Female Novel
Chapter 512 Survive? Rise? Give up?
Silence.
The scene was dead silent.
The cold killing intent swept the scene like a tide.
Everyone was tense, and so terrified, they broke out in a cold sweat.
They swallowed hard, they felt as if they were being choked by an invisible hand, unable to make any
sound.
Even Madam Hughes and Carter Hughes were stunned in terror and remained silent.
The two of them were the closest to Jack Hughes, hence they felt most explicit the killing aura emitted
from Jack.
They were totally terror-stricken straight into the bone marrow!
Without a doubt, they believed that Jack definitely was brave enough to stab them!
In their minds, Jack the bastard was stubborn!
Jack would have stabbed Madam Hughes with a knife at the very first place if it hadn't been blocked by
Felix Hughes and others. That was the time when Jack Hughes first came to the Hughes Family.
"Blood for blood!"
Jack squinted his eyes, staring at Madam Hughes with sinister gaze, and smirked, "Sacrificing myself a
so called bastard for a life of a noble duchess is totally worth it!"
Suddenly.
The dense footstep echoed from outside the hall was getting louder and closer.
The Hughes’ Family security had finally arrived.
Looking at the crowds outside.
Madam Hughes' expression eased a little and said, "If you kill me, you, Mr. Ward, Brent and you all will
die together with me!"
"But you won't let me live another day!"
Jack Hughes smirked.
He knew clearly that if he kept on condone their doings or just blindly obeyed to their orders in tonight’s
dinner. It will only aggravate the family to do something worst.
Jack decided to fight to his death, risking all he had to force Madam Hughes and the others to
postpone the discussion of his status as heir. After all, this was the outcome he wanted most!
As long as Jack’s father returned, there might be a turnaround.
However, while waiting for his father return, he can only count on himself to fight for survival.
"Ha!"
Madam Hughes barely calmed herself, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "Well, I,
Madam Hughes will give you a way to survive yourself!"
Hearing the words.
Everyone in the scene suddenly got excited.
After that.
Madam Hughes raised her aged dry right hand and pointed at Jack Hughes' legs.
"The elimination of your heir status is caused by your crippled leg. This has concerned the prestige of
the Hughes Family. When it comes to the family’s prestige, no one has the final say. If you want to
survive, then I am showing you a way... If you can stand up today, you can inherit your status just like it
was originally yours. However, if you can't stand up, don't blame me and the elders for taking over your
heir status regardless of your father's authority!"
Boom!
The sound was like a thunder.
The look on everyone's face changed. Everyone was looking weirdly at Jack .
At this moment, even George and Archer had suppressed the severe pain and chuckled though they
were injured.
"Stand up? He's already crippled, there’s no way he will be able to do that!"
"Jack...Jack...! Madam Hughes has given you enough chances. This is your way to survive, you better
seize it and work hard for it!"
"Tsk tsk tsk...the opportunity is just before you, Jack, but it is too bad you just can't stand up, there’s no
one to blame."
…
Listening to everyone cynicism.
Jack's pupils contracted to the extreme.
He lowered his head slowly, looking at his legs, he hesitated.
Did he really need to reveal his trump card at this critical moment?
‘I had spent so much effort deliberately to hide this trump card, there was no way I will waste it so
hastily!’
Behind him was Mr. Ward, he also had a gloomy expression, his bloodshot eyes darkened to the
extreme.
And this scene was witnessed by everyone at the scene.
They felt Jack and Mr. Ward were desperate to the extreme.
After all,... how was it possible for a crippled person to stand up even if he wanted to?
"This is too much of bullying!" Brent shouted.
Brent didn't know the truth about Jack Hughes' legs. After hearing everyone’s cynicism, he rebuked,
"Isn’t Madam Hughes’ request too unfair? Knowing that the young master is crippled, she still insists to
let him stand up. Why not Madam Hughes just wait until the old Master returns, and then further
negotiate about this matter?"
The series of questioning, not only were not taken seriously by everyone but caused everyone burst
into laughter.
To them, Brent's questioning was just like the dying struggle of a desperate person!
Even Madam Hughes couldn't help but sneer.
"Brent, it is an urgent matter whether the heir is crippled or not, it is an issue which is related to the
family’s prestige. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, how long do you think the Hughes Family can
hide this crippling matter of Jack's inheritance? What if Patrick does not return, does it mean we do not
have to solve Jack Hughes’ matter? Once it spreads out, the Hughes Family will become the
laughingstock of the world. Tell me, who can bear the consequences?”
After finishing her speech, Madam Hughes was proud and the arrogance was obviously shown on her
face, she then slowly leaned on the seat, and shook her head indifferently, "Anyway, I can't afford it!"
Brent looked serious, his face blushed and he was speechless.
On the other side, Killian adjusted the glasses on his nose and said coldly, "Jack, we have given you
the opportunity. It's up to you whether you cherish it or not. If you don't cherish it, you can't blame us!"
The unabashed mockery, was like a sword piercing his heart.
Jack lowered his head, still hesitating.
Following Killian's words, Jack grabbed the armrests, his hands squeaked hard until his blue veins
were visible on the back of his hands.
His whole body trembled fiercely.
Was it going to be exposed now?
Was there really no way to hide the truth anymore?
While he was hesitating. His ears were still full of their laughter.
Jack's eyes were red, and suddenly, his gaze became firm.
Alright!
If he didn't stand up tonight, there will be nothing left in the future not to mention the heir status.
Yet, it was already impossible to escape the Hughes house along with Mr. Ward and Brent tonight.
Only it was a pity... Jack can't hide this trump card anymore...
Jack sighed in heart, his body stopped trembling then.
The veins on the backs of his hands were shown, he pressed on the armrests, exerting force slowly.
The movements were slow, and in the eyes of everyone, it was extremely difficult.
"Pointless struggling before death, this is wasting time!"
Killian sneered.
"Give up, you handicapped piece of junk, both legs are crippled, don’t tell me you are planning to stand
up on the table with both hands pretending you’ve done it?" Ivy Hughes sneered. Even Madam and
Carter showed a disdainful smile while watching Jack standing up that hard.
Dreaming of standing up again while your legs were crippled?
Foolish dreams!
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud roar like thunder on the outer sky.
Everyone was shocked in the hall.
"What happened? Why are there jets flying over my mansion?"
Madam Hughes looked so furious suddenly.novelbin
No matter who came to the Hughes Family Mansion, they had to take off, land and transfer according
to the family's prescribed route.
The sky above the mansion is a forbidden area where no planes are allowed to fly by and dishonor the
Hughes family.
However, at the very moment surprisingly there was really a jet flying overhead!
Not only Madam Hughes was angry, but all the Hughes family members were also angered.
One by one they looked out of the hall in anger.
Just at this moment, no one noticed that Jack Hughes’ eyes flashed a trace of light.
The partially supported body stopped along with the roar of the jet flying above the sky.
Could it be... the turnaround?
Just about the same time, Mr. Ward ghosted a step forward.
Mr. Ward’s hand landed on Jack's arm lightly, seeming to be supporting, but in fact he pinched Jack
feebly.
Bang!
Jack got weakened and fell heavily on the ground.
The fall was so heavy he totally lost his balance with the wheelchair.
In that instant, Jack fell to the ground heavily together with his wheelchair...
