Winner Takes All novel Chapter 156

Jack felt disturbed for the whole evening.

His mind was full of the scene where he met Katherine the other day.

He just had a slight mercy on Katherine, but she even took the advantage of it.

A woman's heart was the cruelest thing.

Members of the Parry family's manners made him realize something new!

The ordinary farewell meeting was designed for a blackmail!

It was humiliating for Jack.

He was so furious that it was hard to calm down.

But he held it in, he did not dare to directly vent it out on members of the Parry family.

If members of the Parry family had the guts to blackmail for 100 million, then they would also have the guts to send the photos to Amber.

His relationship with Amber will come to a happy end at the end of the month.

During that period, he would definitely not allow any problems!

In the evening, after work.

Jack left the company absentmindedly, he called Amber when he got on the taxi.

The call quickly got connected.

“Dummy, you're finally looking for me?” Amber sounded a bit like grumbling in the phone.

Jack felt relieved as he smiled and said, “Since you're not looking for me, then I can only look for you.”

“Humph... I'm waiting for your proposal at the end of month.” Amber laughed.

“Don't worry, I'll definitely make your end of the month unforgettable!” Jack said.

“All right, you should sleep now, don't make yourself tired, love you.”

Amber hung up after saying that.

Jack became relaxed after confirming that Amber had yet to know about that matter.

At least, he could use a hundred million yuan to clear that matter up.

Then it wouldn't affect his proposal to Amber at the end of the month!

But Jack didn't know that...

Amber had actually cried and trembled long before she was talking happily with him on the phone.

After hanging up, Amber couldn't hold it in any longer... With tearful eyes, she buried her head under the blanket and cried out loud.

She heard her mother's soft voice coming from out the door .

“Amber, come and have some dinner.”

“Mom, I'm not hungry, you can just eat first.” Amber replied while holding her sobs.

Outside the door.

Rosie frowned like she was lost in thought, she then sighed and went to the dining room in the end.

Steve was waiting, seeing that Amber wasn't behind Rosie, he frowned and said, “Amber is not going to eat?”

“She's not hungry.” Rosie looked so worried.

“I'll ask her again, she might get sick.”

Steve immediately got up and walked outside, “Since she was a kid, she never eats whenever she's unhappy, and she thinks that she can hide it from us.”

“Stay there!” Rosie stomped her feet as she shouted.

“She must be hiding from us, it'll be bad if we let her keep on hiding it like this.” Steve wouldn't back down.

“Just eat!” Rosie pulled Steve back to the dining table.

In the TM Villa District.

The living room was silent.

Daisy kept staying in LJ Hospital to take care of Brent.

There were only Mr. Ward and Sophie in the house.

They sat on the sofa in silence.

Mr. Ward kept looking at Sophie with a complicated gaze.

Sophie seemed to be in a trance as she lowered her head and clasped her hands.

At last...

Sophie broke the silence, “Mr. Ward, do not tell Jack about this.”

“But Young Master has noticed something unusual from Madam, he specifically ordered me to look into it.”

Mr. Ward smiled bitterly, “I really didn't expect that Madam has been distracted by that matter during these few days.”

“Then you can just tell Jack that you got no information, I don't want him to be distracted because of my matters."

Sophie looked up at Mr. Ward firmly, “This is my own matter, and I'll take care of it by myself.”

Mr. Ward sighed and looked troubled, “I have advised Madam long time ago, and I also believe that Madam can handle it... But Madam, it's easy for people with high status to get attacked, I think it's better to tell Young Master first so Young Master can be mentally prepared!”

Bam!

Sophie suddenly slammed the table angrily, it was so strong that the teacups on the table clattered.

At that time, Sophie's kind face looked cold and furious.

Jack would be so surprised if he saw her.

Because he rarely saw such expression from her since he was a kid.

“Since you're calling me Madam, why are you refusing my orders?” Sophie coldly said that while staring straight at Mr. Ward.

“Madam, your situation makes me recall the past.”

Mr. Ward was calm and composed, “But after all, I think of Young Master first.”

Crash!

Sophie threw the teacup on the floor, took a piece, and held it against her neck, “I'll just die you don't hide it from Jack!”

“Madam...” Mr. Ward's expression changed drastically, he was so scared that he hurriedly got up, wanting to get close to her.

“Stop right there!”

Sophie angrily said, “I said, I don't want to affect Jack with this matter... I can handle it well!”

Mr. Ward was stunned for two seconds before heaving a long sigh, “I promise!”

After hearing that...

Sophie became quite at ease, she put down the broken piece, lowered her head, and helplessly said, “That matter had passed back then, now Patrick is back and has given Jack the qualifications as the successor... Jack should focus on being the successor, and he shouldn't be bothered of trivial matters.”

Her voice was low, sounding so helpless and sorrowful.

Even Mr. Ward looked dejected with mixed feelings.

Was Madam's matter really trivial?

If it could really be handled well, why were there so many twists and turns back then?

However, Mr. Ward didn't dare to say that because Sophie had used the most decisive means to shut his mouth by force.

At that time, someone opened the house's door.

Jack walked in and couldn't help feeling puzzled when he saw the teacup's broken pieces on the floor.

Sophie looked panic as she leaned down to pick up the pieces on the floor.

“Mom, let me clean it up.” Jack walked over in a hurry.

“I'll do it.” Sophie smiled, “I accidentally broke the teacup, it should be very expensive, right? What a pity.”

“Not really.” Jack laughed.

Sophie told Jack to rest for a bit after cleaning it up, she then went to the kitchen to cook by herself.

Seeing that Sophie entered the kitchen, Jack asked Mr. Ward , “Mr. Ward, about the thing that I asked you of... ?”

Mr. Ward already promised to Sophie, so he could only pretend to be calm as he smiled and said, “Young Master, perhaps we have misunderstood Madam... She really just went for a walk.”

“Really?” Jack was surprised, he then nodded and muttered, “If that is true, then it's all good. I am just afraid that something will happen to her, afraid that she deliberately hid it from me so I won't be bothered with it.”

Mr. Ward mumbled softly with a complicated look.

However, Jack didn't notice the subtle changes in Mr. Ward's expression.

Katherine's matter was really a pressure for him.

Jack greeted Mr. Ward and went up to his bedroom.

He needed to spend money and get rid of Katherine's family quickly to clear the matter up.

Because of the blackmail, even on the next day, Jack felt depressed and couldn't calmly be immersed in his work.

After being in a daze for the whole day, Jack returned home, he tossed and turned on the bed because he couldn't sleep.

He stayed up until the sky was bright.

Jack got up early, because that day... Was the day when Katherine and her family would leave that city.
