Winner Takes All novel Chapter 665

Throughout most of his life he had suffered various ups and downs.

But Patrick had never been in such a helpless and desperate situation like this before.

Jack had blatantly provoked the Hughes family, caused their family to lose their position at the top and crashed it down to the bottom, and now had even killed George who was one of the heirs of the Hughes family.

A cruel but swift and resolute death.

The killing was done so bluntly that Patrick was unable to find any way to help Jack to get out of this situation.

The Hughes family would never tolerate this.

Not even the Long Thriving Noble Family would dare do what Jack did to the Hughes family.

Patrick, as the head of the Hughes family, must protect the dignity, reputation and fairness of this family.

But now his own son had done something so unforgivable and terrible, and because this was his son, it was making him hesitate on what to do.

He wanted to get Jack out of this situation, but what could he do?

His thoughts were turning restlessly; but no clues, he really was in a great state of turmoil.

When Madam Hughes and Carter finally entered the Meeting hall.

The gazes that were fixated onto Patrick immediately shifted towards the direction of the entrance.

“Madam Hughes, we have been waiting for you.”

Archer spoke first and said rather impatiently.

What a dog!

Jack who was sat in his wheelchair felt sick when he looked over at Archer.

He really was a despicable and shameless person who always seemed to be searching for some sense of purpose.

“Master, now that everyone has assembled here; it’s time to make a decision!”

With Carter’s help, Madam Hughes sat down next to Patrick and gave him no chance to say anything else.

For he needed to hurry and make a decision!

To ensure no troubles would arise later!

Since the beginning she had predicted that Jack wouldn’t be able to kill George, and that the Kill Declaration would determine whether he would live or die.

But George now who had been killed meant that a life of an heir of the Hughes family was involved.

And now Madam Hughes was sure on one thing, that even if Patrick held a highly esteemed position within this family, there was no way to get Jack out of this situation.

Now was a golden opportunity and Madam Hughes would not let it slip away.

Once she had said this, everyone’s gaze once again rested upon Patrick.

Everyone was all waiting.

They just needed to wait for whatever would come out from his mouth next.

This matter had affected the whole family, and even with the power and control he possessed, he was not allowed to spare even the slightest bit of mercy.

“Patrick, Jack may be your son, but this bastard has committed the most heinous of crime and yet you have been silent on the matter for a long time now. Could it be you wish to cover up for him?”

Archer was full of anger and took the lead in attacking Patrick.

This scene stunned many people inside the room.

But at the same time, everyone agreed with what Archer had said.

Even though they could see the internal strife between Patrick and Archer.

However, this was what everyone had wanted to see!

“Swoosh”

Patrick slowly opened his eyes.

However he didn’t respond immediately but looked at Jack in the wheelchair with a painful expression on his face.

Blood is thicker than water.

But now, everyone was forcing him to betray and kill his own son!

He felt as if his heart had been cut, and unable to breath from the pain.

Patrick, as the head of the Hughes family, his usual dignified look had completely vanished at this point.

He was full of despair and unable to be apart from his son.

His eyes were beginning to turn red, tears were lingering within his eyes.

He made no effort to conceal this.

If people were to hear about this, then it would certainly cause ridicule from the other rich and powerful families.

For who could ever have imagined that the head of the Hughes family, who had always displayed such arrogance and prestige would actually possess such a soft heart?

This scene caused Madam Hughes and Carter to both sneer inside.

The murderous intent inside their eyes was turbulent to the extreme.

Patrick, with how matters stand currently, did you still stand a chance?

As she gazed at Patrick, Madam Hughes didn’t even attempt to hide the grin on her face.

In the past, Jack had committed murder crimes time and time again, but under Patrick’s reckless protection, Jack was always left unscathed from his actions.

But this time, now that the whole Hughes family was involved, if Patrick dared to protect Jack once more in this case, then he wouldn’t be unable to convince everyone, and his position as the head of the Hughes family would become unstable?

“Patrick, how long do you intend to make us wait?”

Sensing Patrick’s hesitation, Madam Hughes urged and whined, “Could it be that I have to wait until the bones of George turn cold, and the Hughes family is left with nothing but humiliation, before you finally make a decision?”

“Madam Hughes!”
