The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 186 I’m Here To Snatch A Person, Not To Negotiate!

“You…”

In an instance, Old Master Burton became like a raging Lion, raised his walking stick, and was about to

strike down on the ground. But he suddenly paused in midair.

Stomp!

The walking stick struck firmly onto the ground. Old Master Burton took a deep breath as he calmed

down and revealed a radiant smile.

“If I really were to force you to your death, wouldn’t Jack be totally detached from the Burton family?”

Sophie’s expression changed. That was exactly what she thought. Because of her link with the family,

that was why Jack was constrained in what he could do to the Burton family. If she wasn’t around, Jack

can dedicate himself fully to secure his position as the head of the Hughes family.

If his mother wasn’t around, he still had his father! She knew that she had been the stumbling block to

Jack all these years. She will not allow Jack to forgo the opportunity of becoming the head of the

Hughes family by taking over the Burton family.

Setting aside the ruthlessness of the Burton family, there was no comparison between the Hughes and

Burton families! How could she allow her son to be a dragon and yet submit to the clouds?

Sophie took a deep breath and endured the intense pain on her right leg and said with determination,

“Jack will never take up the head of the Burton family!”

“You spoke too soon!” Old Master Burton laughed, “Jack is not stupid, he only had a right to become

the head of the Hughes family. What are his chances of becoming with the rest of the Hughes fighting

for the position? But if he were to turn towards the Burton family, he will immediately become the head

of the family!”

“The Burton family cannot be compared to the Hughes family but if Jack becomes the head of the

family, he can likewise lord over the commoners!”

“Jack is indeed smart and he is smart enough not to salvage a bloodthirsty family. With me around, do

you think that he will come to you like a moth to the fire?” Sophie laughed heartily although she was in

immense pain, “I know what your motives are. Jack and I are worthless to you. What you really want is

for Jack to save your family from your son who is a fool!”

Old Master Burton’s smile froze and turned gloomy.

When Sophie saw his expression, she became determined and smiled, “Based on your character, how

could you bear to hand over control of the family to an ‘outsider’? You just want Jack to turn things

around for your company and once things are stable, you will transfer it back to your idiotic son!”

“Even if you’re dead, you will definitely plan carefully and instruct all the fools how to gain back the

authority!”

Kaboom!

Old Master Burton shivered. His expression didn’t change but the veins at the corner of his eyes

protruded and throbbed. He grabbed the walking stick tightly in his right hand.

After a moment.

Old Master Burton suddenly laughed sinisterly. “You are indeed stronger than your brother. But for the

sake of the glory of the Burton family, it was fated that you became the sacrificial lamb as soon as you

were born, although you are more capable!”

He turned to leave after he said, “Jack will come. Whether he was willing to take over the Burton family,

I have nothing to fear as long as you remain the sacrificial lamb.”

Sophie instantly became furious when she heard this. She crawled and dragged herself towards Old

Master Burton and yelled, “How inhumane can you be? Why are you so ruthless towards your own

daughter?”

“Whatever I do is for the good of the family.” Old Master Burton stopped and looked at Sophie without

the slightest pity.

“You will regret this, you will definitely regret this!” Sophie yelled furiously as her hands grabbed onto

Old Master Burton’s leg, “We are no longer the helpless mother and son. Now Jack’s father is back and

he… he will not forgive you!”

“What a joke! If he was like me who had total control over the family, then I may be scared of him. But if

he has to go through Madam Hughes if wants to do anything to me!”

Bash!

As Old Master Burton scoffed, he raised his walking stick and ruthlessly jabbed into Sophie’s right

hand.

“Argh!” Sophie yelled in pain and released Old Master Burton’s leg.

After Old Master Burton left, two maids ran into the room and lifted Sophie, and tossed her onto the

bed. From the beginning to the end, whether it was Old Master Burton or the lowest level maids, all

didn’t show Sophie and mercy or respect.

At the café outside the Capital Airport.

Jack and the three of them sat next to a window. The night had fallen but it was bright around the

airport.

Jack looked outside gloomily and asked, “Mr. Ward, how long do we have to wait?”

In fact, they had already landed but Mr. Ward received Patrick’s instructions to wait at the airport.

But they waited till the day turned into the night!

“I’m not sure. We are to wait for Old Master to arrive.” Mr. Ward replied.

“Wait till he arrived?” Jack turned to him and looked sharply, “We’ve waited for several hours. How long

more do we have to wait? If he doesn’t come, don’t tell me my mother will have to remain at the Burton

family?”

Old Master Burton practically didn’t regard his mother as his daughter. For over twenty years, he

ruthlessly and brazenly pillaged the business left behind by his father and continuously suppressed his

mother not giving her any chance of rising up. If a father was willing to do this to his daughter, Jack

could not imagine his mother being treated properly by the Burton family now.

“This is Old Master’s orders!” Mr. Ward smiled bitterly.

“Fucked up order! I won’t wait any longer!” Jack suddenly stood up and walked out swiftly, “He can wait

but I as a son can’t!”

“Mr. Ward…” Brent was stunned and hesitated as he looked at Mr. Ward.

“Mr. Ward sighed helplessly, “Let’s go.”

Yael was the last to stand up and looked at the furious Jack and rubbed his chin, “How interesting, he

is indeed ruthless.”

He looked up towards some dark clouds and smiled, “It’s going to be stormy tonight.”

In the dark of the night, the Hummer drove like a prancing beast towards the suburbs of the Capital.

The menacing huge vehicle dashed around causing all surrounding cars to stay clear of it.

Rumble…

In the dark night, thunderclaps can be heard from the dark clouds as if the sky was starting to roar. It

made the suppressed Capital feel even more suffocating.

The Hummer continued to speed towards the Fragrant Hills.

The road ahead was brightly lit by the headlights as Brent drove quickly without any intention of slowing

down. Jack chose to sit on the front passenger seat. He looked coldly ahead as the lightning flashed

around them and the thunder clapped. The lightning occasionally lighted the area around them. They

finally approached an ominous towering castle villa. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Master Hughes, it’s the Burton family ahead.” Brent pointed to the villa ahead.

Jack’s cold expression turned sinister. Looking at the castle villa, it was like seeing the remnants of a

failed feudal system. The desolated castle looked cold and ruthless. Slowly, Jack’s expression turned

ferocious. It was like flames were churning in his eyes.

Brent began to slow down as they got nearer to the castle.

Jack turned and demanded, “Why are you slowing down?”

“It’s the Burton family castle, we need them to open the gate,” Brent explained.

Jack looked aggressively, lifted his right hand, and pointed to the gates of the castle, and said, “I’m

here to snatch a person, not here to negotiate. Speed up, bash in!”

Kaboom!

A deafening clap of the thunder roared in the night and the lightning flashed brightly.

Mr. Ward, Brent, and Yael trembled in unison and their expression changed drastically.

They felt an intense sense of panic and dread…
