Winner Takes All novel Chapter 582

At that moment, the small courtyard was in total upheaval. Wailing and yelling could be heard. When Killian and Carter rushed into the prayer hall, Madam Hughes had already been overcome with anger, vomited blood, and fainted.

Both of them turned pale from the fright and their lips quivered. They were stunned for several seconds before coming to their senses. The same scene happened in each of the Hughes family courtyards.

In the dark of the night, the Hughes family’s celebrations had turned into grief. Except that these were hidden in the silence of the night.

Jack and Mr. Ward did not stay at the Hughes residence for long. They walked out of the living room and left. Jack didn’t bother to find out what happened to the Hughes family and neither was it necessary because he knew that it was enough that he was alive!

As the helicopter rotors whirled, Mr. Ward looked at Jack and almost spoke several times but he didn’t. In the end, he simply heaved a deep sigh.

Jack sat quietly in the wheelchair and his gaze revealed his anger and hate.

What Hana did ripped open his deep hidden wounds and turned him into the type of person like his father. She had framed him and plotted against him. There was no way that he could tolerate this. But in Jack’s resentment and anger, he was puzzled and could not understand something. How was he so attractive for Hana to plot so deeply to get to him.

Lust was a powerful motivator, regardless of men or women.

But what Hana did was indeed impressive and even unbelievable.

On the other end, they were on the way back to the hotel. The atmosphere in the luxury car was tensed.

Hana drooped her head and sat like a kid who had done something wrong. Although she had tried to remain low-key, she was the cause of this issue and could not evade the stern glare of Kerry and the others.

“Hana, aren’t you going to explain yourself?” Kerry asked solemnly. The other two middle-aged Powell family members also looked sternly waiting for her explanation. They were not dumb. As the Power family’s first- and second-generation authority holders, they were all extremely intelligent and could easily read someone’s intentions. It was clear from what had happened that Jack had the moral high ground.

With their understanding of Hana, she would have stomped her feet in fury before they spoke out for her.

Kerry stood up to reprimand Jack because he was trying to protect the Powell family’s reputation. Regardless of the misgivings of his family member, it was only appropriate that the punishment be carried out within the Powell family. How could he stand by when an outsider criticized and slandered his family member’s character?

He could not allow that even if it was the head of the Hughes family’s son! He had to protect the dignity of the family! The reputation of the Powell family could never be attacked!

But now there weren’t any outsiders and they should ask and find out the truth. Kerry and the others would not simply let this rest.

“Master Kerry, I… I…” Hana was so embarrassed that she blushed in red. She bit her lip tightly and couldn’t say a thing. Her usual A-list celebrity loftiness was nowhere to be seen. She acted like an embarrassed little girl.

“Speak!” Kerry’s expression darkened.

Hana was extremely embarrassed and her entire body shuddered when she saw the stern looks of the three of them. But how… how could she explain herself?

She stomped her feet and said coyly, “Master Kerry, can you all don’t ask? I beg of you.”

“This concerns the Powell and Hughes family. I must find out the truth behind this matter when my granddaughter was slandered in front of me to this extent. Otherwise, I do not fit to be the head of the Powell family.”

Kerry was very firm and didn’t allow Hana to wriggle herself out of this and declared, “This must be handled appropriately. If what happened tonight leaked out, then what harm will it bring to the Powell family? If you are right, I will make sure that you get the justice you deserve and make sure that Hughes brat pays for it. But if you are in the wrong, then I need to know the truth. I can’t be kept in the dark after supporting you unconditionally.”

“But… I…” Hana grasped her hands as her palms sweated.

She looked up and saw Kerry’s stern expression and then he demanded, “Hmm?”
