Female Novel
Chapter 824 Remain Unchanged? Concerned about My Life?
Mr. Ward’s eyes glinted as he walked.
After hesitating, he smiled and said, “Let’s eat first, Young Master.”
“Okay.”
Jack nodded.
When Mr. Ward pushed Jack to the restaurant, the table was already full of all kinds of delicious food.
Amber Knight, the Mysterious Man, Daisy Hill and Brent were all present.
“Hubby, come here!”
Amber waved with a smile.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Jack went to his seat and replaced the chair with a wheelchair.
After Mr. Ward sat down, they started eating, chatting with each other.
Jack suddenly asked again, “Mr. Ward, how does my father see the Bloody Trap?”
Hearing those words, everybody got silent.
They all were looking at Mr. Ward with apprehension.
At that moment, also the Mysterious Man looked differently.
Bloody Trap.
All those powers were on the prowl, lurking everywhere with killing intents.
The people present, including the Mysterious Man, could only defeat hardly with his strength.
As for a definitive solution… it was almost impossible!
That Bloody Trap could not be solved easily just relying on the power of an individual.
When facing a majestic power, only an equivalent or higher power could deal with it and solve definitely
that situation.
And the Hughes Family…was obviously the best hope!
And yet.
Mr. Ward slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and picked up the napkin to wipe the corners of
his mouth.
He moved slowly but as long as he was doing that action progressively, his expression darkened.
The hearts of those who clearly captured the change in Mr. Ward’s expression sank.
Even if Mr. Ward still didn’t open his mouth, his answer…was clear to everyone.
Of course.
Mr. Ward said, “The Old Master will make the Hughes Family remain unchanged for the time being.”
When he said out that, the atmosphere that seemed to be relaxant and happy before became very cold
and tense.
Although they all guessed Mr. Ward’s answer just from his expression, everyone couldn’t help but felt
gloomy and disappointed.
“If he keeps the Hughes Family no change, I’m afraid the Blood Trap…will last at least three months!”
The hoarse and solemn voice of the Mysterious Man echoed in the restaurant.
Brent and Daisy looked at each other.
They already talked about that before.
Just as Mr. Ward said that sentence, their guess was about to become reality.
Without the strong support and suppressing of the Hughes Family, the major powers would not have
the slightest fear, and would obviously act recklessly.
Just as the Mysterious Man said, that Bloody Trap would last at least three months.
Moreover, that was an optimistic estimate.
As for a pessimistic one…
That was less than three months.
Or maybe three months later, at Patrick Hughes’ birthday party, Jack could not be able to take the
crown of the next Master!
In either case, the cost of all that was Jack’s…life!
Mr. Ward had a sad expression and looked very down in the dumps.
He looked slowly at Jack with pity, with reluctance and with the tenderness of an elder to the younger.
“When I reported that thing, I didn’t expected such a result.”
“Is that all he said?” Jack asked, raising his eyebrows.
Mr. Ward nodded, “Yes, just that.”
A quick answer.
But it made Jack laugh.
When everyone saw Jack’s smile, they got stunned.
Amber raised her hand subconsciously and landed on Jack’s left hand, holding it softly.
“Honey, it’s okay. You still have us.”
“Of course I’m okay.”novelbin
Jack was smiling, but when looked at Amber, his expression became extremely cold.
“I just think it’s funny! My father wants me to take over his business one by one. Now that his son is
suffering from this Bloody Trap, he can just simply order the Hughes Family to remain no change. This
kind of attitude is so cold and cruel!”
His cold and sharp voice suddenly made the atmosphere in the restaurant become extremely cold.
Amber’s throat tightened as Jack stared at her.
Also Mr. Ward, Brent and Daisy looked very solemn, and a little bit indignant.
Jack already experienced that situation more than once.
It was not the first or second time they went through it with Jack.
But never before Patrick acted so indifferently and looked on without lifting a finger.
When his son asked him for help, he just rejected with some simple words.
Because of that, the three of them wanted to talk out a bit more about Patrick, but their throats were
tightened and they didn’t know where to start.
Da-da…
The knuckle of the Mysterious Man’s right hand tapped lightly on the table.
He was also the most emotionally stable of the group.
Raising his eyebrows, the Mysterious Man looked deeply into Jack’s eyes and said with a hoarse voice,
“Maybe he didn’t take the initiative to hold back, but…he’s passively staying put. Or perhaps…it’s not
the right time?”
Apparently, the Mysterious Man was looking for a way out of Patrick’s decision.
Mr. Ward and the others looked at the Mysterious Man in succession.
“You mean the Old Master is blocked by the Hughes Family?” Brent asked.
The Mysterious Man laughed jokingly, “A father won’t never kill his own son. If he’s not forced, how
could he respond with just one sentence to this kind of situation?”
Brent and the others got it.
That’s true, the same situation had already happened many times.
Every time, Patrick had protected Jack either dominantly or kept it secret. Anyway, he never was as
indifferent as now.
But that time, his quick answer “stay put” was too weird.
Taking the initiative to stay put was ridiculous.
Being forced to remain unchanged was quiet probable. It must be known that the whole Hughes Family
was never united as a whole. However, it seemed very calm, but in reality, its factions were surging
with rage.
And for the so-called “it’s not the right time”, Mr. Ward and the others didn’t think too much about it.
That was just an irrelevant guess. Otherwise…what was the so-called “right time”?
“Young Master, what the Mysterious Man said makes sense.”
Mr. Ward whispered, and patted the back of Jack’s hand with his left hand, “The Old Master has always
been concerned about your and Mrs. Hughes’ lives, and you have seen in the past that the Old Master
would not hesitate to shake the whole Hughes Family and bomb the Burton Family for you. His short
and categorical answer should indeed contain something.”
“Concerned about my life?”
Jack smiled and looked at the delicious food on the table, but he had no appetite anymore.
Then.
Under the frightened eyes of everyone, he just stood up and strode into his room.
Bang!
The door thundered.
The door was slammed shut.
In the restaurant.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
When Mr. Ward realized that Brent and the others were staring at him, he had a self-reproach and
embarrassed smile, “It’s my fault that the Young Master lost his manner, it’s just my own fault.”
“I will talk to him.”
Amber stood up and pushed the wheelchair towards Jack’s room.
Jack’s uncrippled legs were his trump card.
However, at that moment, Jack was ignoring that trump card. He got up and directly went back to his
room, showing that he was not as calm as he seemed.
Amber just stepped to Mr. Ward’s side.
Mr. Ward stood up and stopped Amber, smiling awkwardly, “Mrs. Hughes, all this happened because of
me, I should personally go to the Young Master to apologize.”
