The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 741 Blatant Disregard

Amelia left.

In comparison with her exhausted and worried look when she came, she left looking a little more at

ease.

Truman was the richest man in Sunam.

It was enough to hinder Amelia from moving on with her plan!

However, Jack’s appearance had given her hope amidst her confusion.

Since the external parties oppressed the Quinn Family, then only other external parties can help them

to solve this issue.

Jim came out too and met Amelia coincidentally.

The two people nodded to each other as a form of greeting.

Jim said, “You have been doing well. Now that Mr. Hughes is involved too, everything will be much

easier on you.”

“Yeah. By the way, thanks a lot to your family for the help too,” Amelia said to Jim gratefully.

She had been anxious for the past few days because of what happened to the Quinn Family.

The dependence of Cissie’s family on Truman had tempted the other members of the Quinn Family.

Slowly, some of their businesses were changing their nature as well.

Fortunately, the Zhuge Family, which was a Long Thriving Family had been helping Amelia oppress

them.

Otherwise, the whole family would be in a deeper mess!

“That’s my job.” Jim didn’t mind it at all.

The Zhuge Family had relied on Jack to become the most affluent family in X City. They were bringing

back their glory days once again.

This wasn’t just an ordinary favour.

It was also their first step to follow the real leader.

Since the family had made their decision, then everyone in X City could be said to be on the same

boat. As the most influential family in X City, if the Zhuge family ignored the Quinn Family under Jack,

what kind of follower of them?

“Hopefully everything can be settled soon. I’ll get going first, Little Jim.”

Amelia nodded. When she was about to leave, Jim called out to her.

“What’s wrong?” Amelia looked at Jim in confusion. Then, she realized that he had a strange

expression on.

Jim moved his lips, and finally spoke slowly, “Don’t call me Little Jim. Jim is good enough. Little Jim

makes me sound feminine.”

Amelia was stunned, then soon responded with a soft chuckle.

While watching Amelia leave, Jim’s gaze turned sharp as he mumbled to himself.

“With Mr. Hughes on the team, Russell family was nothing to us.”

From Jim’s words, one could know that he had great confidence in Jack.

Knock knock!

Jim turned and knocked on Jack’s door.

After getting Jack’s permission, then only he entered the room.

“You met Amelia?”

Jack held onto his teacup and took small sips of tea slowly.

“Yeah. She looked much better than before.” Jim nodded.

Jack placed his cup down and said in an appreciative tone, “About this, we need to thank your family

for all the help given. It has helped Amelia so much.”

They discussed the whole incident in details.

Jack asked about other things too, and found Amelia’s answers to be satisfactory.

Until today, he was still displeased about the fact that Aiden had back-stabbed them.

And because of this, he was a little biased towards Drago when it came to the allocation of resources.

Although brute force was involved in making Drago obey him, but that didn’t matter.

When compared to Aiden, who was careful in every step he made, Drago who was more carefree and

expressed his emotions freely was easier to handle.

Right now, the Zhuge Family was what Jack was worried of.

As a Long Thriving Family, the end of them would be displeasing if they followed Aiden’s ways of doing

things.

“You don’t need to thank me. My grandfather taught us that it’s our responsibility as the member of the

Long Thriving Family to do those things.”

Jim replied humbly. While making himself clear, he remained composed.

Jack raised his brows, “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

“Mr. Hughes, my grandfather knows that you’re coming today so he has set up a banquet at our family

home. I’d like to invite you to the Zhuge Residence tonight for a welcoming party especially set up for

you.”

“It’s fine and I appreciate your grandfather’s hard work. But I just want to settle the Quinn Family’s

matters as soon as possible in this trip, and would return home soon after. There’s no need to go

through so much trouble for me.“

Jack waved his hand and rejected Jim’s invitation right away.

His response stunned Jim for a second.

Jim wanted to persuade Jack again, but upon seeing his determination, he decided against it.

Nodding, he said, “I’ll head back and inform my grandfather.”

After Jim left, Jack shook his head helplessly.

“I’m worried about the Zhuge Family, and they are concerned about me too. If it wasn’t because Amber

was at home, I really should have attended the banquet.”

Jack understood what the Zhuge Family was thinking about.

They just wanted to foster a closer relationship with Jack.

Even if it was just for show, it was better than nothing. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Jack worried that the Zhuge Family might have other motives, and with the many invitations from their

side, Jack realized that maybe they had the same concerns about him as well.

With this thought in his mind, his suspicions towards the family diminished a little.

He was worried about Amber who was at home now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind attending the

banquet at all.

One of the reasons he rejected them was because he didn’t want any other issues to arise and cause

more troubles.

……

The next day.

At nine o’clock in the morning.

Someone had knocked on Jack’s door.

Jim came in and said respectfully, “Mr. Hughes, we are ready to leave for the Quinn Residence.”

“Okay.”

Jack had already washed up.

Jim helped Jack with his wheelchair as they headed out.

They got into the car.

Jim drove while Jack sat in the backseat.

Along the way, none of them spoke.

The car was silent from the beginning till the end.

Jack was looking out the window, looking all relaxed.

In comparison to that, Jim appeared to be a little more tense.

As the eldest grandson of the most affluent family in Sunam, it was a sure thing that he would take over

the Russell family.

That meant he would be the head of the most affluent family in Sunam, representing them to speak.

Because of this reason, Jim did not dare to interfere with any of the Quinn Family’s internal affairs even

though he had been helping Amelia with her issues.

Once he did, he would have to face the Russell family of Sunam!

Both families were the wealthiest and most influential in their areas.

However, there was still a difference between being in X City and Sunam!

The Zhuge Family was one of the Long Thriving Families and was not that far behind Russell family

compared to the Quinn Family.

Although that was the case, but they couldn’t just act rashly.

At the same time.

At the Quinn Residence.

In the Morning.

A wave of excitement filled up the place.

Since early morning, the servants had been busy working.

As for the members of the family, some were confused, some happy, while some were upset, hiding in

their rooms and refused to take part in this sudden occasion.

The firecrackers were lit up. Its loud sound echoed in the house.

A faint scent of smoke was mixed with the air.

Amelia was woken up in the early morning because of the loud noises.

Once she had washed up, she walked into the courtyard with a confused expression.

Now that she was leading the Quinn Family, all the events that happened must be the ones she had

approved.

However, she knew nothing about what was going on this morning.

“What’s happening?”

When Amelia came out, she met two servants who were hurrying with their work. She stopped them

and voiced out her doubts.

The maids were so shocked that they immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look Amelia in the

eyes.

One of the braver maids quickly replied, “Ms. Amelia, Miss. Russell said it has been quite some time

since she brought Mr. Russell here. Although we had our welcoming party, but we have not invited all

the family members to meet him.”

“So…we are inviting all the members of the Quinn Family to come back today to meet Mr. Russell?”

Amelia was highly displeased and her expression changed instantly.

They were…disrespecting her authority!

Did they even remember that she was the Head of the Quinn Family? Did they even have any respect

for her?

Such blatant disregard for her!

Upon realizing the change of expression on Amelia’s face, the two servants quickly left the scene,

afraid of what might hit them if they were to stay.

At this time.

A strange chuckle suddenly sounded.

“Hey, Amelia! You’re awake? Anyway, I came to tell you that I informed all the members of the Quinn

Family to come back today for this important occasion. I want them to meet Truman. You should come

too, the more the merrier anyway.”

Amelia’s gaze turned cold as she looked in the direction of the voice.

Soon, she gritted her teeth, “Cissie…”
