Winner Takes All

"Are you talking to me?" George said angrily as he gritted his teeth.

Every one of the young of the family wanted to take over the big family.

But the old master just expected a bastard back to take charge.

That was undoubtedly a way of slapping on their faces.

As elite descendants of the family, how could they leave his seat to this bastard?

Jack smirked as he said, "Let's go home, Brent."

George felt like he had been ignored.

He was burned up with angry eyes.

But he knew, as long as Brent was there, he couldn't beat Jack.

The old master assigned his close security guard Brent to protect Jack. That clearly showed how much Jack meant to him.

"You will see how elites differentiate from bastards," George sneered.

Returning home, Jack threw himself into the couch.

"Thank you for doing that."

Brent shook his head, "That was my job."

Jack laughed in relief.

If it wasn't because of Brent, he couldn't even imagine what George would have done to him.

Just as Mr. Ward said, these people have the nerve to murder.

"Brent, you said that you taught George fighting?"

"Right," replied Brent.

"Teach me then," Jack said in a determined look.

What George did just now made him feel nerve-racking.

He wasn't afraid of losing what he had, but of George's ignorance towards his life.

He suddenly felt like being exposed to tremendous danger. He really needed to protect his mom, in addition to himself.

In the next few days, before starting a busy working day, Jack worked out with Brent in the park in the morning.

Everything went smooth as planned.

Sophie was getting better and better.

And after that morning, George was gone.

With a blink of an eye, it was September 1st.

It was 1:00PM, and Jack didn't get round to have lunch. He had to check the presales proposal of the West Shantytowns.

With its infrastructure almost done, it had been on sales recently.

Jack was very satisfied with the presales and confident about the sales performance of the properties.

It was finally time to reap as he put so much effort into this project.

Jack rubbed his nose with a frown as he thought of something.

He took out his phone and scanned through the messages.

Suddenly, his eyes were frozen.

Looking at the message from Amber, he finally remembered she was coming back.

Amber said, "Jack, are you at the airport?"

And this was sent half an hour ago.

Shit!

How could he forget this?

Jack felt annoyed As they already made an appointment a few days ago.

He was so busy that he had to stand her up?

Jack quickly replied, "Amber, are you still at the airport? I am sorry. I am so tied up today, and I mute my phone."

Ding!

"Still here," Amber replied.

"I am coming to pick you," Jack felt very guilty as he took his coat and hurried to the airport.

It was crowded there.

Amber wore a sunhat, a long white dress, and shite sneakers, sitting at the corner.

She was in such a simple look, but she still caught everyone's eyes because she was really gorgeous.

"Still the same as you used to be, workaholic," Amber complained slightly.

Jack, Katherine and she were college mates, and she knew a lot about Jack and his family.

After graduation, to marry Katherine, Jack became a workaholic.

She looked through the windows and saw the gray sky outside.

Amber replied with a little sadness, "It is going to rain."

When she sent that message to Jack half an hour ago, she already landed.

She didn't get any reply from him, and she didn't leave.

After three years away, the first person she wanted to meet was Jack.

She wanted to restart their relationship here at the airport.

But as she saw, Jack was such a workaholic that he forgot their appointment.

After her short grievance, Amber took a deep breath, and showed a joyful smile.

"It's alright, Jack. I know you are very hard working."

When Jack finally arrived at the airport, another 40 minutes passed.

The sky was so dark. It rained cats and dogs.

When Jack ran into the airport all wet, he found Amber sitting in the corner all bored.

After being apart for three years, Amber was still as charming as before, but looked a bit more mature now.

"Amber, Sorry. I'm late," Jack said guiltily.

When Amber saw Jack, with a grin on her face, she stood up and gave him a big hug. She didn't mind he was all wet.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hey workaholic, it's been a long time!"

"Hey, hey, you are going to get wet."

Jack yelled out, and tried to push her away.

Amber let go of him and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't even mind."

Jack was speechless as he took her two big suitcases and said, "Let's go. I already reserved a table. You must be hungry."

Amber said with her hand pressing her stomach, "I am starving to death."

Jack laughed and left the airport with Amber.

"By the way, it's raining so heavily. why not bring an umbrella?" Amber asked.

"I left in a hurry and forgot to take one." Jack said.

Amber frowned, "What if you catch a cold? Still don't know how to take care of yourself."

Jack laughed. But he didn't notice that Amber spoke differently.

They left the airport.

Because of the heavy rain, the parking lot was already empty.

"Where is the car?" Amber asked confusedly.

"The rain is too heavy, so some airlines will be delayed, and the taxis are probably all gone with their last guests."

Feeling a bit awkward, he was in such a hurry that he forgot to tell the driver to wait for him.

Amber was surprised, "No, I mean, where is your car?"

Jack said, "I never bought a car."

"So we won't be able to leave here?"

Amber lowered her head disappointedly, but then she suddenly raised her head again with a smile, and snipped her fingers, "Don't worry. I will find a way."

After saying that, she ran out into the rain.

"Amber, get back here. What if you catch a cold!" Jack yelled.

"It's okay. At worst, we can share the medicine." Amber replied.

Jack was stunned. She was still the young girl as before.

But, he was also curious. She hadn't been back for three years. What idea could she have?

20 minutes later, a Porsche 911 was approaching them and stopped in front of Jack.

Jack was stunned. He saw Amber sitting in the car all wet.

She laughed, "Get in the car. Let's go home."

"Where did you get this car?" Jack was surprised as he put the luggage in the trunk.

Amber said as she pointed out of the window, "When I left three years ago, they were building an automobile sales service shop there. I just went over there and bought this."

She bought a Porsche 911!

Just so easy?

Jack subconsciously put his hand in the pocket as he remembered his Bauhinia bank card.

Why didn't think of this?☐☐☐☐☐
