Winner Takes All novel Chapter 180

Corbin didn’t say directly but showed Jack a statement, “I guarantee that it will shock you!”

Jack looked at the invoice, place it calmly on the table, and said to the elated Corbin, “And then?”

Corbin was puzzled and asked, “Aren’t you surprised? Aren’t you excited? Aren’t you happy?”

“I’m excited and happy.” Jack nodded calmly.

Corbin was speechless as Jack didn’t appear to be excited and happy. What’s going on?

Following that, Jack sat on the chair and said calmly, “The allowance my dad gave me was this much.”

Kaboom!

It was as if Corbin was struck by lightning. He frowned so much that he felt uncomfortable. The sudden display of wealth was unbearable. How can their lives be so different?

Jack waved his hand, “Corbin, I’m indeed excited and happy. But I’m still not satisfied with where DT Agency is at right now for me to appear excited and happy.”

“We just sold four properties and there will be a lot more to sell. The modernization of the entire western district is almost as big as half the city!”

Corbin understood, nodded and his eyes sparkled, “Jack, I understand. I celebrated too early. Only when the entire western district had been modernized, will it be time for us to celebrate.” He left after saying this.

Jack leaned back onto his chair and smiled bitterly. Was the western district enough? It definitely wasn’t! He still had a long journey ahead of him. He needed to outperform all expectations of him. He needed to do more than he could and do everything perfectly.

Only then can he let the elites of the Hughes family submit to him. He, being the outcast ‘bastard’ will then be able to hold his head high, return to the Hughes family and claim the throne. He wanted his mother to have the glory that she deserved.

The Hughes family elites were no pushovers and he could not afford to slacken.

At the same moment in the Four Impressions Club.

Old Master Burton was furious and ferocious like an angry lion. He felt disgusted.

“Old Master, the luggage has been packed.” A bodyguard said.

“Fuck off!” Old Master Burton flung his walking stick out.

The bodyguard scampered away like a startled mouse and only Old Master Burton remained in the room.

Just a moment ago, the staff of Four Impressions Club requested that he moved to the Tyson Hotel as it was a five-star hotel and in the city, which was more convenient for him. This sounds reasonable but who didn’t understand the hidden message of this request?

A five-star hotel was indeed high class but what was it to him? How could it be compared to the Four Impressions Club?

This was clearly … forcing him out!

The Burton family was the richest in the Capital. As the head of the family, Old Master Burton was considered a VIP wherever he went and revered by all in the Capital. But at the Four Impressions Club, he could bear with not being able to stay at the courtyards but now they even wanted him to leave!

Damn it!

“Go! Since they don’t want me here, why should I remain here?” Old Master Burton huffed like a bull. Although he decided to leave, he still was furious about it.

To think that the richest man in a city suffered such disrespect and humiliation!

All because of Jack! He was clear that if it wasn’t for Jack, Minister Mable wouldn’t dare to do something so disrespectful.

Half an hour later.

Old Master Burton finally got into the car as he fumed angrily and the two Mercedes Benz sped off. This was a huge loss of face in terms of Old Master Burton’s status.

Next to the entrance of the Four Impressions Club.

Minister Mable looked at the cars driving off and smiled, “Steve, are you satisfied?”

“Thanks. My son-in-law doesn’t like this old man so it’s better to let him go.” Steve smiled radiantly and continued, “If he upsets my son-in-law again, then drive him out of the city!”

“You rascal!” Minister Mable laughed, “He is the richest man in the Capital!”

Steve joked, “Do you really think that I’m not familiar with the happenings in the country because I’m usually overseas?” After a pause, Steve said, “The Burton family of the Capital is in trouble.”

Minister Mable laughed but didn’t respond.

Several seconds later, Minister Mable asked, “When will you go to the Hughes family?”

“Tomorrow.” Steve smiled radiantly, “My daughter helped me a great deal to get a son-in-law like Jack. Mr. Ward already assured me that the Hughes family door is now wide open for me and the head of the family will personally receive me.”

“Then your dream all these years will finally come true.” Minister Mable said.

“All thanks to Jack. Otherwise, my wish may never be fulfilled.” Steve sighed.

Over these years he had made countless trips but each time he was received by Mr. Ward. It would not be any different had he continued because QY International Group was insignificant to the Hughes family. The turn of events was all because of Jack.

Steve became determined, “I’ve already placed the bet that Jack will win. Can I trouble Mable to help me out? Even at the cost of my life, I will do my best to get Jack back into the Hughes family.”

“Rest assured that I’ll keep an eye on this. No one will be able to cause any trouble for him, at least in this city.” Minister Mable smiled and nodded.

The next morning, Steve and Rosie left the Four Impressions Club.

Amber remained in the city but moved out of the Four Impressions Club.

Since her parents had left, it was more convenient for her to live in the city and more importantly, she could be nearer to Jack.

Amber moved that afternoon and found a place near the EnRich Building materials company. Amber was still the boss of EnRich and it would be more convenient for her to go to work from the new place. She missed Jack but with the upbringing that she received, she could not ditch her responsibilities. As a woman, no matter how strong her man was, she should have something of her own to be independent. She didn’t want to be dependent on Jack.

After she was done with her move, Amber laid on her bed and took out her phone to message Jack.

Amber, Silly guy, my parents had left and I’ve moved out of the Four Impressions club.

At the DT Agency.

Jack was working when he saw Amber’s message on Wechat.

Without waiting for his reply, Amber sent another message.

Amber, Silly guy, come tonight to my place. I want to make dinner for you.

Jack laughed. His eyes lit up. He suddenly thought about what he said to Amber to tease her at the Four Impressions Club.

Will it come true so quickly? But was it appropriate? Although they were engaged, they had not been married officially. Furthermore, to think that he would devour Amber just after her parents left. Somehow it felt wrong.

He took a deep breath and Jack stopped grinning.

He became serious and replied Amber.

Jack, Okay!
