The uncomfortable penetrating chilliness.
As Jack spoke, the corner of his mouth slowly turned upwards, showing a scary sneer.
His eyes were burning, like a sword piercing people’s hearts.
Steve and Mr. Ward were stunned; their body broke out with gooseflesh.
Steve asked Mr. Ward, “What does Amber’s father-in-law mean? Amber is her daughter-in-law, and the child is his blood grandchild!”
Compared with Jack, Steve who was older seemed calmer.
He did not believe the master of the grand Hughes Family could sit still and be calm when his bloodline was in danger.
He must have some inside story to have such “cringing” request.
Otherwise, for someone as protective as Patrick of Jack, could still be calm at this moment seemed quite unbelievable.
Mr. Ward’s gaze was deep, and he said in a low voice, “Old master did not say much, he only mentioned that Kool Family’s involvement is too deep and complicated.”
“With this sentence, you want to put me on hold?”
Without waiting for Steve to respond, Jack sneered, “He is aware of Kool Family background, but he had never mentioned anything about it. My wife is still in danger now and my child has died, he is a father, and also a grandfather, how could he say such thing asking me to be on hold, don’t you think that is ridiculous?”
Even Steve’s expression had changed and looked extremely dim.
He could calmly guess that Patrick must have other inside story.
But such response from him was perfunctory!
As a father, his daughter had encountered such catastrophe, how could he just put revenge on hold after hearing such response?
However.
Puff!
Mr. Ward knelt down in front of Jack and Steve then begged, “Master, Master Steve, please calm down and postpone your revenge!”
“Old master knows a lot about Kool Family, he must be considering things from bigger picture, there must be reasons that he can’t tell!”
The sudden scene changed Steve’s expression drastically.
As for Jack, he seemed cold as if his face was covered with thick layer of frost.
“Mr. Ward, are you going to stop me?”
The gloomy chill from Jack’s body could be felt by Mr. Ward, he was by frost and snow and his whole body felt cold.
But his flushing eyes were extremely firm.
Mr. Ward said in deep voice, “I could use my life in exchange for you to postpone your revenge, this is an order from the old master!”
“Damn!”
Jack squeezed a word out from his grinding teeth.
Steve on the side furrowed his brows deeply, his gaze was tense and he was drowned in his own thought.
“Master…”
Mr. Ward continued begging.
But before he could say anything else, Jack waved his hand flagrantly, “Mr. Ward, this is a revenge I’m going to take for my wife and child, let alone you, even if Patrick comes here himself, it is impossible to stop me.”
He did not call him father, but by his name Patrick directly.
At this moment, Jack was extremely furious.
His eyes were as red as blood, staring at Mr. Ward.
Upon hearing the words,
Mr. Ward’s expression became gloomy, his lips shivered.
Facing Jack at that exact moment, he felt a sense of hesitation as he did not know how to dissuade him.
On one side it was Jack who was already obsessed with revenge, and on another side it was Patrick’s order, what could he possibly do?
At that exact moment,
“Jack, Mr. Ward is using his life to stop it.”
Steve suddenly spoke, his wrinkled eyes were stretched.
Jack frowned, and asked Steve in surprise, “Father, even you think it should be put on hold?”
He did not know why Patrick asked Mr. Ward to stop him from taking revenge immediately using his life just because his enemy was Kool Family.
But Steve’s response now left him confused and puzzled.
He was Amber’s biological father!
“Your father has his own reason.”
Steve said solemnly, “Mr. Ward has already used his life to stop it, do you want him dead in front of us? It is alright to put revenge on hold, but we must investigate thoroughly.”
His words turned sharp towards the end, showing determination and seriousness.
Jack’s eyes flickered.
