Chapter 560 What Could She Get Out Of This?
Bang!
The door mmed shut again.
Jack’s resolute words kept reying in Hana’s ears.
Resentment. Dissatisfaction. Anger. Those emotions were swallowing Hana up.
In front of Jack, she had felt a sense of humiliation! It was something she had never felt before!
He was ignorant towards her, till the point that he was even toozy to dislike her. She was invisible to
him, it seemed.
“Ah!”
Hana scratched her hair with both hands and screamed.
In anger, she swept her arms across the table, swinging the wine bottles and sses to the ground.
Under the shimmering lights, stood Hana who was disheveled. She no longer looked drunk as rage
reced her dazed look from earlier.
“Jack Hughes, you’re a piece of trash. Can’t you have a better judgment? Which part of me is not better
than that girl from the Knight Family?”
“You can even sacrifice your life for her! What about me? I gave you the chance to live. Heck, I even
brought it to you and put it right in front of your face. All you need to do is grab it!”
“Damn it!”
……
The shrill screams echoed in the suite.
Jack’s rejection sent her into a state of madness.
Jack left the suite.
Slowly, he wheeled his wheelchair into the elevator.
It took a few seconds to get downstairs, but Jack felt that it was taking exceptionally long.
Hana’s words were like countless sharp needles which pierced through his heart.
While it riled him up, it also uncovered the scars he had been hiding for more than twenty years.
Back then, his father left to protect Jack and his mother.
However, his father never once asked if Jack and his mother wanted him to protect them with his
departure.
Because he left them, Jack and his mother had been suffering for more than twenty years. They lived
like the lowlifes on the streets. Throughout those years, he had been called an illegitimate child
countless times.
No one would understand how miserable Jack was without ever experiencing that situation themselves.
His father was able to leave without any hesitation.
But Jack couldn’t!
Even if his life was on the line, it was still better than having his child think that his father had
abandoned him and his mother! It was still better than having his child live in hatred forever!
Moreover, Jack knew how much Amber had suffered from being with him all these years.
If he had chosen the Powell Family, even if it was with the reason of protecting Amber, what would she
think?
It would kill her to go through that!
Be it out of his responsibility or his childhood memories, Jack would never make such an irresponsible
decision.
“Amber and my child…”
Jack’s initial gloomy face became relieved all of a sudden. He disyed a grateful smile, “You guys are
everything to me.”
Ding!
Jack wheeled himself out of the elevator and headed towards the hotel lobby.
As soon as he entered the lobby, his gaze flickered and saw someone familiar sitting at the lounge
which was located at the end of the lobby.
Ciara looked mad yet aggrieved at the same time.
Both her hands were sped together in anger, and she kept tugging at the corner of her shirt.
Her pretty face had a cold expression on while her brows were tightly knitted together.
“Stupid Jack. Jack is a bastard. Jack is a jerk. You said that you love Amber. I didn’t expect you to be
someone like this. Amber has done so much for you. You’re a bastard…”
Ciara kept murmuring to herself angrily from the moment she sat down on the couch.
It made those around Ciara look at her as if she was a strange woman and subconsciously moved
further away from her.
However, Ciara couldn’t control her anger.
She knew what happened between Jack and Amber. For instance, the incident during their wedding
ceremony.
A wedding ceremony was one of the most important things to a woman in her life.
But what happened on their wedding day?
And Amber had never disagreed with him, nor did she even request him to make up to her for the
wedding.
This alone was enough to make Ciara feel aggrieved for Amber, and had cursed Jack in her mind a
million times.
“How am I a bastard?”
A chuckle sounded from behind her.
Ciara, who was engulfed in fury, froze and was about to turn back and scold the person.

But upon looking back, she was surprised to find that it was Jack.
“Huh? You’re done so fast?”
Jack shuddered suddenly. He choked and coughed for a few moments.
Ciara waved, “Sorry, that wasn’t what I mean. I wanted to ask why are you done so fast?”
Jack was speechless.
He just stared at Ciara who was panicking frantically.
Then, he smiled, “Don’t overthink it. Nothing happened but let’s just find another celebrity to work with.
This cooperation isn’t going to work.”
“Nothing happened at all?”
Ciara was stunned. When she came back to her senses, Jack had already wheeled himself out of the
hotel’s main doors.
She quickly followed behind and gave him a hand in pushing the wheelchair.
They got into the car shortly after.
Finally, Ciara couldn’t hold in her question anymore, “If nothing was going to happen, then why did you
insist to stay earlier? It was obvious enough what Hana Powell wanted with you!”
Jack rubbed his nose upon facing Ciara who was suspicious.
“Do you really think I would be ‘done’ so fast? After you left us alone, I did not even spend more than
five minutes in her room, am I right?”
“How would I know?”
Ciara blushed and looked down in embarrassment, but the doubts in her heart were mostly cleared.
Jack smiled, “I stayed because she has a solution to my crisis.”
“What crisis are you going through? Tell me, and we can find a way out together.” Ciara said to him
sincerely.
Jack shook his head bitterly.
It was something even the Hughes Family couldn’t settle, so what could I do with the resources and
manpower I have?
Those were the thoughts he never nned to tell Ciara. He just shrugged, “But I couldn’t ept the
conditions she set, so I came down.”
“What was it?” Ciara continued to ask.
Jack let out a strangeugh, “If I epted her terms, then I wouldn’t havee down in five minutes. It
would probably take about thirty minutes or so.”
“Half an hourter?!”
Ciara was astonished. Soon after, she realized what he meant, and her cheeks turned red once again.
“Let’s go.”
Jack ended the topic.
The corner of Ciara’s lips twitched as she smiled and started the engine of the car.
Jack’s words managed to make her feel relieved while she felt happy for Amber at the same time.
“Amber has good eyes for men. She has chosen someone who had principles.”
Ciara thought to herself.
The entertainment industry was a corrupted ce where people immersed themselves in debauched
lifestyles.
Ciara had seen many men who had lost themselves in the temptation of money. They looked clean and
professional on the outside, but their souls were long dirty to the dumps.
Not everyone could be unmoved when they were facing an A-list celebrity like Hana.
They went back to the five-star hotel Ciara had booked beforehand.
After Jack asked Ciara to leave, he washed up beforeying down on the bed.
He tossed and turned but was unable to fall asleep.
The scenes of what happened at Manhouse Hotel with Hana kept reying in his head like a broken
tape on repeat.
It wasn’t that he regretted his decisions, but he was doubtful about Hana’s attitude towards him.
Could he abandon his wife and marry Hana just to get into the Powell Family?
No, that wasn’t something Jack would do.
But if he looked at it rationally and analyzed its benefits, Jack really had the upper hand in this matter.
All it would take is a betrayal and a marriage for Jack to get rid of one of the Powells.
This was…too good to be true?
“What could she get out of this?”
Jack just stared at the ceiling with a puzzled gaze.
