The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 194 Went Back Home

Patrick Hughes had left.

He came in a sudden, and left in a sudden too.

This had made Jack Hughes who just calmed down and came back to his senses feel disappointment.

Sophie Burton saw through Jack’s mind and she smiled softly, “Your Dad is waiting for us to go back

home.”

Those simple words had another meaning.

There was light glowing in Jack’s eyes.

He held his fists secretly.

He and his mother had stayed and lived together for more than twenty years.

He must walk through the door of the Hughes family fair and square to let his Mom enjoy the honor that

should have belonged to her.

No one talked that night.

In the morning, the rain had stopped.

Jack and the others hurriedly left the capital city.

The Burton family would definitely cause tides in the capital city for everything that had happened last

night.

In Jack’s eyes, the capital city had become a huge vortex after last night.

They would be dragged into the vortex if they were to stay any longer.

He didn’t feel good about the Burton family at all.

He only had disgust, anger, and hatred towards them.

Even if the Burton family was willing to let him be the head of their family, he would rather fight hard for

the small chance to head the Hughes family.

He had no intention to be dragged into the vortex caused by the Burton family.

In fact, everything happened according to what Jack had thought of.

After last night, all the big forces had clearly investigated the reason behind what happened in the

Burton family last night.

Even though Patrick’s appearance was not earth-shattering, it was enough to shock the whole city.

All forces were also shocked by Patrick’s appearance.

This was because the Hughes family had higher status compared to the Burton family even though the

latter was the richest in the capital city.

Some talented people from the forces had reacted rapidly in the shock.

When the stock market opened, the stock price of the companies under the Burton family had dropped

dramatically together.

Furthermore, some hidden forces had prepared to make moves at the capital city.

In the Ancient Castle Villa of the Burton family.

After the bomb attack last night, Ancient Castle Villa was in a state of devastation.

The wall of the yard collapsed. The large garden was destroyed too.

The ancient castle was the only thing remaining.

If Old Master Burton hadn’t made the final resolution quick, the ancient castle would have been

bombed too.

The Burton family, who was mysterious and splendid, seemed to have met its death as the setting sun.

Everyone from the Burton family was terrified and upset.

Everything that happened last night had completely destroyed the pride of the members of the Burton

family.

In a luxurious room in the ancient castle.

Old Master Burton sat silently by the window with a burning cigar in his hand.

From this angle, he could clearly see the devastation of the garden.

Old Master Burton’s eyes looked red and tiredness could be seen on his face.

He did not sleep for the whole night. He only sat there.

Even after the night, he still had a lot of grudges.

“Father.”

Dyson Burton’s voice came behind him, “Doctor said you cannot smoke anymore.”

Old Master Burton laughed and said, “I can barely keep up with this old body. Could it be that I could

live for another thousand years if I did not smoke?”

Dyson was stunned.

After hesitating for a while, he said, “Father, actually we brothers could be in charge of the Burton

family. However, you refused to let go of it.”

He kept looking at Old Master Burton when he said that.

He was frightened.

As he knew that he was asking his father to elect a new head for the family.

It was like forcing the king to abdicate in ancient times!

“Haha, you brothers, who are capable of doing this?”

Old Master Burton laughed lonely, “I also want to let go of my power and step down from being the

head of the family. However, who is capable of being the head of the family? All of you are more brave

than wise and are only capable of fighting each other.”

Old Master Burton knew the behavior of his sons since they were young.

If he wasn’t well aware, why would he take this much effort to plan and let Jack who had a surname of

‘Hughes’ to be the head of the family?

Even though he had planned how to let his son replace Jack as the head of the family again after the

family was well-built by Jack.

However, during the time with Jack as the head of the family, it would be the shame and joke of the

Burton family in others’ eyes.

Dyson’s face turned red.

However, he still clenched his teeth and said stubbornly, “Father, I think I am capable to take charge of

the Burton family. You may not know that after your moves, the stock prices of the listed companies

under our Burton family have dropped dramatically today. Some of them couldn’t survive after the

drop.”

“I don’t have to know, but I have expected that. For a while, the Burton family is going to have more

trouble.”

Old Master Burton’s face looked dark and gloomy and he sighed helplessly, “The appearance of Patrick

last night means he has used his power to interfere with the situation of the capital city and make the

hidden forces stir towards the clear trend. I think those people had prepared themselves to deal with

our Burton family since yesterday.”

The Burton family had been the richest for years.

This position had attracted a lot of attention and made a lot of enemies.

A lot of people had wished to remove the splendid Burton family from the capital city.

However, they feared the power of the richest Burton’s family so much that they didn’t dare to make a

move.

This had made the capital city remain peaceful.

Yet, Patrick appeared last night, and more than ten bombs were dropped.

They had completely destroyed the Burton family. Old Master Burton clearly knew that people would

expect the exposed meat after the skin was ripped off.

“Then what should we do?” Dyson’s expression changed.

Old Master Burton smiled bitterly, “If Jack was here, he wouldn’t ask me this kind of question. That is

why he could be the head of the family but not you.”

…

When the plane landed at the airport, it was already 11 am.

Mr. Ward had prepared a car earlier. After they came out of the airport, they rode the car and went back

to their home at TM Villa District.

When they reached home, Daisy Hill had fully filled the table with dishes.

After seeing Sophie, Daisy was stunned. Then, she cried with joy, rushed towards Sophie, and hugged

her.

“Mrs. Hughes, you really scared me to death. You really scared me to death.”

Sophie felt the pain of her wound after Daisy hugged her and she made a grunt.

This had scared Daisy and she immediately apologized.

However, Sophie smiled and said, “It is fine. It is only a small injury, not a big deal.”

“Mom, let’s eat first.”

Jack let Daisy support his mother and he helped Yael Quinn and Mr. Ward take a seat.

There was still noise in the kitchen.

Jack looked at Daisy, “Is there someone else?”

Daisy smiled and said, “It’s Amber. After Mrs. Hughes went missing, I was frightened. After informing

young master and the others, I also informed Amber. She was scared and so she came here hurriedly.”

Upon saying this, the kitchen of the door was opened.

Amber Knight who was in an apron, had a red face because of the smoke from cooking, brought out a

bowl of soup.

After putting down the soup, she rubbed her hands, sat beside Sophie, and apologized, “Mrs. Hughes, I

am sorry. I didn’t take good care of you when Jack was not around.”

A sudden apology.

It didn’t only daze Sophie, even Jack didn’t expect it.

However, Jack had a warm feeling in his heart.

For this matter, did Amber do anything wrong?

She lived alone and his mother was kidnapped at home. How would Amber know about this? Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Silly girl, it was my own fault. Why would you blame yourself?” Sophie said softly.

“But I am Jack’s fiancée and you are my future mother-in-law. After Jack left, I should have taken care

of you but I did not, and then you were kidnapped. So, this was my fault,” Amber said seriously.

Jack and the others couldn’t help laughing.

Jack touched Amber’s high nose angrily, “You little fool, your logic is quite smooth.”

Amber wrinkled up her nose and glared at Jack.

At this very moment, Yael suddenly stood up.

He reached out his right hand towards Jack, “Jack, I would definitely make friends with you for the sake

of sister-in-law.”

Jack glared at him, “Brent, beat him up!”
