Female Novel
Chapter 529 Just Don’t Know When To Give Up
The next day afternoon.
Jack stayed in the hospital the whole day to look after Amber.
Director Lansing had made it clear, that Amber’s physical condition was at its worst because of the
events in the past month. They needed to be extra cautious or the situation might turn hazardous.
Jack couldn’t bear to be careless anymore and decided to spend some time taking care of Amber.
He made up his mind after the incident yesterday.
He knew which one he wanted to prioritize between his career and his family.
However prosperous a man’s career was, he could never be a true man without taking good care of his
family.
Jack spent a day in the hospital taking care of the company’s affairs and the arrangement for the
company’s future events. He then left the exact details for Corbin to handle.
However, Mr. Ward brought in an invitation card at four o’clock in the afternoon.
“Young master, an invitation card from HT real estate agency.”
Mr. Ward’s face seemed solemn.
Jack smirked, “That guy wants to hold a banquet to thank me for stabbing him?”
Mr. Ward didn’t reply. He couldn’t act as casual as Jack.
Because they knew this invitation wasn’t sent with a good intention.
Jack opened the card and read the simple message written on it.
“Dear Mr. Hughes, we kindly visit you to our banquet in Plum Bar at 8PM tonight. From Charlie Gill.”
“Plum Bar?”
Jack was a little taken aback at the venue.
Retrospectively, it was a pub by the river, which was not far away from the house he stayed when he
was married to Katherine.
“Young master, I had looked into it, that place is not a usual pub.” Mr. Ward said in a deep tone.
Jack pouted and closed the card nonchalantly, “No usual pub can survive more than twenty years just
by selling alcohol.”
He used to stay near Plum Bar, which was the reason he knew a little background about the
establishment.
It looked like a pub on the facade, but there were dark businesses going on underneath.
The usual guests there were mostly gangsters, and one could always see some violent scene in action
there after midnight.
Mr. Ward smiled, “I forgot you used to stay in that area.”
“I’m not going.”
Taking a glimpse at Amber, who was lying on bed, Jack casually threw the invitation card into the
dustbin.
Charlie was just one of George’s puppets. He didn’t even bother to know his name.
He did what he did yesterday simply to send George a message. He showed George his stance and
showed Charlie he couldn’t do whatever he wanted.
The rest was simply competition in the business, which he couldn’t care less.
The reason he didn’t kill Charlie last night was because he knew Charlie was just George’s puppet.
Even if he did killCharlie, George would only delegate more of his puppets to pester him.
“Okay.” Mr. Ward nodded and left.
After Mr. Ward left.
Amber, who had been silent the whole while, said softly, “Will those people do things like what
happened yesterday?”
Her eyes were filled with complications as she asked that.
It was filled with horror, worry and pain.
As a pregnant woman who ran into that kind of event just after returning from the brink of death, it was
only natural that she needed time to calm herself.
Jack got up and sat by the bedside. He gave Amber a cuddle and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“I promise you that’ll never happened again. I’ll protect you and our child.”
His tone was so firm as if making a vow.
The tension in Amber subsided and she nestled in Jack’s arms. She was much less fidgety now that
she had someone to reply on.
But the heart-warming act only lasted for three seconds.
Amber struggled out of Jack’s arms and gave him a stare.
“Sit back on the wheelchair now. You’re playing a handicapped, don’t let people see you like this.”
Even though Amber was a pure woman, she was sophisticated when it came to certain matters.
Born in a powerful family, she had much more exposure than most people by following her parents
around since knee-high.
So she understood just how important the trump card of Jack playing as a handicapped was!
“I suddenly forgot.”
Jack smirked and went back to the wheelchair.
He sensed Amber was worried and wanted to comfort her, so he forgot about his own “handicap”.
However.
Even though Jack decided not to entertain Charlie, Charlie didn’t plan to let this off at all.
Six o’clock in the evening.
Mr. Ward came to the ward again.
Entering the room, Mr. Ward took a glimpse at Amber and signal Jack to talk outside the ward.
At the corridor.
Jack looked at Mr. Ward with confusion while sitting in the wheelchair.
With a grave face, Mr. Ward passed him a white invitation card.
With a hint of frustration, Jack frowned.
Red color implied good news while white color implied bad news.
The invitation card made in white color implied it was a funeral.
“Charlie sent this to DT Agency.”
With a mad look, Mr. Ward passed Jack the cell phone.
A picture was shown in the phone screen. A series of products that were used in a funeral event were
placed at the doorway of DT Agency!
Jack narrowed his eyes and opened the invitation card.
It was the same message as before, but now it was in white color.
The only difference here was that this was a bold threatening!
“Huh!”
With a cold gaze, Jack chuckled, “This puppet just doesn’t know when to give up!”
Bam!
Jack slammed the card shut, “We’ll be there at eight o’clock tonight!”
“About Amber…” Mr. Ward hesitated.
“Ask Daisy to look over her for a couple hours will do.”
Jack said coldly, “This puppet still thinks he can do whatever he wants to threaten me. Apparently he
didn’t learn from the pain yesterday. If I don’t end this soon, he’ll come up with some other bullshit.”
“I think so too. But you should talk about this with Amber and make sure she’s okay with it. We can’t
afford to stir up her emotion anymore.”novelbin
Worried, Mr. Ward said in a low voice.
He was Patrick’s trusted servant and the person who was always by Jack’s side as he grew up.
He might not have much sentiment towards the Hughes family, but Jack, Patrick and those around
them were like family to him.
As a loyal servant, he didn’t want any accident to happen to his young master’s child!
Going back into the ward, Jack didn’t hide the truth and told Amber everything.
He knew Amber’s character. It would only make things worse if he hide the truth from her, since she
would then spend a lot of time worrying about him.
After listening to Jack, Amber put on a long face. Her brows furrowed deeply.
She didn’t approve?
Feeling helpless, Jack hesitated.
But he had already decided to put Amber’s well being as his first priority.
He pursed his lips and was about to reject Charlie’s “threat” again.
“All right. Take care of yourself. We’ll be waiting for your return.”
Jack was astonished, “You, you approve it?”
Amber released the tension on her face and smiled, “Only a mediocre man will not have any nemesis.
My husband is an extraordinary man, it’s only natural for him to have to deal with these stuff from time
to time. Since we’ve decided to go down this journey, of course I’ll support you. It’ll only do you a
disservice if I keep holding you back.”
