Winner Takes All novel Chapter 600

A war of gunshots disrupted the entire Hughes Family.

The gloomy skies that had been looming over the family for the past two days from the assassination seemed to have gotten darker when George was shot.

At the courtyard of George’s villa.

The number of his servants and guards had been increased to 500 people. It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that the place was fully packed.

The members of the Hughes Family were standing in the house.

Some looked gloomy, some sullen, while some looked calm as usual…

The Hughes Family was one that stood high above as they looked down on all the other wealthy families from the top of the pyramid.

It was deadly enough that people barged into the Hughes Family’s territory and ran wild around here.

What more to say assassinating the heir to the head of the Hughes Family here!

This was not only a provocation to them, but it had disrespected the Hughes Family. It was as if they had been dragged down from their throne into the mud! And even stepped on for that matter!

Everyone was suppressing their anger and trying to keep their rationality.

The room was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

All of their gazes were fixed on the doctor who was treating George before his bed.

There were three doctors and nine nurses, whom all were the experts comparable to the best in the world.

In a short time, the medical team had managed to turn George’s bedroom into a surgery room, and they were ready to perform an operation to save him.

However, under the intense stares of the Hughes’, all the doctors and nurses were nervous. It was evident from the beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Finally, with the heave of a sigh from one of the doctors, the silence in the room was broken.

Slowly, the doctor removed his gloves, then his mask before sighing in relief, “Thank god that the bullet did not hit any vital organs or his heart when it went through his chest. Young Master George is safe now.”

At the sound of that, the other members of the Hughes Family loosened up too.

Some were even letting out the breath they had been holding in for too long.

“Doctor, when can he regain consciousness?” Ivy asked.

“As the bullet did not cause any serious injuries, Young Master George should be able to wake up in one or two days.” The doctor replied.

“Thank you, doctor.”

Killian, who was by the side pushed his spectacles up the bridge of his nose before instructing the servants behind him, “Prepare some reward for the medical team.”

All the three doctors and nine nurses widened their eyes in surprise.

Anyone who treated any member of the Hughes Family would be nicely rewarded.

What more to say if it was the heir to the head of the family who they saved this time around!

When the medical team left.

A voice travelled from outside all of a sudden.

“Madam Hughes has arrived!”

In an instant, everyone’s expression became serious as they stood up and prepared to welcome her.

“Welcome, Madam Hughes!”

All of them greeted loudly towards the outside of the villa.

Madam Hughes was the eldest in the family and had everyone’s respect.

Her position was a lot higher than the rest, and even the family head had to respect her well.

As Carter supported Madam Hughes, she walked into George’s room slowly.

When she saw George lying on his bed, lifeless and conscious, her walking stick fell to the floor.

Thud!

Madam Hughes stepped on her walking stick angrily and scolded, “Bastard, they’re such bastards! No one dared to humiliate us like this before!”

Her voice was thunderous.

It was loud enough to induce fear in everyone present.

Everyone could feel the fury through her words.

The next second.

Madam Hughes turned around in determination. In an instant, she changed into another persona completely, as if the person who was hurrying earlier wasn’t her. She didn’t even seem tired anymore.

Everyone could notice the authoritative look on her face. It was like she was the head of this family.

Slowly, she spoke in a stern tone, “Where is Patrick Hughes? Where is he when something this serious has happened in our family? Does he remember that he is the head of the Hughes Family? George is one of the heirs, so is Patrick still going to sit idly by after something this serious has happened? Does he not care about us being humiliated at all?”

All of her words were questioning and sharp.

It made everyone’s expressions change instantly.
