Chapter 153 Broke Aiden's Backbone
Chapter 153 Broke Aiden's Backbone
It was a normal billing day in the underground fight club.
But it was a sleepless night for their big boss Aiden, who was perturbed, turning from one side to the
other.
The next morning.
After a crazy training session, Jack didn't go to his office.
He was waiting for Aiden to arrive with an apology.
Brent was still lying in the hospital, his life was not in danger anymore, but he was yet still unconscious.
Daisy stayed with him in the hospital to take care of him, and hadn't slept the whole night.
Wasn't his friend's life too low of a value if this was easily paid with some contemptible scoundrels?
When he was back at home again, the table was filled with food.
Jack knitted his brows, he didn't see his mother around.
"Madam Burton is out."
Mr. Ward came downstairs, and said to him thinking, "She asked us to eat and leave the dishes on the
table, she will clean up when she comes back."
"Where did she go?"
Jack asked.
Mr. Ward shook his head, "I already asked someone to follow her."
Just when they finished their breakfast, a black Mercedes G Class was driving up at the gate of TM
Villa District.
"Stand at attention!"
The security guards at the gate stood up tall and straight, all in one line.
The Mercedes Benz G -class didn’t stop, and it rushed to TM Villa area.
"That's weird, why is Mr. Lott here so early in the morning?" One of the guards was wondering.
It really was Aiden in the Mercedes, who made all the guards to welcome him in such respect.
But all of the guards knew, many properties he had, here at TM Villa, it was only one of his houses.
Aiden hardly ever came to TM to stay.
And this was the first time to see him rushing over to TM Villa District so early in the morning.
"Watch your mouths!" One of the middle aged guards said, "We simply watch the gate, that's all we
need to do, since when do we gossip about Mr. Lott?"
The Mercedes stopped outside of the district.
Aiden got off the car, carrying a wooden box in his hands, and walked inside quickly.
He didn't sleep the whole night, and the tiredness was written on his face.
But his eyes were unusually bright, like flashing lights.
He tossed and turned the whole night, but when he finally understood the interest at stake, Aiden
decided to go and apologize.
It might be embarrassing if this ever got out.
But for him, his life was more important.
When the incident with Killian happened, he didn't even think about it before taking Killian's side, but
what happened after that was completely out of his expectations.
Killian leaving and Jack standing still caused Aiden to have no way to back down, so the only choice he
had was to take no side.
When Jack's DT Real Estate was in a big crisis, he bought a plot of land in West Shantytowns, which
was to befriend Jack, hoping to seek a place at Jack's.
But his befriending had received no response from Jack's side.
If this current incident had planted unpleasantness with Jack, Aiden had no doubt that he might go
against him.
The best result he could get would probably be comparable to Drago.
The two of them had been enemies for years, their strengths had differences, but definitely not too
many.
All lives were equal under a real leader.
Ding-dong!
He rang the door bell.
Aiden was waiting perturbed, both hands holding the wooden box tightly.
Inside the box was what he would use to show his sincerity apologizing to Jack.
It even had some temperature left.
After waiting for some time, the door finally opened.
Aiden's pupils narrowed when he saw Mr. Ward, then he said extremely deferential, "Mr. Ward, I am
here to ask for forgiveness, to offer my humble apologies."
"Hm."
Mr. Ward stood aside, and said to him coldly, "Young Master is having his breakfast."
Aiden went inside the villa, and entered the dining room while Mr. Ward led the way.
He saw Jack sitting at the table, quietly enjoying his meal.
The morning sun was shining on him.
His calm and at ease aura under the sun light put Aiden in a trance, his heart filled with bitterness.
Who would have known that the company he had founded for his brother in-law had a hidden such a
talent?
When he remembered all those things from before, he felt angry and hateful, once he made one wrong
decision, everything following was also wrong.
If he had stood by Jack from the beginning on, he wouldn't be here to offer his apologies now.
"Mr. Lott, you are quite early."
Jack took his bowl of porridge, and smiled on the surface, "Sit down, have a bite with me, I am sure
you haven't eaten."
Even though it was an invitation, Jack didn't look at Aiden once.
"No, thank you, I am here to ask for my punishment."
Aiden smiled, he didn't eat indeed, he didn't sleep the whole night, and as soon as the sun rose, he
came over.
"Hmm?"
Jack raised his brow, continuing his breakfast.
It was so quiet in the dining room, that a fallen needle could have been heard.
Aiden put down the wooden box on the table.
He said extremely deferential, while opening the box, "Mr. Hughes, everything that happened last night
was all my fault, and they have paid for it."
The moment the box opened, and Jack saw the content, his gaze froze, and his inside cramped up.
Inside was... a hand!
Whoosh!
The bowl in Jack's hand slipped and fell on the ground, then he said, "Mr. Lott, you are spoiling my
appetite, how do you call this apologizing?"
Aiden felt as if struck by lightening, and quickly closed the box.
He had already taken care of the incident last night, the content of the box he kept as evidence, to
show Jack when asking for forgiveness.
But he completely neglected the current situation.
"Mr. Lott, I have received your apologies, this was a great show!"
Jack stood up, and took a step back, his face was cold as he gave a laugh.
Aiden started getting goosebumps while sweat showed on his forehead.
He was seized with panic, but then his gaze showed determination.
He bit his own lips, his knees softened, and kneeled down on the floor.
"Mr. Hughes, please forgive me!"
"It was all my fault, I was possessed by ghosts, treacherous!"
"It was all my fault, I have failed you, please forgive me." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Aiden kept pouring out.
If anyone would have seen that, they would have been shocked.
He was so powerful in this town, how could he be in such a degrading situation?
But Aiden didn't think there was anything wrong.
He knew, this is what Jack wanted, it was not simply related with billing!
Jack stared at Aiden with his freezing gaze.
After a while.
He waved his hand, and said coldly, "Alright, take your stuff and leave."
"Mr. Hughes..." Aiden looked up at Jack still in panic.
Jack's expression was still cold, so was his voice when he spoke, "This will not happen another time!"
"Thank you Mr. Hughes!"
Aiden took his wooden box, his face filled with joy.
After he left, Mr. Ward started laughing, his gaze on Jack.
"Young Master, today you have broken his backbone!"
Jack smiled mildly, "If a dog bit his master, only by beating him, he would know who was the master!"
Mr. Ward laughed, "After the kneeling today, I guess he will never go against you anymore."
