The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 177 Oppress By Force?

Once he said, Minister Mable, Aiden, and the rest started to look unsettled.

No one was accepting Jack’s apology. Furthermore, what did Jack do wrong? He had arrived on the

appointed time and was clearly not in the wrong. But it was Old Master Burton who was being

oppressive.

Old Master Burton sat in place and his expression turned blue with anger. He wanted to use this

occasion to impress Jack with the prowess of the Burton family. Even if in this city, he could summon all

the local big wigs with a wave of his hand. In his view, Jack was unable to get these people to respond

to him.

Although DT Agency had been on the rise, it was insignificant in Old Master Burton’s eyes. Wealth and

connections are two different issues and connections are far more important than money! What made

things worse was Jack gave him the impression of being an inexperienced young man.

This wrecked his plans.

Wham! In his anger, Old Master Burton jabbed his walking stick onto the ground.

“Aiden…” He said with his teeth clenched. Aiden’s heart skipped a beat. His odd expression turned

even worse. Previously, he pledged his loyalty to Old Master Burton in order to get closer to him. But

never had he expected that the key person on this occasion was Jack!

This… placed him in a very difficult spot. How was he going to navigate this?! Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

When Jack heard this, he scoffed and looked towards the unsettled Aiden. The last time when Aiden

visited him to present his apologies, Jack had already broken his will. Now how will he still have the

courage to offend Jack?

When he saw Jack’s stare, Aiden became very restless. He got up in a hurry and turned to Old Master

Burton, “Old Master, Jack had arrived on time and wasn’t considered impolite. I think we can just let

this issue pass.”

“You…” Old Master Burton’s face turned red and glared at Aiden in anger. Aiden’s compromise at the

expense of principles and angered him even more. What did he say earlier and now what was he

saying? He wanted to oppress Jack to show him that even if he was wealthy, to the Burton family, he

was as insignificant as an ant.

But now Aiden started to compromise and what he intended to do could not continue.

Old Master Burton took a deep breath and suppressed his fury. He narrowed his eyes to look at those

present and demanded, “What do you all think?”

“Mr. Lott is right!” Minister Mable was first to speak.

Old Master Burton’s pupil constricted.

“Jack came on time and doesn’t count as being rude.” Director Lansing added.

Old Master Burton started to frown deeply.

Since Minister Mable and Director Lansing had already spoken, the rest of those present also quickly

nodded in support.

Old Master Burton ground his teeth in anger. Since everyone had forgiven Jack, he couldn’t continue to

stubbornly persist.

Old Master Burton looked at Jack coldly and said, “You disrespectful and unfilial young man, it’s your

mother’s fault for not teaching you manners. Since everyone is so magnanimous, this issue is

considered settled!”

However.

“Pfft!” Jack was scoffed. Although he was laughing, he became increasingly cold. His dashing and

handsome face became frosty.

Smack! A hand slapped onto the table.

Jack stood up and pointed to Old Master Burton and said, “What right do you have to rebuke me for

being unfilial? My mother brought me up very well. I don’t need you an outsider to find fault with me!”

The atmosphere in the room immediately tensed up.

Minister Mable and the rest frowned and looked extremely uncomfortable. It was not so much about

Jack’s sudden reprimand of Old Master Burton. They were not fools. All of them could tell that Jack and

Old Master Burton had an ongoing grudge.

How could they enjoy this meal? They would be lucky if the table wasn’t flipped out of anger.

“How dare you! I’m your grandfather!” Old Master Burton yelled as he panted.

“Scumbag grandfather!” Jack was full of contempt.

If it wasn’t for Old Master Burton’s threat, he would not even come for this dinner. Even if he came, he

wasn’t here to be made a fool of! The Old Master Burton kept berating him and insulting his mother as

if he was so virtuous and morally superior.

Fuck you! You shameless fool!

“You… have you no respect for your elders?” Old Master Burton was so angry that his entire body

trembled. What Jack said was like a tight slap across his face.

He was the host of this dinner and he wanted to impress Jack with the prowess of the Burton family

and not for Jack to humiliate him in front of others.

Old Master Burton was flushed with anger and breathed quickly. His right hand shook as he pointed to

Minister Mable, “You, do you know who these people are?”

“He, he has the most authority in your city!”

“He, is the most influential person in your city!”

“He, is the champion of the medical field!”

…

As Old Master Burton slowly pointed, each of them had a status that would shock an ordinary person.

But as he couldn’t control his rage, Old Master Burton didn’t notice that during his introduction, Minister

Mable and the rest of their expression slowly changed.

When the last person was introduced, Old Master Burton firmly struck the ground with his walking stick

and said with vigor, “How dare you yell at me on such an occasion?”

“The Burton family is the richest in the capital and I’m the head of the family and your grandfather. How

dare you be so rude?”

“You are very talented and had managed the DT Agency very well. But in the eyes of the Burton family,

you are just an ant!” His tone was full of fire and rage. He was overbearing and oppressive towards

Jack.

“Ha!” Jack scoffed, “If the Burton family is so great, then why did you old damn fool still ask me to go

back to become the head of the family?”

Kaboom! What he said shocked everyone present.

It was like Minister Mable and the rest were struck by lightning and all looked shocked. The Burton

family was the richest in the capital. The head of the family was highly important. How could they

simply let Jack take over the family?

At that moment, everyone looked shocked at Jack. On one side he was the heir of the Hughes family,

on the other hand, he could become the head of the Burton family.

How could this city be hiding a golden dragon like Jack?

Old Master Burton’s face was extremely red and he was fuming angrily. His eyes became bloodshot

and stared at Jack as if he wanted to devour Jack.

What Jack said practically trashed his confidence and pride!

Just at that moment, Minister Mable stood up and said to Old Master Burton, “My apologies, I’ll take my

leave.” He totally didn’t bother with Old Master Burton’s response and quickly walked to Jack. He

nodded slightly and smiled, “Jack, I’m sorry, today was my mistake. If I had known that this dinner was

to set you up, then I would never have let it taken place.”

After saying this, he quickly walked out of the restaurant.

Following that, Director Lansing also stood up and didn’t even excuse himself from Old Master Burton

but he went to Jack and said respectfully, “Jack, I’m sorry, just as Minister Mable said. Otherwise, with

his temper, he would have torn down my hospital.”

After saying, Director Lansing also left.

One was the highest authority in the city while the other was the champion of the medical field.

With their status, they really didn’t need to show Old Master Burton any courtesy. It was true that the

Burton family was the richest in the capital but they were not at the capital! They had already shown

him enough respect but under the current turn of events, they didn’t need to extend any more courtesy

to him.

After they left, Old Master Burton was stunned and felt like he had the wind knocked out of him.

When he saw Director Lansing walk out, Old Master Burton was bewildered and shouted, “Director

Lansing, this chap is just an outcast of my family. Why did both of you apologize to him?”

Director Lansing stopped and said softly, “Jack is one of the heirs of the Hughes family and the Director

of QY International Group’s son-in-law. Don’t you think we need to apologize?”

Kaboom!

Old Master Burton shivered. His face which was red with anger immediately turned pale.

Jack… was the son-in-law of the Director of QY International Group?
