Winner Takes All novel Chapter 823

This was…

Mr Ward held the Tao Te Ching and couldn't help but be lost in thought for a while. His brows furrowed.

At first, the mysterious man wanted Jack to control his bewitchedness. He picked specifically both Buddhist sutra and Tao Te Ching for master Hughes. Yet Jack only chose to keep the Tao Te Ching instead. But why was he reading the Buddhist sutra now?

Was it because he was bored with it?

Mr Ward glanced down at the Tao Te Ching. The incomprehension in his eyes grew more assertive.

"Go on."

Jack urged on and pushed himself to the central hall in his own wheelchair.

Without saying anything further, Mr. Ward turned around and walked out.

Whether it's Tao Te Ching or Buddhist sutra were very important in suppressing the bewitchedness in Jack. And the mysterious man was very clear about this.

If it could suppress Jack's bewitchedness, what's wrong with reading Buddhist sutra or Tao Te Ching?

In central hall.

Amber was inside her room. The door was tightly shut.

The mysterious man, Brent, and Daisy were sitting on old-fashioned wooden chairs. They were holding a cup of tea in their hands while quietly enjoying it.

But none of them were in a peaceful state of mind which was revealed by their furrowing brows.

When Jack entered the hall.

The mysterious man was the first to put his teacup down and asked suspiciously, "Why did you give the Tao Te Ching to Mr Ward? You don’t want to read it anymore?"

After hearing this.

Brent and Daisy also looked at Jack worriedly.

"Nah, I'm just tired of it."

Jack waved his hand and said with a smile, "I've asked Mr Ward to help me find a few more Buddhist sutra. Since I'll be staying in the bamboo grove for a while anyway, I'll read a few more of the Buddhist sutra as a way to meditate and concentrate. Didn't you also bring the Tao Te Ching and a lot of Buddhist sutra for me?"

"Ah, okay."

The mysterious man visibly sighed with relief.

Brent and Daisy looked relieved.

Everyone knew that Tao Te Ching and the Buddhist sutra were the keys to meditate and suppress the bewitchedness in Jack's heart. Until now, the truth was still unknown to him.

If Jack did not continue reading these scriptures because he was tired of reading them, that would be real trouble.

Once this happened, it meant that there was nothing to suppress Jack's bewitchedness.

Only then, the truth could be told to Jack.

"Amber hasn't come out yet?"

Jack glanced at the closed door of Amber's room with distress.

The mysterious man nodded.

Immediately, Jack said, "Ms Hill, please go to Amber's room later. Help me comfort and console her. I'll head back to my room to rest for a while. There are still a lot of things that needed to be handled with Lyndall through video call."

"Okay!"

Daisy nodded.

With that, Jack was pushing his wheelchair back to his room.

The curtains were shut.

Jack simply turned on a bedside lamp so that the room was dimly lit.

Then he turned on his computer and had a video call with Lyndall.

Nowadays, it could be described that Lyndall was in a position of great power.

But many things were difficult for him to grasp in a short amount of time. Even though Lyndall was a former underground king, and he ruled it with an iron fist.

So, it was still up to Jack to weigh in and distantly direct Lyndall on leading the company.

There were still three months before his father's birthday.

Even though what he had accomplished had far surpassed every Hughes family's younger generation's achievements, he still didn't dare to give up yet.

To be chosen as one of the heirs to the Hughes family was definitely the pinnacle of the Hughes family's generation.

Three months was neither long nor short.

During this time, the tables would be easily turned over by other heirs if he didn't continue to work hard.

There was knocking on the door.

"Who is it?"

Jack slowly opened his eyes and asked with a tired voice.

"Young Master, it's me."

The voice of Mr Ward rang out at the door.

"Come in."

Jack said.

Squeak…

The door swung opened.

Mr Ward walked in with a thick pile of Buddhist sutra in his arms and placed them on the desk with a complicated expression. And on top of the Buddhist sutra still lied the Tao Te Ching.

Mr Ward wiped his forehead before saying, "Young master, all these Buddhist sutras have been carefully selected by me. I also let the mysterious man look at them again before sending them to you together with the Tao Te Ching."

"Thanks."

Jack glanced profoundly at Mr Ward and nodded his head.

"Young master, have you just finished with the affairs?"

Mr Ward glanced at the computer. This was what he had heard from Amber and the others said when he came in just now.

"Well, there are big and small matters. And since Lyndall has just taken over, there are some stuff he can finish with the assistance of Corbin and Amelia. But there's still some stuff that I need to do it myself."

Jack rubbed his eyes tiredly, "This day of dealing with affairs is more tiring than a day of training."

Mr Ward smiled, "Don’t worry, I am here. I will also do my best to help young master in every way possible. Don’t worry about it.”

“Thank you, Mr Ward.”

Mr Ward smiled and said, “It’s getting late, young madam and Daisy have already made dinner. Everyone is waiting for young master. Just now they all know that young master is busy, so none of them have dared to disturb young master. Only I have dared to disturb young master just now.”

“Having dinner is also important.”

Jack cocked the corner of his mouth and narrowed his eyes as he smiled, gesturing for Mr Ward to push him outside while asking, “By the way, I asked you to speak to my father and ask him if he could overpower this bloody trap. How did he respond?”
