Winner Takes All novel Chapter 88

Amber’s change in tone made Jack elated.

Perhaps…there was a turnaround in their relationship tonight!

Jack did not hesitate to agree.

He was feeling tormented the whole afternoon.

Jack got off work early and rushed to Genting restaurant.

This was the place where Amber and he had agreed to meet on the phone.

Soon, Amber’s figure appeared at the entrance of Genting restaurant.

Jack’s eyes lit up, and he got up to wave, “Amber.”

Amber smiled and walked quickly towards Jack, “Didn’t we agree to meet at 7:00 pm?”

“I wanted to come and wait for you.”

Jack smiled and said, “You also came early.”

“I also wanted to come early and wait for you.” Amber was full of smiles and was no longer as cold as the previous times they met.

This made Jack’s heart and mind calm.

After ordering the dishes, the two of them chatted.

The happy atmosphere made Jack felt like he was back in the time when Amber had just returned to China, automatically ignoring the previous meetings.

After the dishes were served, the two of them ate and chatted at the same time.

Jack was happy because Amber was also happy.

However, Amber’s words instantly calmed Jack down.

“Jack, I have to go abroad in the next few days.” Amber said, “To visit my parents.”

Jack’s heart thudded, pretending to be calm and said, “Why do you have to go abroad suddenly?”

Amber was a little helpless, shrugged her shoulders and smiled bitterly, “It’s because you’re too high-profile?”

Jack froze for a moment.

Then he reacted, “Is it the Dragon Garden confession?”

“Mm.”

Amber rubbed his hair irritably, “It’s not all because of you, but also the reason I dismissed Josh Ellis. Josh is the person my father arranged to maintain the business at EnRich building materials company. But once I arrived at EnRich building materials company, the matter that involved Josh occurred, which made my father concern again, and then found out that you confessed to me.”

“This afternoon, an oversea phone call over, wanted me to go back.”

This made Jack’s head spun.

He did not expect that the Dragon Garden confession would attract the attention of Amber’s parents, who were oversea.

After thinking about it, Jack said, “How about I go with you?”

“What are you thinking?” Amber said.

Jack shrugged, “The son-in-law has to meet his parents-in-law, right?”

Amber’s eyes flashed, and her eyebrows lowered slightly, “Forget it, I’ll go over and explain to them first, let’s wait and see for the rest.”

Jack looked dumbfounded and smiled bitterly, “Then, okay, when will you leave?”

“Tomorrow morning’s flight.” Amber said.

“Then I’ll send you to the airport tomorrow.” Jack squeezed out a smile.

Amber’s expression changed for a moment and nodded, “Alright.”

A meal was finished.

Amber drove straight home.

Jack walked on the street, the night’s wind blew, but his heart was a little bitter.

He thought that Amber had forgiven him.

But Amber just said “take a step and see a step”, it was clear that she had not let go of the last Genting restaurant incident.

However, he did not pursue the root of the matter.

Sometimes, the world of adults to get to the bottom of a matter too much would even cause friend relationships to be broken.

Raising his hand, he stopped a cab.

Jack leaned back on the seat after getting in, looking out the window at the night scene, dazed.

Amber came back when he was very miserable.

In his heart, Amber had already unbiased his mother long ago.

Now Amber’s departure was as if the heart had suddenly been taken away a part of it, leaving the heart empty.

Back at the TM Villa District.

In the living room, the lights were bright.

Sophie Burton, Mr Ward, Brent and Daisy Hill were all there.

Watching the TV and chatting idly.

Jack smiled, and his expression was no longer as depressed as it was just now.

The scene in front of him was the feeling of home.

“Mother, Mr Ward, what are you guys talking about?”

Jack smiled and walked over.

“Jack, came back so late again, have you eaten?” Sophie’s mouth was complaining, but her eyes were full of distressed

And Jack also saw that his mother’s eyes were a little red; obviously she had just cried.

“I ate, I ate outside with Amber.” Jack did not ask more questions.

Since Mr Ward had arrived, the two had considered met for the first time just now.

Talking about the past, caused the mother’s eyes to turn red, and it was reasonable.

“Where is Amber?”

Sophie looked behind Jack and pretended to be disappointed, “Such a good girl, why didn’t you bring her home at night?”

Jack froze for a moment, then reacted and rolled his eyes, “Mother, how come I didn’t find you so facetious before?”

A sentence caused the four people to laugh out loud.

Jack also laughed.

Sitting together, chatting for a while.

Jack then went back to his room first.

Lying on the bed, he did not feel like sleeping and looked at the ceiling, pondering over the things that Mr Ward had said at noon.

He had, after all, thought of the Hughes family too simply before.

Although his father, whom he had never met, was the head of the Hughes family, he did not hide the truth from the masses in the Hughes family after all.

And his father’s birth would certainly be the crux of Madam Hughes to stop his father.

However, he is not too concerned about this.

DT real estate currently, as long as all the pre-sales of the West Shantytown properties, he had full confidence, with the help of this favourable situation, to skyrocket.

Even without the help of the Hughes family secretly, he is fearless.

Bastard and elite, really is not an insurmountable barrier!

What Jack cared about is, what happened back then!

According to what Mr Ward said, father had already become the number one person in the Hughes family at the age of 20 back then, and it would not be too much to say that he was talented and capable of influencing others.

Why did he be together with my mother?

Why after leaving, the foundation left behind disappeared?

He did not believe that his mother would instead work a few jobs every day, living with illness, and abandoned the foundation left by his father.

But Mr Ward words were a direct reference to his mother.

He could not solve such doubts for the time being and could only wait for a suitable opportunity to ask his mother.

The answer was in his mother’s heart.

In a trance, Jack thought of Amber again, and his mood was once again melancholy.

An original peaceful day, but because of Mr Ward’s return, Amber’s departure, let him once again become moody.

At this moment, the phone rang.

Jack frowned, picked up the phone to see, immediately froze.

It was Aiden Lott calling!

It was so late, why was Aiden calling?

Puzzled, Jack picked up the phone, “Mr Lott, what can I do for you?”

“Jack, are you free tomorrow night? Let’s get together, as well as let me be a peacemaker.” Aiden said smilingly.

Jack frowned, “What peacemaker?”

Aiden curbed his laughter and said in a deep voice, “Tomorrow’s banquet, Drago Chou will also come, and I know you and his resentment, so I want to settle it. To do business, contradiction should be solved.”

Jack raised his eyebrows and hesitated.

Last time, because of Brent and Daisy, he and Drago quarreled.

Not to mention other things, he stabbed Drago’s thigh with a knife.

This revenge, with Drago’s character, he definitely would not let it go. The only thing that could be done was probably no longer be entangled with him.

There was no room for peace!

However, Aiden had helped him before, and he did not want to shame him, so he still nodded and answered, “Alright, what time tomorrow, I will be there.”

“Eight o’clock at night!”

On the other hand, Aiden hung up the phone.

Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he looked at the person in front of him with a smile, “Tomorrow night, you will be able to meet him.”
