Winner Takes All novel Chapter 10

Early next morning, Jack went to his mother at the hospital with breakfast.

She was getting better and better and could go home soon.

Thanks to Mr. Ward, she got taken good care of in every possible way. Jack was quite reassured.

Then, Jack should focus on the West Shantytowns project.

It was the first time that he had come to the public to work on a project for himself.

Although he fully ran the business at DT before, Ben, the jerk, falsely claimed the credit as his own after all.

But now, Jack would not only finish the project successfully but also make DT well-known.

More importantly, he wanted to prove his ability to his father.

Having abandoned and betrayed them for 20 years, the old master finally appeared to make up for what he had done.

Jack got the problem solved with Mr. Ward’s money.

He clearly knew money was important, but he didn’t think money could make up for everything.

His father, who he had never met, was essentially making a deal with him.

If he succeeded, he could gloriously return to the family with his mother as the successor to take charge of everything in the big family. More importantly, he could make his mother the most honorable lady.

But if he failed, life would likely be as tough as before, as if his father never existed.

The only difference was that he had a Bauhinia bank card in his pocket.

Jack had been striving along with his mother for 20 years. She devoted everything to him. Even if it was not for himself, Jack had to get the glory back to his mother. They should have had that.

Jack slowly walked out of the hospital, pondering the tricky project.

Meanwhile, Tommy, in his Audi A4, was trapped in the traffic jam outside the hospital.

He slapped the wheel with anger.

"Damn it. What the hell? Their damn cars cost only hundred thousand. How dare these fucking idiots drive their cheap cars to block my road?"

Sitting on the passenger seat, Shirley slightly frowned, "Are you a Road Rage, Tommy? What's wrong with you? They drive their cars which cost a hundred thousand. But you don’t even have that money, do you?"

"Wasn’t I just afraid you’re gonna be late for work?"

Tommy changed the topic with a flattering smile, "You know what, sweetheart, you said you were gonna take a shower last night when I invited you to play the Arena of Valor. Why didn't you come back? I got another MVP in the game..."

"Can’t you be like an adult?" Shirley rolled her eyes and scolded, "I was too tired to waste time on you. So I hit the sack after the shower."

Actually, Shirley had been so upset and muddled. Of course, however, she wouldn't tell Tommy the fact.

Tommy got a bit upset with a frown.

"What's wrong with your boss? You are just a bank teller. Why they make you so tired? You worked overnight a week ago, didn’t you?"

Shirley was flustered with flickering eyes. She lowered her head down, trying not to look at Tommy. She was afraid that Tommy might smell something.

But he could only felt that Shirley was just tired at work.

Tommy said with sympathy, "It's OK, sweetheart. My parents will prepare the bride price in a week. We can soon marry then. If you don’t wanna work, let me make our living."

"Will you really able to?" Shirley asked with a sneer.

Tommy paused. Then he answered with a chuckle, "Trust me I can do that. You are my wife!"

"How can you support me if I don’t go to work?" asked Shirley.

Tommy waved his hand, "Sure I can. I have Katherine. No worry. She has just divorced the loser bother-in-law. My mom is now busy hunting a rich guy for her. We don't need to worry about the money then."

Frowning more tightly, Shirley disgusted with Tommy suddenly.

Tommy didn't feel ashamed at all while saying so. How could he take it for granted?

How could a mommy's boy get so proud?

She even felt a little bit guilty towards Katherine.

Taking a deep breath, Shirley oddly asked, "How come you treat your sister like that?"

"Isn't that what she should do? She is my sister. After getting married, we will have a son to carry on my family name. She’s supposed to help me," Tommy said boldly.
