Winner Takes All novel Chapter 779

It was a harsh sentence without any means for anyone to retaliate nor explain. It felt like the sky had fallen.

Marshall began to feel dizzy as he knelt until he could not kneel anymore. He went limp and slumped onto the ground. Hopelessness, terror, and all sorts of emotions stirred within Marshall. He began to tremble and his face became pale as a sheet of paper.

He was gripped with fear and horror.

Tonight’s tragedy was totally unexpected. If it was not for Saxon’s call, how could he have offended his own master? His master had come to South Maine and did not notify the local Hughes office obviously because he did not want others to know about his travel plans.

If not for tonight’s incident, he would not have clashed with Master Hughes and when Master Hughes left, Marshall would still be the local big wig of South Maine.

But now…

Marshall could only wail within himself and curse the Turner family in his heart.

Jack sat in his wheelchair and was satisfied with what Mr. Ward did. Marshall had disrespected Jack’s wife and it was only appropriate to rage and punish him. Furthermore, Jack was clear that Mr. Ward was using this opportunity to decisively terminate a dissident like Marshall regardless of who was backing Marshall at the Hughes family. After eradicating Marshall, an ally of his father could be installed at the South Maine office. Although a small office was insignificant to the Hughes family, all these add up.

“You have something that you need to do before your death.” Mr. Ward said coldly as he stood beside Jack, glared at Marshall, and continued, “If you do it well, only you will die. If not, your entire family will be wiped out.”

Kaboom!

The ruthless words were like frozen daggers stabbing into his heart. Marshall looked up at Mr. Ward in despair and desperation.

“I know that you are upset but the person you offended is the son of the Head of the Hughes family and the future heir!” What Mr. Ward said dashed Marshall’s last hopes.

Marshall knew at this point that the end was near. He took a deep breath as if he mustered all his strength to say, “I will personally ensure that the Turner family will cease to exist in South Maine by tomorrow.”

“You are a smart man.” Mr. Ward said as he waved for Marshall to leave.

After Marshall left, Jack slowly shifted his gaze towards Shirley and the unconscious Austin. From the moment this incident happened, Shirley had been nonchalant and seemed detached. She laid on the ground and was cold and staring blanking.

The series of events was like a roller coaster to her. A moment ago she had been hoping to use the Turner family’s might to revenge against Jack. But now, Jack had turned things around and ruined the Turner family. Even whoever backed the Turner family could not escape from Jack’s wrath. Her hopes of power, wealth, and fame had vanished into thin air.

Furthermore…

Although she was in a daze, she had heard every word spoken by Mr. Ward and Marshall. Now, the terror of death started to envelop her entirely.

No one bothered with the unconscious Austin whose four limbs were broken. Since the judgment had been made to eliminate the Turner family, the unconscious Austin was as good as dead. No one would bother if she was alive or not at this point.

Jack and Amber looked emotionlessly at the dazed Shirley. Because of what happened initially, both Jack and Amber felt that Shirley could not disassociate herself from the traffic accident. Austin was the perpetrator and Shirley who was in the front passenger seat was the accomplice.
