Winner Takes All novel Chapter 574

The air immediately seemed like freezing.

Mr. Ward who was eating suddenly stopped and looked at Jack Hughes and Amber Knight with a shocked look.

‘What… was going on?’

After noticing Mr. Ward’s gaze, Jack smiled, “I asked whether you still have the tranquilizer last night? It was quite effective. I still want to drink it tonight.”

Amber’s stiffened expression had eased and she smiled sweetly, “Yeah, of course. I will bring it to you later before you sleep.”

“Okay.”

They were having lunch.

Jack and Amber were a little quiet. They were just chatting.

Mr. Ward who stayed between them felt extremely bad.

Their emotions were shown on their faces. Mr. Ward could see it clearly.

Mr. Ward felt perturbed and had a lot of doubts in his mind. He also had no appetite for lunch anymore.

After finishing lunch.

Mr. Ward made an excuse and pushed Jack to the corridor outside the ward.

“Young master, what happened?” Mr. Ward frowned as he asked.

“Nothing.” Jack shrugged his shoulders and showed a look as if it didn’t matter.

Mr. Ward frowned deeper, “Nothing? You and Mrs. Hughes had shown your emotions on your faces. Although I am old, my eyes sight isn’t that bad that I can’t even realize it.”

“It is really nothing. Mr. Ward, if you have nothing to do, please go to DT real estate agency to watch the work for me.”

Jack said helplessly.

“Okay. I will go there now.”

Mr. Ward sighed. He knew Jack didn’t want to talk about it. The fact that he asked him to go to DT real estate agency was merely an excuse he had made.

Seeing Mr. Ward leaving, Jack felt upset as he sighed.

He quietly rolled his wheelchair, turned, and opened the door of the ward.

When he entered the ward, Jack was stunned.

He saw Amber standing in front of the window and staring down there while she was in a daze.

She didn’t even notice Jack had entered the ward.

“Amber…”

Jack frowned and called her with a soft voice.

“Huh?!”

Amber’s small body trembled. She raised her hands and rubbed her face in a panic. She turned towards him while smiling.

Although she was smiling, tear stains could be seen on her extraordinary pretty face as color returned to her face. Even her eyes looked red.

“Did you cry?” Jack felt extremely upset in his heart.

“No, I didn’t.”

Amber took a deep breath. She shook her head as she smiled, “Some dirty things went into my eyes.”

“Do you want to have a rest?”

Jack didn’t ask more. He wanted to ask about the doubts in his mind. Yet, when he wanted to ask, he always felt that something had stuck in his throat and he couldn’t say a word.

When he saw the torn note from the mystery man, he only disdained it.

However, when he came back from the capital city, he could clearly see Amber’s changes.

At the moment, Jack kept recalling the man from last night.

The content of the torn note was like a burning needle that was harshly moving in his heart.

“Okay.”

Amber nodded and went into the blanket of the bed of the ward.

Jack turned on the TV and chose a TV series. Then, he set the air-con to the most comfortable temperature. Then, he supported himself on the edge of the bed and went onto the bed of the ward.

Amber got into Jack’s hug and gently moved her body like a kitten.

Jack was in a daze as he looked at the TV.

Suddenly, Amber asked, “Dear, you will never leave me and our baby, right?”

“Of course,” Jack replied with a deep voice and glowing lights could be seen in his eyes.

The breathing of Amber who was in his embrace became stable and deep.

Jack lowered his head and looked at Amber who was sleeping soundly.

She frowned her beautiful eyebrows. Her right hand moved past her chests and tightly grabbed Jack’s lapel. She looked pitiful as if she was afraid of something.

“Be aware of your wife!”

The words on the torn note were engraved on Jack’s brain.

He took a deep breath and lowered his head to gently kiss Amber’s forehead.

“You silly…”

On the other side.

At DT real estate agency.

Mr. Ward was seriously reading all the documents about DT real estate agency.

Corbin Koch respectfully stood beside him. He tidied up the documents while explaining the parts that Mr. Ward didn’t understand.

“You have managed the company well when young master is not around recently.”

Mr. Ward showed a satisfied look while looking at Corbin, “You have been entrusted with the important task by young master and you didn’t disappoint him.”

Corbin scratched his head as he smiled, “Mr. Ward, I have to thank Jack for guiding and supporting me so I can have my success today. I was guided by Jack since I involved myself in this industry.”

Jack had bought DT real estate agency when it was in the most difficult and dangerous situation. It was a miracle that he managed to turn the tide and save DT real estate agency from that crucial situation.

Then, he led DT real estate agency to advance rapidly.

All these had made Corbin and the other employees of DT real estate agency had an overwhelming impression of Jack. They were also completely convinced by Jack.

The fact that DT real estate agency was able to survive and turn losses into profits for the renovation project of West Shantytowns was like a miracle in Corbin and the other employees’ hearts.

As the time passed, after Corbin knew Mr. Ward, he slowly knew Jack’s secret of letting DT real estate agency turning the tide from Mr. Ward.

Even though he didn’t know who was backing Jack up, but he clearly knew that the fact that he followed Jack was the best choice he had made!

“Stop talking nonsense. If you don’t have the capabilities, young master couldn’t help you even if he wanted to support you.”

Mr. Ward laughed while scolding Corbin. It had made Corbin’s face blush.

When Mr. Ward wanted to continue reading the documents, he received a phone call.

Mr. Ward took out his phone and casually had a look.

After looking at the caller’s ID, the smile on his face immediately disappeared. His face became extremely serious.

“Corbin, please go out first.”

After waiting for Corbin to leave, Mr. Ward only took his up phone and answered the important call. He pressed the answer button.

“Old master, have the matter been settled?”

However, on the phone, Patrick Hughes’s words had immediately made Mr. Ward’s body trembled. His expression changed a lot.
