When he heard this laughter.
Jack was completely confused and speechless.
He stared at Kerry, his thoughts going around.
After going through his twenty-odd years of experience in reading people, he was sure that Kerry’s smile at him was indeed gentle and not hostile.
But… this was frigging strange!
‘On the surface, I was the one who killed your family member, even if it was planned by someone, but you don’t know that I have been in a trap!’
‘I killed your family member, and you are smiling happily at me?’
“This son is extraordinary, and he is handsome. Before coming here, I did some investigations. This son is strong as the tiger yet he is still a considerate boy.”
Kerry smiled kindly, and looked Jack from up to down. But his words of appreciation were for Patrick.
Kerry couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed when his eyes focused on Jack’s legs.
“Oh no, no. You are making fun of us, he is just a scumbag.” Patrick said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Patrick introduced Jack to the other two middle aged people one by one, Jack greeted them.
Although he didn’t know why this was happening.
It was completely different from what he was expecting, which could be called absurd.
But Jack was not stupid. Since the others were polite to him, if he still had a stern face and showed the bitter hatred, he would be making trouble for himself.
What’s more, there were still other Powell family members there.
And it all had something to do with that one person.
When they were about to introduce Hana.
Jack looked cold and stern, he interrupted Patrick’s introduction by raising his hand.
“Dad, I know her.”
“Oh? You know Hana?”
Patrick was slightly surprised. All his energy these days had been devoted to hosting the Powell family.
He even had no time to bother about the internal affairs in the Hughes family.
Leave alone caring about some things that were happening in the capital city.
As soon as the words were spoken, Kerry and the other two middle aged people were also a little surprised.
Jack smiled sternly, “The big star Hana Powell is also from the Powell family, we only met once, but she told me the truth.”
After hearing his words.
Kerry and the other two knitted their brows at the same time, revealing dissatisfaction.
Kerry squinted at Hana, “Hana, you wanted to be part of the entertainment industry and there was no one in our family to stop you, but I have also warned you to use a stage name. How can you reveal your identity to Jack if you only met him once? I am afraid that you didn’t think about me or the other ones of our family.”
His words were cold, expressing a cold majesty.
When Jack was speaking, Hana was already blushing and lowered her head nervously.
When she was asked by Kerry at this time, her delicate body started trembling immediately, she said in fear, “I, I was wrong, master Kerry.”
“Humph!”
Kerry let out a cold snort, making Hana turn pale with fright.
Jack looked at this scene, and sneered again and again in his heart.
But he was silent, his cold eyes always fixed on Hana.
And Patrick, who sat high on the family head throne, also looked at Jack deeply, thoughtfully.
At this time, Kerry’s expression returned normal, and he clasped his fists and said to Patrick, “Mister Hughes, now that Jack is here, it’s time to start.”
When he heard the words.
Jack and Mr. Ward looked serious.
What had to come, would come around!
The smiling face of the Powell family members in front of him was so beautiful that Jack had no sense of absurdity at this time.
A matter of life was really not something that could be easily erased with a smiling face!
Mr. Ward pushed Jack to the other side, facing the four Powell family members.
As the meeting room quieted down.
Jack could even feel the air becoming a little sticky and was breathing hard.
Except Hana, Kerry and the other two middle aged Powell family members carried a kind of coercion on them which made Jack extremely uncomfortable.
This kind of coercion far exceeded the ordinary wealthy family.
It originated from thousands of years ago, the prosperity, the accumulated majesty and self confidence, like a panic stricken mountain, could make people unattainable and back to shame in every gesture.
After a few seconds of silence.
Patrick suddenly smiled, “Okay, I won’t scare you anymore.”
Jack was startled immediately.
Mr. Ward was also dumbfounded.
The next second.
Patrick slowly said, “This matter will pass, and the Powell family will not investigate further.”
Boom!
It was like a thunder on a sunny day.
As Patrick’s voice echoed through the room.
Jack’s mind went blank for an instant, as if all the souls had gone out of his body, he was sitting in a wheelchair in a daze.
Just… like that… it was over?
A sense of hesitation, like a dream, swept across the sky.
No matter what, Jack wouldn’t have thought that a “natural disaster” of the Powell family’s member was was going to end so simple, as if nothing happened!
That was a life!
The life of a Powell family member!
The Powell family had been prosperous for thousands of years, and their mentality was relaxed. But wasn’t this a little too relaxed?
Even Mr. Ward, his face flushed and he was staring dumbfounded with wide eyes.
His hands placed on Jack’s wheelchair handle kept shaking.
He murmured, “It, it’s over? It’s all calmed… just like that?”
His voice was very soft, but it clearly got into the ears of everyone present.
Kerry laughed first.
Immediately afterwards, Patrick and the two middle aged people of the Powell family also laughed.
Only Hana, still with her head down, her pretty face flushed, glanced at Jack secretly from time to time.
She was in her thirties and had more than ten years of experience in the entertainment industry, but Hana showed the attitude like a young girl who had not been deeply involved with the world.
“The person who died was indeed a member of the Powell family, but he was already expelled from our family.”
Kerry looked at Jack, who was desperate, and explained with a smile, “I just don’t know how that person got our family ancestral identity token, this is why there was the misunderstanding today!”
Boom!
Just one sentence made Jack struck by lightning again.
Jack quickly regained focus in his eyes, he was staring at Kerry incredulously, “The person was expelled from the Powell family?!”
At this moment, the thoughts in his mind were once again restless and extremely complicated.
If it was someone who had been kicked out of the Powell family, then he was someone who had absolutely nothing to do with the Powell family!
Such a life, the Powell family would absolutely not bother about.
But that person got the Powell family token and came to set up a trap to kill me, and he was eventually killed by a mysterious person himself.
This was clearly a deliberate framing!
A big conspiracy that led the Powell family to bring natural disasters to me!
But… who was behind the scenes?
A mystery man?
“Wait! If that’s the case, how could it take so long?”
Mr. Ward couldn’t hold back anymore, he blurted out, his shock was no weaker than Jack’s.
The only difference from Jack was.
Jack was caught in mixed thoughts, and he was somewhat sane.
Patrick slowly said, “It took so long because the Powell family needed to be investigate. They have prospered for thousands of years, the Long Thriving Noble Family, do you think it’s an ordinary family, it would be easy to find out who died?”
Mr. Ward’s face flushed, he was speechless when Patrick asked him rhetorically.
Kerry explained slowly, “In fact, after we arrived at the Hughes family, we quickly sorted out the matter. We also wanted to use this time to investigate who wanted to cause the conspiracy, so it was taking so long. But considering Jack’s pressure, even if it wasn’t revealed, we would’ve had to show our cards first.”
After hearing the words.
Jack, who was frowning and thinking, suddenly had fierce in his eyes.
He suddenly raised his head and glared at Hana.
“Hana! You knew it all along?”
Jack gritted his teeth like a sullen lion, his words were sonorous and chilling, “As a woman, don’t you have any self respect? Don’t you know shame? Are you so shameless?”
