Winner Takes All novel Chapter 866

Did it matter?

The Mysterious Man had asked a question that was directed straight to the depths of her soul.

Amber fell into a deep despair when she heard the question.

She felt as if the sky had turned upside down and the ground was collapsing. All of a sudden, her body was falling straight into a dark and bottomless abyss.

It did not matter!

If it was like what he said, nothing else mattered anymore!

She was the eldest daughter from a wealthy family, so she knew how things were done.

Honor, dignity… The wealthy families valued these stuff far more than money.

At their level, nothing else mattered more than their reputation. They would do absolutely anything in order to maintain their reputation.

At Patrick’s birthday banquet, if Jack could be positively acknowledged as the next successor for The Hughes Family, the imposter would be officially known as the Jack’s wife as well!

Amber had faith in Jack. She also knew that if Jack had found out about the imposter, he would leave everything behind, and without any hesitation, he would rob the glory and fame off the imposter and expose everything. He could risk everything for her.

But she wouldn’t bet on The Hughes Family!

The Hughes Family belonged to the Hughes, and not solely to Jack alone.

And by that time, what had done could not be undone. Jack could selfishly and shamelessly leave everything behind for her.

But what about everyone else in the Hughes Family?

In front of all the wealthy families, this would be an established fact.

If the person who exposed the scandal was Jack, The Hughes Family would be dishonored in front of all these wealthy families.

The Hughes Family would never allow such a thing to happen.

Even if they knew about it later.

The Hughes Family would force Jack to accept it and live with it!

“Whether you stay alive or not is none of my concern, as long as my plan is going into the direction as how I expected.”

The Mysterious Man lost his patience He looked at the food on Mengpo’s hand, raised his hands and knocked them all over to the ground, “If you don’t want to eat the food, then you don’t have to eat it. Why should I stop you if you want to die?”

Clank Clang…

The sound of the plates falling to the ground echoed through the empty room.

With teary eyes, Amber looked at the fallen dishes on the floor. The food was all scattered around, and some of the plates were broken.

Following The Mysterious Man departure.

Mengpo also followed behind.

It seemed as though they were going to leave her behind.

But before Mengpo left the room, she turned around and spoke to Amber with a complicated expression.

“You still have three months’ time if you keep yourself alive. If you die right now, it will be the end.”

She spoke in a deep, serious tone.

Bang!

The door was closed.

“Why did you tell her all this?”

The Mysterious Man frowned and looked at Mengpo.

The two of them walked forwards, however Mengpo always remained half step behind The Mysterious Man.

She forced a smile and said, “I couldn’t bear to see her like this.”

“You are an assassin.” The Mysterious Man said, “Moreover, you are one of the best.”

“Assassins are human beings too. And as a human being, one is bound to have some sympathy.”

The Mysterious Man rubbed his chin and said, “This is why even though you are already in your fifties, you are only ranked 15th on the Assassin Squad’s Azrael List. Benevolent and kindness is not required in our line of work.”

Mengpo chuckled and said, “Let me send you out.”

Inside the room.

Amber felt as if her heart was ripped out and her body was boiled in hot oil.

Even the lights seemed to have become dimmer as tears blurred her vision.
