Winner Takes All novel Chapter 655

That night.

Mr. Ward was awake all night, tossing and turning.

Meanwhile, the Hughes family who were thousands of miles away.

Patrick had been sitting in his study room all night.

His ashtray was full of cigarettes butts.

The entire room was filled with the pungent smell of smoke.

He knew he needed to stop but he was unable to.

But Patrick had never been in such turmoil before.

He knew that how terrible things could be if Jack killed George inside the house of the Hughes family.

However he knew better than anyone, that no one could stop this from happening!

Even as his biological father, there was nothing he could do.

No matter what, there was going to be trouble!

At this point, the whole night Patrick had been thinking about how he could help Jack to clean the mess afterwards.

As the head of the Hughes family, he didn’t care at all for George’s life.

Blood for blood, it never changes.

Not only Jack, but even he thought that George should be killed.

After all, George was one of the potential heirs of the Hughes family.

However, the assassination of Jack was carried out secretly by George.

Even when Patrick was overseeing the Hughes family, he didn’t know that George had secretly gone out to do this, and therefore he didn’t even know that he had returned once he had done this.

The whole of the Hughes family would never know that George had tried to kill Jack first.

Instead, in their eyes they would only ever see Jack trying to kill George.

This was the key point!

Even as the head of the Hughes family, it was hard to protect a person who had killed the heir of Hughes family .

“Just how to save Jack?”

Patrick was extremely disappointed, and as he looked up at the sky and rubbed his face, then he looked at the ceiling and muttered sadly, “Sophie, how am I going to help Jack get through this mess?”

He had never thought of blaming Jack, but instead as his father he had only ever thought about how to protect Jack.

But alas, even after thinking about it all night, he had still come up with no solution.

It was starting to turn bright outside.

A loud scream then suddenly woke the entire Hughes family in an instant.

Hearing the loud scream from far away.

“Come yet?”

Patrick with his tired face looked agonized.

His red eyes were glistening.

Then suddenly.

“Not good, this is not good!”

A servant of the Hughes family hurriedly panicked and stumbled to the courtyard outside the study room and then suddenly knelt down onto the ground.

As a servant he did not have permission to charge into the head of the Hughes family’s study room.

Patrick pressed his two hands on the table, and suddenly felt powerless at this moment.

Why had dawn arrived so quickly?

Why couldn’t he be given just a little more time?

With every step he took, Patrick began to feel more and more agonized.

As soon as he walked out of the study room.

He saw the servant who was kneeling on the ground looked terrified, holding a white letter with both hands above his head.

“Give that to me!”

Patrick stretched out his hand.

The servant hurriedly got up and bowed forward as he handed the white letter over to Patrick.

Although this white piece of paper alone was nothing special.

It was what was written on it that caused Patrick’s heart to race.

The words written in red, even after the ink had dried, you could still see some smudge marks next to some of the strokes.

It was blood!

There were just a few words written in blood!

They wrote, ‘Today, I must kill George!’

These five words written in blood were written at the top of the paper.

This was not a threat, this was real and enough to make any member of the Hughes family go into panic.

“Master…”

Patrick saw that the servant look weak and pale .

Even though his heart tightened when he looked back at these five words.
