Chapter 779 Are You Kidding?


    It was a harsh sentence without any means for anyone to retaliate nor exin. It felt like the sky had


    fallen.


    Marshall began to feel dizzy as he knelt until he could not kneel anymore. He went limp and slumped


    onto the ground. Hopelessness, terror, and all sorts of emotions stirred within Marshall. He began to


    tremble and his face became pale as a sheet of paper.


    He was gripped with fear and horror.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    Tonight’s tragedy was totally unexpected. If it was not for Saxon’s call, how could he have offended his


    own master? His master hade to South Maine and did not notify the local Hughes office obviously


    because he did not want others to know about his travel ns.


    If not for tonight’s incident, he would not have shed with Master Hughes and when Master Hughes


    left, Marshall would still be the local big wig of South Maine.


    But now…


    Marshall could only wail within himself and curse the Turner family in his heart.


    Jack sat in his wheelchair and was satisfied with what Mr. Ward did. Marshall had disrespected Jack’s


    wife and it was only appropriate to rage and punish him. Furthermore, Jack was clear that Mr. Ward


    was using this opportunity to decisively terminate a dissident like Marshall regardless of who was


    backing Marshall at the Hughes family. After eradicating Marshall, an ally of his father could be installed


    at the South Maine office. Although a small office was insignificant to the Hughes family, all these add


    up.


    “You have something that you need to do before your death.” Mr. Ward said coldly as he stood beside


    Jack, red at Marshall, and continued, “If you do it well, only you will die. If not, your entire family will


    be wiped out.”


    Kaboom!


    The ruthless words were like frozen daggers stabbing into his heart. Marshall looked up at Mr. Ward in


    despair and desperation.


    “I know that you are upset but the person you offended is the son of the Head of the Hughes family and


    the future heir!” What Mr. Ward said dashed Marshall’sst hopes.


    Marshall knew at this point that the end was near. He took a deep breath as if he mustered all his


    strength to say, “I will personally ensure that the Turner family will cease to exist in South Maine by


    tomorrow.”


    “You are a smart man.” Mr. Ward said as he waved for Marshall to leave.


    After Marshall left, Jack slowly shifted his gaze towards Shirley and the unconscious Austin. From the


    moment this incident happened, Shirley had been nonchnt and seemed detached. Sheid on the


    ground and was cold and staring nking.


    The series of events was like a roller coaster to her. A moment ago she had been hoping to use the


    Turner family’s might to revenge against Jack. But now, Jack had turned things around and ruined the


    Turner family. Even whoever backed the Turner family could not escape from Jack’s wrath. Her hopes


    of power, wealth, and fame had vanished into thin air.


    Furthermore…


    Although she was in a daze, she had heard every word spoken by Mr. Ward and Marshall. Now, the


    terror of death started to envelop her entirely.


    No one bothered with the unconscious Austin whose four limbs were broken. Since the judgment had


    been made to eliminate the Turner family, the unconscious Austin was as good as dead. No one would


    bother if she was alive or not at this point.


    Jack and Amber looked emotionlessly at the dazed Shirley. Because of what happened initially, both


    Jack and Amber felt that Shirley could not disassociate herself from the traffic ident. Austin was the


    perpetrator and Shirley who was in the front passenger seat was the aplice.


    Both Mr. Ward and Brent noticed the gloom and ruthlessness in Jack and Amber’s eyes.


    Mr. Ward walked forward and said solemnly to Jack and Amber, “Master and Missus, it’s best to deal


    with it once and for all.” Mr. Ward’s statement immediately lowered the temperature of the entire hall.


    Amber was appalled as she looked at Mr. Ward while Jack was his usual calm self because he shared


    the same views as Mr. Ward. Initially, he had been merciful and allowed Shirley to leave but who could


    have expected them to meet again when he came to South Maine for a vacation? It could have been a


    coincidence if they simply bumped into each other but … in that car ident, Shirley was actually in


    the car and surely she knew that Austin was trying to kill Jack and Amber!


    It had alreadye to this and if he continued to be merciful, it would be the greatest disservice to


    himself!


    Then, before waiting for Jack to agree, Shirley shuddered and her dazed eyes quickly focused. Her


    desperate wails started to fill and echo within the hall.


    “I had nothing to do with this. I tried my best to stop him! It was Austin who had ulterior motives against


    Amber. Why am I being med for this?”


    “I had already suffered enough because of you. I hade this far away to South Maine and how


    “I had already nned for my future and now with you and Amber’s sudden appearance, I had instantly


    lost everything. What had I done wrong?”


    …


    Shirley was devastated at this point and wailed pitifully. Her sorrowful cries continued to fill the entire


    hall.


    Jack, Mr. Ward, and the rest were startled by Shirley’s reaction and instantly Jack felt amused. Did


    Shirley try to stop the ident? Even if she did try to stop it, what happened after that? Shirley indeed


    behaved like a bystander during the entire event and did not speak much.


    But…


    The problem was her indifference! Jack said calmly to the devastated Shirley, “You… should be aware


    of my identity. I don’t believe that you did not research into my background.”


    In the past, before he forced Shirley to leave, although he had not revealed his identity to Shirley, the


    fact that he owned a Bauhinia bank card was enough to indicate his background. It was extremely rare


    for anyone to own a Bauhinia bank card to the extent that no one at South Maine owned one. Apart


    from the card, he was certain that Shirley must have used all sorts of methods to check on him. That


    was why Shirley must have known about the situation and allowed the situation to deteriorate.


    Now Shirley who had been wailing was beginning to panic and her eyes began to drift. But then very


    quickly sheposed herself.


    But Jack did not give Shirley any chance of redeeming herself and said coldly, “Surely you know that


    the South Maine Turner family is nowhereparable to my background but yet you remained silent


    and watched the situation worsen.”


    After a pause, Jack rubbed his nose, took a deep breath, andughed, “Let me guess… you must have


    tacitly agreed with this. You must have tried to depend on this local snake in South Maine to suppress


    and kill a dragon like me.”


    Each of his words was sharp and piercing and went straight into Shirley’s heart.


    At this point, Shirley was unable to maintain herposure and started to panic. She felt as though


    Jack could see right through her.


    “The Turner family could have lived through this but you had caused the devastation of the Turner


    family. Now, are you kidding yourself by crying so bitterly?”
