Winner Takes All novel Chapter 65

Even Kieran and Tommy were stunned by what Elissa did.

Kieran yanked Elissa, “What are you doing? Isn’t it embarrassing enough?”

Elissa forcefully flung Kieran away and glared at him angrily.

She turned and started to smile again and said warmly, “My good son-in-law, we were wrong in the past. Please be magnanimous and reconcile with Kate. Please don’t abandon my daughter.” She said meekly without the previous haughtiness and shrewdness.

“Abandon?” Katherine murmured. Her mother’s words were like a red hot blade ruthlessly plunging into her heart. She was already devastated and this made her entire world spin.

What did her mother take her for? What did her mother say when she divorced? What was she saying now?

Bang! The call was cut off.

The smiles on Elissa’s face disappeared and she became indescribably stunned. She turned her head and violently grabbed Kieran’s arm, “Damn fool, why did you interrupt me? Why do you interfere with my call to my son-in-law?”

“Have some dignity.” Kieran winced in pain and said.

“Dignity?” Elissa scoffed, “Sure, you want your dignity, then settle your son’s marriage expenses!”

“You…” Kieran was stumped by what she said.

Elissa pointed to the television, “Look at how rich Jack is? He is already the boss of DT Real Estate Agency. DT is now modernizing the western city. Once it is all done, how rich would he become!” Elissa’s eyes glittered as she said.

“Jack likes Kate so much. Once Kate apologizes to him, they will certainly remarry. Then our family will be rich!”

Kieran looked stupefied at Elissa, “This matter had been blown up to such an extent that everyone in the city knows about this. You are still daydreaming expecting the best?”

“Kate is to be blamed for all these!”

Elissa clenched her jaws and looked angrily at Katherine, “Katherine, your foolish actions tarnished our family reputation. Jack is such a good man. What were you thinking when you divorced him?”

“As your mother, I want you to go and apologize to Jack and get him to remarry you!”

Katherine’s eyes were red but she no longer had any more tears to cry. Her mother loved her face value and it was true that this incident had absolutely tarnished the family reputation. But she never expected her mother to disregard the incident of her ruining their reputation but instead, wanted her to apologize to Jack and endeavor to get him to remarry her!

“Mom, what do you take me as? I’m not your tool to be used as you wish. I have my dignity. I was the one who broke off with Jack. Why should I apologize to him and remarry him?” Katherine shouted.

“How dare you talk back to me?” Elissa’s face flushed red in anger and roared angrily, “Katherine, are you trying to drive me towards my grave?” She said as she pretended to struggle with her breathing.

She indeed loved her face value but she loved money even more. Jack was her ex-son-in-law and now that he was so rich, when Katherine and Jack remarried, wouldn’t Jack’s money become hers? With money, they would regain all the reputation that they had lost.

Kieran was terrified when Elissa seemed to struggle with her breathing. Kieran stood up anxiously and tried to calm Elissa, “Don’t get so worked up, watch your heart.”

“Don’t bother with me! My daughter won’t even listen to her mother. I might as well die!” Elissa slapped away Kieran’s hand.

Kieran frowned in pain and said furiously, “Are you blind? Jack proposed to Amber at the launch of Dragon Garden. There is no turning back for them!”

“Piss off!”

Elissa glared her eyes widely and scolded, “How long had Jack and Kate divorced? Last time Jack loved Kate so much and listened to everything Kate said. As long as Kate apologizes, Jack will dump that Amber!”

The commotion was getting rowdy in the house.

Tommy could not tolerate it any further and stepped forward, “Mom, haven’t you realized? How did Jack become so rich so quickly? I already said previously that he must have plotted to divorce Katherine. What’s the use of begging for forgiveness now?”

“Do you still want to get married?”

Elissa frowned and her eyes narrowed, “Who cares if he plotted or not. We must still try. Jack is so rich and we must endure whatever grievances. Once your sister remarries with him, his money will become ours!”

What she said shut Tommy up. His marriage with Shirley was imminent and he needed to settle it urgently. They couldn’t come up with any more money and the only breakthrough was to get it from Jack.

When she saw that Tommy had shut up, Elissa looked furiously at Katherine.

She totally didn’t pay attention to Katherine’s devastated mood and continued with her accusations. “You dumb girl, why didn’t you cherish what you had? Jack was my handsome and capable son-in-law. You were so lucky to be married to him. Why didn’t you cherish him?”

Thump!

Katherine fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

But Elissa didn’t stop and continued to intensify, “Let me tell you this Katherine, if you still want me to live, then go and get Jack back and remarry him. Get my son-in-law back to me, otherwise, you are no longer my daughter!”

Kieran and Tommy looked on helplessly and maintained their silence.

…

On the other end.

They were on their way to Underground Fight Club.

Brent looked at Jack curiously, “Master Hughes, who’s call was that for you to hang up without saying a word?”

“Dracula.” Jack scoffed and said with disgust, “It’s revolting even to say a word.”

Brent’s eyes lit up and understood. He knew about Jack’s past.

He looked forward and said, “Master Hughes, we’ve arrived.”

Jack nodded and before he got out of the car, he took out his cell phone and blacklisted Elissa’s number. The behavior of the Parry family was increasingly disgusting!

He entered Underground Fight Club.

The familiar darkness enveloped him. The eerie punches and grunts greeted his ears. Jack smiled. He was shocked when he came for the first time. But he was much calmer when he came the second time and elevated his fighting skills.

He walked to the metal cage with Brent and there was a bloody fight in the cage. Jack thought nothing of it and nonchalantly put on his white mask and watched quietly at the close-quarters fight. Although actual fighting was the fastest to accumulate fighting experience but observing others' fight was also a manner to increase his skills.

At this moment, a dark shadow closed in towards Jack and Brent. The dark shadow moved swiftly and silently. He raised his right hand and reached out for Jack.

Brent frowned and swiftly turned and grabbed the wrist of the shadow at the nick of time, “Tired of living?”

Jack was startled and turned to see the dark shadow and a chill ran down his spine. He totally didn’t detect someone approaching him from behind!
