The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 824

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.

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.”
