Winner Takes All novel Chapter 127

At the courtyard of Bamboo grove. Joyous laughter broke the usual silence.

Amber sat on the chair while she looked uneasily at her father happily sharing stories with his friends.

There was a senior government Minister, a renowned artist, and a medical expert. These people were not only famous in the country, they also were well known internationally. They were her father’s good friends.

What would the situation be when Jack came?

“Lansing, we haven’t met for so many years. You are already famous internationally as the director of LJ Hospital!”

The middle-aged man smiled radiantly looking at another man with a head of white hair and said in surprise, “The international medical journals feature you regularly.”

“Ha ha ha… stop flattering me. All I get in return for my efforts is this head of white hair.”

Director Lansing smiled and said, “Talking about becoming world-renowned, it is artist Warnock who is truly famous internationally.”

Another gentle-looking man with spectacles smiled and replied, “I’m just a poor artist. How am I famous? This rascal Steve is the one who is dealing with the oil barons and socializing with the big wigs at Silicon Valley.”

“Stop all the flattering. I’m sure Steve has some reasons for asking us to come today.”

Minister Mable said solemnly, “He wants us to help him assess his future son-in-law.”

Director Lansing and artist Warnock’s eyes lit up when they heard this and were very curious who Steve’s future son-in-law was. Steve smiled but didn’t elaborate. He simply told them to wait for the introduction.

Director Lansing couldn’t suppress his anxiety and said, “It’s so unexpected that Steve made his fortunes here and now his son-in-law is also from this city. I wonder which talented young man could capture the heart of his daughter.”

“You will know when he comes in a while.” Steve smiled and looked towards Amber, “I’ll have my friends to check out if this young man is an upstanding gentleman!”

Amber wrung her hands nervously.

The few uncles here were all great men and leaders of their respective fields.

And they also very cherish your reputation.

She expected that Jack, who was a divorcee, would be penalized by these uncles for his past.

“Don’t worry. Your dad knows what he is doing.” Rosie could sense what Amber was thinking and placed her hand on the back of Amber’s hand and comforted her.

Amber nodded, “Thanks, mom.”

…

Outside the Four Impressions club.

The Rolls Royce drove over and after the welcome at the entrance, it drove in the club unrestricted. After the car stopped, Jack got out of the car with the gift and asked Mr. Ward and Brent to remain in the car. He was invited by Minister Mable who had a very special status, hence it was better that he went alone.

He was escorted by the security to the Bamboo grove. He could hear the joyous laughter from the courtyard. It wasn’t just Minister Mable who he was meeting?

Jack frowned but was unfazed and entered the courtyard with his gift.

“Sir, Mr. Jack Hughes has arrived.” When they entered the courtyard, the security guard walked briskly over to the hall to announce Jack’s arrival.

The hall fell silent, “Quick! Bring him in!” someone shouted excitedly.

Amber? Jack was suddenly startled. He definitely heard Amber’s voice.

But wasn’t he invited by Minister Mable? He was stunned for a moment.

As he approached, a beautiful and radiant smile welcomed him. It was Amber!

“Silly rascal! Heh heh… you didn’t expect it, did you?” Amber’s words snapped Jack back to his senses. Jack was lost for a moment. If Amber was there, then her parents…

Jack looked down at his gift and immediately felt awkward.

He thought that it was Minister Mable who invited him which was why he only prepared one gift for Minister Mable. How was he to expect that it turned into a session to meet her parents? He didn’t even have a gift for Amber’s parents during their first introduction!

“Why are you standing there like a fool?” When she saw Jack standing still looking stunned, Amber twitched her eyebrows and skipped over to grab Jack’s arm.

“You, why didn’t you inform me that you’re back?” Jack said awkwardly.
