Winner Takes All novel Chapter 620

Inside the Buddhist temple.

The sound of chanting echoed.

The sandalwood fragrance was everywhere.

After George made the decision, he had quickly mobilized his trusted servants and guards like a maniac and quietly left the Hughes family without being noticed by anyone.

Killian was full of grief and indignation.

But he knew that George was a madman and could not be stopped at all.

Now, he had followed Madam Hughes and Carter back to the Buddhist temple.

Killian finally couldn’t stop himself from asking, “Grandma, this matter has not been thoroughly investigated. We have accused, only based on our guess, that the person who has issued the assassination mission of Dark Net Assassin Squad is Jack. It would be a disaster for George!”

He wasn’t trying to help Jack.

On the contrary, he was even more eager for Jack to die.

As soon as Jack died, he was going to lose a strong competitor in the competition to be the head of the family.

But he knew very clearly, that how much George would be harmed with just one word from Madam Hughes.

It was… forcefully pushing George into the fire pit and sending him on the way to hell!

If the person who issued the assassination was not Jack, the iron-clad laws of the Hughes family alone were enough for Patrick to order George to die a thousand times!

Even if it was Jack, George had done the job himself and now it was going to be very hard for him to escape death.

By leaving the Hughes family, he not only had to face countless assassins from the Dark Net Assassin Squad, but he was more likely to be killed by Jack himself!

If he was an outsider, he wouldn’t have said anything.

Even if he had seen through it, he wouldn’t have said anything. He would have even helped Madam Hughes bewitch.

But George was his own brother. Now that he saw George sullenly jumping into the trap, he couldn’t bear it as his older brother.

Madam Hughes who was twirling the Buddhist beads and chanting, suddenly stopped.

Her old face was full of disappointment, her brows frowned as she said in a deep voice, “Killian, could it be that I misjudged you and shouldn’t have put my hope in you?”

Anxious Killian froze immediately, panic flashed in his eyes.

Madam Hughes slowly sighed with regret, “Those who make great achievements must be ruthless. A great man has to be ruthless. If you don’t take risks and let the head of the family protect that bastard, do you think you can be qualified to become the next head of the family?”

“Have you forgotten that even when that bastard wielded a knife on me, the head of the family didn’t blame him a bit.”

*Boom*

A huge wave was set off in Killian’s heart.

In a daze, he recalled everything since the appearance of Jack.

Madam Hughes words made him panic.

Given the paternal protection that Jack had, the probability of Killian becoming the head of the family was almost nonexistent if Jack did not die.

There was no exception, even if his grandmother stood beside him in support.

“George is the risk that we have to take!”

Madam Hughes raised her head and stared at Killian indifferently, “If you don’t remove the obstacles in the way of your future by sacrificing George, then how would you become the head of the family?”

“But… But he is my own brother.” Killian’s expressions looked complicated.

“Huh? Brother? Compared to the position of the head of the Hughes family, which one is more important? Can’t you figure it out?”

Madam Hughes sneered and then her expressions suddenly became stern, “Killian, I value you. I want to push you to the position of the head of the Hughes family because I value your abilities and temperament. The head of the Hughes family who holds the most power and wealth can only be someone sophisticated and talented enough to guide this family towards more power and glory. But you… made me very disappointed!”

Killian’s body shuddered and he knelt on the ground in fear.

When Madam Hughes berating him, he panicked horribly.

Just a word “disappointment” was probably enough to make him fall out Madam Hughes’s good books.
