Winner Takes All novel Chapter 48

After returning home, Jack did not rest.

He brought Brent to a nearby park and continued the harsh training.

His first battle made him learn a lot of things, also made him realize his shortcomings.

Jack was not someone who would be content with his current state. He would always seek for improvement.

Since he was a kid, he was given the bad name-- “illegitimate child” but still he improved himself step by step until where he was that day.

He knew that he would need to give more to earn more.

He wanted to beat George, so he must work a thousand time more than George.

Even to the point where he would risk his life.

Only hardworking people would be excellent. Excellence would never favor anyone, including geniuses.

At the same time.

DT Hotel, in the presidential suite room.

George stared at Josh in silence.

In the room, the air had seemed to freeze.

Josh was over cautious. He just stood there without the guts to make any noise.

Amber secretly changed the announcement in EnRich Company’s official website, which had created an opening for Jack in the city.

He couldn’t change it. Therefore, he had to return the thing to George at that place.

“Ha!”

George sneered. He stared at the bank card on the table, “Mr. Ellis, you took the money and didn’t do anything. Now you’re returning the money, are you joking with me?”

Josh’s expression changed. He hurriedly explained, “Jack, I, I’m not joking… I’m actually being controlled too. My boss’ daughter came to handle the company, so I became the vice president. She was the one who changed the announcement.”

He did not dare to conceal anything.

George’s existence was like a mystery for him.

He didn’t know how powerful George was, but he absolutely wouldn’t dare to provoke him.

“Your boss’ daughter?”

George’s eyes darkened, “I did not expect it.”

He’s forgiven?

Josh sighed at heart.

Right after, he glanced at the seat beside him.

He had been in that room for almost half an hour. He literally stood there since then.

“Sit down.” George said.

After Josh sat down, George asked again, “What kind of person is your boss? Once his daughter came, he just made you as the former boss lose control?”

“I, I actually almost never seen my boss. He does a large industry… This EnRich building materials company exists for his keepsake. He rarely visits the company.”

Josh laughed awkwardly, “This time, Amber and Jack were friends in the university. She probably did it because they were friends.”

George’s eyebrows raised, “Do you have Amber’s picture?”

Josh was dumbfounded and he hesitated for a while.

With a suddenly firm gaze, “Yes.”

He answered while taking his phone out and searched for Amber’s picture.

He took that picture secretly when he was in the company.

For Amber, he had something else in mind.

He then understood that George probably had something else in mind too.

He chose George because he wanted to use that chance to get close with George.

If he stayed in EnRich, he would be a CEO at max. But if he wanted to enter the boss circles, it would probably never happen.

George’s appearance showed a shortcut for him.

When George saw Amber’s picture in the phone… Even if he had seen countless women, his eyes still lit up because Amber was stunning.

George spoke without hesitation, “Make me an appointment with her.”

Josh’s eyelids twitched involuntarily, but he quickly calmed down and nodded, “Okay, I’ll try my best.”

“I don’t want your best, you must get her for me!”

With a firm tone, George picked up the bank card from the table and threw it to Josh, “I’m not used to taking back the money I have given.”

After speaking, he waved at Josh to let him leave.

After leaving the hotel, Josh slowly snapped out of it.

He had wanted to have his wonderful fate and benefit from his intimacy with Amber in the company.

But George’s reaction left him with no choice.

With his insight he had trained for years, how could he not understand George’s mind?

Josh took a deep breath and murmured, “A great man just be ruthless… Amber, don’t blame me for this!”

…

The next morning.

When Amber came to the company Josh immediately entered the office.

“Amber.”

Josh called her.

Amber frowned, “What’s wrong?”

Josh did not leave a single good impression on Amber.

Especially when Josh defaulted and insisted on boycotting DT, Josh only left her with disgust.

“Uh, do you have some time tonight?”

Josh rubbed his hands, “I want to treat you to dinner as my apology.”

“Yeah, I got it. I accept your apology.” Amber opened the document and coldly said, “But the dinner is not necessary .”

Josh suddenly got anxious.

Right when he wanted to say something…

Amber waved her hand instead, “Go out first, I still have to follow-up the materials supply for DT.”

That sentence made Josh unable to speak, he had no other choice than dejectedly leaving the office.

After returning to his office, Josh’s expression sunken.

“Thud, thud”, his knuckles lightly knocked the table.

After quite some time, he squinted and murmured, “Really, you have to force me?”

DT Company.

Jack was busy when he received a message from Amber .

“Mr. Hughes, do you have time tonight? Let’s have a dinner together.”

“Okay.”

Jack just answered with a word before smiling.

Right when he wanted to put his phone down, there’s another message notification.

After seeing the message sender, Jack frowned. He felt sick of it.

It’s from Katherine.

The message was simple, she wanted to have a talk with him.

Jack ignored it. He had nothing to discuss with Katherine anymore.

Everything had ended.

As for him and Amber, was it necessary for him to explain it to Katherine?

Before he put his phone down, there were two continuous message notifications.

One was from Katherine.

“If you don’t want to talk to me, I’ll go to your company!”

Those words were clearly threatening him.

However, the Parry family probably didn’t know that he already became DT’s boss at that time.

Katherine clearly regarded him as DT’s vice president from her words.

Coming to the company for their talk meant she’s going to create a chaos.

While the other message was from Shirley.

“Mr. Hughes, will you have dinner at my place tonight?”

Jack helplessly rubbed his nose and rolled his eyes.

He suddenly smiled.

Then he replied Katherine.

“Okay, see you at Pisces restaurant tonight.”

Right after, he sent another message to Shirley.

“Okay, but I’m not going to your place. I’m treating you to Pisces restaurant.”

He put his phone down and smiled in satisfaction.

Pisces restaurant was a restaurant with a nice surroundings. Seeing the night view by the river, it’s a place where people like to go for a date.

But no one knew, how it would look like when the two sisters-in-law meet?
