The tattered note that was left by the mysterious man earlier pierced Jack’s heart deeply like a thorn.
Even though Jack was certain that Amber would never harm him, he still felt slightly anxious because of what was said in the note.
Jack then raised his hand, slapped his face hard and forced himself to suppress the thoughts he was having.
Jack then took out his phone and found it out of charge after a night.
He then put the phone aside and stayed up until he finally felt tired, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The plane had already landed in the suburban airport when he finally woke up.
Mr. Ward and Brent had been waiting outside for a while.
Brent started the car once Jack had gotten inside.
Mr. Ward who was sitting in the passenger seat asked, “Master Hughes, how was the trip?”
Jack looked weird on his face and shook his head, “so-so.”
“What do you mean?” The smile on Mr. Ward’s face faltered slightly.
Brent, who was driving, also glanced curiously at the rear-view mirror to look at Jack.
Jack rubbed his nose, “It went well because I was able to break up the partnership between Ciara’s company and that well-known celebrity. However it didn’t go well because something happened to Yael and Vinna, and Yael is currently lying in the hospital.”
“Yael and Vinna?”
Mr. Ward felt surprised, but soon he looked at master in a strange manner, “Wait, Master Hughes, if I remember correctly then didn’t Ciara ask you to go to Kyoto to help boost the partnership, and the well-known celebrity wanted to meet with you?”
“That’s correct!”
Jack still had this strange smile on his face as he shrugged and said, “The well-known celebrity is Hana, you know?”
Mr. Ward nodded his head.
Brent was quite astonished when he heard this, “I never would have expected that Ciara had already started to work with such a superstar like Hana. So Master Hughes, I guess that it means their project is worth a lot?”
“Due to Hana’s big investment, their project is valued at one billion.” Jack said.
Mr. Ward and Brent both felt more confused when they heard this.
They both couldn’t believe it.
This was such a large sum of investment made by Hana.
And Jack was able to break up their partnership?
While they were both still surprised by this, Jack then slowly said, “Hana is just a stage name; her real name is actually Hana Powell, a member of the Powell family.”
Mr. Ward and Brent were even more shocked when they heard this.
The superstar celebrity in the entertainment industry was actually a member of the Long Thriving Noble Powell Family?!
Even though Mr. Ward knew many things, he would never have guessed this.
Jack rubbed his both hands and continued, “Since she is part of the Powell family, do you think I should have allowed them to continue working together?”
He didn’t plan to tell Mr. Ward or Brent Hana’s thoughts on him.
Because he didn’t want Amber ever found out.
Right now Amber needed to avoid any kinds of turbulence in her emotion.
In fact just before he had left, Jack had personally asked her to keep her mouth shut regarding what had happened last night.
“It should be allowed to continue!”
Mr. Ward nodded and began to explain his thoughts on the matter, “Since Hana is a member of the Powell family and also wanted to meet with Jack, then it seems she doesn’t care too much about Jack killing that member of the Powell family. If they can work together then perhaps Hana is the key for you to escape some sort of retaliation or punishment from the Powell family.”
Mr. Ward was right!
But a mood of melancholy and depression descended on Jack.
It was indeed the key to avoid the wrath of the Powell family, however if he wanted Hana’s help then he would have to abandon his wife and son and become a part of their family!
Jack waved his hand up and said, “Alright, don’t ask any more questions regarding this. I have already ripped their partnership so do not mention it again.”
They didn’t drive directly back to the TM Villa District, but instead went directly to LJ Hospital.
After they had arrived at LJ Hospital, Jack went directly to Amber’s ward.
A variety show was playing on the TV inside the room.
Amber was currently lying on the bed eating an apple.
