Jack hung up the phone.
He was silent with a cold face.
He did not know why Katherine went on a blind date with Ben Hall. Ben still insisted on treating Katherine as a prostitute after knowing she was his ex-wife.
It was humiliating him!
Is it possible for him to swallow his anger after being humiliated like this?
He replied Katherine.
“If you haven’t bought a house for Tommy yet, I would suggest you to go to West Shantytowns tomorrow morning to buy a house. Maybe you can help fund his bride price.”
West Shantytowns was an old city. The house prices had not been high and even had a downward trend in the past year.
It was enough for the Parry family to buy a house with their wealth.
Moreover, he believed that the house prices in the West Shantytowns would definitely go up against the market.
The bride price that Shirley asked Tommy for were really a lot. But if the Parry family was smart enough to buy a house in the West Shantytowns and they waited until the house price raised and sold it, it would be almost enough to fund the bride price.
However, he laughed, “With my previous status in the Parry family, perhaps you will treat it as nonsense, right?”
He didn’t care anymore. He got up and walked out. He had already done his best to this extent, even if the Parry family didn’t listen to him.
The rain became heavier.
When Jack reached downstairs, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked aside the road.
After getting into the car, Jack looked at Mr. Ward and said calmly, “Let’s go.”
“Young master, when will it be released tomorrow?” Mr. Ward asked calmly as the Rolls Royce was driven. He looked at Jack with admiration.
Jack was capable to think of such a masterstroke to run a losing trade into a steady profit.
This kind of capability and boldness was enough to prove Jack’s excellence.
Even those well-educated members of the family might not be able to work out such a move.
Jack showed that he was worthy to be depended on to achieve the objective.
But the younger members of the family always had to rely on their family background since they were young.
“We do it in the evening,” Jack laughed, “Will this make the people of the entire city unable to sleep tomorrow night?”
Mr. Ward was stunned, and then he laughed oddly, “Young master, that’s a bit bad.”
Half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked on the roadside outside a club.
MJ Club had always given the impression of high end. Those who attend were either rich or noble.
But the so-called ‘high end’ also meant somehow good quality and service. This was why it attracted some wealthy businessmen to flock here.
Ben was one of them.
In the three years at DT real estate agency, Jack knew very well that Ben spent at least seven out of ten nights at the club. He came here even more often than his home.
They waited for five minutes.
Jack, who was sitting in the car, saw several people had taken Ben out of MJ Club through the rain curtain.
Under the lights, Ben was wearing a bathrobe and he looked terrified. He screamed and struggled.
But the security guard at the entrance of the club ignored all of this.
“Mr. Ward, please wait for a moment. I will be back soon,” Jack said as got out of the car.
