Winner Takes All

LJ Hospital.

Brent was sent to the emergency room.

The doctor also treated Jack and Daisy's injuries.

The two were sitting outside the door of the ER.

Daisy was worried.

Jack on the other hand, sat with his eyes closed. His left hand was gently playing with the gauze wrapped around his right knuckle.

After waiting for half an hour, Brent was finally pushed out.

Daisy exhaled out of relief.

And Jack stopped playing with gauze and opened his eyes.

After getting Brent settled in the ward, Jack gave clear-cut orders and left.

But he never asked about what happened at the construction site.

"Tell young master I'm fine." Brent smiled and comforted Daisy.

He knew that Daisy was worried that she might be fired because of what happened today.

Daisy's current situation really couldn't afford to lose her job.

"But will Mr. Hughes listen to me? He is going to fire me..." Her eyes looked watery, and her hands were clasping the corners of her clothes nervously.

"Young Master is not that kind of person. He doesn't like inquiring about people's private affairs on purpose." Brent smiled. "Go."

Daisy hesitated for a moment, and finally got the courage to chase after Jack.

Brent looked at the ceiling and smiled meaningfully. "Young master looked just like old master just now..."

Daisy was so nervous that when she chased out of the ward. She was out of breath, staggered, and her face flushed.

She saw Jack getting in the car when she rushed to the front door of LJ Hospital. In panic, she yelled.

Jack got out of the Porsche 911, closed the door, and pointed at the bench in the small garden.

The small garden was a place for patients to take a walk.

It was afternoon, and there were few people in the small garden. The garden seemed very secluded.

Jack smiled and looked at Daisy after sitting down. "What's the matter?"

Daisy lowered her head, clutching the corners of her clothes, hesitating.

"Everything's fine? Okay, I gotta get back to work."

Jack got up and paused as if he recalled something. He turned and smiled at Daisy. "By the way, don't forget about my mother when you are taking care of Brent. He is a tough guy. Starving him for a meal or two is fine. My mother can't be starved."

Daisy raised her head in surprise, her eyes burst into tears.

Jack clearly implied her that she wouldn't be fired because of what happened today!

"Thank you. Thank you so much Mr. Hughes... I will take good care of Ms. Burton."

Daisy was excited and she couldn't stop crying.

Jack waved his hand and left.

He wasn't going to ask.

It was Daisy's personal affair. She is just one of his employees, so there is no need to look into every detail.

If Daisy was willing to tell him, she wouldn't lower her head in hesitance just now.

What's more, he believed in Brent although he didn't know Daisy very well.

Brent had nearly died for protecting her, and there was no need to be too snoopy about that.

Jack checked in with Amber in the car.

He didn't want her to worry too much.

However, as soon as he arrived at the company, Jack received a call.

"Hello Mr. Hughes. Drago Chou, the owner of Drago real estate agency, would like to invite you to dinner tonight. He is deeply sorry for what happened on the Seasky estate today." The attitude didn't seem to be apologetic at all.

He smiled. "Okay, where and when."

"Tyson Hotel, Montemar Box on the second floor!"

Snapped!

Jack sneered after hanging up the phone.

There's no disguise for a 'treacherous dinner'?

He rubbed his nose and got back to work.

He must go since Drago has invited him. The suit on him was completely ruined during the fight. had to ask him for reimbursement.

As for other things, he wasn't worried at all.

Although DT real estate agency was moving into top gear lately, Drago is still prevailing. However, it was only the matter of time before DT surpassed Drago.

He wouldn't raise a hand against them on the construction site if he was really scared.

As for the 'treacherous dinner', he was ready for whatever Drago had already planned ahead.

He must stand out against it if anyone dares to bully his employees. Even if he was the emperor, he must be dethroned!

After a while, Aiden called.

Jack smiled and picked up.

"Do you need help, Jack?"

Without extra greetings, Aiden was straight to the point as soon as he spoke up.

"You heard of it already?" Jack smiled. Aiden knows the time of day. Not to mention that the scene was graphic.

"How can you laugh about it?"Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Aiden complained. "Even I am not ballsy enough to mess with Drago. You son of a gun went directly to their turf, beat a dozen people, and broke his cousin's legs. Why weren't you so tough when you worked under me?"

"They beat my people, but I can't strike back? How is that fair?" Jack said with a smile.

Aiden sighed and was silent for a few seconds on the phone.

He then said slowly. "Get ready. Drago is evil. There have been countless confrontations between us over these years. He has used some dirty means. A group of outlaws are under his hand. Should I go there with you tonight?"

Jack paused and couldn't help but feel moved.

Put aside the purpose of why Aiden's doing this.

It was going to be a treacherous dinner tonight. Aiden was willing to accompany him, even if he has a purpose, most people wouldn't have the courage.

"No, I'll go alone. It's okay."

Jack responded with a smile.

"Alright. Keep this in mind, if something comes up, just call me. Although I don't dare to mess up with Drago, he wouldn't be too furious if I am there." Aiden sounded a bit proud.

"Thank you, Mr. Lott."

Jack stopped thinking about the dinner and focused on his work after hanging up the phone.

On the other side, in a luxurious and spacious office.

Aiden adjusted the glasses and laughed at himself. "The younger generation should be regarded with respect. After all the years of feud between Drago and I, a young man is now up for a challenge." Aiden had a meaningful look on his face while rubbing his temples.

"Jack is more ballsy after you left, Mr. Ward. I am getting more and more confused about the situation. Should I help him or not?"

He played with his phone, while tapping gently on the desktop.

There is no other sound except the sound of fingertips tapping on the desktop.

In the end, Aiden smiled, and he looked firmer.

Jack had been busy until six o'clock in the afternoon.

He wrapped things up and left the company.

He first drove to EnRich building materials company and returned the car to Amber.

He did not tell Amber about the dinner.

He briefly talked about what happened on the construction site. After reassuring her a little, he left.

He took a taxi and head to Tyson Hotel alone.

The night gradually descended...☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
