Winner Takes All

Everyone was shocked by what Dr. Hale said.

No one expected the Perry family to be like that.

At that moment, Tommy was scrutinized by the crowd with cold eyes.

Tommy was totally speechless with a flushed face.

In the end, he glared at Daisy furiously and stormed out of the ward.

Daisy hurried into the ward and consoled as she patted Sophie on her back, "Ms. Burton, it's fine. Please ignore that asshole. You will get better soon. I am calling Mr. Hughes to come over now."

Sophie held onto Daisy with a deep breath, "Don't... don't let him know. I'm, just fine."

"But..." Daisy hesitated.

Sophie shook her head, "Jack is too busy. Better not get him bothered."

Dr. Hale walked in at this moment.

He frowned worriedly at Sophie and said, "Ms. Burton, I'll take you for some checkups to ensure you are fine. I will not inform Mr. Hughes." Tommy just wanted to kick up a fuss to make up for some losses.

He thought Jack deceived his sister through divorce with a compensation of only two hundred thousand. This was completely outrageous. But Dr. Hale just ruined his plan and got him nothing but criticized by the crowd.

At this moment, Katherine walked out from stairwell after cooling down herself.

She almost collided with infuriate Tommy.

"Opps, Tommy, what happened?"

"Katherine."

Tommy suddenly calmed down and said, "Do you know that Jack still has some money? Sophie has just undergone a surgery!"

Just before he left, he heard that Sophie just received a liver transplant.

Tommy felt furious again. That liver transplant must cost a huge amount of money!

Jack not only paid Sophie's hospital bill, but also hired a carer for his mother. How came he didn't have money?

"Hush!"

Katherine changed her attitude as she quickly covered Tommy's mouth, "What if Sophie hears and gets agitated? Tommy paused.

Katherine quickly dragged Tommy into the stairwell.

"Katherine, you knew it already?" Tommy looked surprised at her. Katherine's reaction told she had already known it.

Katherine nodded and sighed, "When you asked me to look for Jack, I already gone to Sophie. But... you should not have gone to her."

When she threw a tantrum last time, she had worsened Sophie's condition so much that she got emergency treatment in the ICU. That made her still a little scared.

If Tommy was to trigger Sophie and she died, then it would be a murder!

"Why can't I go to her? Jack got you dumped and gave that money to his dying old mom. He still lied to you by doing these. I've had it with it!"

Tommy was so furious that his eyes glared widely and his face flushed in red.

Katherine was shocked as she looked at Tommy. Did her brother suddenly turn thoughtful?

What he just said brought comfort and warmth to her.

But, she still shook her head and said, "It's all in the past. I take everything. It's okay."

"Bullshit! If you didn't choose Jack, how can they be bonded to our Parry family? They are both spiteful country pumpkins!"

Tommy was completely furious as he gritted his teeth, "Jack has given so much money to his damned old mother. Now he wants to ease out my sister with only two hundred thousand? No way!"

If it wasn't for his plot to deceive Katherine to divorce, Tommy would be preparing to marry to Shirley and won't cause their family to lose face.

If he got Jack to make up for his loss, then he will be able to give the bride price to Shirley!

"Enough, Tommy!"

Katherine bit on her scarlet lips and said pitifully, "I know that you are in a hurry to get married. I will settle the issue with Jack. You take good care of mom. You must not tell her and father about this matter. Don't get her agitated."

She turned and left after she finished.

Tommy said angrily, "Settle? If you can settle it, why did you lie to my Shirley and get our family so awkward?"

But Katherine had already left and didn't hear what he said.

At the DT Company, Jack was busy with his core work-the West Shantytowns project.

Although he had resolved the exorbitant prices, there was still plenty to be done.

They need to quickly construct the properties and sell them out!

Getting a foothold in the YK group was just the first move. He would show what he had by selling the properties.

Only when real money was credited to his bank account can the project be considered a success. Then he could deliver good results to his father that he had never seen.

Ding!

He received a new message.

Jack looked at his phone and lost his mind again.

That was Amber. "Jack, I'm coming back on 1st next month. I have a lot of luggage. Can you pick me up?"

'1st next month?' Only a few days left.

Three years ago, Amber was the bride's maid during his marriage with Katherine. She had helped them a lot during the wedding.

Now that Amber was coming back, he should treat her as a friend.

"Okay," Jack replied and continued his work.

Soon after there was another message.

He checked it with a cold face.

That was Shirley.

Did she intend to throw herself at him?

The message was simple. Mr. Hughes, are you free tonight? I would like to invite you to my house and cook dinner for you. (Cutesy emoji)

How couldn't Jack understand her intention?

But he quickly replied, "No, I prefer to make my own."

At the bank, Shirley looked at her phone, frustrated and furious.

Jack... was that intentional?

The five million from Jack couldn't satisfy her for long.

In Shirley's mind, it was as if Jack had opened the door for her. Since she could get five million from him, then she would be able to get even more.

Furthermore, she was more than willing to give up some of herself.

When she apologized to Jack that night, she had already given her everything.

But she just felt confused by Jack's reaction towards her.

After working in this city for so long, Shirley knew well how to deal with the manager and stayed firmly at her position as a banker. She absolutely understood how to manipulate men.

She had seen all sorts of men. And as long as she wanted, she could manipulate anyone of them.

But Jack just didn't respond to any of her moves like a boulder.

With his cold response, Shirley would have given up long ago.

But when she thought about the five million in his bank account, she couldn't bear to give in to Jack. She had made up her mind to adhere to it.

She was fuming within as she murmured, "It's all that loser Tommy's fault. If he had brought me to meet his family earlier, then I would have met Mr. Hughes much earlier. Mr. Hughes is so smart. How came Parry family treated him with disregard?"

If she had met Jack earlier, she could have given Jack a good impression. Then she wouldn't have lose her face to beg for his forgiveness for humiliating Jack on withdrawing money with a bank card she had

never seen.

Shirley blamed the Parry family for Jack's reaction. This made her hate the Parry family.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
