Winner Takes All novel Chapter 98

What happened at the DT Agency building was indeed photographed and uploaded online by the onlookers and was causing an uproar.

It was definitely going to affect DT’s reputation.

However, no one took photos of what happened in the Drago’s villa.

With his image salvaging character, he was never going to let his subordinates reveal the story.

Once the equity transfer contract of Drago Real Estate Agency was signed tomorrow with Drago, the public opinion on the internet was going to change itself.

Moreover, Jack was confident that once the news of equity transfer was released, DT’s momentum was going to rise again.

After all, Drago Real Estate Agency was one of the very best in the industry.

Not only that, it was also a listed company.

DT held the West Shantytowns renovation project in its hand and the promotion of such a large-scale project was enough to make the share price of Drago Real Estate rise.

For Jack, it was like killing two birds with one stone.

He didn’t need to worry.

However, he did not tell Corbin about the details, and let him leave after pacifying him a bit.

The protest to force Jack into mourning became more popular online.

The public opinion became more and more against Jack and DT Real Estate Agency.

For most of the day, the employees of DT watched various news online about the incident, panicking all day long.

TM Villa District.

Sophie was watching the news on her phone, frowning, she didn’t look well.

On the screen, there was a picture of Jack among the banners in the protest.

As Jack’s mother, seeing this made her feel like she was being stabbed to death.

Who on earth did Jack even provoke?

How could he be persecuted in this way?

She was upset.

“Ms. Burton, what’s the matter?”

Daisy came over with a plate full of fruit and asked.

“Jack is in trouble.” Sophie sighed and handed the phone to Daisy.

Daisy’s pretty face sank as she glanced at the screen, “How can these people do that to him? Do they have no conscience?”

Her job was given by Jack and the incident last time in Seasky estate, Jack rescued her.

She was very grateful to Jack.

She had worked for such a long time but had never met such a boss.

She also didn’t believe what the news said!

A boss who worked so hard for his subordinates, he could never kill someone.

After calming down, she hurriedly comforted Sophie, “Ms. Burton, don’t worry, this is not official news. This is just made up by people on social media. Mr. Hughes must be fine. Why don’t you call and ask him?”

“Of course, I believe my son!”

Sophie raised her eyebrows and smiled, “I am just angry at the news. Forget about it, Jack must be busy already. I don’t want to call and disturb him; he might get worried about my health.”

At this moment Mr. Ward and Brent entered the room.

“Madam.”

Mr. Ward nodded respectfully to Sophie.

Sophie smiled and said, “Mr. Ward, just call me Sophie. After so many years, I can’t bear you call me Madam.”

He smiled slightly and brought Brent closer, but his eyes had already caught the glimpse of the mobile phone screen.

He smiled and said, “Madam, don’t worry! Master Jack is not afraid of any gossip.”

“I know how he is.” Sophie looked at Mr. Ward with her deep eyes and smiled, “He still has a lot to learn from you, Mr. Ward.”

He nodded lightly.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand motioning Brent and Daisy to retreat temporarily.

After they both had walked out of the room, he asked Sophie meaningfully, “Madam, are you really not going to tell Master Jack?”

Sophie smiled bitterly, “So many years have passed, it’s all in the past. Why bother him?”

Mr. Ward stroked his beard lightly and said in a low voice, “At that time, did you ever think that Master will grow up step by step and show his ability to the full extent in the future?”

Sophie looked startled.

Her eyes flickered a few times and then became dark.

There was silence.

Mr. Ward looked at Sophie with deep eyes and waited quietly.

After a long time.

Sophie’s sigh echoed in the quiet room.

“It was all for him. The year he left, they came to bully us, orphan and widow. I bore it all.”

Her voice was full of indescribable exhaustion and helplessness, “Don’t talk about it for now, I have been a huge burden on Jack, he finally looks a little relaxed.”

“Madam, what ever you have decided is the best.” Mr. Ward smiled helplessly, “I was just worried that your forbearance will make people create problems and be greedy. But nowadays, Master Jack has grown up and I believe those people can no longer create problems.”

……

The night was quiet.

When the sun rose the next morning, a news fell like a bomb on the city.

“Today, Drago Real Estate Agency and DT Real Estate Agency will sign an equity transfer agreement. Drago Real Estate Agency’s CEO Drago Chou said that 60% of Drago Real Estate Agency’s shares will be transferred to DT and Jack Hughes.”

The news broke out and yet again caused a sensation throughout the city.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Yesterday, after the news of protest against Jack broke out, there were many people who worked hard and found out that Drago was behind that protest.

Even at that time, there were some people who bad-mouthed Jack and DT.

But no one had thought that the very next day they were going to see this news.

And 60% shares, it was undoubtedly Drago Chou selling his company!

While speculating, people quickly realized that this was a very critical issue.

Which was, today Jack Hughes was not only the owner of DT Real Estate Agency, but also the owner of Drago Real Estate Agency.

Together, these two companies were number one in the city.

With the press release, the public opinion rose.

The topic about the reconstruction project of West Shantytowns once again became the talk of the town.

With the second largest real estate agency in the city, Drago Real Estate Agency being involved now, no one had any doubt about any risk in the project and it even had a faint upward momentum in popularity.

At the same time, with the West Shantytowns renovation project and Drago Real Estate being under Jack Hughes command, stock prices rose incredibly.

DT was full of celebratory noise the next day.

All the employees were besides themselves with happiness.

The news got everyone by surprise.

Corbin was even more shocked, his heart seemed to be jumping out of his chest with every beat.

Compared to the ordinary employees, he had actually heard Jack’s words yesterday.

“Tomorrow I will sign the agreement, and the housing prices in the West Shantytowns will rise!”

Corbin recalled. Jack said it so calmly but the effect was so thunderous.

He wanted to rush into the office and kneel in front of Jack, worshiping him.

God!

How did he manage to do that?

In the office, he heard comments from the outside as the employees chatted excitedly.

Jack smiled slightly, his right hand on the computer mouse, scrolling lightly.

On the computer screen, the stock price of Drago Real Estate was displayed, increasing impressively.

Only half an hour since the market opened, but the price was continuing to increase.

He owned 60% of the equity of Drago Real Estate, which meant his wealth had also skyrocketed along with the stock price.

However, this joy did not last very long.

A phone call made his expressions look bad in a second.

The call was from… Katherine.
