Winner Takes All novel Chapter 589

The aircraft landed at the airport. Just as Jack and the other 2 walked out of the airport, they saw a line of Mercedes Benz G-class waiting by the roadside. There were over twenty of them and it drew a lot of attention! Jack frowned as he sat in the wheelchair.

Soon he could see Gilbert and Jeweline running towards him. Jeweline was extremely excited to see Jack again. He was able to get to his current status in the Hunter family all thanks to Jack. Previously in the Hunter family, he was being sidelined and belittled. Even his father as the head of the family disregarded him.

But after an interaction with Jack, his status in the Hunter family took a drastic change.

“Jack…” But before Jeweline could greet Jack properly, Jack said solemnly, “Why did you make this so grand?”

Gilbert and Jeweline were stunned when they heard this and exchanged looks. Was this considered grand? It certainly was not to them. The Hunter family was considered the ‘local emperor’ in the North. Twenty over G-class to escort them was nothing compared to Gilbert’s birthday which had the roads cleared and a banquet attended by ten thousand well-wishers.

But Gilbert smiled and apologized, “I’m sorry Mr. Hughes, I just wanted to welcome you and ensure your safety.”

Jack frowned. Such a welcome may invite too much attention and risk his safety instead! He came in secrecy and even his flight records had been suppressed and kept from the public domain. It was all to reduce the likelihood of the dark net getting news of his travel plans and issuing an assassination attempt.

Now as soon as he landed, the twenty-over car convoy of the Hunter family had practically announced his arrival. That essentially negated all of his efforts to keep this trip a secret. Before he came, he had already instructed Jeweline to keep it low profile but he still did this.

Jack rubbed his nose and then said sternly, “Let’s get out of here immediately.” Brent wheeled Jack and walked towards a G-class with Mr. Ward.

Gilbert and Jeweline looked at each other. Gilbert realized what was happening and then questioned Jeweline, “Jeweline, how did Mr. Hughes instruct you before he came?”

Jeweline mumbled, “He told me to pick him up from the airport without any extravagance.”

Gilbert was speechless. He raised his hand and wanted to slap Jeweline causing Jeweline to dodge away from him.

Gilbert ground his teeth and berated, “You fool! Mr. Hughes already told you not to be extravagant and yet you asked me to come in a convoy?”

“Is this extravagant?” Jeweline pointed at the convoy of twenty plus G-class, “Isn’t this our most basic procedure for receiving guests?”

Gilbert was dumbfounded and fumed in fury. This fool…

In order to ensure Jeweline’s status in the Hunter family, Gilbert was glad to see Jeweline drawing nearer to Jack. Jack also appeared willing to interact with Jeweline as the recent phone call to Jeweline proved. Gilbert was fine with all these. But his precious son was not detailed in his handling of things!

“What are you waiting for? Catch up with them!” Gilbert yelled and kicked Jeweline’s backside.

After getting into the car, the convoy of G-class left the airport.

Jack, Brent, Mr. Ward, and Gilbert were in one car while Jeweline was being kicked by Gilbert to the car behind.

Gilbert felt nervous and wrung his hands as he looked at Jack who appeared stern. He was Patrick’s right-hand man and his achievements today were because of Patrick’s gift to him for his dedication. So Jack was in some sense was his benefactor’s son!

Now, their reception at the airport had caused Jack to be so upset and cold towards him.

“Not to be repeated,” Jack said coldly and broke the silence in the car.

Gilbert heaved a sigh of relief and quickly nodded, “Yes, yes, yes… I will remember Mr. Hughes’ words.”

After a pause, Gilbert raised to look at Jack and then smiled, “Mr. Hughes, for what purpose did you come to the Jeweline Group in secrecy?”
