Winner Takes All

Feeling the gaze of Mr. Ward and the others, Amber Knight looked suffocated.

In the restaurant, there was an embarrassing and tense atmosphere.

Mr. Ward, Brent and Daisy Hill all looked puzzled.

Brent and Daisy felt a bit sympathetic for Vinna Vaughn.

Mr. Ward, as the elder one, had experienced too much in his life and could speak calmly.

But Amber's calm made all the three shiver for a while.

It must be known that... Yael Quinn fell into a vegetative state because of saving Amber, and Vinna's current state was provoked by the fact of taking care of Yael.

As a directly involved person, it was absolutely unreasonable that Amber could keep so calm.

And more importantly, since Yael's accident, Vinna took care of Yael. Mr. Ward, Brent and Daisy all paid attention to that chain of events.

From beginning to end, Amber had always felt guilty and her caring for Yael and Vinna was beyond all the people.

And now...that sentence suddenly made the three of them feel dazed.

"Did I...say something wrong?" Amber asked, murmuring slowly.

Her voice was very low, as if she was weakened.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The Mysterious Man coughed twice, and caught the attention of Mr. Ward and the others. "Actually, what she meant was that don't look back at the past but look forward at the future. The Bloody Trap already passed. Now we have to try to keep the situation under control after Jack has gone and move on."

Hearing those words, Mr. Ward, Brent and Daisy looked a little more relaxed.

Mr. Ward said calmly, "In DT real estate agency, everything is in good order, with me and Lyndall Long, together with Aiden Lott and Drago Chou, there will not be any obstacle."

"Also the entertainment company of Ciara Wattson in the capital city is doing well and, based in the capital city, with all the resources of the Vaughn and Wattson family, there is no need for me to worry about," Daisy added.

Since Jack's departure, in order to push for a greater stability, Mr. Ward decisively distributed Jack's three most profitable companies to the three individuals.

He headed Jack's cornerstone business DT Company. He managed the real estate agency with Lyndall and both had great ambitions.

Daisy was responsible of the joint venture established with the entertainment company established by Ciara in the capital city.

As for the Quinn Family, Brent was in charge of everything.

Only when every person would be put in the right place using the strongest force and determination, Mr. Ward would be sure to be able to handle every unforeseen event without losing his head and deal it with calm and composure.

When they finished speaking, Mr. Ward and Daisy both looked at Brent.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

The Mysterious Man and Amber also stared at Brent.

Anyway, no one realized that Amber was looking at Brent with a softened expression.

Brent thought for a moment, and then said, "After the Young Master left, I sent Lone Wolf to the Quinn Family to look after Amelia. After the strong intervention of the Young Master, the Quinn Family looked stable now, but recently, I realized from the feedback of Lone Wolf and Amelia that there might be a new situation."

"What's about?"

Mr. Ward asked frowning, "Is it possible that after Lyndall is not taking charge of the Quinn Family, Amelia is still unable to suppress it with Lone Wolf's help?"

"It's hard to say. There was some uncertainty in the feedback I got from Lone Wolf and Amelia.”

Brent shook his head, "It seems that the departure of the Young Master made the naive and simple-minded members of the Quinn Family see again a glimmer of illusory hope."

"Oh, really? These bastards!"

Mr. Ward looked sullen and sneered, "Amelia's character is quite soft, and Lone Wolf's ability is not enough. Without the resolute suppression of Lyndall and with the absence of the Young Master, do they really still think they can relax and do whatever they want?"

As he spoke, Mr. Ward's expression grew cold.

As if he exuded a chill in the air from his body, he made the atmosphere inside the dinning room extremely freezing and tense.

The Mysterious Man said calmly, "We should deal with this on time. Last time Jack massacred the people of the Quinn Family. If they dare to do something again, we are going to break their bones again." "Don't you think it's a bit despotic?" Daisy asked.

After all, she was a woman and she was more mindful. "There are nothing than doubts about the feedback Brent got from Amelia and Lone Wolf."

Mr. Ward shook his head and said coldly, "An exceptional situation requires an exceptional solution. After the Young Master left, the Bloody Trap disappeared, but the Young Master still has to contend to become the head of the Hughes Family. With his departure, these last two and a half months, if we cannot preserve his reputation in the Hughes Family, there would be some unexpected consequences. Despotic or not, it doesn't matter!"

His voice was cold and harsh, and it hid a killing intent.

For a moment, Daisy and Brent were a little fearful about Mr. Ward's decision.

The hidden meaning of his words was like 'It's better to kill everybody involved than miss just one of them'.

As the topic unfolded, Mr. Ward, Brent and Daisy didn't focus their attention on Amber, and even seemed to completely ignore the calm expression of Amber.

"Swoosh..." Mr. Ward slowly let out a sigh and stared suddenly at Amber, "Mrs. Hughes."

That voice made Amber look flustered for a moment.

But she kept calm again instantly.

"Mr. Ward, what's wrong?" Amber asked.

Mr. Ward said coldly, "I would like to ask Mrs. Hughes to go with me to the Quinn Family the next period of time and make them see who their Master is!"

"Me, me?" Amber was a bit nervous.

"You are Mrs. Hughes. Now that the Young Master has gone, you are the head of the family. It's time to show off your status of Young Master's wife and make the Quinn Family of the X City worship you." Mr. Ward didn't feel Amber's mood was abnormal and said slowly, "That's called...deterrence!"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Ward."

Amber lowered her head, her eyes were suffused with light and gradually became fervent at that time.

The Quinn Family in the X City...used to be the wealthiest one in the X City!

In the past, Shirley Lynn was irrelevant for the Quinn Family in the X City.

Who would have thought that one day, Shirley could go to the home of the wealthiest family of the X City, take up her identity and enjoy the worship of all the members of the wealthiest family in the X City? That glory...was given to me by that privilege of the face of Amber!

Subconsciously, Amber slowly raised her slender hand and stroke gently her face.

Her eyes gradually blurred, with fervency....

The breakfast was soon over because of the Quinn Family affair.

Mr. Ward went to the DT Company as usual.

Brent and Daisy went to buy food to prepare the lunch.

With the departure of Jack, it was as if all of them had lost their pillar, and after they had dealt with their jobs of companies they were responsible for, their life was quite flat.

In the dining room, Amber and the Mysterious Man didn't move.

They were sitting at the table.

The atmosphere was stifling and the minutes ticked by.

At that moment, for Amber, seeing the sullen eyes of the Mysterious Man made her be on tenterhooks and feel nervous and uneasy.

Every second was full of anxiety and nervousness.

Finally, the Mysterious Man stood up.

Amber, who was sitting at the main seat of the able, shivered.

She didn't dare to look up, but stared at the ground terrified.

In the line of sight, a pair of feet appeared in front of her.

"Raise your head," the Mysterious Man said with a husky and low voice.

Amber bit her lips in panic, she didn't dare to resist and slowly raised her head.

Slap! A neat and sharp slap fell directly on Amber's face.

"Do you know you almost ruined everything? Who did you think you were when you spoke in such a calm tone?"

Feeling a burning pain on her face, Amber bit her lips, her eyes filled with tears, and didn't dare to refute.

Because she knew that she had said something wrong.

And the Mysterious Man, who was in front of her, was that one who gave her everything, he was ...the master!

The Mysterious Man could give her everything, but he could also take back everything.

And yet, all of sudden.

Boom!

A sudden noise immediately sounded from the upstairs of the villa.

Hearing that sound, the expression of the Mysterious Man immediately changed greatly, and Amber turned pale.

There was only a person upstairs...Vinna!

Was she...been Exposed?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
