The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 139

When Jack returned home…

His family was already full of joy.

Everyone was full of smiles.

Sophie and his mother were busy setting up a table full of foods and red wine, they clearly wanted to celebrate.

“You guys knew it already?”

Jack hurriedly went home because he wanted to draw up the next plan for DT and he wanted to announce that good news to his family.

“The whole city is in commotion, of course we knew it before that.”

Sophie smiled as she urged, “This time, you unexpectedly found a way out of the predicament, you're very lucky! Stop staring blankly, go and wash your hands.”

“Yes, that's right! Young Master, Madam and Daisy have been busy all evening.” Brent urged.

Jack had just eaten his dinner, but he didn't refuse because everyone was happy. He smiled as he walked into the kitchen, then after he washed his hands, they all sat together harmoniously.

Mr. Ward lifted his glass first with a smile, “There are two simultaneous happy events, congrats!”

When everyone was going to clink their glasses, Jack frowned instead, “Two simultaneous happy events? What’s the other happy event? Aren't we celebrating that my company is saved, QY International getting in helps me stabilize the houses’ price?”

Sophie and the others glanced at each other and smiled strangely.

Soon after, Mr. Ward put his alcohol glass down, got up, and said, “Young Master, follow me to the other happiness.”

Jack followed Mr. Ward to the living room in suspicion.

From the very start, Mr. Ward had been smiling strangely.

Mr. Ward took the remote control and turned the TV on.

It was the time for the city's night news.

It's almost over.

After hearing the news broadcast, Jack's brain "boomed".

“YK Group officially announced that they would continue their previous investment plan in the city, located at the city's West Shantytowns.”

It was a very brief news, there's not even a detailed explanation.

It was just a few seconds!

But it was a sensational news.

Even Jack was shocked for a few seconds before his brain slowly cleared up.

He looked at Mr. Ward in disbelief, “It’s a win?”

“Old Master won.” Mr. Ward smiled and nodded, “I just knew it this evening too.”

Boom!

As if Jack was struck by lightning, his heart was beating hard.

His face reddened as he panted heavily with his stout neck.

With his temperament, it's hard to stay calm at that moment.

During the critical moment, DT struggled in the hopeless situation.

QY International getting back on the project helped DT stabilizing the houses’ price.

The YK group once again stirred up the city and get back on the project.

Jack knew clearly what that meant, more than anyone else!

One is the international big shot, and the other is the nation's number one.

The two powerful forces were going to enter West Shantytowns at the same time, the houses’ price... Would blow up!

QY International's entrance made Jack and DT survived the worst.

YK's second entrance was a huge boost for him and DT!

“Celebrate, we have to celebrate!”

Even Jack's eyes reddened. He was extremely pressured for those two days.

He had felt powerless, like he had no choice else than waiting, and the pressure even made him feel breathless.

But then, there were two simultaneous happy events.

Those made him feel proud and at ease.

“Haha... We must celebrate!” Mr. Ward laughed as he quickly returned to the dining table with Jack.

They celebrated happily.

There were so many rounds of alcohol and all sorts of dishes.

Jack was already tipsy, if his mother didn't advise him to stop, he would still want to drink in celebration.

The huge change on that day was really joyous!

Sophie and Daisy were busy cleaning up the tableware.

Meanwhile, Jack was swaying as he walked to the terrace with Mr. Ward and Brent.

“Mr. Ward, Brent, you know what? Those two days, I was even prepared for the worst.”

Jack laid down on the chair, he smiled as the night wind blew, “Unexpected, huh? God bless me, there are two simultaneous happy events! I'm now qualified to compete with those elites of the Hughes family and see who'll be the final winner!”

Both Mr. Ward and Brent laughed, they also drank a lot of alcohol.
