Chapter 1057
Lately, Jack had been overwhelmingly busy. He had to keep a close eye on the expansion of Haven Net while contending with Gerard.
After the charity gala, the upper-class society in Tarthy City had dramatically changed. The power struggle between the two parties was an open secret. Whichever party's downfall occurred would trigger a complete reshuffling in Tarthy City.
To Jack and the Sandalwood Group, Gerard and Patrick were irreconcilable enemies. However, the latest polls showed that Gerard was currently ahead of the other contenders. Bringing Gerard down would not be an easy feat.
When Jack was resting at home around noon, he was told that Trent was visiting with his wife and Wilhelmina.
Jack had just laid down on his bed when he received a call from his men and discovered that Gerard was meeting a close personal friend at a clubhouse tonight. He immediately instructed his men to closely monitor Gerard's whereabouts. He didn't want to miss any opportunity to bring Gerard down.
After putting the phone down, Jack lay in bed, recalling everything that happened at the charity gala and the scrunched look of defeat on Patrick's face. His lips unconsciously curled into a smile.
However, Jack didn't believe Patrick would be so easily defeated and was actively investigating the reason behind Patrick's rise. He was convinced that Patrick's transformation from an ordinary nobody into the number one man in Tarthy City had to be backed by a groundbreaking secret.
Soon, another person popped into Jack's mind. It was Wilhelmina, the woman who had helped Patrick go against her own fiance.
That thought made Jack grit his teeth in fury. He had to teach Wilhelmina a lesson and make sure she paid a brutal price for it. He hoped she would live in fear forever and never dare defy him again.
As for Peter, it was only a matter of time before he could pry the information out of him.
At 3:00 pm that afternoon, Jack received a call from Feena. She asked if Jack was free the next night and wanted to ask him out for dinner.
Jack happily agreed. Bella and Luca would be joining them too.
They were all awestruck by how Jack had carried himself at the charity gala: That night, Jack was enurely different from what they knew@bout him, as if he had gone from nothing to royalty overnight. It was so surreal, almost like a dream.
Although Jack was the founder of
પા
Genesis Games, since the company went under, he seemed like nothing more than a measly sparrow compared to Tarthy City's four most, prestigious families Vet that night Jack had commanded the room with such overwhelming presence and absolute control. Was this really the same Jack from before?
As the evening approached, Trent, his wife, and his daughter visited.
Jack and Wilhelmina's relationship was tense, but it didn't affect Quintis' and Trent's relationship.
Trent's visit was to discuss how to deal with Gerard. If Gerard rose to power, not only would it be detrimental to the Lycans, but it would also pose a threat to the Dodgers in Boleria.
Although they heard about the drama that had happened at the charity gala; Quintis didn't pursue the matter further. He had asked Jack about it before, but Jack Rad brushed it off, claiming those people were simply his proteges who had come of their own accord to lend support.
Since Quintis wasn't present at the scene, he assumed it was Elias who had turned the tide. All the credit went to Elias, so Quintis didn't suspect a thing about Jack.
Quintis and Emily had never thought that their son, who had spent most of his life on the streets, would wield such influential impact.
After chatting for a while, it was mealtime. They sat down at the dining table and dug
in.
Trent intentionally arranged for Wilhelmina to sit beside Jack. Wilhelmina was unwilling, but she didn't dare oppose it in this setting. She had no choice but to sit beside Jack.
However, Wilhelmina felt uncomfortable. She could sense an intimidating air that left her in fear while sitting beside Jack.
