have lost your manners, haven’t you?”

His voice was stern, and his expression was twisted from rage.

Everyone present could feel how furious Archer was.

Mr. Ward and Brent looked at each other as their eyes flashed with anger.

Archer wasn’t just a good-for-nothing, but he was a lowlife as well!

Everyone was facing Archer’s wrath at the moment.

Jack was sitting in a wheelchair, but his strong demeanour was not one to be ignored.

He stared right at Archer as he smirked.

“I do respect my elders, but only those who deserve it. If the elders have no virtue, how could they be worthy of my respect?”

With a domineering look, Jack said with a cold and stern tone.

This made everyone in the hall looked at each other and sucked in a deep breath at Jack’s words which seemed to have a deeper meaning to them.

“You…”

His face flushed with anger and his eyes widened.

Jack was calling him unscrupulous, wasn’t he?

“Enough!”

Madam Hughes bellowed, and this stopped Archer from continuing with his words.

With a chilling gaze, she glanced sideways at Archer.

“Archer, I am the temporary head of the family now that Patrick has gone missing. If you still have respect for me, then shut your mouth up. Jack is Patrick’s son, and also your nephew. It’s not wrong for me to ask him to sit with us at this table, so stop complaining about it!”

Archer’s expression turned solemn.

Finally, he could feel all the gazes that were on him.

“Fine.”

Archer grunted unwillingly and gritted his teeth as he retook his seat.

But he was still looking at Jack in dissatisfaction.

If looks could kill, Jack would probably be long dead under his intimidating gaze.

“Go over there.”

Jack said to Brent.

Everyone was looking at them.

Brent pushed Jack, who was in his wheelchair, to Madam Hughes’ side.

With a glance from Madam Hughes, Archer gritted his teeth and stood up, making way for Jack.

“Everyone who can make it are here. The rest who can’t make it had informed me about it.”

Madam Hughes’ voice was soft, but it was clear enough to reach everyone’s ears in the silent hall, “Now, the family banquet shall begin.”

She finished her words.

But no one started to eat.

According to traditions, the elderly should dig in first before the rest could do so.

Surely, Madam Hughes knew about it. She picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish meat.

Then…she did something before everyone’s eyes.

She placed the meat into Jack’s bowl.

Boom!

In an instant, everyone who was present felt as if they were struck by lightning.

What did her action mean?

The elderly were supposed to eat first. How could she put the fish in Jack’s bowl?

“Jack, this is your first time attending the Hughes Family’s banquet. This dish, the braised yellow river carp is a must in all of our banquets, and according to the Chinese, it means we wish for good fortune for our family every year. The belly is the best part of the whole fish.”
