The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 221 Doubtful News

Steve and Rosie left in a hurry.

Amber did not expect that either.

However, Minister Mable was clear of the situation. The couple was going back to follow-up on the

plans of QY International Group.

After the explanation.

Jack and Amber understood the situation.

The night breeze was a little cold.

His mother and Mr.Ward went in the car.

Jack held on to Amber’s hand. They were not in rush to go home.

They strolled in the bamboo grove to wake themselves from the wine.

“Amber, thank you. Thank you to your parents too.” Jack said suddenly.

“Dummy, there’s no need to thank us. We are a family now.” Amber playfully scolded, “Silly you.”

Jack chucked. He looked deep into Amber’s eyes,

“I understand that Mr. and Mrs. Knight want us to be eased.”

Happiness as the betrothal gift was just a saying.

Since Amber was going to get married to him, he should bring her happiness.

And rejecting the betrothal gift was the deep concern of Steve and his wife about him and Amber.

He was the heir of the Hughes family, and he sure had his wealth.

How much should he give to Amber, who was brought up in such a wealthy family?

The Hughes was the winner that had defeated others and taken all.

If the heirs wanted to stand out and be the next head of the family, they should keep on proving

themselves worthy.

And he was different from every heir in the family.

He would not have the chance to be an heir if it was not because his father had opposed the rejection

of others for the sake of him.

Because of that, he wanted to enter the Hughes family and make the glory that should have belonged

to his mother, surround her again.

He could do that only by being better than other heirs in the family, not just a little, but much better!

A full score was what he needed to defeat all the heirs for once and for all.

The betrothal gift would undoubtedly delay many of his plans for a short time.

Steve and his wife clearly understood that.

That was why they rejected Jack!

He let out a deep breath filled with the scent of wine. Jack patted Amber’s head with love.

“You are the silly one. Come, let’s go home.”

Jack pulled Amber’s hand and took her to the car.

Mr.Ward sent Amber home first before heading back to TM Villa District.

Jack slept soundly that night.

He dreamt of Amber and his wedding.

That made him wake up at about almost noon.

Jack, who was used to getting up early and have a busy day looked at the sunshine outside his window

and was a little lost.

“How long it had been since the last time I’ve slept like that?”

He stretched and washed up.

Jack went downstairs. His mother, Mr.Ward and Daisy were all sitting in the living room watching TV.

“Mom, why didn’t you wake me up since I overslept?”

“It’s rare to see you sleep so soundly. Why shouldn’t I let you sleep longer?”

Sophie smiled gently and said with care.

However, Mr. Ward, who was sitting in front of the TV sent him a gaze, signaling him to walk towards

them.

Jack frowned and went to have a look.

The news that the news channel on the TV broadcasted made him frown more.

Because the news broadcasted was about the murder of Harold from the Quinn family in X city.

The news broadcast was coming to an end. The news ended in just shortly few seconds.

Sophie turned around and asked Jack, “Are you hungry?”

Daisy stood up at once, “I’ll go and prepare lunch now.”

Jack shook his head, “I’m not hungry. Mr. Ward, let’s go on a walk.”

Both of them walked out of the villa.

They strolled in the garden. None of them spoke.

After a while.

Mr. Ward said, “Young Master, you wanted to ask me about the news, am I right?”

Jack nodded. He said confusedly, “I can’t make it out. Why does the Quinn family suppress the news

and expose it only now? And in such big news.”

Jack doubted that since a long time ago.

Harold was the second generation of the Quinn family in X city.

Why were they so calm after such a big issue happened?

He had been waiting for the Quinn family to show their anger even after he sent Yael to the hospital

that night.

However, the matter that should have been an issue was dragged until now.

And it was not the Quinn family who reacted first. Instead, it was the news which brought the matter to

the public.

Would it be possible that the Quinn family did not know the truth behind that?

Would the tycoons not find out the truth?

What was their intention in doing so?

Mr. Ward frowned and shook his head, “I think it is strange too. If it were a feud among those tycoons,

most of them would have a great fight secretly and kill each other. I couldn’t figure out the Quinn

family’s intention of doing so.”

Jack smiled helplessly.

When there was something unusual, there was something fishy in it.

Obviously, the Quinn family’s fishy act this time made them puzzled.

After taking a deep breath.

Jack shrugged, “Never mind. Forget it. We’ll find out a way to solve if anything happens.”

“That’s what we can do for now.” Mr. Ward sighed and said, “I’ll report this to the Old Master. We’ll see

what the Old Master says.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Jack did not stop him.

Whether it was him or Mr. Ward, were not as good as his father in the fights between the rich families.

Maybe his father could understand the strange act of the Quinn Family that Jack and Mr. Ward could

not understand.

…….

Everything was calm for the next two days.

The news of Harold Quinn being killed was as if a ripple on a calm surface of the water. The surface of

the water returned to its calm state after the ripple.

Jack was even more confused because of that.

The calmness was obviously not what the Quinn family wanted.

It was no doubt that it was a humiliation that the second generation of the richest family was killed.

The calmness now was more like the calmness before a storm.

When he was back home that evening.

Mr. Ward took Jack to the balcony on the second floor in a rush.

“Was there news from my dad?”

Mr. Ward said in a serious expression, “The Old Master had no idea about the matter yet. But he asked

you, young master, to be cautious, because…”

After pausing for a while, Mr. Ward said with fear, “Because, the Old Master found out that Madam

Hughes had recently been to X city, which was not far from the time reported in the news.”

“Madam Hughes?”

Jack felt his heart lost a beat, “Would it have something to do with the Quinn family?”

If that were the matter, it would be difficult to deal with.

No matter how unruly Madam Hughes was, she was a family member of the Hughes after all.

And his father was the head of the Hughes family.

Although his father might sometimes be constrained by Madam Hughes, Madam Hughes would not be

able to do anything if his father was serious about it.

For example, Madam Hughes finally gave in when his father was determined to force and threaten her.

The biggest reason was his father controlled most of the resources of the Hughes family than Madam

Hughes. His words were more effective.

Therefore, it was not easy for Madam Hughes to take advantage of the Hughes family to deal with him.

If Madam Hughes and the Quinn family joined hands.

Then Madam Hughes could use the hands of the Quinn family to deal with him. She would be able to

avoid the involvement of the Hughes family.

“Do you understand, young master?”

Mr. Ward asked when he saw Jack’s face turned gloomy.

Jack nodded, “If they join hands, my father would be in fear too, am I right?”

“Exactly.”

Mr. Ward nodded, “That why the Old Master was trying to ask you to be careful. Stay cautious before

the trouble exposes itself.”

Jack rubbed his face with his hand helplessly.

He said a little helplessly, “I’m afraid when the trouble comes, it would be a deadly trap instead of just

trouble.”
