Winner Takes All

"I'm here down the mountain."

Amber sounded calm on the phone.

It made Jack frown and confused.

Then Amber's calm voice rang on the phone again.

"Are you sure that you'll propose to me?"

Jack frowned even more and smiled, "Of course, I've been preparing for this day for a long time."

Jack just finished his words.

Steve Knight's voice suddenly rang on the phone.

"Jack Hughes, what is going on with the photos?"

Bang!

Jack looked as if he had been trucked by lightning and felt depressed. His mind went blank.

Something was wrong!

He got extremely angry instantly.

There was only one reason since Amber had known about it.

Katherine... hadn't deleted the photos as she promised.

Instead, she sent those photos to Amber.

Jack said hastily, "Wait for me, Mr. Knight. I'm coming right now."

Hanging up the phone, Jack hurriedly asked Brent to drive him there. They drove fast down the mountain. All the others were left and felt stunned.

Jack was furious with anger in his eyes all the way.

He clenched his hands. The blue veins on his hands protruded out.

Jack had never expected that he had been tolerant to satisfy the Parry family; while his plan failed at the key moment.

He had spent long time preparing so well and carefully for this proposal all by himself.

Jack wouldn't accept any unexpected situations when he and Amber were about to get married!

On the mountain road.

The black Mercedes-Benz G-Class was parked by the roadside quietly.

After they passed the area surrounded by the media, it was very silent around them.

Amber sat in the back seat, looking upset. She looked out of the window and her eyes were red.

She had considered to go to the mountain and accepted the proposal. She wanted to finish the proposal at least. After that, Amber would ask about the confusion kept in her mind for a long time. However, she failed to persuade herself whatever she tried.

Those photos were like a hurdle that she couldn't get over

"Amber hasn't said anything yet. Why did you interrupt?" Rosie looked at Steve with a little anger.

Steve looked serious and was about to talk.

Amber waved her hand and said, "Mommy, it's OK. I would ask him as well even if daddy didn't."

Her eyes twinkled and she murmured with her red lips, "Since he wants to propose to me, I hope that it is perfect. I don't want it to be imperfect and to feel regretful when I recall the proposal later." Since it was a proposal, Amber wanted it to be perfect. When she recalled it in the future, she would smile happily every time.

Rosie frowned and stayed silent.

Indeed, it was good for everyone to figure it out in advance.

Her daughter couldn't endure the grievance for nothing.

Steve hugged Amber, "Amber, daddy and mommy are here. No one can hurt you!"

The Rolls-Royce came to them fast in the distance.

Steve said with some discontent, "Who he thinks he is? Why is he showing off?"

"He is still too young," Rosie sighed.

Creak!

The Rolls-Royce stopped.

Jack quickly got off and walked to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Amber and her parents also got off the car.

Steve firstly threw the photos in his hands on Jack's face.

"Jack Hughes, what will you explain for it?"

Seeing the photos over the ground, Jack felt anger boiling up inside him.

But he knew that he shouldn't be angry at this moment. Instead, he had to explain to Amber.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Knight. It was a quick and normal meeting. I didn't expect it to be made use of by someone having ulterior motives."

Jack said that very carefully with a serious look.

"Ha-ha, being made use of it?" Steve sneered, "Who made use of it? Don't tell me that Katherine took advantage of you. She asked to meet you and took photos on purpose in order to separate you and Amber?"

Jack was speechless and his eyes flickered.

That was the fact, though.

According to Steve's reaction, he wouldn't believe it even though Jack said so!

"Amber..."

Jack intended to walk to Amber, but he was stopped by Steve.

"Mr. Knight, could you please let me go there?" Jack almost implored.

"Say it right here if you have anything to tell us," said Steve with a tough tone.

Steve would have already come to ask Jack at the first moment of the day he saw the photos, if Amber didn't stop him.

They had never been wronged like this with the status of the Knight family!

"..."

Jack was a little speechless. He looked at Amber fondly, "Amber, you also think so?"Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Jack, I need your explanation!" Amber pinched her red lips. There were tears in her red eyes again.

"The Parry family has made me so miserable. Katherine even almost killed my mom. How could I go back to her again?"

Jack was inwardly furious. At this moment, all he had for Katherine and the Parry family was hatred!

"I met Katherine on that day. It was because that Katherine would leave this city. She wanted to see me one last time. I..."

"Oh? She wanted to see you one last time, so you went there?"

Steve laughed, "You say that the Parry family has made you miserable, but you are quite generous. Katherine wanted to see you one last time, and then you just went there." Jack got worried at once.

Steve didn't let him explain to Amber at all.

He actually was making it worse.

But Jack still said patiently, "Sorry, I'm so sorry, Mr. Knight and Mrs. Knight. I thought that was only a simple meeting. I didn't expect it to get so worse."

"Please trust me. I love Amber and I'm serious. I'll never cheat on her."

Jack point to the top of TM Villa District while saying so.

"Tonight, I'll promise Amber there!"

"You are just talking whatever you want. Now that you want to promise Amber, why did you go to meet Katherine?" Steve insisted on asking about it and looked angry. Amber couldn't stop her tears, nestling against her mother.

Facing Jack, Amber weakly said, "Is this so hard for you to explain, Jack?"

Having been questioned by Steve, now Jack heard Amber saying so.

Jack suddenly felt depressed.

He was red-eyed and begged Amber, "I am explaining. Do you believe me? Is it so hard for you to believe me for one time?"

"What is the explanation on earth?" Steve raged, "That's no use. Who can prove it for you?"

Steve just said that.

Jack trembled and shouted loudly, "Stop it, Mr. Knight! Do you want me to explain or are you breaking up me and Amber?"

Bang!

Jack's words made them astonished.

Steve startled.

Rosie frowned a lot.

Amber raised her hand to wipe the tears around her eyes, "Jack, that's how you talk to my dad?"

Jack immediately realized it.

Knowing that he hadn't talked politely, Jack hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, Mr. Knight. I shouldn't speak to you like that."

"That's enough! Let's go, daddy and mommy."

Amber's words made Jack frustrated. He felt like falling into abyss.

When he came back to sense, Amber and her parents had already got on the car.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class turned to drive down the mountain.0000000
