Winner Takes All novel Chapter 212

A week later.

Ciara’s entertainment company was successfully set up with the name “Jackpot Entertainment.”

Jack couldn’t help and laughed when he heard of this name. He smacked his mouth, “Jackpot … hmm…”

Jack didn’t mind since they decided to partner up. This name must be Ciara’s way of paying homage to Jack.

Within one week of X City’s Jour family taking the fall, the small Jour family was like steam and disappeared without a trace. Many rich and powerful families and everybody were shocked when they heard if the news.

Following that, the rich and powerful families laughed bitterly as they all knew that the Jour family of X City was a sacrifice. But no one would come out to retaliate and certainly, no one would pity the Jour family.

Instead, it was Jackpot Entertainment’s set up that made waves in the Capital. The intelligence network of the wealthy giants managed to determine very quickly that Jackpot Entertainment was established by Jack and the Wattson family. That meant that Jack and the Wattson family were now allies. Following that it will be time for the entertainment industry to be turned upside down.

The bombing of the Burton residence spread through the Capital like a raging storm. The setting up of Jackpot Entertainment was clearly pouring fuel into the fire that was already raging in the Capital.

But, when the wealthy giants were panicking, no one sneered at the Wattson family’s haste to rush forward. By working with Jack, it was sufficient for the Wattson family to rise directly to the top. But what if they were wrong about Jack’s capabilities?

There were many elites in the Hughes family and numerous potential heirs. This matter involved the future of the Hughes family and each of the heirs was mysterious and high and mighty. Jack was considered as a feral heir of the Hughes family and that made a lot of people smell the opportunities.

When carefully considered, how competitive could a feral heir be compared to the other heirs? The wealthy giants regarded Jack’s chances to become the head of the Hughes family to be next to nothing. Once Jack fails, the Wattson family will bring instant calamity onto themselves.

To the wealthy giants, the Wattson family had wagered their future in a high stakes gamble with Jack. And the chance of winning was very low!

Jade Spring Villa.

After a week’s wait, Old Master Vaughn and Vinna had run out of patience.

The establishment of Jackpot Entertainment and the changes in the Capital had caused Old Master Vaughn to have sleepless nights. He was restless throughout this time.

“Grandfather, must we continue to wait?” At midday, Vinna looked at the sumptuous spread but did not have any appetite to eat.

During this period, although her grandfather and she had their freedom inside the Jade Spring villa, lived in luxury, and ate sumptuous food, there was no difference with house arrest! Setting aside other issues, Vinna was never punished like this before.

“We can’t wait any further. I need to rush back to the Capital to plan otherwise our family’s main industry will be disrupted.” Old Master Vaughn was very determined, “If we continue to wait like this the skies over the Capital will absolutely change!”

After being submerged in the industry for decades, he clearly understood the importance of timing. If he couldn’t make plans and prepare before the situation changed in the Capital, when things start to change, even the Vaughn family as the leader of the entertainment industry will be helpless. Under immense changes, resistance would be futile.

As he said, he stood up and walked to the door, “Man, I want to see Aiden!”

Aiden arrived ten minutes later. During this period of time, Aiden stayed at the Jade Spring Villa and didn’t go to the office. He was helping Jack to monitor these two Vaughns.

“Old Master Vaughn, how may I be of assistance?” Aiden asked.

“I want to see Mr. Hughes!” Old Master Vaughn’s expression was stern and determined.

“This…” Aiden hesitated.

“I want to offer my apologies to Mr. Hughes!” This made Aiden nod in agreement.

An hour later.

Aiden brought Old Master Vaughn and Vinna to LJ Hospital. It was just after midday.

Jack laid on the bed and lazily ate the apple sliced by Amber. Yael picked up an apple and took a big bite out of it.

“It’s unwashed.” Mr. Ward said.

Yale chewed and answered, “Damn… how dare they display their affection in front of us!”

Pfft!

What he said made Jack and Amber laugh together.

Jack laughed and said, “Don’t mind us, what I had already agreed with you will depend on your acting skills in a while.”

Yael was stunned and his eyes dazzled. He spat the apple skin into the bin and said happily, “They’re here?”

“They finally can’t wait any longer.” Jack smiled and looked towards Mr. Ward.

Mr. Ward smiled in return. In fact, it was Mr. Ward who suggested that Old Master Vaughn and Vinna be kept at the Jade Spring Villa for a week without any contacts.

If Jack had forcibly questioned Old Master Vaughn, it would only be a temporary pain. However, if he was to let them simmer for a period and let Old Master Vaughn’s thoughts run wild, he would personally seek to apologize and remember this for life.

This was a tactic that a supreme person should wield.

Knock knock!

“Enter.” Jack raised his eyebrow and looked at Yael.

Yael gave him an OK signal and leaned back onto the sofa and pretended not to care about what was happening.

“Mr. Hughes, Old Master Vaughn came to visit you.” Aiden entered and announced very politely. Old Master Vaughn and Vinna followed closely behind. Although Old Master Vaughn was calm and steady, Vinna’s expression betrayed their anxiety.

“Mr. Hughes, I’m here especially to render my humble apologies.” Old Master Vaughn smiled and bowed slightly.

Jack suddenly laughed and his eyes were blazing with anger as he looked at Old Master Vaughn, “Old Master Vaughn must be joking. What did you do wrong? And what’s there to apologize about?”

On hearing this, Old Master Vaughn frowned and his eyes dazzled. Vinna’s face flushed in red and became unsettled. She was lofty and superior and was not used to apologizing to anyone.

But when she saw that because of her recklessness her grandfather had to bow to apologize and also what was happening at the capital, she also pursed her lips and said humbly to Jack, “Mr. Hughes, I’m sorry for my recklessness the other night and almost harmed you. Please forgive me.”

“Oh?” Jack scoffed, “The wound on my back hasn’t even started to heal.” What he said immediately brought down the temperature of the room.

Old Master Vaughn and Vinna’s heart sank at the same moment.

Old Master Vaughn suddenly said sternly, “Vinna, kneel!”

Vinna was shocked but she obeyed and knelt on the floor.

“Beg Mr. Hughes for his forgiveness!” Old Master Vaughn shouted angrily but smiled radiantly when he turned to face Jack, “Mr. Hughes, please forgive her on account of her youthful brashness. The Vaughn family is willing to compensate you with a billion yuan.”

Boom!

It was as if lightning struck Vinna. She just pushed him and that cost a billion?

Jack was in no hurry to answer. He looked quietly towards Yael. The sudden silence in the room made Old Master Vaughn and Vinna extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly.

The cynical Yael stood up and said, “Jack, let me comment as your friend. The Vaughn family is already so sincere. You’re a gentleman, what else aren’t you satisfied with?”

The message sounded righteous and the tone was sharp. Mr. Ward and Amber looked on in surprise.

Had the acting begun?
