Winner Takes All novel Chapter 516

They combined their efforts to force the head of the family. At that moment, the atmosphere in the hall was tensed and could erupt at any moment.

Patrick glared ferociously at everyone present. At that moment, even those who were normally amicable revealed their true self.

Suddenly Patrick laughed heartily. The laughter was sinister and stunned everyone.

“Alright alright, so all of you had considered for the Hughes family!” Patrick laughed as if he lost his composure. Everyone was stunned by his sudden change in behavior, including Jack, Mr. Ward, and Brent.

The next moment, Patrick turned serious and slapped the table.

Smack! The slap was loud and explosive! “Let me ask what right do you have to force the head of the family?” Patrick glared at everyone present, “Since all of you are so talented, then why do you want me as the head of the family? If this leaked out, wouldn’t this also cause the family to become a joke? Wouldn’t this be a greater joke than my son being disabled?”

Madam Hughes’ pupils constricted and was so angry that her eyes almost rolled over.

Carter and the rest of the people were stunned as the hall become dead silent.

“Speak up! Weren’t all of you so eloquent a moment ago?” Patrick glanced at the entire hall and continued, “All of you said that the Hughes family will become a joke because of my son. So if what you are doing now caused the family to be a joke, then would you be able to shoulder this?” Patrick’s words suppressed everyone present. No one dared to look at each other.

On the other side, Killian lowered his head as he slouched.

As a younger generation, not only was there a gap in the status, there was also a difference in generations. Any verbal retaliation should be done by the people of Patrick’s generation. People of his generation should not make a sound. They were unworthy from the standpoint of their background, status, and age.

But then, there was a flash of impulse in Killian’s eyes. ‘Opportunity, this was an opportunity to force Jack to fall. If he were to fall, then I wouldn’t have to worry about the competition from the younger generation!’ Killian thought.

Killian was naturally intelligent and his abilities well surpassed everyone. With his unsurpassed shrewdness, he had always been outstanding among the younger generation. To him, the so-called status as a potential heir was immaterial. Even with the number of potential heirs, he reckoned that his chances of succeeding were more than fifty percent.

Then suddenly Jack appeared from the blue and shocked everyone with his rapid rise. How could this bastard have this opportunity to inherit the Hughes family? Just because he was the son of the head of the family?

Each and every one of the elite generation spent years accumulating, training, and grooming before they are worthy to be named as a potential heir. So how could this unknown bastard swoop in and grab the position from them?

Jack’s appearance had always bothered Killian, threatening his rise to the position of the head of the family. He had never felt so threatened before. If he didn’t capitalize on this situation to topple Jack, then he might never have the chance to rise up again.

In the midst of the uneasy silence, Killian’s gaze focused and made his decision. His shrewdness and determination culminated in a bold decision!

Killian stepped forward and immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Patrick’s cold gaze turned towards Killian.

In full view of everyone, Killian knelt with a thump.

“The head of the family is brilliant. The law had always favored the majority. We decided to revoke the status of Jack for preventing the family from becoming a joke. If you want to punish us for this decision, you will have to punish all of us.”
