The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 63

Asking Jack directly how much he had was encroaching into Jack’s personal affairs. According to Amber’s upbringing, she wouldn’t do something so inappropriate. But today Jack had continually surprised her and her mind was repeatedly bombarded to an extent that she couldn’t endure it any longer.

Whether it was acquiring DT or developing the West Shantytowns, or buying this villa in front of her. Each of the three items was in multiples of a hundred million yuan. Even if Jack had the help of a nobleman, which nobleman would support Jack with so much money?

This didn’t look like helping. It was more like a father throwing money at his son! It was obvious that Amber felt that this was totally illogical.

Jack stopped and looked at the surprised Amber and smiled tenderly, “Not much left. I used it several times and now the card is almost empty.”

As he said, he took out the Bauhinia bank card and made some mental calculations and then said, “Approximately five hundred million.”

“Bauhinia bank card?!” Amber’s eyes almost popped out of her sockets when she saw the Bauhinia bank card. She covered her mouth with her hand and almost screamed.

She no longer bothered with the way Jack remarked about having five hundred million remaining in his account because the Bauhinia bank card gave her a bigger shock than all of today’s surprises combined! The card had a minimum deposit of a billion yuan and numerous complex qualifying terms making the Bauhinia bank card a symbol of wealth and success. She understood the requirements of the card because her father had one. But Jack… how did he get one?

“You are familiar with this card?” Jack was also surprised. Even Shirley who was a bank teller wasn’t familiar with it.

Amber nodded and strongly suppressed her tone and said, “This was given to you by that nobleman?” Other than the nobleman mentioned by Jack, she really didn’t know how to link the Bauhinia bank card with Jack.

“Yes, in the beginning, there was a billion yuan in this card. Recently I used a portion to acquire DT and on the West Shantytowns development.” Jack nodded and kept the card. He thought about it and realized that it shouldn’t be surprising that Amber knew about such a card.

Amber was from a wealthy family. Although the Bauhinia bank card was rare, Amber should also know about it since bank managers were familiar with this card.

“A billion…” Amber was flabbergasted and didn’t know what to say. Why did someone give a Bauhinia bank card with a billion yuan to Jack? This nobleman was far too generous!

Even with Amber’s background, this was too much for her and she blurted out, “Hey, silly, you should ask your nobleman if you are his long-lost son! This was far too generous!”

She meant it as a joke but she actually hit the nail on its head!

This caused Jack’s heart to sink and his expression dimmed and triggered a sense of depression. But he knew that Amber was joking and that was why he quickly suppressed his displeasure. It happened so fast that Amber didn’t notice his mood swing.

“Come, let’s have a look inside the house.” Jack led Amber into the house.

He had instructed Brent to hire an interior decorator for the villa. He was certain that the interior of the villa would be within his budget and done to his satisfaction. This villa was he and his mother’s new house and a place where they can finally plant their feet firmly down after drifting for so many years in the city.

Jack was unable to imagine the hardships that his mother had to go through just to bring him up. It was time for him to repay her now that he could do so. Jack was willing to spend as much as it was necessary to give his mother a suitable place to recuperate.

Jack didn’t want the interior of the villa to be grand nor luxurious but to be warm and more comfortable. In Jack’s heart, this was his home and should feel warm and homely rather than to be ostentatious to show off one’s wealth.
