It was dead silent in the living room and tension was suffocating. Everyone felt helpless and hopeless.

Jack never felt this sad and like a drowning man with no hope of being hugged. It was as if he had already been locked with a guillotine and waited for the blade to fall. There was no way to dodge and fighting was useless. He could only prepare his neck for execution.

Phone's ringing.

Jack looked at his phone and his eyes lit up. The caller was his father! Maybe. There is hope! Jack answered the call.

In the call, Patrick's charming voice is very serious, "I know everything except the old woman protecting Ivy. I cannot use the power of the Hughes family to suppress social media opinions. What the hell are you thinking? I'll try to help you."

Jack laughed bitterly as Patrick asked for a plan. Even his father asked if he knew what to do. That clearly means that this is out of control.

Usually these rumors and rumors were nothing among the rich families. Once the gossip started, as long as the Hughes family's prowess was activated, it could easily suppress the discussion.

But this time it's different.

Opinions and discussions have surged relentlessly and in a short period of time have spread throughout social media. In addition, Madam Hughes supports Ivy and restricts the Hughes family to help suppress social media.

"Madam Hughes and Ivy must have been looking at their phones with glee" Jack thought.

Patrick said, "Jack, I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

"Dad, it's okay. Let me think about it. If there's a will, there's a way." Jack replied.

Patrick is willing to send Madam Hughes to her death. If it could help Jack, Patrick would've done it. But the problem is huge and Patrick can't stop it.

"Let's handle this together and I'll do everything I can to help you." Patrick cheered Jack up, "With me, nothing can destroy you!"

After the call ended, Jack's gaze sparkled.

Although Mr. Ward and the others do not know the details of Jack's call with Patrick, from Jack's expression, they know that the situation is bad.

"mastering." Mr. Ward said softly.

"Don't worry, there will be a way out. Let's take it step by step." Jack stretched his body and pretended to relax and patted his stomach, "Is there anything to eat at home? I'm hungry."

"I'll cook breakfast." Amelia went to the kitchen.

"Thank you, Amelia." Jack smiled and then looked at Mr. Ward and shrug, "You guys stop frowning. It's not gonna kill me. I survived even when Madam Hughes and the Quinn family tried to kill me and send me to the black hell that god left behind."

Everyone knew that he was trying to put up a bold front. But Jack could not be bothered with his acting skills right now. He is not someone who gives up easily and he will not wait for his death.

There was always a chance to find a solution, just like when he was in the black hell.

Moreover, he had so many people worrying about him and trying to find a solution for him.

"Well... You and the woman******do it do it?" Yael raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you really did, then at least you got something in return. Ivy is a big celebrity and with that look and body, it's worth it even if you die from it."

"Fuck up!" Jack was not amused and glared at Yael.

"Sigh..." Jack let out a long sigh and looked up guiltily.

In just a day, public opinion had gone berserk to an extremely frightening degree. He was scolded and insulted by everyone. The momentum was as incredible as an unstoppable landslide.

In addition to Jack's status as one of the heirs to the Hughes family, all details are revealed on the internet. Challenging life experiences, a miserable first marriage, sudden transformations, and soaring success. They delve into three years of her failed marriage to Katherine and even trouble with Parry's family and Tommy's marriage.

This makes Jack a 'disguised beast' that many call.

Discussion is like fire. Many will not care what the truth is. Under the leadership of those with vested interests, some commented for the truth while others sought entertainment value. As time went on, the discussion began to heat up.

The next day, some raging Ivy fans went to block the main door of DT and banged it hard. Many of the large corporations controlled by Jack also faced such disruptions.

Drago Real Estate Agency shares fell and stopped trading again, causing Drago to go berserk.

Entertainment company Ciara stopped all work. Big news in the entertainment industry had a big impact on Ciara.

Financial firms Yael and Amelia could barely function. Amelia reports to Jack that the company's guards have seen some unknown people wandering around the office.

What made Jack panic was that Amber's parents knew of the news.

On the second night, Steve makes a long-distance call and interrogates Jack. If it wasn't Amber who stopped her father, Jack would have been destroyed by her father.

On the third day.

The discussion on social media has exceeded anyone's expectations. Ivy's massive fan base erupts and reveals their fearsome fighting abilities. Even some of the rich and powerful began to denounce Jack. The rich and famous also began to talk about this openly.

Ivy never makes a statement when this starts but sometimes, no comment is the best comment. Furthermore, anyone who has experienced what is alleged in the news, will not be bothered to respond to social media.

But this must be playing people's guesses. Even when Jack didn't do anything and stayed at home for these three days. In the eyes of the masses, Jack used his influence and strength to quietly resolve this matter.

Jack practically did not sleep for three days. He monitors social media and listens to reports from the office. He is on the verge of collapse. He was helpless and desperate.

"Sir, it's so late, go and rest." Mr. Ward walked to the open terrace and his heart ached when he saw Jack.

"I'm not tired." Jack shook his head and continued, "Where are Yael and the others? This house is deserted these few days."

"Lone Wolf takes care of DT. Brent and Amelia go to X City to see if they can activate the Quinn family's influence. Yael goes to the Capital in search of the Vaughn and Wattson families. They are leaders in the entertainment industry and have some authority in this field."

Mr. Ward said, "Teacher, rest assured that everyone is working hard to find a breakthrough."

"Will there be one?" Jack laughing.

"Your father must also be looking for a way out for you." Mr. Ward frowned and looked serious. Just as he was about to continue, someone approached and cut him off.

It was the first time in three days that Amber had come out of her room. All the food was delivered to the room by Daisy. He was alone in the room. Amber's night clothes fluttered in the night breeze, her face pale and looking haggard and tired. He looked at Jack and his eyes were red and worried.

He suddenly smiled and said softly, "Hubby, you haven't slept for three days. Rest, I'll think of something for you."
