Chapter 302 Good News, Bad News

    Chapter 302 Good News, Bad News


    About half an hourter, Jack and Yael met in a cafe downstairs of DT.


    "Do you want to know the good or the bad news first?" Yael sipped on his coffee and giggled strangely.


    "Bad one first."


    Jack said calmly.


    Yael raised his brow, "Hey, and I thought you would choose the good one first."


    "First the bad then the good, that is what I call a surprise, first good then bad, that would be a


    disappointment." Jack smiled.


    "Alright then."


    Yael rubbed his hands, and raised his cup once more for a sip.


    It was obvious that he felt anxious, there were sweat pearls on his forehead, he must have came there


    immediately after his nended.


    He put down the cup again.


    Yael smiled, "The bad news is that Ivy didn''t really step back from the entertainment business, she


    went back to the Hughes, and then opened her ownpany in the capital city with their help, she has


    transformed."


    As he spoke, Yael smiled and blinked his eyes, "And, me and Ciara talked about that, we think Ivy did


    this mainly because she is hunting down your and the Watson''s and Vaughn''s entertainmentpany."


    "Last time when they were fighting on inte, she suffered a defeat on the verge of victory, and the


    reason for that was because of The Watson''s and Vaughn''s lead, so I guess she wants to break that


    even with them."


    She still thought about that?


    Jack knitted his brows, he was a little surprised.


    The consensus war blocked all chances for Ivy to stay in the entertainment business.


    And now that the Hughes were involved, it wasn''t only between him and Ivy anymore, it was about the


    whole Hughes family.


    To step out of the entertainment field was the only way to keep the consensus spreading to the


    Hughes.


    But even after that happened, Ivy still received the Hughes'' help to build up a new entertainment


    She was an evil woman, and she clearly was a treasure of Madam Hughes.


    "So, this woman really is trouble." Yael saw Jack''s expression andughed about it.


    Jack raised his brow, and smiled, "You are talking about Vinna?"


    "Screw you..." Yael''s smile disappeared, and he showed a middle finger to Jack.


    Jackughed out loud, and kept asking, "So what about the good news?"


    He didn''t really care about Ivy starting a newpany again.


    She had already lost all her chances in this area, especially after she posted that apology video after


    the whole consensus situation.


    This made her lose all the fans she had gained before.


    Even if she stayed in the entertainment area, it was nearly impossible to raise to the same monstrous


    billow she had before.


    The only thing she could do was to point her knives at Ciara''spany, but the good news was that he


    already had the Vaughn join thispany, Ivy couldn''t do anything with the two of them cooperating.


    If the Vaughns were still standing alone, Ivy would have cooperated with them, and Jack might fear


    them, but now, they were both Hughes’, who would bully who now?


    Yael rubbed his hands again, and said meaningful, "It''s about the Burton family from your mother''s


    side."


    "The Burton family?"


    Jack''s forehead was deeply knitted.


    He just met with Old Master Burton and his son, and now Yael mentioned them to Jack again.


    Was that a coincidence?


    "Yes, the Burton family from the capital city."


    Yael''s eyes shed, he said interested, "Don''t you hate them, now karma is hitting them, when you and


    your father tried to rescue your mom, it was a huge drama, and the Burton''s position as the richest


    family is now not secured anymore, it is all over the capital city."


    "A while ago, the capital city had a lot of hidden wealthy family and groups, all those giant families and


    groups are now all in desire, and secretly making ns to take over the Burton''s business and


    resources."


    Yael leaned back in his chair as he was speaking, he put both his hands behind his head for support.


    "Today''s Burton family is not the same as it used to be anymore, everyone is sharpening their swords,


    ready to take their parts from the richest family in the capital city, and the Burton family is panicking."


    He sighed, he didn''t feel that Jack was happy about those news.


    On the contrary, he saw that his eyes deepened.


    "No wonder, I knew that the Burton didn''t have good intentions."


    Jack mumbled, the doubts that he had were all gone.


    "What do you mean?" Yael asked curiously.


    "The Old Burton and Dyson are in the city right now, I saw them not long ago, the old man even wanted


    to put my mom’s memorial tablet into their ancestor''s shrine, to be worshipped by the Burton''s


    generation after generation, that was supposed to be their way to give us what they owed."


    Jackughed cold as he said that, then he shrugged his shoulders, "How arrogant are they ? Bring my


    mom’s memorial tablet the Burton''s shrine, why would they think that would make up for what they had


    done all these years?"


    Yael''s pupils narrowed.


    He suddenly realized.


    "Fuck, what kind of make up is that, that is clearly not having any good intentions at all, if they took


    your mom''s memorial tablet that would basically be a different way to pull you close! They were only


    trying to find themselves a backup!"


    "They wanted to use me, to use the Hughes family, to save their own family not to be taken down,


    tztz..."


    Jack''s expression was cold, "The Burton family never disappointed me with their ability of being


    shameful and cruel."


    "So what will you do?" Yael asked curiously.


    "If I allowed them to add my mom''s memorial to their shrine, it would be an offense to her."


    Jack shook his head, "Since they have already been shameful to this point, I of course wish them all


    the best in their current situation."


    Yael paused, then he started tough loudly.


    Jack rubbed his nose, both the good and the bad news were quite irrelevant to him.


    The only thing he learned was to see through Old Master Burton''s true intentions.


    But, it was also a good thing to watch the Burton family fall apart with his own eyes.


    His mom had suffered more than 20 years, now she could finally feel happy even she died already.


    Jack saw that Yael couldn''t stopughing anymore, and asked, "How is it going between you and


    Vinna?"


    Yael suddenly stopped.


    "If you don''t talk about it again we can still be friends."


    "Because we are friends, I had to ask." Jack answered.


    Yael rubbed his head anxiously, "If it wasn''t for your stuff, I wouldn''t have gone to the capital city, that


    Vinna must have lost her mind, she had been following me everywhere when I was in the city, she


    stayed in my room at night and refused to leave, if I wasn''t smart enough and gave her sleeping pills


    and took her to the next room, I might not be able to rescue myself from her."


    "You are the one who urged all of us to help you get her." Jack rolled his eyes, "You are at the age to


    get married, it''s not good to stay alone all the time."


    "Shut up, look at Mr. Ward, he is living his life, a person like me doesn''t deserve it."


    Yael stemmed his neck, his eyes blur, he paused for a moment, then said determined, "Right, I don''t


    deserve it!"


    Jack rubbed his nose, heughed.


    At the same time in the hospital.


    Old Master Burton finally woke up, heid on the ward bed, pale in the face.


    Dyson was surprised, "Dad, you finally woke up, you really scared me!"


    "Where am I?" Old Master Burton''s eyes were a little blurry, he seemed confused.


    "This is the hospital."


    Dyson said quickly, "But you don''t have to worry, I arranged everything, we are taking you back to the


    capital city, and then you can rest peacefully, you don''t have to worry about Jack anymore."


    "You unfilial child!"


    Old Master Burton''s face was filled with anger, he cursed and then tried to get up, "I, I need to get out!
