Winner Takes All novel Chapter 11

In a deep trance, Shirley felt like dreaming.

What a coincidence!

This Jack Tommy described was nothing close to the one she met in the bank.

But the stern face she saw just now was so impressive.

She was thoroughly humiliated that night. How could she forget that face?

“Oh ya, I forget you’re now completely strapped.”

Tommy didn’t sense Jack’s grimace and continue to mock him. “Too bad, huh? If you’d just let your mom pass, you wouldn’t have to divorce my sister. Now you lost everything.”

Jack clenched his fist with veins clearly seen on his arms.

Ever since he married Katherine, he had always been mistreated in the Parry family. Moreover, Katherine sided with her family, which gave him an even lower status.

Things didn’t get better when he became the deputy general manager of the real estate agency over the three years. He even supported the Parry family financially so often. But the Parry family was still not satisfied.

Before, Jack used to forbear all of it for the sake of Katherine.

But now, he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Shirley, come look at my useless ex brother-in-law,” Tommy waved at Shirley with a sneer.

When Jack saw Shirley in the car, he unclenched his fist. All his rage disappeared. He even felt funny.

Useless ex brother-in-law?

With a peculiar smile, Jack took a slanted glance at Tommy. There was a signal of sympathy in his eyes.

With staggering footsteps, she got off the car. Her eyes fixated on Jack.

Looking at Jack’s smile, Shirley blushed. She thought of the night a week ago.

At the same time, she was restless.

Would he tell Tommy what happened that night?

Shirley was not stupid. Tommy was just her tool. Even though she wanted to play up to Jack, she couldn’t afford to leave Tommy before she got together with Jack.

In other words, Tommy was her back up, and Jack was her target.

If Jack got ticked off and exposed Shirley to what happened that night, she would be done.

“Come over, Shirley, let me introduce...”

Tommy held her hand without smelling her mixed emotions. Shirley instinctively tried to shake his hand off, but Tommy held tight and flaunted at Jack. “This is Jack, the loser ex brother-in-law I told you. He just divorced my sister, and you know what? He was the one who broke off the marriage. Funny, won’t you say?”

“Hi… hi, brother-in-law.” Shirley bowed her head in deep embarrassment, trying to escape from Jack’s sight.

“Hey hey, why call him brother-in-law?” Tommy frowned and corrected her, “That was past tense. Just call him Jack.”

“Stop it, Tommy.” Shirley said anxiously with a frown.

Right at that moment, Jack smiled at Tommy. “Is this your girlfriend?”

“Of course. Is this the first time you had met such a beauty?” Tommy raised his head arrogantly.

Jack nodded and gave him a thumb-up, “Your girlfriend is awesome!”

Shirley shook and felt her face burning.

To Tommy, Jack was complimenting Shirley.

To Shirley, Jack was teasing her, just as he did with the note he left her that morning.

“You don’t say?” Tommy narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Actually, we’re getting married in a week. Too bad you country pumpkin left my sister for your dying mom. You know my sister was doing you a favor of marrying you, right? You could have been able to attend my wedding, but not anymore.”

Jack sneered back. There was no sign of waver in his eyes.

His mother was his everything.

Even if he had another chance, he would still divorce Katherine.

Katherine was willing to support a deadbeat like Tommy, but not him.
