Winner Takes All novel Chapter 681

All was calm and peaceful in the following week.

Amelia rushed over to see Yael the moment she heard of the news. What Jack never expected was Amelia was so calm and even comforted Vinna. Before Amelia returned to the Quinn residence, she spoke privately with Jack and assured him that she would continue to control the Quinn family. But when Amelia turned to leave, Jack could see that she raised her hand to wipe her tears. Her calm and steadfastness were an act for him to see.

The days became routine after Amelia departed. Everything seemed normal except for Vinna who remained by Yael’s side at the LJ Hospital. Old Master Vaughn also came to visit Yael but his heart ached when he saw Vinna and could only return to the Capital with a lump in his throat. Old Master Vaughn knew that regardless of how he persuaded Vinna, she would not leave Yael’s side.

Jack was also clear that the calm that they were experiencing was due to the mystery man who continued to protect him and sheltered Jack from the repeated attempts on his life. Jack had never worried about the consequences of killing George. George deserved to die for what he did to Amber and Yael, regardless of the price tag.

Jack endeavored to stick to the routine of going from home to DT agency and then back home unless there was something important for him to attend to.

Amber’s abdomen continued to grow daily and she needed his undivided attention as a husband. Jack and Amber would also go to the hospital every other day to visit Brent and Yael.

On this afternoon.

Jack had just completed his meal with a business associate and settled the terms of their cooperation for an upcoming project. As he wheeled himself out of the restaurant, he saw a girl running frantically towards him. The girl ran into Jack, tripped, lost her balance, and fell into his embrace. Her fragrance immediately overwhelmed Jack.

Suddenly, Jack felt something soft on his face. Jack reacted instantly and carried the girl by her waist so that her bosom would not come in contact with his face. Jack was bewildered when the girl took several steps back.

The girl was young, fair, and tied her hair into two ponytails. What caught Jack’s attention were her eyes. She had a pair of large round blue eyes which were mesmerizing. But what the girl said immediately caused Jack to frown.

“I’m sorry, I did this on purpose.”

‘What’s the meaning of this?’ Jack thought. Jack wasn’t a petty person who was easily offended but what she said irked him.

‘What kind of apology was this? Did she do it intentionally? Was she trying to instigate something?’ Jack thought.

“This isn’t an interesting prank.” Jack frowned as he rebuked.

The girl stuck out her tongue cheekily and then reached out her hand and smiled, “I’m Jenny Kool, nice to meet you.”

“Jenny Kool?” Jack repeated the name as it was a very strange name. But when he thought of the way the girl behaved, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m sorry, I’m leaving now.”

Jenny was dumbfounded. She looked on as Jack wheeled past her and towards a distance before she came to her senses and then stomped angrily, “Damn it, so many people are trying to get my attention and I don’t even give them a chance. Now to think that you actually ignored me?”

Jenny ran after Jack and grabbed the handlebars of the wheelchair, preventing Jack from leaving.

“What do you want?” Jack started to get agitated. He didn’t think well of a girl who intentionally ran into him and then was so unreasonable. Even though this girl was very attractive, and even though they had an awkward intimate encounter. But these were not reasons to lower his bottom line. Furthermore, it was she who had done those on purpose.
