Chapter 177 Oppress By Force?
Once he said, Minister Mable, Aiden, and the rest started to look unsettled.
No one was epting Jack’s apology. Furthermore, what did Jack do wrong? He had arrived on the
appointed time and was clearly not in the wrong. But it was Old Master Burton who was being
oppressive.
Old Master Burton sat in ce and his expression turned blue with anger. He wanted to use this
asion to impress Jack with the prowess of the Burton family. Even if in this city, he could summon all
the local big wigs with a wave of his hand. In his view, Jack was unable to get these people to respond
to him.
Although DT Agency had been on the rise, it was insignificant in Old Master Burton’s eyes. Wealth and
connections are two different issues and connections are far more important than money! What made
things worse was Jack gave him the impression of being an inexperienced young man.
This wrecked his ns.
Wham! In his anger, Old Master Burton jabbed his walking stick onto the ground.
“Aiden…” He said with his teeth clenched. Aiden’s heart skipped a beat. His odd expression turned
even worse. Previously, he pledged his loyalty to Old Master Burton in order to get closer to him. But
never had he expected that the key person on this asion was Jack!
This… ced him in a very difficult spot. How was he going to navigate this?!
When Jack heard this, he scoffed and looked towards the unsettled Aiden. Thest time when Aiden
visited him to present his apologies, Jack had already broken his will. Now how will he still have the
courage to offend Jack?
When he saw Jack’s stare, Aiden became very restless. He got up in a hurry and turned to Old Master
Burton, “Old Master, Jack had arrived on time and wasn’t considered impolite. I think we can just let
this issue pass.”
“You…” Old Master Burton’s face turned red and red at Aiden in anger. Aiden’spromise at the
expense of principles and angered him even more. What did he say earlier and now what was he
saying? He wanted to oppress Jack to show him that even if he was wealthy, to the Burton family, he
was as insignificant as an ant.
But now Aiden started topromise and what he intended to do could not continue.
Old Master Burton took a deep breath and suppressed his fury. He narrowed his eyes to look at those
present and demanded, “What do you all think?”
“Mr. Lott is right!” Minister Mable was first to speak.
Old Master Burton’s pupil constricted.
“Jack came on time and doesn’t count as being rude.” Director Lansing added.
Old Master Burton started to frown deeply.
Since Minister Mable and Director Lansing had already spoken, the rest of those present also quickly
nodded in support.
Old Master Burton ground his teeth in anger. Since everyone had forgiven Jack, he couldn’t continue to
stubbornly persist.
Old Master Burton looked at Jack coldly and said, “You disrespectful and unfilial young man, it’s your
mother’s fault for not teaching you manners. Since everyone is so magnanimous, this issue is
considered settled!”
However.
“Pfft!” Jack was scoffed. Although he wasughing, he became increasingly cold. His dashing and
handsome face became frosty.
Smack! A hand pped onto the table.
Jack stood up and pointed to Old Master Burton and said, “What right do you have to rebuke me for
being unfilial? My mother brought me up very well. I don’t need you an outsider to find fault with me!”
The atmosphere in the room immediately tensed up.
Minister Mable and the rest frowned and looked extremely ufortable. It was not so much about
Jack’s sudden reprimand of Old Master Burton. They were not fools. All of them could tell that Jack and
Old Master Burton had an ongoing grudge.
How could they enjoy this meal? They would be lucky if the table wasn’t flipped out of anger.
“How dare you! I’m your grandfather!” Old Master Burton yelled as he panted.
“Scumbag grandfather!” Jack was full of contempt.
If it wasn’t for Old Master Burton’s threat, he would not evene for this dinner. Even if he came, he
wasn’t here to be made a fool of! The Old Master Burton kept berating him and insulting his mother as
if he was so virtuous and morally superior.
Fuck you! You shameless fool!
“You… have you no respect for your elders?” Old Master Burton was so angry that his entire body
trembled. What Jack said was like a tight p across his face.
He was the host of this dinner and he wanted to impress Jack with the prowess of the Burton family
and not for Jack to humiliate him in front of others.
Old Master Burton was flushed with anger and breathed quickly. His right hand shook as he pointed to
Minister Mable, “You, do you know who these people are?”

“He, he has the most authority in your city!”
“He, is the most influential person in your city!”
“He, is the champion of the medical field!”
…
As Old Master Burton slowly pointed, each of them had a status that would shock an ordinary person.
But as he couldn’t control his rage, Old Master Burton didn’t notice that during his introduction, Minister
Mable and the rest of their expression slowly changed.
When thest person was introduced, Old Master Burton firmly struck the ground with his walking stick
and said with vigor, “How dare you yell at me on such an asion?”
“The Burton family is the richest in the capital and I’m the head of the family and your grandfather. How
dare you be so rude?”
“You are very talented and had managed the DT Agency very well. But in the eyes of the Burton family,
you are just an ant!” His tone was full of fire and rage. He was overbearing and oppressive towards
Jack.
“Ha!” Jack scoffed, “If the Burton family is so great, then why did you old damn fool still ask me to go
back to be the head of the family?”
Kaboom! What he said shocked everyone present.
It was like Minister Mable and the rest were struck by lightning and all looked shocked. The Burton
family was the richest in the capital. The head of the family was highly important. How could they
simply let Jack take over the family?
At that moment, everyone looked shocked at Jack. On one side he was the heir of the Hughes family,
on the other hand, he could be the head of the Burton family.
How could this city be hiding a golden dragon like Jack?
Old Master Burton’s face was extremely red and he was fuming angrily. His eyes became bloodshot
and stared at Jack as if he wanted to devour Jack.
What Jack said practically trashed his confidence and pride!
Just at that moment, Minister Mable stood up and said to Old Master Burton, “My apologies, I’ll take my
leave.” He totally didn’t bother with Old Master Burton’s response and quickly walked to Jack. He
nodded slightly and smiled, “Jack, I’m sorry, today was my mistake. If I had known that this dinner was
to set you up, then I would never have let it taken ce.”
After saying this, he quickly walked out of the restaurant.
Following that, Director Lansing also stood up and didn’t even excuse himself from Old Master Burton
but he went to Jack and said respectfully, “Jack, I’m sorry, just as Minister Mable said. Otherwise, with
his temper, he would have torn down my hospital.”
After saying, Director Lansing also left.
One was the highest authority in the city while the other was the champion of the medical field.
With their status, they really didn’t need to show Old Master Burton any courtesy. It was true that the
Burton family was the richest in the capital but they were not at the capital! They had already shown
him enough respect but under the current turn of events, they didn’t need to extend any more courtesy
to him.
After they left, Old Master Burton was stunned and felt like he had the wind knocked out of him.
When he saw Director Lansing walk out, Old Master Burton was bewildered and shouted, “Director
Lansing, this chap is just an outcast of my family. Why did both of you apologize to him?”
Director Lansing stopped and said softly, “Jack is one of the heirs of the Hughes family and the Director
of QY International Group’s son-inw. Don’t you think we need to apologize?”
Kaboom!
Old Master Burton shivered. His face which was red with anger immediately turned pale.
Jack… was the son-inw of the Director of QY International Group?
