Winner Takes All novel Chapter 512

Silence.

The scene was dead silent.

The cold killing intent swept the scene like a tide.

Everyone was tense, and so terrified, they broke out in a cold sweat.

They swallowed hard, they felt as if they were being choked by an invisible hand, unable to make any sound.

Even Madam Hughes and Carter Hughes were stunned in terror and remained silent.

The two of them were the closest to Jack Hughes, hence they felt most explicit the killing aura emitted from Jack.

They were totally terror-stricken straight into the bone marrow!

Without a doubt, they believed that Jack definitely was brave enough to stab them!

In their minds, Jack the bastard was stubborn!

Jack would have stabbed Madam Hughes with a knife at the very first place if it hadn't been blocked by Felix Hughes and others. That was the time when Jack Hughes first came to the Hughes Family.

"Blood for blood!"

Jack squinted his eyes, staring at Madam Hughes with sinister gaze, and smirked, "Sacrificing myself a so called bastard for a life of a noble duchess is totally worth it!"

Suddenly.

The dense footstep echoed from outside the hall was getting louder and closer.

The Hughes’ Family security had finally arrived.

Looking at the crowds outside.

Madam Hughes' expression eased a little and said, "If you kill me, you, Mr. Ward, Brent and you all will die together with me!"

"But you won't let me live another day!"

Jack Hughes smirked.

He knew clearly that if he kept on condone their doings or just blindly obeyed to their orders in tonight’s dinner. It will only aggravate the family to do something worst.

Jack decided to fight to his death, risking all he had to force Madam Hughes and the others to postpone the discussion of his status as heir. After all, this was the outcome he wanted most!

As long as Jack’s father returned, there might be a turnaround.

However, while waiting for his father return, he can only count on himself to fight for survival.

"Ha!"

Madam Hughes barely calmed herself, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "Well, I, Madam Hughes will give you a way to survive yourself!"

Hearing the words.

Everyone in the scene suddenly got excited.

After that.

Madam Hughes raised her aged dry right hand and pointed at Jack Hughes' legs.

"The elimination of your heir status is caused by your crippled leg. This has concerned the prestige of the Hughes Family. When it comes to the family’s prestige, no one has the final say. If you want to survive, then I am showing you a way... If you can stand up today, you can inherit your status just like it was originally yours. However, if you can't stand up, don't blame me and the elders for taking over your heir status regardless of your father's authority!"

Boom!

The sound was like a thunder.

The look on everyone's face changed. Everyone was looking weirdly at Jack .

At this moment, even George and Archer had suppressed the severe pain and chuckled though they were injured.

"Stand up? He's already crippled, there’s no way he will be able to do that!"

"Jack...Jack...! Madam Hughes has given you enough chances. This is your way to survive, you better seize it and work hard for it!"

"Tsk tsk tsk...the opportunity is just before you, Jack, but it is too bad you just can't stand up, there’s no one to blame."

…

Listening to everyone cynicism.

Jack's pupils contracted to the extreme.

He lowered his head slowly, looking at his legs, he hesitated.

Did he really need to reveal his trump card at this critical moment?

‘I had spent so much effort deliberately to hide this trump card, there was no way I will waste it so hastily!’

Behind him was Mr. Ward, he also had a gloomy expression, his bloodshot eyes darkened to the extreme.

And this scene was witnessed by everyone at the scene.

They felt Jack and Mr. Ward were desperate to the extreme.

After all,... how was it possible for a crippled person to stand up even if he wanted to?
