Winner Takes All

After reaching back to TM villa district.

Jack got two consecutive phone calls, which were from Director Lansing and Minister Mable respectively.

Both were good old friends with Warnock, if Jack wanted to look into that matter, after knowing what happened tonight. It would ruin half of Warnock's achievements. So they were pleading for Jack's mercy for Warnock.

After Jack made it clear that he would not investigate the matter, they felt slightly more at ease.

After he hung up the phone, everything seemed to settle down.

Jack was a little melancholy while lying on his bed.

If it weren't for his status as the Hughes' family's young master, perhaps the genuine calligraphy and painting of Tang Yin would have been described as a forgery by Artist Warnock, and he couldn't even defend for himself.

His name and status, he dislikes them, yet he cannot do anything.

If Artist Warnock had known his true identity, he could take a forgery and said it as genuine.

The following two days were calm and quiet.

DT Real Estate Agency's three properties were just as Jack expected. Even though it wasn't as demanding, it was still easy for everything to be sold out in a week.

Jack wanted to see this, DT Real Estate Agency was ultimately too small.

Put aside Drago Real Estate's share, DT at best could only reach top ten in this city.

There was still a long way to reach the top one in this city.

The renovation project for the West Shantytown was a big mistake. It was only turned around by the assistance of Hughes' family.

If they always took the lead in the property market, it would attract unwanted attention from their competitors.

If someone wanted a piece of the pie, it would be a problem.

Jack was very clear that he could settle the matter with Hughes' family's help was just a facade Only when he could grow stronger and walk through the Hughes' family's doors in a dignified manner and bestow his mother her original status.

When that time arrives, only then the power of Hughes' family would indeed be in his hands.

Before that, with the conflict and faction happening in Hughes' family, he wasn't sure that Hughes' family could always lend a helping hand.

If something went wrong in Hughes' family coupled with competitors during that time, it would be a big problem.

Work in silence, and let the success be the noise. This was what Jack wanted to see and to do.

For two days, Amber had approached him many times, Jack replied with patience. Jack was afraid that this silly woman would misunderstand that he was still angry about what happened at Four Impress club that night.

In fact, Amber had always thought he was still upset that she couldn't believe him no matter how Jack tried to explain.

She even tried to visit DT in person, but Jack rejected her.

For the past few days, he had himself focused on the three properties, which had made him exhausted, he really could not meet her.

Only after some persuasion, he finally made Amber stay put and not come over to the company.

Early in the morning.

It was just after dawn.

Jack and Brent were doing fitness exercise when a phone call came.

"Jack, quickly watch the news, there is a big problem!" Corbin was extremely anxious.

"Why, is the sky falling?" Jack humoured.

Corbin was silent for a seconds, and replied in trembling voice, "Yes!"

Jack was dumbfounded; his mind went blank.

He quickly asked Corbin what had happened.

Corbin replied, "YK group announced, that they will postpone their plans to move into our city!"

Boom!

It was horrible news for him.

Jack trembled, while his mind went blank.

Until there was a few seconds, he was disconnected from reality. He also didn't comprehend what Corbin was saying on the phone afterwards.

"Young master, is something wrong?"Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Brent's concern had pulled Jack back to reality.

"Okay, I see."

He suppressed his anger and ended his phone call with Corbin.

Jack tightened his right hand that was holding the phone, and he didn't put it down. The cracking sound made by his hand can be heard, his veins on the back of his hands was protruding.

His eyes were filled with monstrous anger.

This quiet anger had made Brent wince as he watched.

"A final revenge? What a drastic move!" Jack spat out with extreme anger that turned into a laugh.

After a short while of shock and anger, he quickly realized it.

YK group was Hughes' family business. It was Mr. Ward that put up a news that turn the table around for West Shantytown renovation project. With the power of YK group, it made West shantytowns' price skyrocket that fast.

And without exaggeration, if the YK group didn't debunk that news report, the West shantytown housing price would never fall.

And now, YK group suddenly announced that they postponed the project. Jack understood that there was only one person who could do this!

Madam Hughes!

Only Madam Hughes dared to go against his father's will for the entire Hughes' family to order YK group to debunk the news. George and Killian must also know this cunning plan. They couldn't execute it as they didn't have the right to order the YK group. This was a drastic manoeuvre, so cunning.

When the news was out, it would cause the whole project to change in a drastically. It might even cause DT company to crumble. For DT Real Estate Agency, the sky had fallen.

"Young master, what happened?" Brent saw Jack's frustration, and he was worried.

"Nothing, let's call it a day here and head back."

Jack took a deep breath and quickly jogged back his home.

In the living room, the morning news was on.

Mr. Ward was looking gloomy sitting on the couch. Sophie sat next to him and was not looking good as well.

Daisy was preparing breakfast. During this hour, everyone would've craved for Daisy's breakfast.

But now, no one had the mood to enjoy breakfast.

Even Sophie that treated Daisy as if she was her daughter was also the same.

"Mr. Ward, can Jack go through this?" Sophie's voice was deep.

Television was broadcasting the morning news, and it was about YK group announced the termination of moving into the city.

Sophie knew that Jack was the owner of DT Real Estate Agency. It would be a fatal blow for DT Real Estate Agency.

Describing it as a devastating blow for Jack was not exaggerating.

Mr. Ward shook his head, even he was feeling powerless, "It's too treacherous, this news is enough to cause an earthquake in the real estate sector. The deck has been shuffled, and DT is in danger!" The past two West Shantytown pre-sales was always booming.

But it was apparent that either the pre-sales success or the housing price skyrocketed was all because of YK group announcement.

Losing YK group's help, West Shantytown would return to where it was at the beginning.

"Mr. Ward, let him do something." Sophie was determined, "Patrick wouldn't let his son fall into misery!"

Mr. Ward smiled bitterly, “Madam, the old master knows what he is going to do to help young master, I'm pretty sure of it. This manoeuvre is fatal towards young master. It is enough to wipe clean every achievement he ever has. And old master will not let that happen."

"If Patrick can't help him either, does that mean..."

Sophie was anxious. She clenched her hands tightly, "Does that mean that, Jack will meet his doom?"‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
