Winner Takes All

Jack calmly glanced at the name of the incoming caller displayed on his phone.

After stopping her from calling, he blacklisted Katherine's number too.

Just as he was going to blacklist Katherine on WeChat, as expected, Katherine was fast on sending him a text there, "Jack, please see me for the last time, or else I will kill myself!" Her text was exuding resentment and she didn't attempt to conceal her threat at all.

All the more disgusting for Jack.

Back then, he cared for Katherine so greatly that sometimes he even felt like he was a dog sucking up to her.

However, what did he get out of doing that?

He almost lost his mother by being with her.

"Jack, are you trying to push me to the brink of death?"

"Are you all try to kill me?"

"Jack, you should take into account out past. Even though I have committed such grave mistakes, I was still your woman."

"I know that I'm wrong and I can apologize to you. Can we meet for one last time?"

Katherine was sending him text messages furiously.

Despite he was just glancing at those text messages, he could clearly feel the change in Katherine's attitude compared to the past.

"Apologize?" He let out a snort before replying her.

"Let me show you a magic trick."

"What?" Katherine sent back a reply that informed him of her confusion.

Jack slowly sent her a single digit "3", before sending "2" and "1" all in separate text messages. Finally, he sent her a message that told her: I have disappeared.

After sending out this message, he immediately blocked her in his WeChat.

On the other hand, at the Parry family house, Katherine was staring at his final text message and she looked pretty disturbed as a knocking sound was heard outside her room. Elissa was furiously knocking on the door without letting up a second.

"Katherine, open the door now, or else I will ask Kieran to smash through the door!" Elissa was screaming hysterically.

Katherine was turning a blind eye to the noise.

She was still petrified while reading Jack's text message on WeChat, and she was typing up a reply despite not being able to send it.

She knew that Jack had blocked her on his contact list.

Her eyes slowly reddened and tears were slowly welling up and threatening to break free of her eye lashes.

With her whole frame trembling, her eyes were glued to the screen of her phone. Jack's last message was replying itself in her mind.

"I have disappeared."

Without warning, Kathrine broke out in a cry.

"I... I'm the only who has lost you."

Her cries were reverberating in her room.

At that moment, Elissa who was ceaselessly knocking on the door stopped her motion and shouted angrily, "Katherine, you bitch, why are you crying?"

Katherine continued to shudder all over and signs of tears were visible on her cheeks. She heard her mother's reprimand and gnashed her teeth vehemently, trying to mute the sounds of crying. Her lips started to bleed due to her biting her lips too hard.

In the past few days, she had been enduring too much. Now, she had lost it.

Her parent's lectures, her friends and relatives' mockery were fuel to the fire and she had to shoulder the burden of buying a house for Tommy too.

Tommy was her only little brother, and she of course had to help with her brother's once-in-a-lifetime marriage.

She had been shouldering all of this alone.

As memories of Jack and her replayed in her mind, it was as if a knife was being conjured and was twisting through her heart mercilessly.

After learning that Amber had left, she finally was able to muster some courage to get in touch with Jack again,

She was hoping that their meeting this time would reverse the state of affairs and allow her to get back to Jack's side. She remembered now that Jack used to love her a lot.

As long as Jack would return to her side, her current predicament would finally be resolved.

From that day onwards, she swore that she would cherish her life with Jack.

However, Jack's blunt reply had shattered all her longing.

"Why? Why... Jack..."

As she wailed, she also muttered with a bloody scent mixed in with her tears as it merged in her mouth, "I love you so much, and you also love me a great deal. All I have done was just using that two hundred thousand yuan that was supposed to be your mother's medical fees. What's so wrong with that?"

"I know that I was wrong, but you have lied to me too since you never told me that you have that much money. I won't pursue this matter anymore, but why are you being so heartless?"

"Katherine, get the hell out of your room now!"

Elissa was shouting with all her might, and her voice was infused with tremendous fury. She was slamming the door hard too.

"That's enough, didn't you hear her crying?" Kieran was trying to persuade Elissa to stop her antics.

"Crying? How can she have the nerve to cry in this situation?"

Elissa contracted her pupils with her eyebrows raised, "Jack is such a good man, yet she has managed to shun him away. How she cry because of her own mistakes?"

As she pointed to the television, she continued, "Look, not only Jack is the boss of DT real estate agency, he also has sixty percent of the shares of Drago real estate agency. My son-in-law is really capable, yet this Katherine bastard was still able to lose him!"

On the television screen, news about the transfer of some portion of shares from Drago real estate agency to Jack was going on.

As Elissa listened to the reporter describing the news intently, she could feel her heart bleed and her guts become wrenched.

If that fiasco never happened, Jack's wealth would also belong to the Parry family too at that moment.

She had a hard life in the past, but if she had Jack's wealth, she would be able to enjoy her life as a rich madam right now.

The more she thought about her loss, the more she felt infuriated. She was throwing a huge tantrum and was even rolling on the floor while crying herself.

Kieran said calmly, "You can't blame everything on Katherine, right. Back then, all you ever wanted was to let Tommy be able to organize his wedding."

"You useless man, are you standing on my side or not?"

Elissa continued ruthlessly, "Don't you how wealthy is Jack at the moment? The Drago real estate agency is the second biggest property developer in the city. The area we are staying in right now was also developed by them in the first place!"

"You..."

Kieran was overcome with anger too, but he knew that he wouldn't win in a shouting match with Elissa. He could only settle back onto the sofa dejectedly.

With a loud clicking sound, the door to Katherine's room was flung open without warning.

Katherine emerged from her room with a fatigued face and bleary eyes. Her hair was cascaded messily and she was a forlorn sight.

Kieran took a look at her and twitched the muscles of his face slightly. He was feeling sad for her.

Elissa who was originally on the floor sprang up and without paying any attention to her state, she poked Katherine's temples and started to scream, "You finally are willing to come out! You fucking bastard, why are you holing up in here?"

"Look, look at how successful my son-in-law currently is! He even holds sixty percent of the share of Drago real estate agency!"

With a loud slapping sound, Katherine raised her hand and slapped Elissa's hand away.

"Enough!"

She shrieked with an otherworldly voice as if she had finally gone insane.

Both Elissa and Kiera were petrified by her sudden reaction.

Katherine howled in between sobs, "Blame it all on me. You only know how to blame everything one me, and I think that's enough! Did you ever give some thoughts on how the state of affairs had ended up like this?"

"Oh god... You're outrageous. You are even lecturing your mother now?"

Elissa returned to her sense and rolled up her sleeves with a grotesque expression.

All of a sudden, Katherine suddenly slapped herself hard, "Hit me! Don't you always love to use violence? Can you do me a favor and hit me to death?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Elissa froze once again as she was surprised by Katherine's boldness. Despite that, she still continued to berate her, "So you think that you've all grown up? You think that you can fight against me now? There is no longer any place for you in this family. If you think you are so great, you can get lost now!"

Katherine replied with her trembling voice after wiping away some of her tears, "Dad, mum... I'm still your daughter in the end. I am your real blood and flesh daughter, yet why are you treating me like this? Why?"

"You only know how to blame everything on me, what do you take me as? What have I done wrong in this family?"

"If you really think I am the root of all problems, fine. I will get lost. I will get lost now, are you satisfied with that?"

After she finished her sentence, she ran out of the house while crying loudly.

Elissa let out a scream, while Kieran clambered up and gave chase after her.

With a loud slam, the door was slammed shut.

Elissa and Kieran could only stand rooted to the spot with a frozen expression on their faces.0000
