The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 10 Encounter

Early next morning, Jack went to his mother at the hospital with breakfast.

She was getting better and better and could go home soon.

Thanks to Mr. Ward, she got taken good care of in every possible way. Jack was quite reassured.

Then, Jack should focus on the West Shantytowns project.

It was the first time that he had come to the public to work on a project for himself.

Although he fully ran the business at DT before, Ben, the jerk, falsely claimed the credit as his own

after all.

But now, Jack would not only finish the project successfully but also make DT well-known.

More importantly, he wanted to prove his ability to his father.

Having abandoned and betrayed them for 20 years, the old master finally appeared to make up for

what he had done.

Jack got the problem solved with Mr. Ward’s money.

He clearly knew money was important, but he didn’t think money could make up for everything.

His father, who he had never met, was essentially making a deal with him.

If he succeeded, he could gloriously return to the family with his mother as the successor to take

charge of everything in the big family. More importantly, he could make his mother the most honorable

lady.

But if he failed, life would likely be as tough as before, as if his father never existed.

The only difference was that he had a Bauhinia bank card in his pocket.

Jack had been striving along with his mother for 20 years. She devoted everything to him. Even if it

was not for himself, Jack had to get the glory back to his mother. They should have had that.

Jack slowly walked out of the hospital, pondering the tricky project.

Meanwhile, Tommy, in his Audi A4, was trapped in the traffic jam outside the hospital.

He slapped the wheel with anger.

"Damn it. What the hell? Their damn cars cost only hundred thousand. How dare these fucking idiots

drive their cheap cars to block my road?"

Sitting on the passenger seat, Shirley slightly frowned, "Are you a Road Rage, Tommy? What's wrong

with you? They drive their cars which cost a hundred thousand. But you don’t even have that money,

do you?"

"Wasn’t I just afraid you’re gonna be late for work?"

Tommy changed the topic with a flattering smile, "You know what, sweetheart, you said you were

gonna take a shower last night when I invited you to play the Arena of Valor. Why didn't you come

back? I got another MVP in the game..."

"Can’t you be like an adult?" Shirley rolled her eyes and scolded, "I was too tired to waste time on you.

So I hit the sack after the shower."

Actually, Shirley had been so upset and muddled. Of course, however, she wouldn't tell Tommy the

fact.

Tommy got a bit upset with a frown.

"What's wrong with your boss? You are just a bank teller. Why they make you so tired? You worked

overnight a week ago, didn’t you?"

Shirley was flustered with flickering eyes. She lowered her head down, trying not to look at Tommy. She

was afraid that Tommy might smell something.

But he could only felt that Shirley was just tired at work.

Tommy said with sympathy, "It's OK, sweetheart. My parents will prepare the bride price in a week. We

can soon marry then. If you don’t wanna work, let me make our living."

"Will you really able to?" Shirley asked with a sneer.

Tommy paused. Then he answered with a chuckle, "Trust me I can do that. You are my wife!"

"How can you support me if I don’t go to work?" asked Shirley.

Tommy waved his hand, "Sure I can. I have Katherine. No worry. She has just divorced the loser

bother-in-law. My mom is now busy hunting a rich guy for her. We don't need to worry about the money

then."

Frowning more tightly, Shirley disgusted with Tommy suddenly.

Tommy didn't feel ashamed at all while saying so. How could he take it for granted?

How could a mommy's boy get so proud?

She even felt a little bit guilty towards Katherine.

Taking a deep breath, Shirley oddly asked, "How come you treat your sister like that?"

"Isn't that what she should do? She is my sister. After getting married, we will have a son to carry on

my family name. She’s supposed to help me," Tommy said boldly.

That annoyed Shirley more. She even wanted to slap his face.

Because of their marriage, Katherine divorced and Jack became an unlucky wretch.

She suddenly felt sympathetic towards the man named Jack.

‘Poor guy.’ A little bitterness flashed through Shirley's eyes.

Shirley asked with a squint, "Tommy, your former brother-in-law Jack…Is he really poor?"

"Oh well...He comes from the countryside. How could he have that much money?" Tommy rolled his

eye. "Why do you ask about this again?"

Shaking her head, Shirley thought she was madly thinking of the man.

Names like Jack were quite common. She didn’t even aware that Jack just didn’t skip out of her mind.

Shirley explained, "A week ago, a client also named Jack came to withdrew money with a bank card I This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

didn't know at all. So I was pretty impressed. You said your former brother-in-law is called Jack as well.

That's why I asked again."

"HaHaHa... What are you thinking about, Shirley? How could it be possible?"

Tommy laughed his head off and said with disdain, "Jack, the wimp, is a total useless man. He does

have something—working at a real estate company as the deputy general manager.

But he got a dying mother with cancer. All he earned has all been burned to the hospital. If he is that

rich, I'll write my name backwards!"

Dying mother?

Shirley felt a shiver inside. She suddenly recalled the message Jack replied by last night.

Was this...a coincidence as well?

Tommy continued with a sneer, "But the Jack you met was pretty awesome. Even you didn't know the

bank card he had. He must be wealthy. My former brother-in-law has the same name. Why are they so

different?"

All of a sudden, out of the corner of his eyes, Tommy glimpsed the doorway of LJ Hospital. A familiar

figure appeared.

Tommy smiled scornfully and said, "Shirley, you haven't met my former brother-in-law, right? What a

coincidence. I'll introduce him to you and you’ll know how terrible he is."

After saying so, he quickly turned the wheel.

Getting out of the traffic, he drove his Audi into the gate of LJ Hospital.

Shirley was startled by Tommy and screamed, "Are you crazy, Tommy? Do you want to die driving like

this on the road?"

Creak!

They stopped in front of Jack.

Jack stood still with a cold frown while he was thinking about the reconstruction of West Shantytowns.

The Audi almost crashed on Jack.

If Jack didn't stop, he would be hit far away.

"Tommy?"

Jack angrily stared at Tommy getting out of his car. He then coldly asked, "Are you trying to kill me?"

"HaHa... Jack. Just made some fun. You scare? Sorry about that," Tommy sneered indifferently.

A lot of fun, huh?

Jack looked serious immediately. ‘Making fun of someone's life?’

Tommy didn't care much about how Jack felt. He raised his hands and pointed to LJ hospital, "Again,

you come here...to see your mother?"

"Yep," Jack answered coolly.

"She’s not good now, is she?"

Smiling weirdly, Tommy shrugged, "You are my former brother-in-law anyway. I must tell you. Your

mother is going to die soon. So don’t need to waste money anymore. Why not just let her go quickly

and leave yourself some bucks."

Crack!

Jack clenched his fists with the knuckles cracking out loud.

Meanwhile, Shirley was completely stunned in the Audi.

Gazing at Jack with a cold face, she felt like a hammer was hitting heavily on her. Jack’s face was as

cold as that in her mind.

She covered her mouth firmly with her nice thin hands. She almost screamed out.

‘It was really...him!’
