The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 17

How did he know that?

Katherine stared at Jack’s message with only one thought in mind.

All of a sudden, she understood with sparkling eyes.

The YK Group was the number one property developer in the country. Nobody could know anything at all before their decision to penetrate the local market.

However, it only worked for common citizens.

Jack was the deputy general manager of the DT real estate agency!

Smaller than the YK Group as it was, DT was still one of the local leading companies. It was nothing special for him as a senior executive to know insider story first.

At that moment, Kieran punched himself hard and muttered, “Katherine, you should have persuaded dad a bit more.”

Katherine just gawked at Kieran.

Before Katherine could reply, Elissa abruptly pointed at her as she scolded.

“You’re so useless! That is your fault! If you could have convinced me yesterday, we would have bought the house. This would settle your brother’s bride price. But now we got nothing! You just ruined your brother’s life!”

Katherine began sobbing after hearing this.

“Dad, mum, I have done my best to convey to you what I knew, but you never listened…”

Elissa waved her hand as she interrupted, “Bullshit! You are our daughter after all. How camewe wouldn’t listen to you if you insist a little harder? You must have done this on purpose because you hate me for forcing you to go on that blind date. Now, everything is ruined. We have lost a great opportunity to earn money and Tommy’s wedding couldn’t go on anymore because of you!”

Elissa stumbled onto the sofa and started screaming.

Hearing the wedding had to be canceled, Tommy started to throw a fit too.

“Katherine, I’m your younger brother. How can you do this? If I can’t marry Shirley, I’d rather die!”

The whole family turned out to be a disaster with noise. This got Katherine got so frantic.

She wiped her tears in deep sorrow, “What have I done wrong?”

Katherine hastily stormed off into her room and slammed the door hard.

She cried out loud as she collapsed onto the bed and pulled the blanket.

“Why? Why do I have to bear these all? What have I done wrong? I have reminded you guys beforehand, but why are you blaming me for missing the chance?”

Her cries were muffled underneath the blanket.

Just when Katherine was on the verge of breaking down, she sat up abruptly while flinging off her blanket. She muttered inaudibly, “Jack, the fact that you reminded me about this must mean that you still care about me, right?”

As she said that, she quickly picked up her phone and called Jack.

The call was trying to connect but it was cut off by the other end.

Katherine continued calling, but failed time after time.

She was trembling while sobbing as she repeated.

She thought Jack must have cared about her since he reminded her through a message.

She needed Jack to help her now. She needed Jack to help her brother too.

She read Jack’s message again while typing: You gave me a reminder yesterday and that must mean that you still care about me, right? Jack, help me, help my younger brother… if Tommy can’t get married, my mother would rather die with him. You are the deputy general manager of DT real estate agency, you must have a way of getting a house at a discounted rate. Am I right?

She was practically begging on her knees at the moment. This was the first time she had done that since they married three years ago.

She sent out the message.

Jack’s replied straightforward, “What does that have anything to do with me?”

In the MJ Club, Ben, with bruises all over his face, was wrapping himself in a bathroom and shrieking like a madman. He was clobbering everything and smashing all the stuff he could reached.

“What the fuck! Why did things end up like this?”
