Winner Takes All

Patrick's voice was echoing in the room.

It was a unusual calm voice, but it was carrying a dominance, causing nobody being able to reply to it.

This kind of aura, only the head of Hughes family could spread out.

Madam Hughes looked pale in her face, her tiny body was trembling, and her teeth were clenched.

Patrick was the head of his family, but he was Madam Hughes junior.

As a junior, to contradict her as a senior, showed no respect.

This kind of behavior was forcing Madam Hughes into a corner, and left her with no face.

Mr. Ward and Brent were admiring him for that, with red eyes, they were staring towards the shadow behind the bamboo shoots.

Patrick’s words were clearly stating to save Jack.

Even Minister Mable was surprised.

As was Jack.

He suddenly felt tears coming up.

The father he had never met, was he really so fierce?

"Patrick, even though you are the head of this family, how do you dare to speak to me like that?"

Madam Hughes spoke with her teeth bitten, "Where are your Hughes' manners?"

"What do you want to tell me?" Patrick's voice was suddenly carrying a slight banter.

"He is a bastard child, and he talked back to me, he was acting unfilial, and you as the head of this family, are not acting according to our rules, instead, you are taking him under your wings, where is your obedience?"

Madam Hughes suddenly pointed towards Jack, her momentum was growing again.

In the Hughes family, there were strict family rules, and being filial was one of the most important ones.

This was one of the reasons why the Hughes family could exist in this hidden world without being taken down, instead, they had held the place high above the clouds overlooking the others.

"How was he disobedient? If it wasn't for you pushing him so hard, why would my son talk back to you? He came here to you with a wound that he opened himself again, to ask for your forgiveness, you as his ancestor, what did you do?"

Patrick's voice suddenly deepened.

Madam Hughes eyes were widened and glowing, she threw a gaze towards Minister Mable.

He paused, and hurriedly looked down.

In the room, the air stood still.

The smell of gun powder was getting thicker.

Jack didn't say anything, he knew that this situation was now between his father and Madam Hughes to be solved.

But then, what Madam Hughes said next, suddenly made Jack's heart ache.
