Winner Takes All novel Chapter 560

Bang!

The door slammed shut again.

Jack’s resolute words kept replaying in Hana’s ears.

Resentment. Dissatisfaction. Anger. Those emotions were swallowing Hana up.

In front of Jack, she had felt a sense of humiliation! It was something she had never felt before!

He was ignorant towards her, till the point that he was even too lazy to dislike her. She was invisible to him, it seemed.

“Ah!”

Hana scratched her hair with both hands and screamed.

In anger, she swept her arms across the table, swinging the wine bottles and glasses to the ground.

Under the shimmering lights, stood Hana who was disheveled. She no longer looked drunk as rage replaced her dazed look from earlier.

“Jack Hughes, you’re a piece of trash. Can’t you have a better judgment? Which part of me is not better than that girl from the Knight Family?”

“You can even sacrifice your life for her! What about me? I gave you the chance to live. Heck, I even brought it to you and put it right in front of your face. All you need to do is grab it!”

“Damn it!”

……

The shrill screams echoed in the suite.

Jack’s rejection sent her into a state of madness.

Jack left the suite.

Slowly, he wheeled his wheelchair into the elevator.

It took a few seconds to get downstairs, but Jack felt that it was taking exceptionally long.

Hana’s words were like countless sharp needles which pierced through his heart.

While it riled him up, it also uncovered the scars he had been hiding for more than twenty years.

Back then, his father left to protect Jack and his mother.

However, his father never once asked if Jack and his mother wanted him to protect them with his departure.

Because he left them, Jack and his mother had been suffering for more than twenty years. They lived like the lowlifes on the streets. Throughout those years, he had been called an illegitimate child countless times.

No one would understand how miserable Jack was without ever experiencing that situation themselves.

His father was able to leave without any hesitation.

But Jack couldn’t!

Even if his life was on the line, it was still better than having his child think that his father had abandoned him and his mother! It was still better than having his child live in hatred forever!

Moreover, Jack knew how much Amber had suffered from being with him all these years.

If he had chosen the Powell Family, even if it was with the reason of protecting Amber, what would she think?

It would kill her to go through that!

Be it out of his responsibility or his childhood memories, Jack would never make such an irresponsible decision.

“Amber and my child…”

Jack’s initial gloomy face became relieved all of a sudden. He displayed a grateful smile, “You guys are everything to me.”

Ding!

Jack wheeled himself out of the elevator and headed towards the hotel lobby.

As soon as he entered the lobby, his gaze flickered and saw someone familiar sitting at the lounge which was located at the end of the lobby.

Ciara looked mad yet aggrieved at the same time.

Both her hands were clasped together in anger, and she kept tugging at the corner of her shirt.

Her pretty face had a cold expression on while her brows were tightly knitted together.

“Stupid Jack. Jack is a bastard. Jack is a jerk. You said that you love Amber. I didn’t expect you to be someone like this. Amber has done so much for you. You’re a bastard…”

Ciara kept murmuring to herself angrily from the moment she sat down on the couch.

It made those around Ciara look at her as if she was a strange woman and subconsciously moved further away from her.

However, Ciara couldn’t control her anger.

She knew what happened between Jack and Amber. For instance, the incident during their wedding ceremony.

A wedding ceremony was one of the most important things to a woman in her life.

But what happened on their wedding day?

And Amber had never disagreed with him, nor did she even request him to make up to her for the wedding.

This alone was enough to make Ciara feel aggrieved for Amber, and had cursed Jack in her mind a million times.
