Chapter 105 Family Rule
Chapter 105 Family Rule
Soon after that.
Killian looked angry.
Katherine even left Killian furiously.
The night wind was slightly cold, but it was not on par with their rage.
But when Katherine glared angrily to the opposite side of the villa...
Jack and Mr. Ward Brent already left.
Katherine muttered as she cried out of shame.
It shouldn't be like that!
How could that be?
She kept thinking of the scene where Jack was humiliated and was supposed to be angry. She really
didn't think that Jack could say that sentence calmly!
The contempt from his tone made her fly into a rage out of humiliation instead!
“You should go down first.”
Killian sounded cold as he gazed to the terrace of the villa.
Katherine was dumbfounded as she nodded instead of talking back. She then obediently went
downstairs.
What Jack had said was heartbreaking for her.
She was really not in the mood to provoke Killian anymore.
After Katherine left, Killian slowly pushed the glasses on his pointed nose.
Under the yellow dim light, anger finally showed up on his calm face and he was giving out cold vibes.
“I wanted to trample your dignity with this and make you angry, but I never thought that you'd be so
calm. George deserved what you did to him.”
Killian sneered as he said that. He then rubbed his temples, turned around, and went downstairs.
While walking, Killian murmured, “That woman is useless now.”
Inside the villa.
Because Katherine's natter, Jack became fully sober.
Mr. Ward and Brent were anxious to see Jack’s calmness.
Brent couldn't hold it in any longer so he said, “Young Master, I can help you... I was also the one who
helped Killian improve his battle skills.”
It was too exaggerated and Killian went too far.
Why should he disgrace other's wife?
Brent knew Killian would seek revenge so he would definitely look for Jack... But humiliating Jack in
such way was really unexpected.
“Brent, you shouldn't act rashly!”
Mr. Ward cleared his throat and frowned when he said, “Young Master, you should calm down.”
“I know.”
Jack smiled, “Even if I don't know why he used so many evil ways, but he must have wanted to make
me angry to achieve his goal.”
Mr. Ward frowned as he lowered his head and pondered.
Jack's reaction was very surprising and Jack's words also reminded Brent of something.
Killian had meticulous mind and was extremely subtle... Using Katherine as Jack's ex-wife to humiliate
Jack was obviously too childish.
The Killian that Mr. Ward knew was very meticulous in everything.
All of the sudden, Mr. Ward trembled with an angry look on his eyes.
“Killian, what a ruthless scheme!”
“Huh?”
Both Jack and Brent looked towards Mr. Ward at the same time.
Mr. Ward's chest moved up and down as he continuously took a few deep breaths. He was clearly
suppressing the anger in his heart.
After Brent calmed down, he slowly said, “The Hughes family dominates the world, its family members
are everywhere and its factions are complicated. Long ago, the ancestors had formulated a family rule
for the family tree for the Hughes family's continuation.”
Jack was stiff, Killian's move might have something to do with the family rule that Mr. Ward said!
Mr. Ward's voice was low and deep when he said, “It's one of the family rules to prevent family
members fighting, creating internal conflict, and affecting the prosperous Hughes family.”
“What's the rule?” Jack asked.
“The younger generations from the Hughes family may not hurt the other members of the same clan...
Otherwise, they will be driven out of the Hughes family and their name will also be removed form the
family tree. Even if he's one of the successors, he'd also be disqualified.”
That punishment would be quite severe.
“Mr. Ward, why didn't I know that?” Brent looked surprised.
Mr. Ward glanced sideways at him, “We're both servants, do we have the authority to know things like
family rule? If I didn't follow the head of the family back then, I won't qualify to know either!”
A family rule related to the family members and even the selection of successors that would qualify. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Ordinary servants would definitely not qualify to know.
However, Jack frowned at Mr. Ward's words because he didn't understand if.
If that family rule existed, then it probably was Killian's goal of using Katherine to make Jack angry.
But Jack was confused because he had done the same thing!
“Mr. Ward, I did break one of George's legs.” Jack asked, “According to this family rule, I'd be
disqualified as the successor, no... I'd be driven out of the family tree.”
Mr. Ward smiled strangely, “Think about it carefully, is it really the same?”
Jack was dumbfounded.
All of the sudden, he realized something.
Last time Tyson Hotel, he attacked George because of Amber.
Jack only attacked because George schemed on Amber first... Jack even lost and Brent was the one
who broke George's leg!
Even if George and Killian's schemes seemed like the same thing, but it was completely different in
nature!
Katherine was indeed Jack's ex-wife, but after the divorce, they're basically two completely unrelated
people.
Killian used his “ex-wife” to step on his dignity, make him angry, and hurt Killian, that's exactly against
the family rule!
Mr. Ward smiled at the sight of Jack realizing it, “The family had investigated about George, he was the
first one to mess around and Brent was the one who attacked him... Old Master also sided with Young
Master, so Young Master could avoid it.”
After a pause, Mr. Ward stopped smiling, “Just now, fortunately the Young Master calmed down.
Otherwise, even if Brent intervened, it'd be hard for Young Master to avoid the family rule and it'd also
be hard for Old Master to side with him.”
“When those family members take a firm hold of the family rule, Young Master will definitely be driven
out of the family tree and Old Master will have to give up on Young Master.”
Jack smiled bitterly.
That was the principle.
However, Jack was just the “bastard” in the Hughes family members' eyes and he wasn't even in the
family tree.
It’d definitely make the father he had never met give up… Even if father was willing to support him,
father would have no choice else than giving up.
Else than Jack's father in the Hughes family, no one would probably regard Jack, the “bastard”, as
important?
“Killian, what an evil plan! He's killing people without weapon.”
Brent kept on sighing.
Mr. Ward also said, “Even if Killian is ruthless, but his subtleness is indeed so unfathomable.”
Jack suddenly smiled, “What if I use the family rule?”
Mr. Ward stiffened before he dejectedly said, “I'm afraid that Young Master... Won't be able to do so.”
“Fuck!”
Jack had predicted it before but he still couldn't help cursing.
Brent felt indignant at the injustice, “Then doesn't that mean that Killian can keep plotting against Young
Master, but Young Master can't use the same way to plot on them?”
Before Mr. Ward could say anything...
Jack smiled bitterly as he patted Brent's shoulder.
“If there is no right cause, there will be no good solution. Qualifying as the successor is already the
limit, even if it's more resentful, I must bear with it.”
