Winner Takes All novel Chapter 54

Three days later,

Jack got out of the hospital despite that the doctor suggested him no to do it.

Right now, the reconstruct project of West Shantytowns reached a key point, and the presale would happen soon. He got a lot of things on hand.

Not to mention if he stayed and not visited his mom at LJ Hospital, he couldn’t keep his wounds as a secret.

Although he still had bandage on him, it wouldn’t be a problem if he was careful.

When Amber and Brent escorted Jack back to his rented apartment,

Amber was completely shocked.

“Jack, you’ve been living in this place the whole time?”

From her point of view, he was the head of DT real estate agency with an annual salary over billions. He should live in a two-room rented shithole!

Even a stranger would not believe what he saw.

“I find it quite nice.”

Jack mocked himself.

Amber bit her lips. She stared at Jack whose face was still a bit pale, and she felt sorry for him.

But she suddenly thought of one thing – where did all the money he made these years go?

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.” Amber lowered her head like a misbehaved kid.

It was really rude for her to say that.

Jack shook his head, smiling, “It’s fine. Remember the surprise I promised you?”

He winked at Amber and cast an ambiguous smile at her.

Looking at Jack, Amber was a bit startled. She had some guesses, but she quit asking him about it because of that smile.

Since he promised a surprise, she just had to wait for it.

Why spoiled the fun?

Amber and Brant helped Jack put away his belongings. Jack freshened up and changed into a suit.

He did look a bit pale in the mirror, however, he felt better.

“Brent, stay here. Amber and I will head to the company after visiting my mom.”

Then Jack, with Amber accompanying him, went to LJ Hospital.

He didn’t spend much time with his mom.

He was afraid she might notice something.

His mom always knew what happened to him since he was a child.

As a matter of fact, the moment Jack and Amber stepped into her room, Sophie had noticed his pale face and asked about it.

Luckily, Jack could use work as an excuse for him not looking well.

Jack was relived to see his mom getting better. He asked Daisy to take care of her then left with Amber, and went to the company alone.

Once the staff saw Jack, they seemed to be less stressful.

DT real estate agency bet everything on this project, but it also got them overwhelmed.

As the boss, Jack was the back bone of the team.

However, he disappeared for three days, which made his company leadless.

If it wasn't for several middle-level backbones working hard to control the progress of the project, the employees would have been panicked.

Jack knew clearly how much influence his absence had caused to the company.

He made a quick speech to comfort the employees before he called all district heads into his office.

“I’m sorry. You must have been so stressful for the last three days.”
