Winner Takes All novel Chapter 622

Early the next morning.

Mr. Ward and Yael rested for the night and woke up early in the morning. Both of them walked into the study at the same time and chuckled when they saw each other.

“Both of you woke up so early?” Daisy was monitoring the computer and remarked in surprise.

“I’ve nothing on and had slept enough.” Mr. Ward yawned and was startled when he looked at Daisy, “Daisy, why are your eyes red and swollen?”

Daisy panicked when she heard that and quickly looked into the mirror. Then she said nonchalantly, “It’s okay, I look like that whenever I work through the night.”

Mr. Ward smiled awkwardly and said, “Go and take a rest.”

Once Daisy left, Mr. Ward heaved a sigh, and said to Yael, “Daisy must have cried for a long time last night.”

Both of them could tell why Daisy’s eyes were red and swollen but it wasn’t appropriate for them to expose her lie.

Both of them sat in front of the computer and inspected all the information Daisy had gathered. In the end, both of them felt helpless. All of the information was unusable.

Both of them leaned back onto the chair at the same time.

Yael was upset and said, “With the abilities of this city, the help of Minister Mable, the Quinn family of X city, the Wattson and Vaughn families of the capital, the QY International group from overseas, and even the wide-reaching intelligence of the Hughes family, why can’t they find out where Jack is? Couldn’t they even find a lead to his whereabouts?”

There was no trace of him after three days. Yael was furious to feel so helpless and useless.

“There must be a way, there is no perfect crime.” Mr. Ward said with certainty and continued, “The opponent must have come prepared for him to be able to hurt Brent to such an extent. The person must be very skilled and it will be difficult for us to investigate.”

Yael ruffled his hair in frustration, “Isn’t the mysterious person, who you all are referring to, constantly keeping an eye on Jack? Why didn’t he do anything this time? Could it be that he was the one responsible for it?” What Yael said immediately caused Mr. Ward to be unsettled.

Had it been the past, he would have believed Yael’s guess. But after the trip to the North, had it not been the timely arrival of the mysterious man, all three of them would have died there. With that incident, now Mr. Ward was unable to be certain if this was done by the mysterious man.

Just at this moment, Mr. Ward’s phone rang.

“It’s Lone Wolf.” Mr. Ward said solemnly to Yael.

Yael’s expression turned dark. Lone Wolf had been looking after Brent at the hospital. The call must be about Brent.

Before Yael could hurry Mr. Ward, the call had been answered.

“Mr. Ward, Brent is awake!”
