Winner Takes All novel Chapter 658

"Welcome Madam Hughes!"

The crowd was calling out together.

Patrick, who had his eyes closed all this time, also opened them.

Different than the standing crowd, he was still sitting on his chair.

"Everyone, sit down."

Madam Hughes said calmly.

Her first sight landed on Patrick.

When she saw that Patrick didn't get up, she wasn't mad at all, on the contrary, some joy flashed through her eyes.

"Sharp woman!"

Patrick cursed in his heart.

Madam Hughes' reaction allowed him to take a guess.

If Madam Hughes didn't know who released the "Kill Declaration", with what he knew about her, simply him sitting in his chair instead of getting up to welcome her, would have been enough to make Madam Hughes scold him.

"Madam Hughes, what should we do about this? Why don't you give an idea?"

Archer solemnly and respectfully gestured to Madam Hughes.

After he said that.

The crowd immediately became loud again.

"Kill! He has to be killed, kill his whole family, and other related families as well!"

"The Hughes family has never been humiliated like this before, if we don't use this as a warning to others, the Hughes family will never has it's old powers again."

"Madam Hughes, give the order, it needs to be investigated completely, let me do it personally, let me put this arrogant and reckless person's head on the archway to the Hughes house to overawe the wealthy families."

...

Faced with the excitement of the crowd.

Madam Hughes laughed in her sleeve, the attitude of everyone present was representing the attitude of every member of the Hughes family.

This time, I wanna see how you can save that bastard?

But, Madam Hughes pretended to be calm, her eyes looking at Patrick.

"Patrick, you are the head of the family, this is a big matter, why are you not saying anything?"

Clearly, she wanted to force Patrick to say his opinion.

But after she spoke and before Patrick was even able to answer.

Archer immediately took over the word and said, "Madam Hughes, don't mention it, the head of the family was the one that got the "Kill Declaration" first. Look at us, we are all so anxious about it, but he is the only one that hasn't said a single word yet, he hasn't spoken once."

Patrick's eyes looked at Archer with applause, but still didn't speak up.

"Archer, are you tripping?"

Madam Hughes knitted her brows, her face showed some anger.

She was planning on forcing Patrick to say something.

Almost the whole family was there, only Jack hadn't arrived.

Only if Patrick will say his attitude, then it will all be nailed down, his words carry the weight.

This was a major matter, if Patrick spoke, he wouldn't say something euphemistic or meandering.

To keep calming down everyone, he would for sure be determined.

As soon as he spoke.

As soon as Jack arrived, everyone would kill him.

As the head of the family, Patrick expressed his position in advance, even if God descended to the earth, he could not be able to rewind the situation.

But now, Archer broke Madam Hughes' plan with a single sentence.

"Madam Hughes, I..."

Archer wanted to argue.

Madam Hughes said with a solemn expression, "Shut up! For such a major event, the head should make a decision. The man must be killed. The focus is on how? To just kill one person, his family, kill his close relatives. And further we need to quieten down the effects that this 'Kill Declaration' had on the Hughes family, a series of decisions that need to be made by the head of the family."

With that being said, Madam Hughes made no secret of her contempt for Archer, "You are not the head of the family. At this critical moment you are trying to take over his word, do you have any motives?"

After the scolding, Archer's face flushed instantly and he was speechless.

He never considered the first sentence.

In the latter sentence, he didn't even dare to answer.

His status in the Hughes family was high enough, and he enjoyed what he was allowed to.

But if he really admitted that he had an ulterior motive towards the family head, with his ability, it was clear that he would not live long.

"Master... please make a quick decision!"

Madam Hughes spoke up to force Patrick.

All eyes were looking at him.

All those in power in the Hughes family also looked at Jack.
