The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 418

After the dinner.

Jack and Amber took a stroll together as usual.

But something was bothering Jack.

Amber was very quiet. She lowered her head and seemed to be pondering something.

“What are you thinking?” Jack broke the silence.

“It’s nothing.” Amber didn’t look at him and just shook her head.

Jack halted.

“You always manage to call me out on my lies. But you are actually a bad liar yourself.”

Amber took another two steps forward and halted.

She said blandly, “I’m sorry. Let’s go home, I’m tired.”

With that said, she turned around and walked pass Jack towards the house.

What was going on?

Jack stunned. There was definitely something going on based on her reaction.

But this was the first time he saw her reacted like this!

“Did I do anything wrong that made her angry?”

Jack rubber his nose and went into retrospection. Nothing special came to mind.

“Is it about the car?”

Jack thought of a possibility.

Back in the bedroom.

Amber was lying on the bed in the same posture as the night before. Seemed she wanted to sleep facing away from him again.

Feeling helpless, Jack washed up, went to bed and hugged Amber from behind.

He sensed clearly that Amber struggled a little at his action.

He applied a little more strength in his hug and the struggling halted.

“Amber, are you thinking about the car I drove back yesterday?” Jack asked.

Amber remained silent.

This should be it!

Jack finally understood and explained, “That was a car I borrow from a girl, but I promised it’s not like what you think at all.”

It was a big taboo for pregnant women to hold their frustration in during pregnancies.

Jack didn’t want to hurt Amber just because of a small matter, so he opened up immediately.

“Okay, go to sleep now.”

Amber nodded and replied in a whispering tone.

Jack went into a daze. What was with this response?

He let go of her subconsciously, but Amber didn’t move and stayed in the same posture with her back at him.

Was it not because of the car?

Jack became more confused.

On the other side.

The Hughes family.

Still staying up, Killian, George and Ivy were sitting together in the yard.

“We made the right bet this time, Killian. We ripped a few billions from that bastard Jack today!”

With a wine glass in his hand, George smiled complacently, “The Rothschild’s are stupid to withdraw right after a little complication. Look at what they’re missing out here.”

Killian smiled slightly in agreement with George’s remark.

But he could actually understand Rothschild’s decision.

After all, what happened back then was indeed frustrating.

Rationally, it was within expectation the Rothschild left.

“Now that we’ve put another five billion into the market, it’d probably crush Jack and Yael when the market opens tomorrow morning, right?”

Ivy swirled the wine in her glass and said in a tipsy smile.

At this moment, she felt her grudge was finally vented.

If everything went as he anticipated, he would be able to find his father and have the questions he always had in his heart answered.

Why did his father go missing?

What was it that made him spend so much effort to cover up his whereabouts?

Nine o’clock in the morning.

Jack put the cup by his lips and took a sip.

His calm expression gradually turned cold, his gaze turned menacing, “Now, the hunt begins!”

He didn’t open his computer.

Because he understood clearly just how powerful it was when Yael, Grand Freemasons and QY International Group worked together.

Furthermore, there was a variable involved. The Jeweline Group.

The Rothschild’s had withdrawn their investment.

The remaining players here, Zooko Investment and Seava Capital, had no chance going up against them. Just as how they made him worried a few days ago, in a couple of hours, Zooko Investment and Seava Capital would be the ones who worried.

The only question now was how much they were able to harvest out of this?

The trio in the Hughes family was thinking about the same thing as Jack.

Early in the morning.

Killian, George and Ivy got up early.

Even though they had been drinking through the night and had little sleep, they didn’t feel any sleepiness at all.

To them, it was an extremely exciting thing to watch Jack fell into despair from the dark.

George, who was hot tempered, opened the computer first thing in the morning.

The market opened at nine o’clock.

Killian and Ivy sat down in front of the computer.

George rubbed his hands, “Killian, Ivy, are you guys ready? We’re going to witness the end of Jack Hughes.”

“I’ve already planned the venue for our celebration later.” Killian smiled, his eyes sparkled.

Ivy smiled too, “When Yael’s financial company is gone, I want to see how that bastard Jack can get back up. I hope he dies the worst death possible!”
