Winner Takes All novel Chapter 40

At this moment, the air seemed to be frozen. It was really embarrassing.

Amber face changed in an instant. She didn’t expect that they would meet Katherine in the hospital.

Jack squinted coldly at the thermos she held as if he recalled something bad.

Over the past three years, Katherine had never worried about Sophie since she was seriously ill. But now she changed her attitude by taking good care of Sophie.

After all, Sophie was Katherine’s mother-in-law before.

However, Jack understood that the Parry family had never regarded him and Sophie as their relatives. Katherine took the money that he intended to use to cure his mother just for Tommy’s down payment of a new house. So it seemed nothing special that she had never worried about Sophie.

Katherine looked at Amber blankly.

If they hadn’t met with each other in the hospital, she wouldn’t have known Amber had come back.

But she just couldn’t accept that Amber was staying with Jack here.

Katherine stepped to Amber and Jack, and asked Amber, "When did you come back? Why don’t you tell me?"

"Katherine, I just came back yesterday," Amber said.

Katherine’s eyes quickly turned red. She raised her finger at Jack’s nose and said to Amber, "So why are you with him?"

"Katherine…" Amber said with a dark face, "You are my friend. So is Jack. After returning home, of course, I must visit Sophie first. It’s normal, right?"

"It’s not normal."

Katherine felt aggrieved with red eyes, but still gritted her teeth and stubbornly kept her head up, "I am your friend. Because of me, you can make friends with Jack."

She felt like she was betrayed by Amber.

Amber returned home, staying with Jack here.

What the hell was that?

"You finished? If you finish, we’re going." Jack said with a cold face. He didn’t even want to argue with Katherine for it was a waste of time.

He took Amber’s hand and wanted to leave.

But when they passed by Katherine, she exploded.

What the hell?

‘Why would the man I divorced be with my former best friend?’

"Let go of your hand!" Katherine shouted as she separated their hands and slapped Jack on his face.

Pa!

"Katherine, are you crazy?"

Shocked, Amber gently fondled Jack’s cheek, "Let’s go. Don’t argue with her."

But Katherine seemed to be crazy. She violently grabbed Amber’s hand.

"Don’t you come to see Sophie? I’m your friend, too. My mom also leaves in here. Why don’t you see my mom?"

Then she dragged Amber to Elissa’s ward violently.

Bang!

Katherine pushed the door open.

Kieran, Elissa and Tommy were all shocked as they saw Katherine crying.

But when seeing Jack holding Amber’s hand, Tommy burst into anger and shouted, "Jack, how dare you bully Katherine? Fuck, I’ll beat you to death."

"Tommy, he bullied Katherine. Beat him hard and kick him outta here." Elissa roared with her face distorted with anger.

Amber was so scared when he saw Tommy coming to her.

Just then Jack came up and dragged Amber behind him. He said angrily to Tommy,

"You’re such a loser. You want to hit me?"

Tommy stopped subconsciously. He was shorter than Jack. And he had been spoiled since he was a child. He didn’t have the gut to fight against Jack.

He pulled Katherine over and asked, "Katherine, does this coward bully you?"

Katherine had been crying for a while. Her face was covered with tears and she couldn’t say something.

This made Kieran and Elissa pissed off.

Elissa picked up the pillow and threw it at Jack.

"Asshole! Jack, you’re a bastard. How can you bully Katherine. What did our family do wrong? Katherine married you, a loser from countryside. She is totally out of your league. How can you treat her like this?" Elissa yelled crazily.

Jack kept silent with a frozen face. He stared at Elissa coldly.

Amber frowned behind Jack and also looked angry.

Jack was a loser?

Katherine was totally out of Jack’s league?

Amber witnessed how Jack and Katherine became a couple. She knew most about them. Elissa’s words were not true.

"Amber, I dodn’t expect that you are such a person. What does Katherine do to you? Why are you bullying her with Jack, a man from countryside?" Elissa screamed violently.

Kieran looked gloomy with angry eyes. It seemed that he wanted to eat Jack and Amber.

Ha!

Jack burst into laughers as he glared at Elissa, "Elissa, are you a dog? Why do you like "biting people" so much? Who is bullying whom? Are you blind?"

"Whom are you talking to? How dare you talk to me like that?" Elissa glared at Jack and shouted.

"I’m talking to you!" Jack said coldly.

In the past, because of Katherine, he was tolerant of the Parry family.

But now that he had divorced Katherine, he wouldn’t put up with the people of the Parry family any more.

"Jack! Shut up! She’s my mother," Katherine yelled and stomped, "You’re a bastard! And you, Amber, you’re a whore. You two have been scheming together for a long time."

She got so pissed, for Amber was her good friend, but she didn’t tell her when she returned home. Instead, she stayed with Jack.

Also, she thought Jack divorced her as he had planned!

And now Katherine was more certain about that.

Amber felt speechless and suddenly became angry.

She walked out and stared at Katherine angrily, "Katherine, I don’t know why you’re so arrogant."

"Arrogant? Right, I am arrogant." Katherine shouted with tears as if she were the most miserable person. She raised her head and pointed at Jack, "He’s a jerk. He’s a loser. He’s the garbage I throw away. Since you are willing to pick up the garbage, just pick it up. I don’t care about it!"

Slap!

Amber gave Katherine a loud slap. Everyone in the ward was stunned.

Amber was a very cultivated person, but she just couldn’t stand it.

"This is for Jack," Amber said coldly.

Jack was surprised.

Then Amber glanced at Kieran, Elissa and Tommy as she sneered, "Why are you so arrogant? Just because you guys live in the city, and you think Katherine is totally out of Jack’s league?"

"Kieran, Elissa, as parents, you only care about Tommy? He is just a NEET. And Katherine just helps him at no cost. You all are freaks!"

Amber’s laughter echoed in the ward.

Amber knew everything about Jack and the Parry family. She felt angry about what they had done to Jack. The Parry family was so rude that she couldn’t bear it anymore as she stood in Jack’s shoes.

She thought Jack was miserable as she kept exploding.

"What did Jack do wrong to your family? He got ranked No.1 when he was in university with a lot of scholarships. He’s excellent.

"After three years of graduation, he became the deputy general manager of the real estate company. What else do you have besides living in the city? You guys are out of Jack’s league.

"Since Jack married Katherine, he have been supporting your family so much. All he earned was taken back to your family by Katherine. She even grabbed the money he used to pay Sophie’s hospital bill just for Tommy to buy a new house? Is he what you guys called a loser?"

A series of questions overwhelmed the Perry family.

Katherine grabbed her hair and shouted, "Shut up, Amber. Jack is just the garbage got dumped by me."

"Ha!" Amber sneered, "Well, seems you don’t need jack. I do!"

Jack looked at Amber in surprise.

"You guys are just bloodsuckers. Does Jack owe you? You guys just take it for granted to keep asking? Even at the cost of Sophie’s life? You guys don’t even feel ashamed? Still hold your heads up here? How ridiculous!"

Amber took Jack’s hand, raised it up, and said with pride, "You don’t want Jack! I do. I am really into him. I just want to be with him. And I tell you guys, with me, Jack will not struggle anymore. I have the ability to help him reach the top of his career and life!"
