The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 711

The sonorous words were filled with a solid intention to kill.

In an instant, the quiet and peaceful study had a change of atmosphere for the worse.

Patrick was still sitting on the chair but he was trembling by now. His veins were popping, and it could be obviously seen on the corner of his eyes and his neck.

Right now, he seemed to be a volcano that was erupting.

He was furious to the brim!

If there were anyone else around, they would definitely be shocked to their core.

If word got out about this scene, all the affluent families would find it hard to believe too.

The head of the Hughes family was someone who stood at the top of the pyramid while he overlooked all the other beings.

Dominant. Calm. Composed. That was him.

When did he ever lose his composure and broke out in anger?

Patrick was never like this, not even when Jack’s life was at risk, nor when Sophie passed away!

As for this time, he was truly mad.

Not for any other reason, but because that was the Hughes’ blood, the future of the Hughes family, and that was the child of his son!

“Exterminate the whole clan!”

Patrick forced his words out through gritted teeth, “I swear that if the clan is not exterminated, I will kill myself before my wife’s tomb!”

His intention to kill was evident in his words.

Patrick wouldn’t hesitate to do it, even if it meant sacrificing his life.

Mr. Ward who was on the phone also fell into a moment of silence.

He had never faced Patrick’s raging anger before!

Even if he was mentally prepared, it still went beyond his expectation.

“Who the fuck did it?” Patrick roared like a lion that was provoked.

Mr. Ward quickly replied,“Kool family.”

His simple words caused Patrick to freeze amidst his rage.

His eyes widened to the maximum.

Even his murderous aura had disappeared in an instant from the room.

In that instant, the whole study became extremely silent.

It was as if time had stopped for them.

“Old Master…”

Mr. Ward called out to him softly, “The Young Master and Mr.Knight are already planning to investigate the Kool family thoroughly. Revenge against them is on its way.”

“Has it already been set up?”

Patrick spoke slowly. In contrary to his rage from earlier, he was calmer now as he had come back to his senses.

“I delayed it a little.” Mr. Ward replied.

Patrick’s gaze flickered, but his expression did not change. It seemed like he was deep in thoughts.

It took him five minutes before he spoke again.

Finally.

He spoke in a deep voice, “I’ll look into this matter first. Without my orders, you need to stop Jack and my in-laws from doing anything at all cost.”

“Old Master, what’s with the Kool family? Are they an influential family that even I don’t know about?”

Mr. Ward’s doubtful voice traveled across the speaker of the phone.

“They are not. It’s just that our relationship is too messy. It’s too complicated. I couldn’t care less about them but it seems that they are courting for death themselves.”

Patrick’s gaze became solemn.

Beep!

The phone was hung up abruptly.

Patrick sat on the chair indifferently. The veins on the back of his hand were prominent as he was cracking the mobile phone with his bare hands.

The chilly, murderous aura was spreading all over the study.

It was like a sword that was ready to strike anyone that entered here right now.

“Hah!”

After a moment, Patrick tugged at the corner of his lips and laughed amidst his twisted expression, “Lowlifes indeed. If you were to hide yourselves forever, I could let you off the hook. I did not even step in when you hurt Jack. But now, how dare you touch his child? How dare you touch the future of the Hughes family? Do you really think that I’ve been relaxing for the past twenty years and that I am incapable of killing anyone now?”

Bang!

A loud sound erupted.

The mobile phone in Patrick’s right hand was crushed into pieces.

……

The night came by.

He was unable to vent out his pain. Instead, he could only keep them within him.

“Honey, you should go back.”

Amber’s gaze was a little more focused now as she looked at Jack sadly, “If you get sick from being too tired, what will I do?”

“I won’t.” Jack smiled and shook his head in determination.

“I want to spend time with my parents tonight.”

A hint of determination could be seen on Amber’s pallid face.

Jack was stunned. In the end, he agreed to her request.

After Jack and the others left, Steve let out a sigh of relief. He exited the room and went to the stairway to have a puff.

As for Amber, she took her mother’s hand and was almost begging her, “Mom, could you hug me to sleep tonight? I’m scared…”

At the same time, her tears started to flow again. Her lips were trembling too.

“Sure, mommy will stay here with you tonight. Your dad will be here too. Don’t be scared, okay?”

Her mother’s expression was solemn and she was frowning deeply. While hugging Amber, she slowly laid down on the bed.

Amber curled slightly in her mother’s embrace, like a poor cat that had just found a new owner.

Her mother was patting on her back gently, comforting her in a soft voice, just like how she did whenever Amber woke up from a nightmare when she was younger.

Losing a child was far more terrifying than a nightmare.

Amber snuggled into her mother’s arms. She bit onto her lips, trying to stop her tears from flowing but to no avail.

At the TM Villa District.

Jack, who was at home, did not feel sleepy at all.

Even if he was exhausted to the brim, and was having a headache from the lack of sleep, he still couldn’t fall asleep.

He went to the balcony alone and stared at the vast skies. His eyes teared up, “Baby…”

“Have you read the Tao Te Ching I gave you?”

A hoarse voice sounded.

Jack said without looking back, “How did you get up here?”

“I do whatever I want.”

The mysterious person came to Jack’s side, “I have good news and a bad one. Which one do you want to listen to first?”
