Female Novel
Chapter 372 Aiden’s Request
The Capital city was sleepless that night.
The wealthy and powerful families were churning. Some were surprised, some were ecstatic while
others were enjoying the Burtons’ downfall. There were already some who were ready to capitalize on
the decline of the Burton family. Although they were on the downfall, they were still sizeable and it
would take some time.
Now, even the new head of the family, Dyson had fallen. This was a god-sent opportunity to deal a fatal
blow to the Burton family. The entire Capital city was like the raging thunderstorm over the city now. All
these were immaterial to Jack.
After leaving the hotel, they returned to their hotel where they stayed. He hated the Burton family but it
was simply hatred. Initially, he could still endure his anger towards them.
But after the death of Old Master Burton, Dyson took over the family and placed a hit order on Jack
through the Dark Net Assassin Squad. After this, there was no way he could be gracious towards them.
The Burton family had to face the consequences of their foolishness.
Even if Dyson didn’t look for him, he would find an opportunity to deal with the Burton family. It was
Dyson’s insanity that brought forward everything.
In the hotel room.
Brent was still stunned and have not recovered from Jack dodging the bullet. Mr. Ward also was
helpless and sighed as he shook his head.
In the other room.
Jack sat quietly at the panel window looking at the thunderstorm raging over the Capital city. He softly
murmured, “After this thunderstorm, I wonder if the skies over the Capital be clearer?”
“I’ll get another room.” Yael suddenly stood up and was filled with joy.
Jack was stunned and looked at Yael, “Can you still perform after being beaten just now?”
“I’m young and strong. What’s an iron pipe?” Yael said nonchalantly.
Jack rubbed his nose, “You’re not that young anymore. If you think that she’s suitable, then consider it.”
Yael stopped smiling. He lit a cigarette and started smoking.
“Do you think that I’m worthy?” He softly muttered and looked at Jack, “I killed my father. With such a
dark reputation, how would others see her if I marry her?”
“Then why do you keep getting involved with her?” Jack asked.
Yael shrugged and ruffled his hair in frustration, “That’s why I said that I’ve overdone it this time!” As he
said, he exhaled the smoke and looked outside at the thunderstorm as he sighed, “Enough, she should
have arrived.”
Jack smiled bitterly as he looked at Yael turn to leave. But this was Yael’s private matters and he
couldn’t interfere. He could only stand by his friend and advise him.
The night was uneventful.
The next morning.
Ciara rushed to the hotel early in the morning to explain and apologize for what had happened last
night.
Jack didn’t blame it on her. Even he did not anticipate it and he could understand that Ciara wouldn’t as
well. Who could have thought that Dyson would be so brazen? That the new head of the once mighty
Burton family would resort to such a desperate move. A more level-headed person would not use such
an insane method.
Jack didn’t wish to stay at the Capital a moment longer and left with Mr. Ward and Brent. Jack didn’t
consider getting Yael to go back with them. It was inconsiderate to interrupt Yael at this moment.
On the airplane.
Mr. Ward teased, “Master Hughes must be missing missus to be so anxious to go back.”
“Yes, Amber is pregnant now and I want to spend more time with her. I heard that it’s tough being
pregnant and it’s very easy to go into depression. I can’t shoulder those pain for her so I should be with
her whenever I can.” Jack smiled as he said.
Mr. Ward replied, “Actually you need not be too worried, it’s not a big deal.”
“It’s always right to pamper the wife.” Jack rubbed his nose.
Mr. Ward and Brent laughed.
Brent hesitated and then asked, “Master Hughes, what were you thinking when you dodged the bullet?”
“I didn’t want to wait for death. I will have no regrets if I fight to the last breath.” Jack replied.
Really… that was fighting for his life? Brent was shocked. It was true that a person could realize his
potential when being forced. But a person’s potential still depended on the individual. How terrifying
was Master Hughes’ potential to be able to dodge a bullet like that?
The airplane landed at the airport in the suburbs.
Jack went to the DT company first to settle some matters.
At the moment, DT had already completed the modernization of the West Shantytown project. The
company also rose to the same level as Aiden and Drago’s real estate companies. In fact, DT even
exceeded them slightly now. But Jack wasn’t satisfied with these. He had some plans for the
subsequent development of the company.
Now he controlled half of the X city Quinn family’s assets, he also had the entertainment company with
Ciara. The scale and value of these greatly overshadowed DT. However, Jack had never thought of
giving up DT. This was his platform that launched his successes. His roots were here.
When he submits the achievements to the Hughes family a year later, everything would be taken into
consideration. Every company would add to his chances of winning.
Jack instructed Corbin and Lone Wolf on the subsequent matters before returning to the Four
Impressions Club with Brent and Mr. Ward.
As soon as they reached the club, Jack met Minister Mable and Aiden.
“Mr. Hughes!” Aiden was overjoyed when he saw Jack. He hurried over and bowed slightly as he
smiled radiantly.
“You came back so soon?” Minister Mable smiled and nodded at Jack. He then glanced at Aiden and
said to Jack, “I’ll take my leave since Mr. Lott has something to discuss with you.”
“Goodbye, Minister Mable.” Jack nodded.
Jack turned his attention onto Aiden after Minister Mable left. Jack was momentarily in a daze when he
looked at Aiden bowing respectfully to him. It felt not too long ago that he was only a deputy general
manager of Aiden’s company which he let his brother-in-law manage.
At that time, Jack felt that Aiden was mighty and untouchable. Even though Jack already had an annual
salary of a million yuan, he was clear that whether it was capabilities or family, he would never be able
to reach Aiden’s level.
But how long ago was that? The person who he once revered was now bowing to him. Jack would
never have expected something like this to happen.
He seemed to feel apologetic and was not arrogant about it. Jack gently smiled, “Mr. Lott, there is no
need for this. You can say freely what you need.”novelbin
Aiden rubbed his hands and said, “I actually brought some gifts but I knew that missus was home alone
and I didn’t stay for long. I left the gifts with her and left. Then unexpectedly …”
“Mr. Lott, we’ve known each other for many years, there is no need to beat around the bush.” Jack
rubbed his nose and smiled, “Although there was some unhappiness in the past, now we stand on the
same side. Go ahead and state what you need. I will help if I’m able to.”
“Okay, Mr. Hughes, thanks for your frankness.”
Aiden nodded and said solemnly, “I actually would like Mr. Hughes to help me obtain a parcel of land.”
Obtain a parcel of land?! Jack was stunned. Mr. Ward and Brent were similarly surprised.
