Winner Takes All

Save my son?

Patrick was stunned.

The bitch thought I tried to Jack by issuing the "Head Doctor Summoning Order"?

Patrick sneered coldly, "It's none of your business!"

"Good, that's enough!"

Madam Hughes turned angrily and walked out with cane.

Just as she turned around, the raging anger on her face disappeared and there was a smile appeared on her wrinkled face.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

At the door, Carter Hughes waited patiently.

Seeing Madam Hughes came out, he was about to ask her something.

Madam Hughes yelled at him, "Little bastard, come with me!"

Carter was freaked out after heard that so he shut up and left with Madam Hughes.

Patrick sat on the chair and watched Madam Hughes and Carter's back. After a long time, he whispered, "She wasn't sure about the situation but came to me immediately. Why was she so anxious this time?" At Madam Hughes's residence.

The chanting of Buddhist sutras echoed in the Buddha hall.

Madam Hughes believed in Buddhism. Even if she did not chant sutras, she still played recorded sutras to make the atmosphere solemn.

After returning to their residence, Madam Hughes and Carter went straight into the Buddha hall.

"Carter, close the door!"

As soon as she entered the Buddha hall, Madam Hughes couldn't hide her excitement.

Carter was confused and went to close the door.

When he turned back, he found that Madam Hughes knelt on the futon, made a bow with her hands folded in front to the figure of Buddha. Madam Hughes was thrilled, bowed to worship the Buddha, and then kowtowed three times at the gold Buddha statue.

Even though it was still too early to do the kowtow.

After solemnly bowing, Madam Hughes straightened up with full of excitement all over her face and her couldn't help herself from laughing. "Mom, what's going on?" Carter asked.

Madam Hughes smiled and said, "He did it! George finally met up our expectations, he made it!"

Boom!

Carter's body took a tremble and his eyes widely opened.

Less than a second.

He was ravished with joy just as similar as Madam Hughes.

"Really, you mean it?"

Even if the words were spoken by Madam Hughes, Carter still felt like he was dreaming.

Happiness came way too faster than he expected.

It was so fast that people couldn't believe it was real.

"Yes, it is true!"

Madam Hughes said deeply, "Patrick admitted personally that he issued Head Doctor Summoning Order was for Jack. Think about it, if it wasn't because George pulled it through, why Patrick bother to send the command?"

"Yes you are right, he wouldn't do it if nothing too major!"

Carter shook his head.

The cost of a "Head Doctor Summoning Order" was tremendous!

Whenever it was released, the Hughes family owed each one of them a favor as long as Head Doctor presented.

With such a huge price, if it was not for the essential person of the Hughes family, no one would take a risk to do that. "Huh...huh..."

With excitement, Carter took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

With an ecstatic smile on his face, he bowed to Madam Hughes and said, "Congratulations, Mom, we finally got rid of that bastard this time!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Madam Hughes's face turned to red. At this moment, it seemed she could finally be relaxed and she even seemed to be a little younger than her actual age. She knelt on the futon, looking at the gold Buddha statue, and said emotionally, "Since Jack showed up, I couldn't sleep well every night. Now we were blessed as George finally killed him. Now we could be relaxed for rest of our lives."

Her confession echoed in the Buddha hall.

At this moment, neither Madam Hughes nor Carter thought about double checking the truth.

Because they thought it was unnecessary.

They got what they wanted the most from Patrick and the "Head Doctor Summoning Order".

What was the point of investigating it in detail?

More investigations seemed redundant and suspicious!

"We should celebrate this!"

Madam Hughes said happily, "Come on, go and call Killian to come over. We should make a toast and hope George rest in peace."

Carter wouldn't against celebration.

But looking at the sky outside, he hesitated and said, "Mom, it's in the early morning and it's not even dawn. Drinking at this time is not good for your health." "Nonsense! We should celebrate this by drinking. It is good for my body, it is!" Madam Hughes rolled her eyes, but then she couldn't help laughing again. Carter also laughed and stopped talking. He turned and walked out of the Buddha hall.

Drinking at this time was indeed bad for Madam Hughes's health.

But it was acceptable to indulge occasionally in such a happy event.

Soon, Killian also came in to share their happiness.

Even though Killian always stayed rational but with Cater walked into the Buddha hall holding a bottle of wine, his face couldn't hide the ecstatic smile. He didn't know how everything turned out.

As soon as he heard the news, he immediately asked Ivy to send a message to George with a new number, to pretend it was sent by Madam Hughes.

In fact, Killian took a risk, he bet that George was still alive. He only wanted to show brotherhood to him.

If George came back alive, he would continue to bet on whether George could deceive everyone.

If George was dead and couldn't come back, he was considered to have done his responsibilities as a brother.

But now, knowing that Jack was killed from Madam Hughes and Carter made Killian extremely excited and ecstatic. Because...this was the core part that mattered whether he could become the head of the Hughes Family!

Jack was an obstacle in his path to the head of the Hughes Family.

If Jack was still alive, Killian barely had the chance of becoming the head of the Hughes Family.

Once Jack was died, with Madam Hughes's support, he had a good chances of becoming the head of the Hughes Family!

As soon as Killian entered the Buddha hall, Madam Hughes immediately looked sad and wailed, "My dearly grandson Killian, this incident is a great celebration for us, but it is great compassion for George." She was weeping bitterly and heartbroken.

Carter, on the side, holding a cup, was looking at them silently.

Killian rushed forward and knelt in front of Madam Hughes, held her arms and said, "Grandma, it's ok. Just like you said, George helped me and I owed him a lot."

"Yeah, George even sacrificed himself to remove the bad guy for you, we were so lucky to have him in our lives!"

Madam Hughes nodded painfully, pretended to wipe some tears and said, "Killian, you George's brother, when you become to the head of the Hughes Family, you must put George's memorial tablet in Hughes ancestral hall."

When Killian heard "the head of the Hughes Family", he suddenly had all the vigour and radiance on his face.

He nodded hard, "Definitely, grandmother."

Madam Hughes waved to Carter.

Carter understood with no time and poured three cups of wine.

Madam Hughes toasted and said, "This cup, in order to celebrate as well as to mourn the George."

After she said, she poured the wine on the ground.

Carter and Killian followed and did the same thing.

When they refilled the wine, the smiles back on their faces.

After mourning, it would be celebration time.

Their laughing mixed with the chanting echoed in the Buddha Hall till dawn.000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
