Winner Takes All novel Chapter 741

Amelia left.

In comparison with her exhausted and worried look when she came, she left looking a little more at ease.

Truman was the richest man in Sunam.

It was enough to hinder Amelia from moving on with her plan!

However, Jack’s appearance had given her hope amidst her confusion.

Since the external parties oppressed the Quinn Family, then only other external parties can help them to solve this issue.

Jim came out too and met Amelia coincidentally.

The two people nodded to each other as a form of greeting.

Jim said, “You have been doing well. Now that Mr. Hughes is involved too, everything will be much easier on you.”

“Yeah. By the way, thanks a lot to your family for the help too,” Amelia said to Jim gratefully.

She had been anxious for the past few days because of what happened to the Quinn Family.

The dependence of Cissie’s family on Truman had tempted the other members of the Quinn Family. Slowly, some of their businesses were changing their nature as well.

Fortunately, the Zhuge Family, which was a Long Thriving Family had been helping Amelia oppress them.

Otherwise, the whole family would be in a deeper mess!

“That’s my job.” Jim didn’t mind it at all.

The Zhuge Family had relied on Jack to become the most affluent family in X City. They were bringing back their glory days once again.

This wasn’t just an ordinary favour.

It was also their first step to follow the real leader.

Since the family had made their decision, then everyone in X City could be said to be on the same boat. As the most influential family in X City, if the Zhuge family ignored the Quinn Family under Jack, what kind of follower of them?

“Hopefully everything can be settled soon. I’ll get going first, Little Jim.”

Amelia nodded. When she was about to leave, Jim called out to her.

“What’s wrong?” Amelia looked at Jim in confusion. Then, she realized that he had a strange expression on.

Jim moved his lips, and finally spoke slowly, “Don’t call me Little Jim. Jim is good enough. Little Jim makes me sound feminine.”

Amelia was stunned, then soon responded with a soft chuckle.

While watching Amelia leave, Jim’s gaze turned sharp as he mumbled to himself.

“With Mr. Hughes on the team, Russell family was nothing to us.”

From Jim’s words, one could know that he had great confidence in Jack.

Knock knock!

Jim turned and knocked on Jack’s door.

After getting Jack’s permission, then only he entered the room.

“You met Amelia?”

Jack held onto his teacup and took small sips of tea slowly.

“Yeah. She looked much better than before.” Jim nodded.

Jack placed his cup down and said in an appreciative tone, “About this, we need to thank your family for all the help given. It has helped Amelia so much.”

They discussed the whole incident in details.

Jack asked about other things too, and found Amelia’s answers to be satisfactory.

Until today, he was still displeased about the fact that Aiden had back-stabbed them.

And because of this, he was a little biased towards Drago when it came to the allocation of resources.

Although brute force was involved in making Drago obey him, but that didn’t matter.

When compared to Aiden, who was careful in every step he made, Drago who was more carefree and expressed his emotions freely was easier to handle.

Right now, the Zhuge Family was what Jack was worried of.

As a Long Thriving Family, the end of them would be displeasing if they followed Aiden’s ways of doing things.

“You don’t need to thank me. My grandfather taught us that it’s our responsibility as the member of the Long Thriving Family to do those things.”

Jim replied humbly. While making himself clear, he remained composed.

Jack raised his brows, “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

“Mr. Hughes, my grandfather knows that you’re coming today so he has set up a banquet at our family home. I’d like to invite you to the Zhuge Residence tonight for a welcoming party especially set up for you.”

“It’s fine and I appreciate your grandfather’s hard work. But I just want to settle the Quinn Family’s matters as soon as possible in this trip, and would return home soon after. There’s no need to go through so much trouble for me.“

Jack waved his hand and rejected Jim’s invitation right away.

His response stunned Jim for a second.

Jim wanted to persuade Jack again, but upon seeing his determination, he decided against it.

Nodding, he said, “I’ll head back and inform my grandfather.”

After Jim left, Jack shook his head helplessly.

“I’m worried about the Zhuge Family, and they are concerned about me too. If it wasn’t because Amber was at home, I really should have attended the banquet.”

Jack understood what the Zhuge Family was thinking about.
