Chapter 807
Felicity didn't want to expose Jack's hypocrisy.
She went around him and headed downstairs.
In the hall, on a huge screen, there was a live broadcast of this grand occasion in the financial world. The two elders sat on the sofa with concentration as they watched the progress of this event.
"Felicity, you know about this as well, right?" the old lady asked when she saw her coming down the stairs.
"I'm watching it too!" Felicity replied softly.
"Don't worry, I believe my grandson will be able to handle this." The old lady was afraid that she wasn't experienced enough and wouldn't experience much, so she was afraid and worried. Thus, she tried to comfort her.
Felicity smiled lightly, "Thank you, Grandma. I trust him too."
After pouring a cup of water, Felicity headed upstairs, but at the same time, Jack changed into a new jacket and went downstairs. The two met again at the stairs, and when Felicity went to the left side, he accidentally moved to the left side, which made Felicity move to the right side and play with him, causing Felicity to frown.
"I'm sorry, but you should go up first!" However, Jack immediately expressed that he did not do it on purpose, and quickly stepped aside to let her pass.
Felicity said a few blank words of thanks before she quickly walked up, but in her heart she still felt that Jack was deliberately toying with her.
In fact, Jack did it on purpose, in order to attract Felicity's attention.
However, he still underestimated Felicity's cold attitude, to the point that she did not even look him in the eye.
This was the worst battle in Jack's entire history of relationships, and it gave him an inexplicable sense of defeat.
He did not expect that his charm in the heart of women would be reduced to this extent. It looks like the disparity between him and Edward, had once again surfaced on Felicity's body.
Impossible, could it be that Felicity has her eyes on Edward's rich and powerful family property?
So she wasn't interested in him at all?
If it was really because of the amount of money, Jack could only resign himself to his fate and shake his head.
Indeed, he was not as rich as Edward, but this was merely for now, so when Father helped him get Hughes Group back, his wealth would definitely surpass Edward's. At that time, even if Felicity kneeled in front of him and begged him, he would not give her another chance.
The sense of defeat caused Jack's emotions to become somewhat tormented.
"Jack, are you going out?" When the old lady saw him carrying a car key downstairs, she immediately called out to him and asked.
Jack nodded his head, "Yes, I have made some appointments with friends to have lunch together!"
"What friend? Is there a woman?" The old lady was more concerned with her grandson's feelings now.
Jack immediately said smilingly, "Grandma, are you urging me to find a girlfriend again? Alright, I'll go and have a look. If there really is a suitable one, I'll definitely bring her to you for your purpose."
The old grandpa lectured him on the side, "Don't play with a woman's feelings. There's nothing to gain from getting into these affairs."
Jack immediately tried to clarify himself, "Grandfather, how did you know that I was crazy? So far, I haven't had a single serious relationship. Don't worry, I'll follow you. I'II definitely be very dedicated."
When the old lady heard her grandson actually teasing them, she immediately laughed, "Don't be like your grandpa, he is just too stubborn. Girls don't like his personality."
The old man turned to look at the old lady.
Although they were old husband and wife, he couldn't hide the trace of affection in his eyes for the old lady. "Don't speak nonsense. Edward is just like me, isn't there a bunch of girls who like him?"
The old lady covered her mouth and laughed. "You're right. I like it too. Otherwise, why would I marry you?"
Only then did the old man feel at ease. Jack was a little jealous, which made him feel even more depressed.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm going out!" Jack greeted her and then left the room. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
He drove the car out of Hughes Family's villa and stopped by the roadside. Then, he took out his phone and dialled a number.
The reason he called this number was to call his father, John Hughes.
"Daddy, I think Edward is very confident this time. Will we be exposed?"
Jack was still worried that this matter would affect their chances of seizing power.
"Don't worry, those old fellows have a sharp tongue. They still don't have the guts to betray me." John was very confident too, these few old people were previously taught by him, they had been under his care for many years, and he had supported them with a lot of information. Therefore, John believed that even if these old people were to be imprisoned, for the sake of their family's health, they would not dare to wrongly accuse him.
"Alright then. If you are confident, then I am relieved." Jack also believed that his father wasn't that stupid to make himself fall into defeat so quickly. His meticulous plans for the past five years had only just begun.
"How are you doing at home? Are Grandpa and grandma alright?" John indifferently asked him. Towards his elderly parents, no matter how cruel and unscrupulous John was, he still cared about them
a lot. After all, he would never be able to part with his family.
Jack nodded and replied, "Grandmother's health is still fine, grandpa's health isn't very good. There will always be a doctor coming to his house to check on him, Daddy, find an opportunity to come back and see them. I feel that they have already forgiven you."
John remained silent at the other end of the phone, and only said after a long while, "We'll see. I don't have the face to meet them, I have already disappointed them."
Jack knew his father's internal struggle. It was because he was not willing to give up his power and authority, therefore, the things that he would do next would probably hurt his grandfather and grandmother's more.
"Alright, I will be back in a few days!" Jack did not try to persuade him again.
Just then, the phone was immediately taken over by Jane Hughes.
"Big Brother, everything in the country is fine, right?" Jane asked with a smile in her voice.
"It's not bad, it's been a long time since I've returned. Everything in the country is still fresh for me!" Jack and his sister spoke with a much more relaxed tone.
"Then, did you see Felicity? How is she?" What Jane was more concerned about was his opinion of Felicity.
"I'd like to conquer her!" Jack immediately replied.
Jane's expression became happy and she immediately encouraged him, "Big Brother, I believe you can definitely destroy their relationship. You have to work hard, for my sake."
"I will!" Jack nodded with absolute certainty.
"Big Brother, you must be careful. Edward is definitely on guard against you, don't let him catch any of your weakness." Jane reminded him repeatedly.
"Don't worry, my return this time was purely for fun. If he wants to catch a hold of me, he won't be able to." Jack said confidently.
