Winner Takes All novel Chapter 109

The week after that.

Was like being in smooth water for Jack.

The only ripple was what he had expected earlier.

The suppliers of materials all over the city once again boycotted DT real estate agency.

Last time, it was Aiden, who helped DT tide over the difficulties, and this time the boycott was led by Aiden himself.

Jack felt that the material dealers would not loosen the boycott for some time.

Fortunately, EnRich building materials company was supplying for DT, which helped in keeping the project in West Shantytowns going on.

At the same time, Jack did not intend to shelve the sales of the three real estates.

What he needed at that moment was money to leverage bigger projects.

Moreover, since Killian has declared war, and made Aiden pointed the sword at his throat.

If the matter dragged on, who knows what Killian would do within the long period of the renovation project in West Shantytowns?

On the other side, in LJ Hospital.

The atmosphere was tense inside the wad.

Katherine did not die, she was rescued. She had awakened a while ago. Her forehead was still wrapped with gauze, and she was still in a slight daze.

She had been staring at the ceiling blankly, laying on the hospital bed. Sometimes, she muttered in pain and tears, “Dirty…dirty…”

Kieran who was taking care of her, was heartbroken when he saw this.

Since the day Katherine had a meltdown and committed suicide, the family has finally calmed down.

As a father, Kieran could not bear to think about the broken-down state Katherine was on that day.

Even Kieran did not know, what had caused this family to be in such a state?

What kind of sin have they committed?

Looking at Katherine who was raving in the hospital bed, Kieran’s eyes redden. His hands trembled as he wanted to comfort Kathy by caressing her.

Before he could do so, Katherine’s body shuddered. Suddenly, she huddled herself tightly as she trembled in fear.

The scene caused tears to shed on Kieran’s face.

Snap!

The ward door opened.

Elissa and Tommy walked in.

Kieran quickly wiped the tear marks on his face, but Elissa caught a glimpse of it.

“Useless coward, crying like a bitch.” Elissa rolled her eyes and complained.

Kieran was depressed and gloomy.

Then, Elissa pointed to Katherine on the hospital bed and said to Tommy coldly.

“Tommy, aren’t you going to wake your sister and ask her to eat?”

Tommy’s lips shuddered, but he could not help himself from saying, “mom, Kathy is already in such a state. Please speak softly.”

“Why speak softly? Would all these happen to our family if it had not been because of this damn girl?”

Elissa glared at Tommy irritably. “Fine, now she’s in hysteria, making the whole family go around her. What did I owe in my past lives?”

Divorced with Jack and Killian abandoned her.

Two things that Elissa kept in mind. Katherine had the chance to be the wife of the rich, twice!

But Katherine lost all of them!

Elissa had always been timid and swallowed her pride in the Parry family and relatives from her side because she was poor all the while. She had expected her daughter to marry someone rich and turn the table.

Tommy wanted to speak but stopped. He took the thermal barrel and sat beside Katherine, saying softly, “Sister, let’s eat.”

Katherine, who was holding herself tightly, shuddered slightly as her reddened eyes stared wide.

Suddenly, as if she had been electrocuted, she sprang up and hugged Tommy.

“Brother, brother, don’t be afraid... I’m here... I will certainly help you...”

The sudden hug made Tommy screamed.

Kieran, who was by her side, was caught off guard.

But Elissa was quick to react.

As she paced towards them, her face turned into an unfriendly look. She raised her hand and slapped Katherine on the face, “Let go of Tommy!”

The slap was loud and clear.
