The Winner Takes Everything
I Finally Did It My Own

Katherine went back home. Wet from head to toe, she was terrified.

As soon as he entered the house, his parents and younger brother Tommy all stood up.

"You're finally back." Elissa growled, "Why are you angry? We had just arranged a blind date for you" Katherine flinched slightly as she looked at Elissa in shock, "Mom, do you know what happened?"

"I knew. Tommy told me about it"

Elissa pointed at Tommy, but the next words finally made Katherine cry, "What if you are touched? It was a blind date anyway. You'd be a big help to us if you didn't end up like this tonight. If your date is a success, Tommy doesn't have to worry about the dowry anymore"

"Mom, what do you think of me as?" Katherine howled with tears in her eyes.

Kieran's face darkened as he glared at Elissa, "What kind of empty tooth are you spouting in front of our children?"

"She's my daughter. Why can't I criticize him?" Elissa became cynical as she placed her hands on her waist, "Since she has ruined her blind date, what should we do with Tommy's dowry? Can't I criticize him because he can't even help his younger brother?"

Elissa finally made Kieran speechless.

Katherine could feel that Ben had no idea what was going on at the restaurant. When he ran off back then, Tommy probably only heard another version of the scene from Ben.

Frustrated, he would explain clearly to them what had happened.

"Katherine, are you helping me or not?"

Tommy suddenly shouted loudly, "After all, I am your younger brother. If you don't help me, I won't be able to marry Shirley. My life will be meaningless. I'd rather die!"

"If Tommy dies, we don't want to live anymore!"

Elissa interrupted while wailing to herself.

In an instant, the entire family was in a disaster.

When her younger brother and mother threatened to kill themselves, Katherine could only plop down on the floor and scream loudly while pulling her hair.

"Katherine, let me advise you. Since your mother and younger brother are in such a sorry state, as sisters, you somehow have to endure." Kieran started off in earnest, "Although your blind date Ben isn't your type, you shouldn't have run away after he touched you a bit, right?"

"Dad... Katherine was feeling very sad at this moment.

Is it just a little bit? She basically treated me as a whore!

He was well aware of the fact that his explanation would be useless no matter how hard he tried.

Suddenly, he remembers Jack's message, and he decides to give it a last chance. He started off in a hoarse voice, "Dad, why didn't Dad buy Tommy a house in West Shantytowns?

The value may soon rise, and Tommy's dowry can be done!

Kieran's face turned dark.

Elissa immediately scolded, “You are crazy? Buy

a house in West Shantytowns? It was a slum and rural area full of foreign workers. How can the price go up? I'd be retarded if I decided to buy a house there!"

"Sister, are you crazy? West Shantytowns is a messy residential area, Shirley will never agree we buy a house there," joked Tommy, "We are siblings bound by real blood, who is a, so you can't think of anything that's gonna hurt me, right?"

Tears covered Katherine's eyes. He bit his lips so hard that it almost bled.

He knew very well what kind of place the West Shantytowns were. He begins to doubt the authenticity of Jack's message.

However, this is the best solution at the moment.

Since the price of the house in West Shantytowns was relatively low, he could make up for Tommy's dowry with the rest of the money if he bought a house there.

Does he really have to sell himself?

"Enough! Shouldn't you guys stop your bullshit?

You're making a mess in our house!"

Kieran could not stand their antics anymore as he loudly reprimanded them, "If there was no other way now, we would find something later"

"Then can you find something? You're just a teacher who can't spend a huge amount of money at all on our Tommy wedding. Or, do you want your bloodline to end up in his generation?"

Elissa replied while giving him a push. Kieran's face turned pale hearing those words.

Kieran is a teacher who strongly believes that man's greatest sin is to break his lineage in the future.

This is an act that is very contrary to one's belief about filial piety. If this happened to her, it would be more torturous than asking her to kill herself.

Kieran nervously stroked her hair while slapping her cheeks, "Then, I'll borrow money from some old friends. I think I'll be able to raise enough money for the dowry."

"Do you think you don't need to return the money you plan to borrow?" Elissa shouted at him.

Katherine's face was very pale as she looked at her mother. Suddenly, he felt very dizzy for some reason.

Indeed, they needed to return whatever they had borrowed.

However, does that mean his mother would rather let him sell his body?

….

The next morning, Kieran came out to borrow money.

She was very bothered by what happened last night, but Elissa's words made her dizzy. He had no choice but to throw away his dignity to borrow money from his friends.

Katherine did not fall asleep all night and her eyes were swollen as she cried. But he forced himself to work as usual.

During her marriage, she never acted like a housewife. He can secure himself an easy job like a front desk. He could only make three thousand yuan a month.

Jack would always take care of household expenses, so he just needed to take care of himself.

However, things are different after he divorces Jack.

Just these three thousand yuan he had to cover his expenses.

After last night, Katherine was still a little confused. He sobbed slightly as he pulled out his phone to post a tweet: In the end, I did everything myself.

Soon, she got a lot of encouraging likes and comments, which made her less frustrated.

Jack looked at his tweet and found it sad.

He put down his phone and continued to work on the renovation project of West Shanty City. The news will be revealed tonight, so he can't make a mistake.

In the blink of an eye, it was already six in the afternoon

People are watching TV news when there is a short announcement.

"YK Group has announced their plans to build a massive commercial square in the center of West Shantytown in a bid to boost the local economy. We'll keep up with the following news."

A short news like that, some amazing information was revealed.
