The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 307 Just Because I Am Your Father!

In the lobby of the airport in the outskirts of the city, Amber was sitting on a chair with a tired look. Her

brows were all knitted up giving an impression that she was deep in thought.

On her side, Daisy was yawning non-stop too. She looked exhausted.

Everything happened so suddenly and it was still so early in the morning. After all, they had been

woken up from their dreams and were told to travel to the other side of the ocean.

Daisy glanced at Amber and asked, “Amber, why do I have a feeling that you’re bothered by something

on your mind?”

Amber came back to reality slightly and replied, “Daisy, did you feel that there is something off about

Jack?”

“Nothing of that sort.”

Daisy shook her head and added, “If there is something wrong with someone, that has to be Brent.

When he woke me up this morning, he had such a terrible look on his face. It’s not like I had offended

him.”

“My intuition tells me that Jack is hiding something from me.”

Amber was still mulling over something but she fully believed Jack’s promise.

In their four years of university days together, she was practically inseparable from Jack. She was able

to return to his side after waiting anxiously for three whole years, and in the end she ended up thinking

for Jack more than thinking for herself.

Due to her focus on him, she knew him very well and due to her understanding of him, her premonition

that something was off was getting stronger by the minute.

“Amber, stop thinking too much. Isn’t Mr. Hughes doing just fine?” Daisy tried to console her, “He loves

you very much, so if there is something really bothering him, why would he hide that from you?”

The wrinkles on Amber’s forehead deepened upon hearing that, “I can’t suggest anything concrete

about my feelings, but since I’m his wife, perhaps this is my sixth sense as a woman.”

Daisy said helplessly, “Are you just feeling upset and shaken after being sent home by Mr. Hughes?

Actually, Mr. Hughes had the right line of thought all along. Think about it, since your marriage, so

much had happened which caused you not to be able to return home even once. Isn’t it tradition to go

back to your home after getting married?”

“Even if that’s true, did you ever see a bride returning home by herself?”

Amber’s sudden questions successfully rendered Daisy speechless.

At the moment, an announcement blared from the speaker in the lobby.

“Let’s go, it’s time to board the plane.”

Daisy picked up her luggage and said with a smile, “You should stop overthinking.”

Amber still had her brows knitted and her sense of uneasiness only grew stronger by the minute.

She turned around and glanced at the scenery outside the airport while the announcement made by

the airport continued to play in the air. In the end, she let out a sigh and followed Daisy to board the

plane.

Outside the airport, Jack was alone in his Porsche 911 and something seemed to be weighing heavily

in his heart.

With a loud clanking sound, the car door was swung open and in came Brent who was soaked in

sweat.

“Are they gone?” Jack asked.

“I saw with my own eyes the young lady and Daisy entering the corridor to the departure point.” Brent

replied.

Jack revealed a relieved smile on his face as he started the engine.

Amber was finally gone, and the heavy feeling he had been carrying with him could finally be released.

The assassination order given out by the Dark Net had exposed him in an all-encompassing fatality.

There was no way he would allow Amber to experience that kind of danger by being with him.

He would love his woman and never exposed her to dangerous situations.

As her husband, Jack felt that he had to uphold a husband’s responsibility.

At that moment, using lies to steer Amber away was his one and only way to protect her.

As his Porsche sped on the road, Jack had a grim expression on his face.

The Dark Net and his imminent assassination were like a storm brewing in the distance, threatening to

overwhelm him in one fell swoop.

While he was on guard all the time, there was nothing he could do to improve his chances.

What was coming next for him was perhaps even more cruel and heart-wrenching than his days in the

Black hell.

“Young master, Mr. Ward called just now to inform that he has summoned all his security personnel to

his side. There is a total of a hundred men gathered.”

Brent continued with agitation, “This troop has been managing the Old Master’s safety ever since he

was made the head of the family. I was their leader previously and now that Mr. Ward has gathered

them, I have more men at my discretion. I believe that there won’t be any unnecessary complications.”

All of them had been summoned?

All of a sudden, the corner of Jack’s eyes suddenly jerked up. An ominous and complicated feeling had

gripped his heart.

He could remember perfectly that Brent was his father’s personal bodyguard for a long time. He was

one of those people his father trusted the most.

The reason Brent was sent to his side was also to protect his safety, and this decision alone had

exposed his father in greater danger inadvertently.

Now, the whole troop was sent over for Brent to command, and their goal was to protect his own

safety…

What about his father?

Since this team was able to preserve his father’s safety for more than twenty years, so naturally Jack

had no qualms about their abilities as a top security troop.

However, when Brent and the troop was sent here all just for him, his father would be exposed to

unimaginable danger from now on. How dangerous his father’s situation would be now?

“In order to protect me, he has decided not to care about himself?” Jack muttered while grimacing.

Brent froze slightly before smiling bitterly, “The Old Master has always viewed the importance of his

own life as less important than yours.”

“He is the head of the Hughes family and he is always on the top of the pyramid, which will caused all

kinds of dangers gravitate towards him since he is such an obvious target. Perhaps the dangers he’s

facing would not be inferior to the situation I’m in, no?”

Brent didn’t have any words for that.

As Patrick’s personal bodyguard, he knew perfectly well that Patrick had to face life-and-death situation

almost every minute of his life.

By dispatching him and his troop to Jack’s side, it was as if Patrick was shedding his own godly armor!

At the moment, Jack took out his phone and called Patrick’s number.

When the call connected, Jack began calmly, “Can you transfer another team of professional security

personnel for me?”

“No way!” Patrick’ conviction was apparent, “I know what you are thinking right now, but know that I

have made this decision after much contemplation. The most important thing right now is to safeguard

your life. I will take care of my own safety in the meantime, so you don’t have any say in this!”

“Why did you do that?”

Jack was indignant since his father only thought about his own safety. On the other hand, he was also

very worried about his father’s life.

In the past, he used to harbor extreme hatred towards Patrick.

However, after peeling off the layers covering the truth of the olden days, the fury in his heart slowly

dissipated.

They were father and son.

His father was never in his life when he grew up, but now that he was an adult, he had turned out to be

an extremely decent man.

As a son, if he didn’t prioritize his parent in his life and carry out his filial piety, what kind of man would

he render himself become?

“Just because I am your father! I want to protect you, so as my son you can only follow my

arrangements!”

Patrick suddenly roared with emotion.

His sudden outburst only pushed Jack to an even more difficult spot.

His eyes suddenly turned red as he thanked with a hoarse voice, “Thank you, dad.”

“I am still thinking about how to fight back against the Dark Net. If we don’t pluck off the root of this

assassination problem, we will never see the end of this.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Patrick’s voice suddenly lowered and it was infused with helplessness, “Unfortunately, although the

prestige and power of the Hughes family is able to easily overwhelm the Burton family, it is not enough

to affect the Dark Net’s decision to call off the mission. This thing is really a hard nut to crack. I need

more time.”

“I have sent the whole arsenal for Brent to command because this can buy me more time.”

In the end, Patrick’s voice suddenly turned solemn, “Jack, I know you very well, but about this matter,

you have to listen to me. Remember! If you are in danger, you mustn’t lose your cool. Brent, Mr. Ward,

Yael, and even Lone Wolf can all die in your place, but you must do no matter what it takes to live on!”

Jack’s expression darkened as he was a little unhappy with what his father was implying.

He would never be able to discard his brothers and his elders just like that.

Jack instinctively turned his gaze to Brent, but all he saw was a very calm and serene face.

“Young master, the Old Master is right about that!”

Brent looked at a point in space in front of him and suddenly, his eyes widened rapidly as he called out,

“Young master, look out!”
