Winner Takes All

The following days.

Jack Hughes became busy again leading the project of DT real estate agency.

He and Yael Quinn would also build up the framework of the financial company. The follow-up matter would only need to be led by Yael.

He didn't care about any matter from the capital city caused by the Burton family.

He wasn't related to that kind of Burton family even if they reached their end or were close to death.

He had only two places to go every day, which were his home and the company. Amber Knight would come to TM Villa District to accompany Sophie every day since the incident.

Sometimes, she would learn to cook from Daisy Hill.

It was simple and happy and it made Jack feel sweet.

However, it didn't mean Jack could keep out of the affair even though he didn't care about the matter caused by the Burton family.

In the evening.

Jack, Mr. Ward, Brent, and Yael sat on the balcony while drinking beer and enjoying the night wind.

The balcony at the rooftop of the villa became a place for them to chill and rest in their free time.

"Young master, the matters that arise from the capital city are pretty huge." Mr. Ward murmured.

Jack smiled and didn't comment about it.

Yael drank a mouthful of beer and said, "The Burton family has been the richest family of the capital city for so many years. I think there are many people who want to have that position. This time, Jack and Mr. Hughes had ripped off the 'skin' of the Burton family. Those people would definitely take down the Burton family while it is in trouble."

He shrugged his shoulders as he said, "The Quinn family from X city was also wanted to be taken down by a lot of people secretly."

Mr. Ward curled his lips and looked at the night sky, "I don't care about the matters from the capital city. Yet, they are slowly coming in our way." Jack frowned and looked at Mr. Ward with a shocking look.

He indeed did not care about the Burton family. Even if the capital city was in the eyes of the storm, he would still stay in his position patiently. However, if the 'storm' was blown towards them, at last, he and DT real estate agency would definitely be dragged into the vortex.

It was not yet the time to fight against the powerful forces from the capital city with his current power.

Yael's expression became serious too.

As a part of the Quinn family, he clearly knew about the fight among rich families and forces.

"The matter during that night was too big. The capital city is full of powerful forces. It would be too easy for them to clearly investigate the matter." Yael frowned and murmured, "Jack, what do you think about this matter?"

"I could only watch and not do anything."

Jack self-mocked and laughed, "The 'storm' of the capital city came and stayed at this small DT real estate agency. I have no other measures besides only looking at it." "Young master does not have to worry about it. After all, the head of the Hughes family and the entire Hughes family still have your back." Brent said and comforted. Yael frowned and said, "Even though the Burton family knows Jack's background, didn't they still kidnap Mrs. Hughes."

Brent was speechless.

However, Mr. Ward smiled, "It's fine. We will just see how things change."

The next morning.

After Jack and Brent had their monstrous training, they had breakfast and prepared to go to the company. However, an invitation letter was sent to the house door by the security guard of the TM Villa District.

After opening the invitation letter, Jack suddenly felt a little upset.

"Why does it come so fast?"

"Is it from the capital city?" Mr. Ward frowned and asked.

Jack nodded and sighed helplessly, "It is from the Vaughn family from the capital city. They invite me to an auction in the city tonight." "An auction?"

Mr. Ward was stunned, then he immediately smiled and said, "Since it is an invitation to an auction, they should have come with a good intention." Jack hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Ward, let's talk about the Vaughn family in the car."

Having immersed himself in the real estate industry for three years, he still clearly knew about families involved in the real estate industry.

However, he had to ask Mr. Ward about the other rich families outside this industry.

The Rolls Royce was driven towards DT real estate agency.

In the car, Mr. Ward started narrating, "Young Master, the Vaughn family is considered to have a pretty clean family background. Its power is not that big in the capital city. It specializes in the film and entertainment industry. After three generations of hard work, it seemed to be one of the few tops in the industry. Now, they have cooperated with international film companies."

Weak power.

Clean family background.

Jack quickly processed the most important messages from Mr. Ward's prepared information. He felt relieved.

The Vaughn family should indeed come with good intention to make a good relationship as what Mr. Ward said.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Otherwise, how could this 'weak' family dare to deal with him?

After stretching his body, Jack said, "I will ask Yael to accompany me there tonight."

Mr. Ward nodded. He was not confused about why Jack would bring Yael but not him.

In fact, Jack thought that Mr. Ward was already old. Before that, he had no other people to help him, so he could only rely on Mr. Ward. Now, Yael who was also from a rich family could share the responsibility with Mr. Ward.

He was busy the whole day.

At 6 pm in the afternoon.

Jack knocked off on time. He walked downstairs and waited for a while.

A loud engine sound was heard from the far corner of the street. The loud sound could be heard on the whole street.

After that, Jack saw a black Koenigsegg rush towards him.

Beep!

The Koenigsegg stopped. The car door was opened and Yael walked out, "Let's go, Jack!"

Jack was silent as he was shocked.

His heart beat faster as he looked at the Koenigsegg.

This car was extremely expensive!

"Jack, stop being stunned. It is only a car, why are you so shocked?" Yael laughed with an unserious tone.

Jack wanted to say something but he didn't. Then, he got into the car.

Feeling the luxury inside the car, he was a little blank.

He was the heir of the Hughes family while Yael was the abandoned member of the Quinn family.

These two totally different lifestyles made Jack feel like he was the abandoned member.

"Yael, how much private savings do you have?"

Jack couldn't help to ask, "At first, you bought the villa beside my house, and now you bought this expensive car. I feel like you are the one who looks like the heir of the Hughes family."

"Not much. Not much."

Yael smiled mysteriously. He gave Jack a scornful look while driving, "Your father gave you so much money and you hid it yourself without showing off. Are you not allowing me to show off?" Jack went speechless.

The Koenigsegg was driven extremely fast.

When they reached the auction, it was already 7.30 pm.

The night fell.

Looking at the ancient attic in front of him, Jack was a little dazed.

He had been to many high-class places. However, this was the first time he been to an auction.

His action and behavior looked overcautious.

However, Yael looked relax and chill as he swaggered into the auction.

While walking, he complained to Jack, "Jack, the auction in your city looked so bad. The auction from my X City has better style. Look at this auction's name, TB Attic, it's so outdated." Jack couldn't help laughing.

When the pair reached the entrance, they showed the invitation letter. Then, they were led into the auction by a specially-assigned person.

The light suddenly turned dim.

Following the long corridor, they walked deeper into the auction. The light was only focused on the middle of the stage in the hall.

"Sir, please follow me."

The staff from the auction brought Jack and Yael to a private room on the second floor.

When two of them went upstairs, an extremely soft laughter sounded not far away from them in the darkness, "Grandfather, that Jack looks so unserious. He looks like a prodigal!"

Then, a husky laughter sounded, "Vinna, the intelligence agency of our Vaughn family had reached its limit to find out the incident that night. They couldn't find out Jack Hughes's look. Later, you have to act with flexibility. If you had mistaken Jack Hughes, then it would not be done smooth."

"Don't worry. It's definitely the unserious one. The man in a suit beside him acted so overcautiously. Would the heir of the Hughes family act like this in such a small event?" A certainty was within her soft voice. "You are right."

The husky voice suddenly became a little deep, "Vinna, would you blame grandfather? The Vaughn family would depend on you tonight. If you could get Jack Hughes's trust, we, the Vaughn family would have built ourselves another leverage for our future."

"I would not blame grandfather. Moreover, Jack was the heir of the Hughes family. If he fell for me, I would not have any loss too."

In the darkness, a tall and beautiful figure in a long dress slowly walked towards the second floor.
