Winner Takes All novel Chapter 112

Jack Hughes was in a meeting in his company when his mother fainted.

After receiving Mr. Ward’s call, Jack slapped the table hard with a loud sound.

The cup on the table was broken by the slap. The pieces hurt Jack’s palm and it started bleeding.

The sudden move scared everyone around.

The meeting room was extremely quiet.

At the moment, Jack was like a raging lion and he had a fierce look in his eyes.

“Corbin, you will chair the meeting, I have to leave now.”

Jack turned and left.

Corbin Koch was shocked, “Jack, this is related to the advanced sales. Three buildings will be sold advanced at the beginning of the month. I, I’m afraid that I couldn’t do it right!”

“You have to do it even if you couldn’t!”

Jack’s angry voice came from the corridor outside the meeting room.

Money could be earned again. If his mother’s health had a problem, that would be a more serious problem!

LJ Hospital.

Jack got out of the car and quickly ran into the hospital.

People from the surrounding were in a panic and they quickly dodged away from him.

“Dr. Hale, that guy looks so fierce. Could it be that he is here to bring us trouble?”

A nurse showed a nervous look. There were a lot of incidents that happened these few years, the medical staffs were scared.

Dr. Hale was the doctor in charge to treat Sophie Burton last time.

“Don’t talk nonsense. That’s Mr. Hughes.”

Dr. Hale said seriously and stopped Jack who was running, “Mr. Hughes, your mother is no longer in danger.”

“Dr. Hale, where is my mother?”

Jack held Dr. Hale’s hand and felt relieved.

“She was just out of the emergency room, I have arranged her to stay in the ward.”

Dr. Hale frowned as he said, “What happened this time? Your mother’s body has recovered. If she didn’t get enraged, she wouldn’t have been in this situation.”

“Let me see my mother first.”

Jack was confused too. Mr. Ward didn’t explain what had happened in the call.

Upon hearing that.

Dr. Hale quickly led him to the ward.

In the VIP ward, Sophie was still in a coma. There were a lot of medical instruments over her body.

Daisy Hill sat beside the bed and showed a sad look while holding Sophie’s hand.

Mr. Ward and Brent showed a sullen look as they stood aside.

Jack opened the door and rushed into the ward.

“Mr. Hughes.”

“Young master.”

Daisy, Mr. Ward, and Brent shouted at the same time when they saw Jack.

Jack nodded and moved quickly to Sophie’s side. He frowned after seeing Sophie still in a coma.

Daisy sobbed and said, “I, I am sorry, Mr. Hughes. I…”

“This matter isn’t related to you. You don’t have to feel guilty.”

Jack raised his hand to stop Daisy’s words.

He knew Daisy took good care of his mother. His mother even treated Daisy like her daughter.

Obviously, something had happened and it must have enraged his mother.

After saying that, he looked at Mr. Ward and Brent angrily.

“Young master, let’s talk outside.”

Mr. Ward sighed and walked towards the corridor.

Jack looked at Mr. Ward and Brent angrily on the corridor, “What happened?”

“It was Killian,” Brent said.

Jack immediately clenched his fist and showed a murderous intention in his eyes.

Mr. Ward said slowly, “Today, Tommy drove into the villa and wanted to meet Killian to deal with their Parry family’s matter. At first, we didn’t bother about it, but Killian gave a cheque of 5 million yuan to Tommy and said he was giving the cheque by giving you a face.”

Bang!

A loud voice sounded in Jack’s mind and he smiled with a frightening look, “Killian, you are really a vicious person!”

Mr. Ward continued to say, “At that time, Mrs. Hughes was too angry to bring us to talk. At last, Tommy had been driven away but Killian made Mrs. Hughes angry and she fainted. And she was sent to the hospital.”

“What did he say?” Jack closed his eyes and asked.

His body radiated an extremely cold vibe. Mr. Ward and Brent could feel that the temperature had dropped.

“He said that Mrs. Hughes has a cheap life to give birth an illegitimate bastard!” Mr. Ward said.

“Huh!”

Jack curled his lips and he couldn’t suppress his extreme anger anymore. However, he suddenly showed an abnormally calm expression.

This made Mr. Ward and Brent stunned.

Then, he slowly said.

“Brent, follow me!”

Boom!

Mr. Ward and Brent were shocked as if they were struck by lightning.

“Young master, do not act on impulse. He did this intentionally to provoke you and to make you act against the family’s rules!” Mr. Ward quickly stopped Jack.

Yet, Jack shook off Mr. Ward's hand violently, “He made my mother lay in the hospital and you want me to not act on impulse? This joke isn’t funny at all!”

“Family’s rules or the heirs of the Hughes family are not even important compared to my mother!”

“If he brings me trouble, I could bear it. But he had brought trouble to my mum, even the god has to lay down for me!”

There were strong murderous intention and anger within the words.

Killian had touched Jack’s bottom line and he wanted him to be dead!

His mother was everything to him.

If his mother was humiliated, he, as her son, didn’t defend her, wouldn’t he be a failure?

“Brent!”

Jack took big steps and walked outside.

Brent quickly followed him.

“Brent, watch young master carefully!”

Mr. Ward hurriedly reminded him. When they left at the end of the corridor, he sighed, “Young master… please do not let old master’s effort disappear in a second.”

He knew of Jack and Sophie’s close relationship.

No one could bear that if his mother was humiliated.

Furthermore, they had been staying together for more than 20 years.

In this kind of relationship, no matter how rational the person was, he would ignore everything he feared last time.

That was why he didn’t stop him with force. He knew that it wouldn’t work.

Letting Brent watch Jack carefully was the best way that Mr. Ward could think of.

As long as he didn’t cross the red line, young master would still be one of the heirs!

They got out of the hospital. When Brent hailed a car, Jack sent a WeChat message to Lone Wolf.

After getting in the car, Brent asked in confusion, “Young master, why are you calling Lone Wolf?”

Killian Hughes was personally taught by him. Even if he remembered Mr. Ward’s words of not letting Jack beat him, he could still easily take down Killian!

Jack’s cold face suddenly showed a weird smile, but his eyes made Brent scared.

He said slowly, “Is Lone Wolf a servant?”

Brent frowned and finally realized.

However, he suddenly frowned and said, “Young master, I know what are you thinking but it wouldn’t work.”

“Why?”

Jack frowned.

Brent said, “According to the family’s rules that Mr. Ward mentioned, Lone Wolf isn’t considered a servant. Yet, he is still your man. With this relationship, you would still be punished by the family’s rules!”

“Haha.”

Jack laughed scornfully, “I called Lone Wolf to prevent the family’s rules as much as possible. However, if it couldn’t be prevented, then there is no need to prevent it anymore!”

Brent showed a serious look and wanted to speak.

Yet, Jack looked at Brent with a fierce look, “Tell me, if your mother was harmed, are you willing to use your life to exchange for the life of your foe?”

Brent showed a dull look.

Then, he said fiercely, “I will!”

Jack laughed, looked outside the car, and murmured, “Everyone would do the same.”
