The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 132

Looking at the silent Mr. Ward.

Mr. Ward gave the answers from the looks of his face. Even he didn't reply.

Sophie’s eyes were becoming red.

All these years, she had been seeing her son’s effort.

For three years, he worked his way up from a graduate to a vice-chairman. That was enough to prove her son’s ability.

She had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and now, it was back to complete darkness.

Even though she was his mother, she can’t imagine how much this would hurt him.

How can a mother not care her son’s feeling?

In her anxiety, Sophie came up with a bold plan.

She said in a deep voice, “Mr. Ward, I want to go back to Hughes’ family.”

“Madam, you shouldn’t!” Mr. Ward was shocked.

If he let Sophie back to Hughes’ family, it would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire to this matter.

Mr. Ward hurriedly explained, “Madam, have you forgotten what happened that year?”

Sophie startled, and pat her head with her hand, “What am I saying, that old woman wants me and my son dead. Even if I go back, it can’t change a thing.”

She was crying, “What can I do? What can I do for my son?”

“Mom…”

A soft voice came from behind her.

Sophie was shocked. She turned around and saw Jack and Brent.

“Jack…”

Jack walked into the living room, hugging Sophie, while lightly patting her back.

It was like when he was young, he was scared, and his mother was comforting him.

He smiled and said, “It’s alright, I will take care of it. Don’t you worry. The only thing you need to do now is to take care of yourself.”

“But…” Sophie still a bit worried.

“Take care of yourself, you still haven’t hugged your grandchildren yet.”

Jack smiled with confidence, “You have propped a piece of the sky for me, now it’s time for me to return the favour!”

Sophie stunned, with a mixed feeling looking at Jack.

In a while.

She tilted her head down, smiled bitterly and said, “Yeah, my son has grown up.”

“Breakfast’s ready.”

Then, Daisy walked out of the kitchen.

“Mom, please have breakfast now.”

Jack was anxious, and he was worried very much than anyone else. But for the sake of his mother, he acted natural and calm.

He was forcing himself to finish breakfast with his family before leaving the house with Brent.

After they hopped on, Jack was depressed, and told Brent, “Get to the office now!”

…

At DT Real Estate Agency, it was the working hours.

Every employee was gathering around, on edge.

A single news had made the whole company’s employees’ head scratch.

No one could expect that they were still busy with the pre-sales yesterday, and even discussed plans for a celebration banquet, but now it came a sudden change.

Yet this morning when they opened their eyes, the sky had fallen.

“Corbin, when is Mr. Hughes coming back? See the big news, what should we do?”

“I am going insane. Woke up this morning, and YK group is putting aside this project? When is it going to be back on track?”

“Don’t be so dramatic, when huge corporate set aside something, it means that it is terminated. It just a vague way of saying it. Now we need to figure out the moods of our customers and determine whether the pricing will remain or collapse!”

…

The word “collapse” momentarily stunned everyone.

West Shantytown’ pricing was pushed up by YK group’s arrival in the city in the first place.

Now the news, announcing the project was on hold, would cause the value to fluctuate.
