Winner Takes All -
Chapter 483 Wait?! It is Almost There!
At the villa of the Knight family.
As soon as Amber got off the car, she ran back to her bedroom with a crying face and locked the door of the room.
Mr. Ward showed an unhappy face as he slowly walked into the villa with a heavy body.
"Did I do a good thing or a bad thing?"
He hesitated.
He brought Amber to meet Jack as Amber had missed Jack a lot.
However, they saw the scene at SH guildhall.
Originally, they had a misunderstanding. The explanation he had made to Amber when he came to find her had slowly made her relieved.
However, the scene at SH guildhall was like a bolt from the blue for Amber. It was like lightning had struck Amber.
Yet, Mr. Ward probably understood why Jack did that at that time.
It was because he did not want to expose Amber in the daytime and attract those forces to assassinate Amber. Therefore, Jack made a choice in a very short time.
He used the 'misunderstanding' to make Amber leave angrily.
Slap!
Mr. Ward slapped himself without mercy.
"I have made a trouble!"
In the villa.
Steve Knight and Rosie were worried and they looked anxious.
They were shocked by Amber's reaction just now.
Amber didn't even greet them. She directly ran upstairs and even locked the door of her room.
When they saw Mr. Ward walk in.
They hurriedly walked towards him.
"Mr. Ward, what happened? Amber was smiling happily when she went out. How did she come back with such a crying face?" "Yeah, Mr. Ward. Just now Amber ran in while crying and ignored us. She went upstairs and directly locked the door of her room."
Mr. Ward almost went crazy when he thought of the incident that happened just now.
Looking at the anxious and worried Steve and Rosie, he still suppressed his irritated feeling, sighed, and said.
"I brought Mrs. Hughes to meet young master.”
Boom!
Steve and Rosie were stunned at the same time.
"Did you find Jack? Where is he now?" Rosie asked quickly.
"I can't say it now. Young master is now at a place that is considered pretty safe."
Mr. Ward waved his hand and he looked at Steve and Rosie in guilt, "However, I had done a bad thing although I had good intentions this time. At that time, I had only considered that Mrs. Hughes wanted to meet up with young master. However, what I didn't expect was that given the current situation, young master would never want to meet Mrs. Hughes. Therefore, something happened just now that had made Mrs. Hughes behave like this."
Mr. Ward explained patiently, "Young master had made an impulsive move to stop Mrs. Hughes from meeting him. That was why Mrs. Hughes came back angrily."
"Jack didn't want to meet Amber?"
Rosie was completely stunned as she was a little confused.
Yet, Steve had understood the main point of what Mr. Ward had said.
He raised his hand to stop Rosie who wanted to ask more questions and said with a deep voice, "In this current situation, Jack is indeed not suitable to meet Amber."
Seeing Rosie's confused look, Steve explained patiently, "Now we don't even know the forces that wanted to kill Jack. The enemy is hiding in the dark while we are an easy target out there. If it has been a stalemate for some time, then we could still slowly make some progress. However, if Amber meets with Jack, it will cause Amber and our family to be in a dangerous situation that Jack has already been." "But they can even block the road to kill people. They must have investigated the relationship between Jack and us." Rosie said.
Steve shook his head, "Those people have been planning to kill Jack and this matter is terrifying. Their target is Jack and they wouldn't pay attention to us for now. They are in an urgent and desperate situation as they didn't manage to kill Jack. However, if Amber and Jack stay together, they might change the target from Jack to us."
Rosie showed a look as if she had clearly understood the situation.
She wanted to say something but she did not. She looked upstairs, "Then what should we do now?"
Steve looked at Mr. Ward, "Mr. Ward, what kind of impulsive move that Jack had done to hurt Amber?"
Mr. Ward's face looked serious and turned pale as he said vaguely, "He pulled a girl and kissed her in front of Mrs. Hughes." Upon hearing the words.
Steve and Rosie were extremely furious as they showed a fierce look in their eyes.
'Didn't he just take a knife to cut Amber's heart?'
Rosie was about to get furious at the moment.
Yet, Steve said with a deep voice, "Dear, please go up and comfort Amber."
"You..." Rosie was shocked.
"For now, we will believe what Mr. Ward had said just now. When Jack comes back safely, I, as a father, will definitely settle all these matters with him."
Steve said with a deep voice, "You know Amber's character. She will not care anything if she wants to do something. The last time when she wanted to stay with Jack, we couldn't stop her, right? I think Jack knows Amber's character so he made such an extreme move."
Steve didn't have a character that was as calm as Rosie on normal days. Now, it was rare that he was being considerate.
Yet, he looked at Mr. Ward coldly at the end.
"I also hope that Mr. Ward didn't lie. We, the Knight family, had stood out to help Jack. I hope that Jack is a person who is worth helping. Otherwise, I, Steve Knight, would not let my daughter suffer from those bullies even if I have to risk everything for it!"
"I swear with my life." Mr. Ward was not angry as he said seriously.
After waiting for Rosie to walk upstairs.
Mr. Ward broke the silence again.
"Let us strengthen the security of the villa."
Mr. Ward said with a deep voice, "Although young master had pissed Mrs. Hughes off today, Mrs. Hughes was indeed overreacting at that time and I didn't stop her in time. It was pretty obvious at that time and I am afraid that those people would make some moves as they are desperate and anxious now."
"It shouldn't be that fast, right?"
Steve was dubious about it.
Mr. Ward shook his head, "Those people had already done everything they could but they didn't even hurt young master. Do you think that it is too fast?"
Although he had done a bad thing for bringing Amber to see Jack.
Mr. Ward still remembered the scene at SH guildhall.
'It was crowded with people and the security of SH guildhall was tight.'
'Even SH guildhall was bombed. That meant that force could do anything by fair means or foul.'
'They had already done it at all cost to bomb the place even though they would result in Grand Freemasons be their enemy.'
'They didn't even manage to kill young master.'
'They were definitely extremely anxious and they were very close to desperation.'
Upon hearing that.
Steve nodded with a serious face, "I will get it done tonight. However, Mr. Ward, what are you going to do?"
"Wait!"
Mr. Ward said a word and it made Steve clueless suddenly.
Mr. Ward rubbed his hands, "If I didn't find young master, I have to beat my brain to find a way. Now, I have confirmed that young master is in a safe place, then I could just sit at ease. Now, I only need time and an opportunity."
Looking at Mr. Ward's convinced look, Steve felt slightly relieved in his heart.
After a while, he asked again, "Is there any news from Patrick now?"
Steve was clear that why there were so many bad people targeting Jack. The reason was that Patrick Hughes had disappeared.
When Patrick was around, with his identity of being the head of the Hughes family, no one had dared to step out of line.
Those who stepped out of line had eventually paid the price.
Like the Burton family from the capital city and the Quinn family from X City.
However, without Patrick's presence and power, Jack had lost his only protection. The danger he would face couldn't even be borne by the Knight family.
Besides waiting for the return of Patrick, Steve really felt that there was nothing he could do.
Mr. Ward rubbed his jaw and said meaningfully, "It will be soon."[
