Winner Takes All novel Chapter 136

Jack Hughes, who was exhausted, had a very deep sleep.

The next morning, his mother brought his breakfast to the bedside and woke him up.

Looking at the breakfast in front of him, he smiled, “Mom, I am no longer a kid, why do you still bring it for me?”

Sophie Burton laughed and said, “You are forever a kid to Mom.”

Jack laughed and ate breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, he got up, brushed his teeth, got ready, and walked downstairs.

Mr. Ward and Brent were watching the morning news in the living room.

After seeing Jack, Mr. Ward waved his hand and gave a weird smile, “Young master, watch this news. It is quite interesting.”

Jack was curious and he walked towards him. After watching the news, he was shocked, “Aiden bought a land in West Shantytown too?”

“Isn’t it interesting?” Mr. Ward smiled weirdly.

Jack shook his head, “What an old fox! He is building himself another leverage.”

Brent asked in confusion, “Young master, Mr. Ward, what does that mean?”

Mr. Ward explained patiently, “Last time Aiden changed to Killian’s side and he was considered to oppose young master. Then, he withdrew the building material and betrayed them again.”

Mr. Ward pointed at the TV news as he said, “This time, he bought the land right after Drago real estate agency clearly showed that they want to give young master a hand. Now, he should be confused about the situation of the Hughes family. That’s why he bought a land.”

“First, he shows that he, too, is willing to give young master a hand. Secondly, such a small land couldn’t make a huge difference, if Killian looks into it, he couldn’t do anything too.”

Brent frowned and felt unhappy, “This old fox, he really planned well.”

“Let’s go, we are going to the company now.”

Jack said and walked outside.

Brent quickly followed him. These days he had to stay close to Jack since what happened yesterday.

Mr. Ward closed his eyes and smile coldly while watching the TV news, “Wanted to take both sides? I am afraid he would lose more for being this greedy!”

The news was spread in the city again after Aiden Lott bought land in West Shantytowns.

The fact that Drago real estate agency bought the land in West Shantytowns had surprised everyone.

Now, the first and second real estate companies in the city were doing the same thing.

Smart people would know that these were done to help Jack’s DT real estate agency from the danger.

Those who wanted to cancel the purchase of the houses started hesitating.

The first and second real estate companies in the city bought the land at the same time meant there was still a possibility of development of West Shantytowns and the house price would not drop dramatically. If they did not cancel the purchase of the houses, they would still earn when West Shantytowns was developed.

Obviously, a lot of people still didn’t change their mind to cancel the purchase of the houses.

You were kidding!

Even with the top two real estate companies in the city combined together, they were still not that strong compared to YK Group.

YK Group was the top in the industry!

In the mind of those buyers who wanted to cancel the purchase of the house, the house price of the West Shantytowns would definitely drop dramatically and it was possible to drop back to its original price since YK Group had delayed the project.

None of the real estate companies in the city could save the market and DT real estate agency!

DT real estate agency would bankrupt in this disaster. How couldn’t they cancel the purchase if their buildings would be half-done later?

Public opinions were abnormally loud within these two days.

Some people even said that DT real estate agency only promised to cancel the purchase of the houses in order to make time for them to run away!

This made those jittery people surround DT real estate agency again.

However, Jack didn’t act carelessly as he had asked his special staff to tell those people to leave.

He could promise to cancel the purchase of the houses without any hesitation.

That did not mean he was a pushover who could be bullied when facing difficulty!

Time had passed quickly and it was the day that Jack had promised the buyers to settle their contracts.

The four sales centers were repaired and recovered speedily in three days.

Early in the morning, there was a long queue in front of each sales center.

Such a sight had never happened before!

There were more people compared to the advanced sales of the three buildings last time!

Obviously, there was a lot of media reporting on such a grand occasion.

“Sir, do you really want to cancel the purchase of the houses?”

A female reporter with a camera randomly interviewed a man who was queuing to cancel his purchases.

“Then should I keep it until the new year?”

The female reporter smiled and asked, “What made you decide to cancel the purchase of the houses? Two real estate companies in the city had bought land in the West Shantytowns and the house price…”

Without waiting for the female reporter to finish her words, the agitated man said, “How could those two real estate companies compare to YK Group? Are you kidding me? Without YK Group, the house price of the West Shantytown would definitely drop dramatically. If the boss of DT real estate agency is willing to refund us, why don’t we cancel the purchase of the houses?”

The female reporter was a little awkward and she asked, “This was the first time that so many buyers want to cancel the purchase of the houses in our city. This may cause DT real estate agency to bankrupt. What do you think about it?”

The man smiled coldly, “I don’t even care if DT real estate agency bankrupts as long as my money is still with me!”

At that moment.

Someone in the front line shouted, “The sales centers are opened!”

Suddenly, the people in the queue rushed towards the sales centers like a swarm of bees.

The female reporter grabbed the man and still wanted to interview him. Yet, the man shook off her hand harshly.

“Why are you so troublesome? I am in a rush to cancel the purchase of the houses. Stop being in my way!”

The female reporter staggered and fell on the ground. Her arm had an abrasion and it was bleeding.

Those who wanted to cancel the purchase of the houses nearby rushed into the sales centers while scolding the female reporter.

“Hey you little girl, why are you in my way? Get out of my way and stop blocking!”

“It’s fine to interview people. But you have gotten in my way, you deserve to fall down.”

…

Early in the morning, every media in the city had set themselves up in front of all four sales centers of DT real estate agency.

There were more people compared to the advanced sales of the Dragon Garden last time!

It seemed that DT real estate agency was indeed going to fall soon.

Everyone was talking about DT real estate agency.

Mockery, scolding, and bad-mouthing from the public were everywhere.

From these rants, the house price of the West Shantytowns fell by 20 percent in the same day!

Jack meant to let DT real estate agency refund every single money to the house buyers. Even the tax for purchasing the house was paid by DT real estate agency!

These moves were extremely stupid in everyone’s eyes!

Drago Chou and Aiden Lott were extremely shocked after knowing all these.

Had Jack … really gone crazy?

In DT real estate agency.

Corbin Koch looked at the data sent from the four sales centers. His heart bled, his hands trembled, and his face turned pale, “Jack, our company’s money went out fast!”

“Oh, it’s fine. I will transfer some money into the company’s account.”

Jack had a deep look in his eyes. He took out his phone lonely and transferred one billion yuan from Bauhinia bank card into the company’s account.

Although he suffered losses, he had to bear it!

He could afford to lose one billion yuan!

Time was what he concerned the most now!

The cancellation of the purchase of the houses was done until 8 pm.

Everyone in DT real estate agency was in sadness.

All employees became dejected and despondent.

At this moment, it seemed that the sky had fallen!

As they had paid advanced for the project and this large number of cancellations of the purchase of houses, DT real estate agency would bankrupt if Jack hadn’t transferred in 10 billion yuan!

In the office.

Corbin was eyes-teary and he said, “Jack, there are … 70 percent of the cancellation of the purchase of the houses from the advanced sales!”

“It’s fine!”

Jack stretched himself, “If there were more buyers who want to cancel the purchase, let them do it. I still have a billion.”

Corbin wanted to say something, but he stopped himself as he was trying to not let the tears in his eyes fall.

Was this only a refund?

This was making DT real estate agency dying fast!

And what it costed, was more serious than when DT real estate agency was bankrupt back when it signed the sky-high contract!

“Everyone has been busy the whole day. Go home and have some rest.”

Jack was extremely tired and he had bloodshot eyes, “Corbin, help me to tell everyone that even though DT real estate agency might bankrupt, I, Jack, wouldn’t let you all down.”

…

In Four Impressions Club.

Amber Knight was dejected and despondent to watch the videos related to the cancellation of the purchase of the houses of DT real estate agency.

Everyone discussed it online. Some of them were being sardonic.

She felt extremely angry and felt like crying after looking at these. She wanted to call Jack.

However, she knew that Jack was more anxious these days. At this time, following the case silently was giving Jack the best concern. She knew asking another question would pressure Jack more.

She watched a video about a female reporter who was pushed. Some even mentioned that there was 70 percent of the purchases were canceled under the comment box.

Amber complained that Jack was too silly. Didn’t he think about himself at all?

He was the only one who cared about those buyers. Did the buyers even care about him?

Knock!

A knock sounded from the door.

“Amber, can daddy come in?” Steve Knight’s voice sounded.

“Yes.” Amber suppressed her urge to cry and replied.

The door was opened. Steve walked in with a smile, “Amber, do you want to hear a good news?”
