After Jack received a call from Katherine.
He was not in the right state for work. He looked like absent-minded.
He did not even know how he left from the company.
He was already standing outside of Blue Rose Western Restaurant when he came back to sense.
What a familiar scene. Everything remained the same while only people have changed.
He smiled a little with some sense of bitterness.
When Jacked entered the restaurant, he could see Katherine sitting in the corner by the window from far.
It was a breezy sunny day. Everything seemed just right.
Katherine was wearing a long white dress. She sat there quietly with her hair covering her shoulder. She looked gentle and sweet.
“You’re here?”
When Katherine saw Jack, she smiled a little.
Jack nodded and sat down. He asked calmly. “Did anything happen?”
“I will move out from the home today.”
Katherine stretched herself and smiled. “I want to leave this city because there are too many sad things that happened here.”
“It’s good to find a new place to start a new life.” Jack replied calmly.
“I’m sorry.”
Katherine suddenly said. “Leaving you makes me realize all the time you have been good to me. It’s me who is not good enough for you. It’s me who loses you.”
Jack felt startled. It was unexpected to hear this from her.
Katherine had been spoiled since she was young. Her arrogance was deeply in her mind. It was hard to imagine that these words would come out from her mouth.
Moreover, she was being sincere enough.
As Jack and Katherine looked at each other directly, time seemed to stop for a while.
After a long while.
Jack smiled bitterly, “Everything cannot go back to the old times anymore.”
He stood up after he replied and walked out.
Katherine was sitting on the chair as she looked at Jack leaving. Her tears gradually appeared in her eyes.
She raised her hand and wiped her the corner of her eyes. She said, “Kate, don’t cry.”
During the short meeting of Jack and Katherine, there was a person who held a mobile phone in the corner of the alley outside of the restaurant. The person took pictures of everything that happened.
...
After Jack arrived at work, he sorted out all his thoughts and continued focusing at work.
Katherine was just another passerby in his life.
Those who left me when I was in trouble shall leave.
He was being very humble. Unfortunately, what he got in return was the Parry family’s greediness.
The Parry family deserved whatever that happened to them in the end.
In the upcoming three days.
The set up of QY International Group and YK Group continued to grow and gained the momentum in the city.
With such a momentum, the housing prices would be even higher.
On the other hand, DT real estate agency remained the restriction of purchasing with a daily transaction of 50 units only. This situation made all the buyers go crazy.
Those who refunded the housing before, they felt completely regretted.
Everyone knew that DT real estate agency was delaying the time. They were waiting for the housing prices to hit the highest price point then only they would proceed for large pre-sales.
Something did not seem right.
The public discussion which Corbin was worried about before did not appear.
It was not that such an event was not discussed within the city. But... it was unable to form a public discussion in the media.
For the past three days, all the major media from the city only focused on reporting about the QY International Group and YK Group’s new commercial centers’ opening.
As for the housing prices of DT real estate agency and West Shantytowns were not reported much!
This evening.
Jack got off from work early.
When he walked downstairs of the company, a Rolls Royce was waiting at the roadside.
He got in the car and asked, “Mr. Ward, are the presents ready?”
“As per Young master’s request, everything is prepared accordingly.” Mr. Ward smiled a little.
