Winner Takes All

The cool night breeze whistled softly with mild rains.

Katherine gazed at her phone blankly. Jack's reply was like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart.

"Katherine, please go in. He is still waiting for you," Tommy urged without knowing about the message his sister received from Jack.

Katherine raised her hand, wiped away her tears, and walked towards the restaurant. She slowly raised her head and looked at the night sky. She smiled in despair, "After all, am I still the one who bear everything?"

The restaurant was a little dim.

The dim and dusky light, with soothing and melodious music, had made this restaurant the best place for couples to date.

In the corner, Ben Hall, previous head of the DT, leaned lazily on the sofa. He touched his bald head from time to time and smiled lustily while looking at Katherine's photo.

Marriage at his age would be considered super late.

But he did not mind and did not want to get married because he hadn't had enough fun.

His sister married a rich brother-in-law. They helped him to live a privileged life.

He had used his power to sexually harass female subordinates when he was the boss of DT real estate agency. Even when DT real estate agency was sold by his brother-in-law, he hid the contract with sky- high price from his brother-in-law and went on as a member of management at his other company.

Marriage meant responsibility. He could womanize without fear. Why would he give up an entire forest for merely one tree?

The reason he had agreed to the blind date tonight was that he had a thought after looking at the pretty woman in the photo.

If he could spend some money and have some fun that night, why not?

"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Ben Hall?"

Katherine frowned and looked at Ben in front of her with intense disgust-old and bald with an extremely awful body shape. She even just witnessed Ben's disgusting smile when he was ogling her photo.

And the old man in front of her was also Jack's former boss.

All of these made her gross.

"Are you Katherine Parry?" Ben was turned on and he blew his mind for a moment when he saw Katherine.

Katherine was fabulous. Her figure, appearance and her age witnessed her most charming time of a lady.

However, Ben still quickly returned to his senses, pretending as a gentleman to pull out a chair for Katherine, "Miss Parry, be seated, please."

Katherine sat down coldly as she replied, "Thank you."

Ben was not concerned about it. He smiled and took his seat, "Let me introduce myself. I am Ben Hall. Miss Parry in real is much prettier than the photo." Katherine smiled politely.

Snap!

Ben made a signal with his fingers, "Waiter, order please."

Getting the menu, he handed it over to Katherine and then put the waiter off.

"Miss Parry, feel free to order whatever you like. I'll pay the bill."

Katherine had no desire to order and just casually looked at it. She just didn't want to see Ben's greasy and lustful old face while thinking of ways to get out of the awkward situation. Suddenly, a large hand touched the back of Katherine's hand.

Katherine trembled, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly back off, "Mr. Hall, what are you doing?"

"Miss Parry's hand is so smooth." Ben withdrew his right hand with a lusty smile. He even put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it without caring about Katherine's discomfort. He said calmly, "Go ahead, name your price?"

"What?!"

Katherine was stunned.

"Name your price!" Ben did not bother to hide it any longer, "I am going to own you tonight!"

Boom!

Katherine's pretty face turned pale as if she was struck by lightning.

Wasn't this a blind date?

A strong sense of humiliation erupted.

She slammed the menu on the table and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Hall, are you insulting me? If you come for this purpose, I don't think there's any reason to continue this blind date anymore." "Stop fucking pretending. What makes you think that I called you Miss Parry? Is it because of politeness?" Ben smiled oddly.

Katherine reacted sharply, Miss... There is another meaning to it!

Her look was abruptly cold to the extreme, and a surge of anger rose.

"I've seen too many women like you. Do you think I don't know what you are doing in the name of a blind date?"

Ben laughed out and said, "That old woman named Tanner is a procurer, right? Oh my god. When she introduced you to me, she talked about money all the time. She could not wait to send you to my house right away as soon as I pay. Why are you still pretending in front of me?"

Katherine instantly went blank.

Why did Mom introduce such a disgusting bastard to me?

I'm her daughter! How could she say that?

At this moment, Katherine was heartbroken and her mind was blank.

"Sorry, I'm leaving first." She said coldly with the remaining sanity as she turned around to leave.

However, Ben suddenly raged and grabbed Katherine's wrist, "Leaving? You are my fucking prey and you want to run away?"

"Ah! Let me go!"

Katherine was completely panicked. She suddenly thought of Jack and screamed loudly, "Ben Hall, I am Jack Hughes's wife. He's the boss of your company!"

"Stop screaming. Why are you so reserved? Don't you just want money?"

Ben still took the gloves off. As soon as he heard that Katherine was Jack's wife, his eyes kindled, "Good, that son of bitch really has the guts! His wife's here to date me. She must have had numerous affairs." Before this, he didn't know much about Katherine. Katherine had never been to DT real estate agency though Jack had worked there for three years. So Ben didn't know Katherine at all.

However, it was even more determined that he must own Katherine tonight with Jack involved.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

This was kind of revenge against Jack!

Ben laughed rampantly and pulled out three piles of cash from his wallet and smashed it at Katherine, "Here is thirty thousand yuan, all for you!"

"Son of bitch, you bastard!"

Katherine exploded. She viciously picked up the cash and smashed it on Ben's face.

All the humiliation, all the anger, all the grievances, burst out at this moment.

Hit by the banknotes, Ben staggered backward with a scream, and let Katherine go.

Katherine cried as she ran out of the hotel under the watchful eyes of the public.

Tommy was playing Arena of Valor in the Audi when he heard Katherine crying. He was shocked.

He got off the car hurriedly and rushed towards her, "Katherine, what's up?"

"Stop fucking following me!"

Katherine bursts into tears and stormed off, leaving Tommy in a daze.

Katherine ran and cried all the way under the rainy night sky. She so much more humiliated than that night when she dated Jack. She even wanted to kill herself. Finally, she got tired of running and sat on the ground.

Looking at the empty road, she suddenly didn't know where to go, as if she had been abandoned by the world.

Suddenly, a glimpse of radiance flashed in her eyes.

She hastily pulled out her phone and dialed Jack's number.

Beep...

As soon as the phone rang, it was hung up.

Katherine kept dialing, but got hung up again.

After repeating it several times, teary-eyed Katherine finally could not stand it anymore. She sent a message to Jack.

"Jack! Are you that heartless? We were a couple. Don't you even have the courage to answer my call? I need you. I want you to stay with me!"

After waiting for five minutes, she got no reply.

Katherine kept sobbing and shivering. She looked at the phone, clenched her teeth, and sent another message.

"Answer me, will you? Do you know who I dated tonight? It was your boss, Ben Hall. He was insulted me and treated me like a prostitute!"

It was another long wait. When Katherine was almost torn apart, she received a message.

Ding!

"It's all because of your mom!"

He squinted his cold eyes, with his hand grabbing his phone so hard.

"Is it to humiliate me?"

While murmuring, he picked up his phone and dialed Mr. Ward's number.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
