Winner Takes All

Noon.

Jack was busy in the office.

Corbin walked in, "Someone asked the security to send a note, Mr. Hughes."

Jack took the note, opened it and frowned right away.

The content of the note was very simple.

"Meet me at the cafe downstairs."

What really made Jack frown was the signee, Killian.

"Who is it, Mr. Hughes?" Seeing Jack's expression, Corbin asked curiously.

Jack tore up the note and threw it into the trash can, "A dog."

Just then, he got up and walked out.

Killian suddenly wanting to see him was not a good thing.

It was a Greek gift to him.

However, Jack wasn't intended to avoid it. The two were eventually going to battle on stage. The life-or-death struggle was inevitable.

It was lunch break at noon.

People come and go at the cafeteria downstairs.

As soon as Jack walked into the cafe, he saw Killian sitting in the corner by the window.

Killian sat alone quietly, staring at the crowds outside the street, gently stirring the steaming coffee with a spoon in his hand.

He looked ordinary just like people around him.

But who could have thought that he would be a candidate for inheriting Hughes' power and wealth?

"You wanted to see me?"

Jack walked over and sat down.

Killian sat still, glancing at the street outside calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I found out that there are quite a few beautiful women around your company." Jack frowned.

Just then, Killian raised his finger and pointed, "Look at those legs and slender waist... nice."

He shook his head right away, "Sadly it's not challenging at all. I can get her in bed with two million yuan."

"That's it?" Jack became impatient.

Killian turned his head, glanced at Jack with a smile. He looked sorry after taking a sip of coffee.

"Sorry, I didn't know that Katherine was your ex-wife."

"Haha!"

Jack sneered.

Killian leaned on the chair lazily, "So, in order to apologize, I have already kicked her out."

"And then?" Jack frowned and looked at Killian.

Killian's eyes flickered but restored equilibrium right away.

Suddenly, he burst into laughter, "You were right. She is a cheater and there was no fun. I am way over her league."

Jack seemed calm and looked at Killian quietly.

Facing Jack's gaze, Killian had a smile his face. In fact, he was unconsciously gripping the spoon.

"Phew..."

Jack exhaled out of relief, "I am leaving if that's all you had to say."

With that said, he got up was about to leave.

"Tell me, what will happen to her family when she gets home?"

Killian had a faint smile, his eyes flickered, "Look, I've been nice to you. Bet you didn't handle it so decisively back then. I did it. I'm giving you a demonstration."

Demonstration?

Jack stopped walking.

He looked sullen and angry.

There were fierce flashes in his eyes.

He has already made a clean break with Katherine. They owe nothing to each other.

Although the Parrys badgered him over and over again, he didn't blame them. It wasn't because he was soft-hearted, but he felt unnecessary.

Only when they hurt his mother did he angrily fight back.

What about Killian?

He sketched out a dreamy fantasy for the Parrys, just to humiliate Jack.

Killing someone is nothing more than a head falling on the ground. Shattering their dreams was definitely more devastating.

Don't take the person out of the darkness if you never intended to give them light.

What's more, Killian's behavior was more ruthless than dismembering the Parrys!

Jack took a deep breath.

He suppressed the anger and walked outside.

Watching Jack's back, Killian finally showed a confident smile on his face, and whispered softly, "Well... I thought you wouldn't be upset about it." Snapped!

He snapped his fingers and called over a waitress.

Glancing at the petite and good-looking waitress, Killian pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and put a Bauhinia bank card onto the waitress' tray.

He then made a gesture, hinting the waitress to approach and whispered softly, "Spend one night with me and I will give you one million!"

The waitress shivered, and suddenly blushed out of nervousness.

Without staying anything, she stared at Killian in fear.

"You are a prostitute, I can tell. If one million is not enough, let's make it two." Killian leaned on the chair, his eyes were full of disdain, arrogant like an emperor sitting on his throne. The waitress's eyes flickered, while clenching her hands gritting her teeth.

"Three million!" Killian said.

The waitress trembled, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "...Ok."

Jack left the cafe, but he didn't have lunch.

He returned to the office feeling upset.

Killian's sudden visit was like a thorn, stabbed in his heart.

He wasn't a sloppy character, and he wouldn't always worry about Katherine.

He learnt about Killian's character from last night's experience.

So, he was upset about the purpose of his visit.

This state of mind continued until three o'clock in the afternoon.

When Corbin walked into the office, Jack looked up and found that he was upset.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked.

Corbin looked sad and frowned, "Do you remember the material suppliers that Aiden helped us to set up?"

Jack nodded.

"They called just now, saying that they will stop supplying, and are willing to compensate according to the contract." Corbin said.

Jack stopped being upset and calmed down instantly.

Snapped!

The pen in his hand was broken by his thumb.

"So, you came here just to declare a war?"

Jack sneered, "How much did you give Mr. Lott, that he mutinied so quickly?"

"Declare a war? Mutinied? What happened, Mr. Hughes?"

Corbin was confused. Jack obviously knew what had happened.

"It's okay, you may go. EnRich will keep supplying us." Jack waved his hand and said.

Even Aiden has changed his side, Jack had no doubt that all the materials suppliers will boycott DT once again. Fortunately, Amber was the boss of Enrich Building Materials. With her support, DT's project would not be shut down. "But in this way, our project progress will have to slow down." Corbin said.

With the help of several material suppliers, DT's reconstruction project in West Shantytowns was developing rapidly.

It was like a few water pipes filling the pond together. And now there was only one pipe left, so the speed was very slow.

"It's ok."

Jack waved his hand and asked Corbin to leave.

After Corbin left, a helpless expression suddenly appeared on Jack's face.

The word "born" could really stress you out!

Just then.

A WeChat message.

Jack took a look, and he wasn't frustrated anymore.

It was from Amber.

"Jack, I am going back to China next month. Also, my parents want to see you, too."This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
