Winner Takes All novel Chapter 139

When Jack returned home…

His family was already full of joy.

Everyone was full of smiles.

Sophie and his mother were busy setting up a table full of foods and red wine, they clearly wanted to celebrate.

“You guys knew it already?”

Jack hurriedly went home because he wanted to draw up the next plan for DT and he wanted to announce that good news to his family.

“The whole city is in commotion, of course we knew it before that.”

Sophie smiled as she urged, “This time, you unexpectedly found a way out of the predicament, you're very lucky! Stop staring blankly, go and wash your hands.”

“Yes, that's right! Young Master, Madam and Daisy have been busy all evening.” Brent urged.

Jack had just eaten his dinner, but he didn't refuse because everyone was happy. He smiled as he walked into the kitchen, then after he washed his hands, they all sat together harmoniously.

Mr. Ward lifted his glass first with a smile, “There are two simultaneous happy events, congrats!”

When everyone was going to clink their glasses, Jack frowned instead, “Two simultaneous happy events? What’s the other happy event? Aren't we celebrating that my company is saved, QY International getting in helps me stabilize the houses’ price?”

Sophie and the others glanced at each other and smiled strangely.

Soon after, Mr. Ward put his alcohol glass down, got up, and said, “Young Master, follow me to the other happiness.”

Jack followed Mr. Ward to the living room in suspicion.

From the very start, Mr. Ward had been smiling strangely.

Mr. Ward took the remote control and turned the TV on.

It was the time for the city's night news.

It's almost over.

After hearing the news broadcast, Jack's brain "boomed".

“YK Group officially announced that they would continue their previous investment plan in the city, located at the city's West Shantytowns.”

It was a very brief news, there's not even a detailed explanation.

It was just a few seconds!

But it was a sensational news.

Even Jack was shocked for a few seconds before his brain slowly cleared up.

He looked at Mr. Ward in disbelief, “It’s a win?”

“Old Master won.” Mr. Ward smiled and nodded, “I just knew it this evening too.”

Boom!

As if Jack was struck by lightning, his heart was beating hard.

His face reddened as he panted heavily with his stout neck.

With his temperament, it's hard to stay calm at that moment.

During the critical moment, DT struggled in the hopeless situation.

QY International getting back on the project helped DT stabilizing the houses’ price.

The YK group once again stirred up the city and get back on the project.

Jack knew clearly what that meant, more than anyone else!

One is the international big shot, and the other is the nation's number one.

The two powerful forces were going to enter West Shantytowns at the same time, the houses’ price... Would blow up!

QY International's entrance made Jack and DT survived the worst.

YK's second entrance was a huge boost for him and DT!

“Celebrate, we have to celebrate!”

Even Jack's eyes reddened. He was extremely pressured for those two days.

He had felt powerless, like he had no choice else than waiting, and the pressure even made him feel breathless.

But then, there were two simultaneous happy events.

Those made him feel proud and at ease.

“Haha... We must celebrate!” Mr. Ward laughed as he quickly returned to the dining table with Jack.

They celebrated happily.

There were so many rounds of alcohol and all sorts of dishes.

Jack was already tipsy, if his mother didn't advise him to stop, he would still want to drink in celebration.

The huge change on that day was really joyous!

Sophie and Daisy were busy cleaning up the tableware.

Meanwhile, Jack was swaying as he walked to the terrace with Mr. Ward and Brent.

“Mr. Ward, Brent, you know what? Those two days, I was even prepared for the worst.”

Jack laid down on the chair, he smiled as the night wind blew, “Unexpected, huh? God bless me, there are two simultaneous happy events! I'm now qualified to compete with those elites of the Hughes family and see who'll be the final winner!”

Both Mr. Ward and Brent laughed, they also drank a lot of alcohol.

With the night wind blowing, they became more drunk than before.

“Young Master, what's your relation with the QY International?” Mr. Ward suddenly asked.

Common people wouldn't know, but he knew it clearly.

A huge international company suddenly announced their investment in their city, just because the CEO came from the same hometown?

That's bullshit!

QY International came to help DT!

Jack laughed as he said, “Living off a woman... Feels so great.”

“Amber?” Mr. Ward was shocked. Soon, he smiled as he shook his head, “I feel ashamed... I never thought that her family background is so prominent!”

...

Right when the three of them were getting fresh air in the balcony.

The night news caused a commotion in the whole city.

The whole city was shook!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Who would've guessed that after YK announced that they’d put the project aside, then they suddenly get back and enter the city's West Shanty towns again?

What the hell was that huge company playing?!

After the shock, everyone realized a fact.

The price of houses in West Shantytowns... Was going to rise sharply!

In just two days, people who had been urging for refunds and being pessimistic about West Shanty towns changed drastically!

No one probed into the reason why the two super companies would enter West Shantytowns.

Everyone was focusing on West Shantytowns.

That place would be worth a lot of golds!

For smart speculators, West Shantytowns had become a place where they could earn a lot of money.

Getting a house would earn them so much money.

West Shantytowns transformation project was under DT's control, and DT had the most real estates in West Shantytowns.

Everyone in the city was preparing to rush to the West Shantytowns at daybreak.

Those buyers that were still rejoicing because they successfully refunded the house, felt like their world fell apart in just a day.

There were only regret, pain, disgrace, weep, and cry.

While nearly 10% of the people left, who didn't refund the house, were all happy and celebrating with champagne.

That night, some citizens were in rejoice and some citizens were in grief.

There were many painful wails amongst the districts.

The neighbors nearby knew that those were the voices of people who had refunded the house.

The Parry family was gloomy.

The TV was on.

Kieran lowered his head as he smoked. The ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette ends, and some of those still had remaining smoke.

Elissa sat on the sofa blankly, her expression kept changing as she muttered, “Why? Why? Shouldn't Jack be bankrupt and commit suicide? How could he turn the situation around? Damn... Damn it...”

After they watched the news, they couldn't calm down for a long time.

In fact, the Parry family had been feeling so depressed during the accident.

Elissa naturally blamed Jack for such mood.

But else than blaming and cursing at him, they couldn't even enter the gate of Jack's villa estate.

When Elissa knew that the whole city refunded the house, she felt that she finally avenged him so she opened alcohols and celebrated at home.

She could even imagine Jack jumping off a building to commit suicide because of the losses, and that made her so happy.

But in a blink of an eye, Jack turned the situation around!

Not only turning it around, he'd even be richer than before.

That made Elissa very upset and resentful.

Creak...

The door was opened, Tommy came back home.

Seeing his parents so gloomy, Tommy didn't dare to ask much... He just glanced at the house and asked, “Dad, Mom, where's Kate?”

“That fucking girl is taking a bath again!”

Elissa was angry, she sudden got up and walked to the toilet.

The sudden scene made Kieran and Tommy's expression change drastically.

They wanted to stop her but it was too late.

Bam!

Elissa kicked the toilets door, barged in, grabbed Katherine's hair, and slapped Katherine harshly.

“You good for nothing! What are you taking a bath for? Do you think that we don't need to pay for the water? Look at what you've done... Jack is so capable and rich, why did you divorce him at the first place? Huh?!”

Else than screams, there were also Katherine's wails in the toilet.
