Chapter 533 Minor Episode!

After raining for a night, the air was refreshing and crisp with a hint of earthy fragrance. The entire city

was calm and tranquil. But the tranquility of the city would soon be broken by earth-shattering news.

[HT real estate agency would exit from the city today!]

This headline was like a firestorm that swept through the city. News spread like wildfire and soon

everyone knew about this event. The originally calm city became riled by this news. Some were

shocked, some were in disbelief while others could not understand…

Everyone from all walks of life started talking about this. All the news channels were covering this topic.

What happened to HT real estate agency?

Within a short period of a few months, it was able to rise to compete with the leading real estate

companies of the city. It was not a stretch to say that it was a rising star but now in just over a month, it

fell like a meteorite, crashing spectacularly onto the earth.

What was the story behind all these?

The entire city was curious and wanted to find out the reasons. But when some people went to the HT

real estate agency building, they found out that the main entrances had been locked and confirmed that

they were exiting the city.

During the storm, it was a different scene at the LJ Hospital. After leaving Plum Bar last night, Jack did

not return to the TM villa but he went directly to LJ Hospital.

Daisy had prepared some porridge and delivered it early in the morning. Jack made sure each spoonful

of porridge was cool enough before feeding it to Amber. He cared for Amber tenderly and lovingly.

“I’m full and can’t eat anymore.” Amber wiped some porridge from the corner of her mouth and said

coyly, “I’ve enough, I can’t eat another bite!”

“Have some more, you’ve lost so much weight. You must eat some more.” Jack continued to spoon-

feed Amber and said lovingly, “Come honey, be a good girl and be my chubby girl.”

Daisy, Mr. Ward, and Brent exchanged looks awkwardly. Who could imagine the son of the head of the

Hughes family and a potential heir could speak so childishly? They were sure that if any outsiders were

to see this, their jaws would drop wide open in disbelief and break out in goosebumps!

“No, I don’t want to be chubby, I won’t look good.” Amber pouted. Although she was unwilling to, she

still obediently opened her mouth to eat the porridge served by Jack.

Jack smiled tenderly, “I love you regardless of whether you are skinny or chubby.”

Brent couldn’t bear with this public display of affection and said sheepishly, “Young Master, what you’re

saying is really childish and not befitting of a man of your stature. Everyone will be shocked if this

leaked out.”

Then, smack!

Daisy slapped firmly onto Brent’s shoulders and reproached, “What do you know? No matter how cold

a person is, he will meet a person who could warm him up. What’s wrong with what Youg Master said?

He loves Amber and is willing to lower his dignity for her. This is love! A brute like you would not

understand!”

“What’s wrong with me?” Brent was puzzled.

Daisy rolled her eyes and became upset as she stormed out of the patient’s room.

Brent was stunned and puzzled as he remarked, “Why did she suddenly get upset?”

Jack and Amber looked at each other awkwardly. It was Mr. Ward who walked in front of Brent, smiled

awkwardly, and tapped on his shoulders, “Brent, do you know why you’ve been single for decades and

are still single?”

“Because I had been in battles and dedicated my life to the honor of a mercenary. I missed out on my

golden age of being in a relationship and that’s why I’m single now.” Brent said as a matter of fact.

But as he said, he noticed Jack and Amber’s strange expressions and grins. Brent then became

agitated and asked, “Did I say something wrong?”

“Bullshit!” Mr. Ward didn’t mince his words, “Even when you were a mercenary, didn’t you meet a

woman who was willing to fight with you and even spend her days with you? Weren’t there women who

were willing to cook for you and warm you up at night?”

Brent’s jaw dropped and nodded, “Yes there were but so what? When I was carrying out my missions, I

didn’t sleep for 3 days and nights. What haven’t I seen?”

“Ha!” Jack and Amber couldn’t control themselves and laughed.

Smack! Mr. Ward slapped his forehead, “There is truly a reason that you’re single, you brute!” Then Mr.

Ward kicked Brent and pestered, “Hurry up, go and apologize to Daisy.”

“Why should I apologize when I didn’t do anything wrong?” Brent was puzzled and glared at Mr. Ward

with his wide-open eyes.

Mr. Ward then said sternly, “You spent so much time with Yael and me and didn’t even learn a single

thing from us. Why are you so stubborn? Go as I say, even if it’s just to keep Daisy company.”

Brent remained puzzled as he looked at the stern Mr. Ward and then at the giggling Jack and Amber.

He scratched his head and then turned to leave.

Inside the room, Jack and Amber began to laugh loudly. Mr. Ward also sighed in resignation. But this

small episode between Brent and Daisy improved Amber’s appetite and she began to eat heartily.

After finishing, Jack washed up the utensils. He noticed that Brent and Daisy weren’t back yet but

wasn’t in a hurry to look for them. Brent needed some training in attending to women.

As soon as Mr. Ward saw that Jack was done, he signaled Jack to go outside the room.

After exiting the room, Mr. Ward said, “Young Master, HT real estate agency had already exited the city.

This had caused a huge commotion in the city.”

“So be it.” Jack shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, “The wages of sin is death. Had this

mongrel ZF conducted his business properly, with the backing of George, he would have become anovelbin

huge obstacle to DT. But he chose to do things unscrupulously and sealed his own fate.”

Mr. Ward nodded and continued, “Just now Lyndall sent Willy over and said that Lyndall wishes to meet

you and personally explain about last night’s events.”

“How did you reply?” Jack asked.

“I know about your issues with Lyndall and rejected him.” Mr. Ward said.

Jack rubbed his nose and laughed, “That was the past. Lyndall had clearly expressed his attitude

towards me when he handled the situation with Katherine. I don’t hate Lyndall.”

“Then you’ll be willing to meet him?” Mr. Ward asked.

Jack shook his head decisively, “No, I want to spend some time with Amber. If they were to come

again, then tell him that I do not bear a grudge on what happened last night. He is intelligent and I

understand the meaning of what he did last night and his attitude towards the entire situation. I can see

that he had been set up.”

“Okay.” Mr. Ward nodded and was about to leave.

Jack suddenly called out to Mr. Ward. Jack scratched his head and then said helplessly, “With regards

to Brent and Daisy, should you and Yael take some time to teach Brent a thing or two?”

“Pfft!” Mr. Ward chuckled and grinned, “Young Master, I don’t think that’s necessary, it’s embarrassing.”

Jack rolled his eyes, “Don’t give me that! You and Yael can teach Brent some techniques. If not, then

Brent will remain single for life!”
