Winner Takes All novel Chapter 140

“Elissa, let go of my daughter!”

Kieran was upset as he threw his cigarette end and dashed into the toilet.

Slap!

He slapped Elissa and angrily said, “What has our family become? It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, would our family be like this? Kate is already like this, how could you hit her as her mother?”

The sudden scene stunned Elissa and Tommy.

Kieran had always been the weak and docile type that would just hold his anger back.

“Why are you shouting at me?” Elissa was dumbfounded for a moment before she covered her face and screamed.

“You're screaming? Believe me or not, I'll kill you today?” Kieran lifted his hands to hit Elissa, it made her so scared that she pulled her neck back.

Seeing that the situation wasn't right, Tommy quickly mediated them, “Dad, why did you hit Mom?”

“She was going to kill your sister, and I can't help?”

Kieran turned his head and glared angrily with his red eyes.

Tommy swallowed his saliva and pulled Elissa back to the room.

Kieran looked at Katherine, who was on the floor with teary red eyes.

Katherine curled her body up on he floor, her face was full of red hand prints but she kept washing her body with a hollow gaze.

She murmured, “Dirty... I'm dirty...”

That scene was very heartbreaking for Kieran.

Thump!

He kneeled on the ground and cried, “What bad did I do? Kate... I'm sorry.”

Katherine, suddenly stopped shaking.

On the next second.

“Dad...”

Katherine threw herself to Kieran's arms, and cried out loud.

They hugged each other as they cried... Kieran kept apologizing and patting Katherine's back to console her.

...

The next morning.

Jack felt wonderful as he woke up from his slumber, the one day change made him feel like he was reborn.

He finished Brent's harsh training in the morning.

After taking a bath, he went to the company right away.

DT company.

Everyone was looking happy with their bright smiles.

At that time, there was still an hour before the work hours.

But everyone had arrived earlier.

Even Corbin and a few middle ranks from the company immediately rushed to the company once the sky was bright.

“Have you guys seen the news last night? Oh gosh, I even thought that I was hallucinating at that time!”

“It's really unexpected! After YK announced their entrance again, people in my district who bought West Shantytowns' houses were crying all night.”

“QY International and YK, two big companies entered at the same time, the price of West Shantytowns' houses will definitely rise up high.”

...

A group of employees was enthusiastically discussing it.

Only Corbin sat on the side, he seemed to be lost in thought.

He was the earliest one to the company, after the news was out last night, he couldn't sleep for the whole night out of excitement.

However, he didn't feel tired at all.

As if there were slides on his mind, he kept recalling about those two days.

In the end, the slides stopped at Jack.

“Jack didn't seem to be flustered at all from the very start, did he know it beforehand?”

Once the thought popped up, Corbin's pupils immediately shrank as his heart was beating hard.

Could that be... Jack's big plan?

The more Corbin thought about it, the more he was sure of his terrifying idea.

Jack was the one who brought him, and he had been working with Jack since he worked at the company… He was the one who knew Jack best.

If Jack didn't have plan from the start, then how could Jack be perfectly composed during those two days?

After realizing it, Corbin looked at his colleagues that were discussing enthusiastically, and smiled proudly.

As expected, he was the only one in the company that understood Jack the most!

They're still curious why YK and QY International came back, but didn’t know that Jack had planned everything from the very first!

Meticulous in every step with well thought-up plans, that's Jack!

At that time, Jack's image in Corbin's heart sharply rose to glory.

He didn't think of why Jack could get in touch with YK and QY International, and that's not what he should think about as an employee... What he thought about was he must keep following Jack!

When Jack arrived at the company and saw the employees' happy face, he also smiled.

Clap, clap, clap...

The sounds of clapping attracted everyone's attention.

“Mr. Hughes!”

The employees shouted in unison.

Jack smiled, “You guys knew what happened last night, right? Let’s get back to work, you should know what to do!”

The employees laughed, and then enthusiastically engrossed themselves to their work.

At the same time.

After that night, the citizens nearly went crazy.

They were even crazier than the first time YK announced their entrance.

To everyone, West Shantytowns was like a pool of golds.

Wouldn't they be stupid if they didn't buy the house?

Before the sky was bright, there were long lines of people queuing in front of the four major sales centers under DT.

Just like the previous days, everyone was fierce with red eyes.

The only difference was, they were all refunding the house before, and then they’re vying for the house!

In a night, people's hearts had changed!

However, something shocked them.

When the sales center opened the gate.

All four major sales centers put up a sign, “Only 50 houses are for sale on each day!”

Boom!

Everyone that was going to vie for the houses was shocked.

In front of Dragon Garden, a bald guy looked at the sign sadly and gritted his teeth, “Why is it limited? Why would it be limited? I have bought the house from you guys before!”

“Sir, but you have refunded the house... If you did, then you have to buy it again now, and you must buy it according to the limits.”

The sales manager said that calmly, stood up, shrugged, and helplessly said, “After all, there were so many refunds that our company handled in those two days... There's not enough time to handle, so limiting the purchase is to finish all the procedures as soon as possible. We do it to provide everyone with better services too.”

The bald guy was speechless.

Slap!

He slapped himself.

DT company.

Corbin was pretty dumbfounded when he walked into the office, “Jack, the sale is really limited? There might be a lot of public opinions about it!”

“Let there be.”

Jack smiled, “Remember this sentence, we should pay what we need to, and earn what we should get. When they wanted refund, I could accept and refund it to them... But I will earn what I should get they buy the house. They abandoned it yesterday and they're wailing today, it's called only having themselves to blame!”

Corbin stiffened and nodded in silence.

After Corbin walked out of the office.

Jack lowered his head and continued working.

The price of West Shantytowns' houses rose with the support from YK and QY International... For him, it's revolutionary!

A momentum that could make him confident and not easily controlled by others!

But his phone suddenly rang.

It's an unknown number.

Jack frowned as he tapped the hang up button.

But that number called him again.

In the end, he accepted the call.

“You still like to hang up on me.”

He heard a bitter laugh from the phone call.

Jack frowned even worse as he became silent.

Soon, he heard, “Can we meet for the last time? 12 P.M. At the Blue Rose Western Restaurant, I'm leaving this city.”

Jack was surprised

Blue Rose Western Restaurant... That was the place where he had his first date with Katherine.
