Winner Takes All novel Chapter 534

“He won’t see me?” Lyndall frowned and was disappointed in the hotel suite.

He came over on the invitation of Charlie but his intention was mainly to meet Jack. To him, he had everything to gain by getting along with Jack. He had already shown Jack his attitude towards Katherine and her mother. What they did truly crossed his red line.

He came this time to try to break the ice but he was set up by ZF at the Plum Bar and stalled his progress with Jack. Had he not reacted fast enough, the misunderstanding between Jack and him might have deepened to a point of no return.

Before the day broke, Lyndall had already sent Willy to invite Jack. But the refusal frustrated him.

“Boss, I didn’t get to see Jack and only managed to see that elderly servant.” Willy frowned as he reported, “The elderly servant must have known about the conflict between Jack and you and hence rejected your invitation.”

Lyndall grinned bitterly, “Go again, you must get to see Jack.”

“Is that necessary? If he was willing to see us, he wouldn’t send his elderly servant to meet me.” Willy frowned.

Lyndall looked at Willy and smiled, “He is an intelligent man. He can tell from our actions last night what had happened. We are here not for last night but to get acquainted with Jack.”

Willy nodded and turned to leave.

Lyndall became solemn and looked at the scenery outside and mumbled, “Haven’t you gotten over what happened?” Though Lyndall’s actions during Katherine’s mother’s incident were decisive, he remained concerned that it would incur the wrath of Jack. He remained troubled for a long time before he could relax.

After that, he realized that his situation with Jack was not that dire and that was why he decided to try to get acquainted with Jack.

He stretched his back before leaving the room and headed to the restaurant for breakfast.

It was still early and the restaurant was filled with people who just woke up. Lyndall picked a few servings from the buffet spread and took a seat at the table.

As he was eating, an elderly man in a black trench coat and baseball cap sat opposite Lyndall. Lyndall was surprised and looked around. There were other available seats and there was no need for the stranger to sit with him. He looked at the old man and continued with his breakfast.

The elderly man ate quickly and was vastly faster than Lyndall. Very soon, the elderly man finished and left.

Lyndall grinned and then noticed that the elderly man had forgotten to take his wallet. Lyndall turned to call out to the elderly man but he had already left the restaurant. Lyndall quickly wiped his mouth, grabbed the wallet, and chased after him.

At the hotel rooftop. The autumn wind was blowing and the air was cool and refreshing.

When Lyndall rushed to the rooftop, the elderly man was looking afar at the scenery. The elderly man did not react even when Lyndall pushed open the metal door loudly.

Thud!

Lyndall noticed something was amiss and his left hand smacked the wallet and grinned. He then threw the wallet at the elderly man’s feet and turned to leave.

“You’re leaving just like that?” The elderly man called out to Lyndall.

Lyndall didn’t turn back and just said, “I’ve wasted my efforts. I already saw that you were wearing a facial disguise and now even your voice is faked. In the end, I was fooled by your worthless wallet to come over here.”

“Ha! You’re truly observant!” The elderly man slowly turned and the old man grinned while looking at Lyndall’s back, “You could even see through my disguise. Your eyes are indeed sharp!”
