The Winner Takes Everything
Amber Knight's

Jack nodded back. There were no signs of wavering in his eyes.

His mother was everything to him.

Even if he had another chance, he would still divorce Katherine.

Katherine's willing to support a loser like Tommy, but not him.

"Enough!"

Suddenly, Shirley shook Tommy's hand. "You're overreacting, Tommy! Apologize to Jack right now!"

Booms!

The arrogant Tommy was stunned.

"Shirley, why are you so angry? And why should I apologize? I didn't do anything wrong!"

Shirley's face boiled over, "You're insolent with Jack! I won't let you treat her like this."

Shirley became angry for two reasons. First, he wants to stop Tommy from continuing to taunt Jack, as Jack might expose him to the show that night if Tommy makes him angry.

Second, she actually likes Jack, and tries to leave a good impression on him.

Tommy did not understand. "Bad? He's divorced my sister. I drove this fancy car and greeted him. I've shown my respect to him."

Greet?

Honoring?

Shirley went crazy. How stupid Tommy is to talk like this!

He always knew he was a loser, mama's boy.

Now only he knew he was not only useless, but also stupid!

Shirley roared at Tommy, "Who do you think you are? You think you're great just because you drive a fancy car? You're just a loser!"

Tommy was really confused. This was the first time Shirley had attacked him like this since they had gathered!

What happened next really shocked his mind.

Shirley turned to Jack with a bow and said very humbly, "Sorry, Mr. Hughes, I didn't know he would act that way. I think he just wanted to introduce you to me. I'm sorry on his behalf"

"Are you crazy, Shirley? Why are you apologizing to him?" tommy said he didn't believe it

Shirley ignored him.

Jack shrugged with a smile, "It seems like none of my business is here. All right, I gotta go."

As Jack leaves, Shirley becomes so upset that she glares at Tommy with clenched teeth.

"Shir's... Shirley, you..." Tommy finally regained consciousness.

The slap!

Before Tommy could finish his sentence, Shirley slapped him in the face. "Basic stupid! He's the client I just told you about!"

Bang out!

Tommy was stunned as if he was struck by lightning in broad daylight

As Shirley got back in the car, she hurriedly followed Back into the car, Tommy still could not believe it.

"Shirley, you must be wrong. How did Jack become your client? He is just a poor village man. My family needs money for your dowry, right? He divorced my sister just because my sister gave my family 200 thousand yuan.

She told my sister to return the money for her mother's hospital expenses

"How could he be rich because he did such a thing?"

Shirley was boiling with anger.

'Even animals have feelings. Your family robbed him of the money he'd use to save his mother, and you expect him to live with your sister?"

However, he did not want to waste time arguing with Tommy. He simply said through his gritted teeth, "He's really rich."

He then looked at the hospital with deep thought.

Tommy was stunned to hear Shirley's words.

He sneered, "That's impossible. He's just a village pumpkin. He can't be rich. Otherwise, he wouldn't have divorced my little sister because of that 200 thousand yuan."

He was completely speechless to Tommy's strange perception.

Is it really only about 200 thousand yuan?

...****************...

Jack doesn't mind meeting Tommy.

All of his focus was on the West Shantytowns renovation project.

This is a chance for him to prove himself to his father whom he has never met.

This was also the first time he could show everyone what he had gotten.

The contract with a sky-high price of 300 thousand yuan was a disaster for DT Agency.

Everyone in the agency knew what would happen with such a huge loss.

The company was enveloped by a nervous atmosphere that Jack could easily feel when he arrived at the agency the next day.

People dive into their work as usual. But they are no longer relaxed. Everyone was quiet strangely.

Frustrated, Jack went straight to the office.

He understood that they did not leave while knowing about the loss of the contract, because they trusted him with everything they had.

But their trust did not even ease his worries.

He could not expect them to be as relaxed as he was.

"They can smile the day after tomorrow" Jack said firmly.

As long as Mr. Ward helps him get through this, Jack will be very confident to turn things around. Not only would they avoid losses in the Western Shanty City renovation project, but they would also make a lot of money!

Jack was communicating with his client over the phone when he came across a message from his old friend that he had not replied to the night before.

That's simple. "How are you?"

After a few seconds, he replied with a bitter expression on his face. "I'm fine"

The friend immediately continued. "I'll be back next month after finishing my business here. It's been three years since we last met"

In a trance, Jack gets caught up in his thoughts and mutters a girl's name, "Amber Knight..."

This girl was a bridesmaid at her wedding to Katherine three years ago. He went abroad soon after, and they have not been in contact since then

Everything changed after three years. The old friend told her that she would also return, but she had already divorced Katherine.

jack chuckled mockingly, "Alright." He put down the phone and continued his work.

Across the ocean, it was midnight.

In the spacious room echoed the soothing piano music.

A faint fragrance filled the room.

A beautiful silhouette leaned against the giant French window. The graceful young lady was looking into the distance with a gentle smile, when someone knocked on the door.

"Amber, are you sure you'll be back next month?" A hoarse voice came.

"Yes" Amber nodded with a smile. "That's three years dad. I want to go back and look around"

"But there's dinner next month. I want you to go with me so I can introduce you to some young man. You need more friends at your age, you know,"

Amber frowned, "Who are you, dad? Roosevelt Family? Or the prince of the oil tycoon family?"

"Both!" his father replied in a deep voice.

“Not interested.” Amber refused.

....

On the other hand, there was a fierce disagreement at Katherine's house.

"I'm not leaving, mom! I'll never leave!" katherine shouted with puffy eyes.

The room is a mess, though,

Bang out!
