The hall was silent.

The air almost froze under the silent situation.

Out of the blue, a sense of fierceness was felt.

The strict sights stared at Jack.

The bastard...really dared to eat that?

Mr. Ward and Brent showed a sorrowful and confused expression.

They knew that Madam Hughes did it purposely. They even clear that Jack must know it as well.

But he did it too even he knew that he should not do that. He was as if seeking for death deliberately!

What did...young master think about?

Bang!

The table was patted loudly.Content rights belong to .

Archer Hughes could not control his anger anymore, he patted the table and stood up angrily.

"Jack, you bastard. Have you respected us as seniors?"

Archer shivered and bit his teeth. His anger almost burst out of his eyes.

After Archer initiated to scold him, others followed Archer to reprimand him.

"Rude, so rude! You're indeed a wild clodhopper. Don't you know about the basic etiquette?"

"Madam Hughes dotes on you, then you do whatever you like. You're haughty because Madam Hughes dotes on you, so shameless!"

"Jack, you don't know the etiquette well. Even if grandma dotes on us, we are the juniors, we should give precedence to grandma out of courtesy. You're a bastard, why do you have the eligibility to sit together with us?"

The words were hurtful. The reproach reverberated in the hall like continuous waves.

After hearing that, the hearts of Mr. ward and Brent almost jumped out.

Because of Madam Hughes's compliment, Jack became the target of public criticism instantly.

Although they knew that Patrick and his gang were there, they did not dare to help Jack out. It was because Jack was seeking danger for himself, he had committed a serious guilty.

The scene...was extremely uncontrollably!

The only people that stayed calm on the scene were Madam Hughes and Carter Hughes.

Two of them stayed calm when facing the public's reproach and criticism. They even showed revealed interesting sights.

Mr. Ward was revengeful when he saw the scene. Sweat could be seen on his forehead.

He was thinking of the way to help Jack. He was dumbfounded when he took a glance at Jack.

It was awkward...

What happened to young master today?

How could he stay calm?

Jack did not care about the reproach at the moment.

He kept smiling and ate the fish slowly.

When Jack swallowed the last smaller part of the fish, he revealed a refreshing smile.

The dish...was so delicious.

His reaction intensified the anger of everybody on the spot.

"Jack, you bastard. You're rude and haughty. You're uneducated well!"

Archer was furious at the moment, flame with anger burning in his eyes.

Initially, he was the one sitting beside Madam Hughes during the banquet but he moved one seat back because of Jack's appearance.

He was a senior, Jack's third uncle but his position was lower than his nephew.

Jack's words stroke his sensitive part of his heart heavily.

He could have a dominant position in the Hughes Family was not because of his ability, it was because he had a close relationship with his kin. Just then, Archer's anger toward Jack was the most intense compared to others!

However.

After Archer said that he was uneducated.

His smile faded from his face. Jack showed a cold face.

Out of the blue, he narrowed his eyes. His sights were sharp and cold, he stared at Archer.

A sense of deadly coldness emitted from Jack's body.

The temperature of the hall was as if dropping to the freezing point.

Archer's fine hair was erected instantly when he met Jack's sight. He was stiff and shocked.

When Archer met Jack's sights, he felt that the person he faced was not an alive person but a cruel killer. His fear scattered around his entire body like the weeds.

Just then.

Everybody in the hall could feel Jack's changes, they were dumbfounded and did not dare to speak.

They kept silent for three seconds.

Jack laughed suddenly.

He stared at Archer, shrugged and stretched his hand, "Uncle is telling that I am a bastard. I am not clear about the rules in this banquet. Grandma asks me to eat, then I eat. If I know the rule earlier and know that every senior will react strongly, I will not eat definitely as a junior."

Silent.

A deadly silent scene.

Jack's voice with teasing reverberated in everyone's ears.

Everyone was frozen.

Mr. Ward and Brent looked at each other and opened their eyes big.

Young master...was so awesome!

His words made others speechless.

Young master indeed did not know about the rule. Everyone was on the scene, no one reminded him. Why did they blame young master for eating it?

Out of the blue, Mr. Ward and Brent were clear about the reason why Jack could stay calm all day.

In fact, young master...was confident!

It was a fact.

After Jack said the words, the smile on the face of Madam Hughes and Carter Hughes was faded immediately.

While other people felt like they were pinched by a transparent big hand at the moment that caused them speechless.

How could they put the blame him now?

Everyone was speechless.

But Jack did not want to stop talking.

He looked at Madam Hughes and held both of his fists together. He acted guiltily and said, "Sorry, grandma, I am a bastard. A bastard cannot adapt to a better environment, I don't know the rules and etiquette of the Hughes Family. Grandma takes the food for me first, you're doting me. I am haughty of your love and eat the food straight away. Then, every senior and junior is discontented. Grandma, please make a smart decision and punish me."

After he said that, everybody showed a dull expression.

Only Mr. Ward and Brent showed a brighter sight.

His words were not only proving that he was ignorant, he also proved that who was exactly the first one to initiate the mistake. He defeated Madam Hughes instantly.

Although Jack was showing his inferior side in his words, Mr. Ward and Brent treated his words differently.

Young master's words...were awesome!

It was not an advantage to embarrass others with words.

It was only an advantage when others could find the vulnerability in the words and attacked back.

"You..."

Madam Hughes changed her expression. She was furious when she looked at Jack who looked guilty.

"Madam..."

Archer saw Jack showing his inferior status, he was exhilarated and wanted to give Jack a harsh punishment.

But Madam Hughes showed a strict expression.

Her sights were sharp, she stared at Archer angrily.

"I take the fish to Jack, he has said that he is not clear about the rule. I am wrong in this matter, do you want to punish me as well?"

Archer reacted, "..."

He was dumbfounded, his face was flushed and as red as the colour of the liver.

"Sit down, have our meal!"

Madam Hughes did not want to bother Archer. She took the food and put it in her mouth. She chewed it severely.

She did not mind Archer being the troublemaker and targeted Jack. Instead, she was happy with that.

But she definitely disagreed when the trouble stroke her!

The incident passed fast like a small episode.

The banquet started, a variety of sights rested on Jack.

Some felt discontented, some praised him, some were insidious...

Jack could feel the sights clearly but he stayed calm and ate calmly.

Meanwhile, he followed others to propose a toast.

He was waiting!

Madam Hughes held the banquet for him purposely. If only an episode designed during the banquet, it was a humiliation for Madam Hughes.

The atmosphere in the hall was awkward.

The people proposed a toast to each other in front of the table, they smiled while chit-chatting.

But the air was extremely solemn as if it were frozen.

In front of the small table.

Killian Hughes and the other juniors ate quietly. George Hughes had an impulsive temperament, he was discontented when he recalled the scene that happened just now. He said softly to Killian, "Killian, the bastard is good in quibbling. He manages to make everyone embarrass on the spot."

Killian pushed his spectacles above his nose, he swung the wine glass but his sights focused on the wheelchair below Jack evilly and sinisterly.

He sneered and muttered, "What are you worrying? Grandma will take revenge on him, it is a golden opportunity!"

"Everybody, please keep silent for a while. I have something to say during this banquet."

Finally, Madam Hughes who showed a dull face while eating put down the chopstick. Her sharp sights went through everyone.

Jack was startled.

Finally... was she going to raise difficulty on him?☐☐☐☐☐☐
