When Jack saw Amber downstairs of EnRich building materials company, she looked like a little girl who had made a big mistake, and showed him her tongue.
“Alright alright, I will pay for today’s lunch.”
Jack laughed happily, and stretched out a hand to scrape her nose.
“Definitely, it’s your punishment for not telling me!”
Even though he was very curious about Amber’s family, he didn’t want to ask much, same as Amber never asked him more about his mysterious supporter.
The two of them were in good harmony on this matter.
Amber picked a restaurant, and the two of them ordered a few dishes, and were chatting while eating.
The aura was very harmonious.
It did not feel awkward even though Amber’s new position has been recovered.
When they were halfway through their meal, suddenly a phone call interrupted their conversation.
It was a phone call from Daisy.
Did something happen to his mother?
Jack knitted his brows, and immediately took the call.
“Mr. Hughes, something happened, Brent was beaten up!”
As soon as he connected the line, he heard Daisy crying.
Jack’s expression darkened.
Brent was beaten up?
How could that be possible?
Brent, who had killed countless people, a well known killer, even he was beat, it shouldn’t be Daisy who rush to cry for help.
“Where?” Jack asked.
No matter what it was, he had to be there right away.
“At the construction site of Seasky estate...” Daisy was still crying hopelessly, “I am so sorry, it was me, I am the one to be blamed.”
When he hung up the phone, Jack’s brows were knitted.
Why did Daisy go to the construction site?
When he hired Daisy, he knew that she used to work at constructions.
But now that she had already changed her job, why did she still have anything to do with that?
And now Brent was beaten up!
“What happened?”
Amber saw that Jack wasn’t looking well, and asked worriedly.
Jack shook his head, and said guiltily, “I am so sorry Amber, something happened to Daisy and Brent, I have to go there now to check on them, I can’t stay with you.”
He didn’t keep that from Amber.
Amber immediately changed, stood up with her bag, “What are you waiting for? I am coming with you!”
Jack was startled, and felt warmth in his heard.
But he stopped her, “You don’t need to come along, go back to work, I will get it solved.”
“But...” Amber didn’t want to stay.
Jack laughed, and patted her head, “It’s alright, just listen to me, nothing will happen.”
Amber nodded, and took out the keys to her Porsche 911, giving them to Jack, “Take my car, I heard Daisy crying in the phone.”
Jack didn’t decline, he took the keys, paid for lunch and left the restaurant.
When he sat in the Porsche, his expression was very cold.
He didn’t allow Amber to come along because he was afraid there might be danger.
He knew Brent well enough, if he was able to teach the elite kid of Hughes family, he couldn’t be an easy man to defeat.
Plus, with his rich experience of killing people. On a normal day, no man could defeat him.
Daisy only said that Brent was beaten, but the danger that were written between her words, were enough to make Jack get goosebumps.
He stepped on the gas, and the Porsche roared like a beast.
Seasky estate was one of the biggest estates of this city.
