Winner Takes All novel Chapter 659

The time had finally arrived…

On hearing, Patrick stopped fiddling with the cigarette in his fingers. He had been waiting for this moment. As the head of the family, he could not reveal his intentions to the rest of the power holders of the Hughes family before Jack arrived. Things would start to get dicey as soon as he expressed his thoughts. If he had expressed his intentions before Jack came, the rest of them would be prepared and gang up to act against them!

Madam Hughes and Carter grinned and their eyes lit up at the same time.

In the meeting hall, Archer and the rest of them exchanged looks. They didn’t know the deeper reasons for Jack’s arrival other than this event was rather abrupt. Why did this bastard… come so suddenly?

“Where is he?” Patrick asked.

The servant answered respectfully, “Young master Jack had gone to look for master George.”

Kaboom! It was as if a loud boom rocked Patrick’s mind blank. But it lasted barely a second.

Then he immediately came to his senses and then demanded sternly, “Why didn’t he come directly to see me now that he is here?” His voice was thunderous.

Archer and the rest exchanged looks in surprise and none of them knew why Patrick was so furious. Even Madam Hughes and Carter looked curiously at each other. At this moment, their happiness at what was happening was written all over their faces.

Jack… had done marvelously!

“Madam Hughes will take over this meeting. I’ll go and see what my son is up to!” Patrick flicked off his cigarette and stormed out of the meeting hall, leaving the rest guessing.

After he walked out of the meeting hall, Patrick increased his pace and then broke out into a run towards where George was. His anxiety stunned all the servants who saw him. The head of the family had always been steady as a rock and had never displayed any of such emotions.

Patrick didn’t care about these and just continued to run as he started to perspire.

‘Jack, why don’t you give your dad a chance to eliminate your foes?’ Patrick thought.

He knew that Jack was determined to kill George. Jack’s wife and close friend had almost died in George’s hands. This was enough to cause any man to rage violently.

There was nothing that Patrick could do with Jack’s arrival but Patrick hoped that when Jack came back to the Hughes residence, he would at look for him first. At least in this manner, they would have a chance to work things out.

In addition, if Jack went to see Patrick first, Patrick was able to guarantee that he could protect Jack even if Jack was to kill George.

But now all these were too sudden! It was so sudden that Patrick’s heart almost jumped out of him.

The “Kill Declaration” was delivered and now death was heading towards George. There was no fear of the Hughes family. He did not even consider seeing his father first.

Ruthlessly eliminate… and it was time to kill.

‘Jack, wait for me. Wait for dad, don’t be impulsive…’ Patrick ran frantically as he clenched his teeth. He was in deep thoughts as he focused intently. He clenched his fists until they crackled.
