All the people present changed their face expressions.
Felix’s expression was certain, and veins at the corners of his eyes were obvious.
“You dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Jack joked, domineering.
In an instant.
In the courtyard, swords were drawn.
The smell of war was strong.
Mr. Ward and Brent wanted to dissuade them, but both knew that things had reached the point where they were irreversible.
This had been the case since the moment they started fighting with Madame Hughes.
And the appearance of Felix, as Jack said, was simply to step into Jack’s position, and Jack’s doing this now was to break Felix’s wishful thinking.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.
Madame Hughes lowered her head, trembling with laughter.
She attracted everyone to watch her in astonishment.
Suddenly, Madame Hughes looked up, “Felix, I wrongly blamed you back then and didn’t give you the status of the heir. If you kill this bastard today, you can take his status!”
“Madame Hughes!”
As soon as she said that, Mr. Ward and Brent stopped her at the same time.
This was like trying to induce Felix to kill Jack for the benefit of the heir’s status!
And no one among the younger generation of Hughes family could refuse such a huge benefit.
“Thank you, grandma!”
Felix smiled happily, the index finger of his right hand was already on the trigger of the pistol.
Jack had guessed his thoughts which was making him a little flustered.
But now Madame Hughes’ promises was just right for him!
Felix used to be really unruly, but he still dreamed of being the heir.
Living a life with beauties, holding the power of the world!
This was what every man longed for.
As a Hughes, as long as he could become the head of the family, he could realize his dream.
However, because of his character back in the time, he missed his chance of being nominated and was sent to the West to join the army.
Now that he returned to his hometown, he ran into Jack wanting to kill Madame Hughes, it was such a terrible incidence, but Felix saw an opportunity to “change his fate”.
He believed that with his merits, he had enough strength to compete for the head of the family, and his heir status was his qualification!
“Mr. Ward, Brent, you two, one is the old servant of the Hughes family, the other is the bodyguard of the Hughes family, you eat the food of my family, have we raised a dog, now that you are still here with this bastard fighting your master?”
Madame Hughes had a stern voice, and Mr. Ward and Brent’s faces changed drastically, but they were silent.
The next second.
Madame Hughes said again, “He is just a bastard, if he wants to kill me, then he should die, even if… you are Patrick’s child!”
“Then, let’s take a bet!”
Jack was not afraid, holding the handle of the long sword in his right hand, he was making a faint creaking sound.
Time seemed to freeze.
The air was even more suffocating.
It was as if an invisible big hand was severely strangling everyone’s throat.
They were as if frozen.
Killian subconsciously pulled Madame Hughes a step backwards while stepping forward himself.
This could be considered as protection.
He missed the opportunity to protect Madam Hughes just now, but he would have to get the second at least.
“Felix! Shoot him!”
Madame Hughes spoke sharply, her old face covered in ferociousness, she looked like a mad beast.
“Young Master!”
Almost at the same time, Mr. Ward and Brent rushed towards to Jack.
“Prepare yourself, this time, I actually will use you to take the position!”
Felix’s eyebrows were tightened, and his right hand was slowly pressing down. He didn’t mind killing. After three years in the army in the West, his hands have already been stained with the blood of their enemies.
Why bother about some more blood of the Hughes family’s bastard?
However.
“The head of the family is here!”
Outside the house, there was a sudden shout.
It was like a loud thunder.
It let everything in the house stop instantly.
Boom!
Without Madame Hughes’ approval, the gate of the house was kicked open.
All eyes followed the sound.
Expectation and worry laid in Jack’s eyes.
Madame Hughes looked stunned, her eyes were dark.
Killian and Felix showed fear at the same time.
“The old Master is here, the old Master is finally here!”
Mr. Ward was excited and ecstatic, his face flushed, and his right hand held tightly onto Brent who was equally excited.
Only the master could save Jack now!
As the door was pushed open.
Patrick’s indifferent face first appeared in the eyes of everyone.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes flashing, and he directly stared at Madame Hughes.
Behind him, Daisy pushed the wheelchair and walked slowly.
There were more than a dozen Hughes family members following them.
The atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, and he had a sense of weakness, but Patrick also exuded panic and coercion, which made people scared.
“Did Daisy find Dad?”
When Jack saw Daisy, he understood immediately and glanced at Mr. Ward and Brent subconsciously. It seemed that leaving Daisy alone outside the courtyard was the right decision.
“Patrick, this is my house. You broke in directly. Where are you manners?”
Madame Hughes took the lead.
“Broken in?”
Patrick raised the corners of his mouth to a smile, “Madame Hughes, you are joking, in the Hughes family, I am the head. There is no place that I cannot enter. Do you think that just because I respect you, you can really regard this house as your own forbidden area?”
“You…” Madame Hughes’ face changed drastically while she gritted her teeth.
Patrick raised his hand and interrupted, “Please calmed down, I just heard that your house is very lively, so I came over to take a look.”
“Bitch, you dare to break in my property and make trouble!”
Madame Hughes gritted her teeth and glared at Daisy.
Daisy’s expression changed slightly, she looked a little horrified.
“What are you afraid of? What wrong with you inviting me to watch the show?”
Patrick raised his head and smiled to calm Daisy, then he looked at the crowd and shrugged casually, “I’m just watching the show, you should continue.”
Continue?!
Madame Hughes, Felix and Killian panicked at the same time.
They were going to kill your son. How could they continue in the presence of the father?
Especially Felix.
When Patrick entered the yard, he was pointing a gun at Jack.
Unless Patrick was blind, it was impossible not to see this scene.
For an instant, Felix was in a daze and his fear grew.
The gun in his hand also slowly lowered down.
“Felix, what are you doing with your gun down?”
Patrick jokingly smiled, “Weren’t you going to shoot my son? Please do continue.”
Puff!
Felix was so scared that he knelt on the ground as if he was struck by lightning, and hurriedly explained, “old master, please let me explain!”
“Explain what? A good man of the Hughes family, the man of service returned home in glory, what is there to explain?” Patrick raised an eyebrow and looked at Madame Hughes, “Madame, Am I right?”
“Patrick, you are bullying me because I am old and weak!”
How could Madame Hughes not hear Patrick’s strange undertone in his voice, she gritted her teeth and pointed at Jack, “You are injured, I will help you to take care of the Hughes family for you. Your bastard son entered the door and he crippled Killian and injured George. I asked him to come here just to solve this problem, but this beast actually wanted to kill me, so do you still want to protect him?”
“Oh?!”
Patrick let out a surprise.
Then he looked at Jack.
Jack lowered the long sword in his hand and met Madame Hughes’s gaze without flinching.
“I just came to visit my father. When I first arrived at the archway of the Hughes Mansion, George drove me away because I am a bastard. Should I take this humiliation?”
“In the Green Corridor, thousands of ordinary people and domestic servants were present. Killian called me bastard and threatened to kill me. Shouldn’t I take action?”
“In this yard you dare to turn things around and want to use power to crush me, you want to cripple me, and take away my heir’s status. Why should I take that?”
Three questions pierced right into her heart.
They made Madame Hughes and Killian’s face change drastically.
Jack was magnificent, watching everything.
“You all regard me as Jack the bastard, weak and deceptive, anyone could kick me, but you don’t know that Buddha also has a limit to his patience. If I don’t resist, wouldn’t I have to leave the Hughes family dead?”
“You, you are so arrogant, you should be killed, you should be killed!”
Madame Hughes was flustered by the questioning, and pointed at Jack as if she was going crazy.
“It should be killed! It should be killed!”
Patrick suddenly reacted loudly, making Madame Hughes startled.
Immediately, Patrick’s face was frosty and his killing intent was raging.
“You actually dared to insult my son like this, you should really be the one to be killed!”
