Winner Takes All novel Chapter 780

The mocking voice filled the entire hall and at this moment, Shirley became totally horrified and panicked. Jack’s words were like a formless hand that dashed her final hopes and pushed her into the depths and darkness of hopelessness.

Even Mr. Ward, Amber, and Brent were shocked. The three of them did not even consider this possibility. When Mr. Ward and Brent decided that it was better to deal with this once and for all, it was in consideration that Jack had once been merciful to Shirley and now that it had involved Amber, it was difficult to ensure that it would not happen again. Now Shirley had been implicated in the accident and Jack’s words had made it clear to them. All of a sudden, it was totally justified for them to kill Shirley.

Jack shrugged, looked sinisterly at Shirley, and said, “You indeed look innocent, pitiful and innocent. You acted very well inclusive of your very convincing cries.” Jack rubbed his nose and chuckled, “But you must have forgotten that between the two of us, it had always been me toying with you rather than you setting me up. I am fully aware of your deceptions.”

Kaboom! Shirley’s body shuddered, was immediately deflated, and collapsed onto the ground. Hopelessness, despair, disdain, and all sorts of emotions overwhelmed her, inclusive of regret.

She should not have tacitly agreed and instigated someone to kill Jack. Now, not only was that unsuccessful, the plot had backfired and even plunged herself into the abyss…

Her tears continued to flow as she filled the hall with the sounds of her sobs. Except that now her sobs seemed genuine compared to her wails a moment ago.

Amber appeared to ponder deeply as she hesitated to speak out. Thereafter, Jack signaled Brent to leave and said calmly, “Let Marshall handle the rest.”

“Yes, Master.” Mr. Ward nodded respectfully.

Since Marshall was also going to die, he would terminate the entire Turner family mercilessly. Mr. Ward was not worried that Marshall would escape. The Hughes family could easily locate someone who was once the supervisor of the local office. Marshall would also not be so stupid as to try to escape. If he were to escape, then his family would be terminated. Under such circumstances, unless Marshall had lost his mind, he would terminate the Turner family and then wait for his end.

As for Shirley, her fate was sealed when Jack saw through her deception. She could not escape from the Hughes local office. No one bothered with the devastated Shirley because she was no different than the unconscious Austin.

They drove away from the local office and towards the hotel. It was dead silent inside the car. Jack noticed that Amber seemed troubled. Amber had left for a period of time after what had happened previously. It was also obvious that Amber had been traumatized by what happened tonight.

Amber shook her head and barely smiled, “I’m trying to understand you. I’m fine.”

Jack smiled, used his right hand to tilt Amber’s head to rest onto his chest to rest.

It was already very late when they reached the hotel. Steve, Rosie, and Daisy were puzzled as to where Jack and the rest had gone to. Jack was able to find an excuse and allay their concerns. After all, they were at a sightseeing region and it was normal for Jack to deviate from their planned itinerary.
