The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 11 He is Really Rich

In a deep trance, Shirley felt like dreaming.

What a coincidence!

This Jack Tommy described was nothing close to the one she met in the bank.

But the stern face she saw just now was so impressive.

She was thoroughly humiliated that night. How could she forget that face?

“Oh ya, I forget you’re now completely strapped.”

Tommy didn’t sense Jack’s grimace and continue to mock him. “Too bad, huh? If you’d just let your

mom pass, you wouldn’t have to divorce my sister. Now you lost everything.”

Jack clenched his fist with veins clearly seen on his arms.

Ever since he married Katherine, he had always been mistreated in the Parry family. Moreover,

Katherine sided with her family, which gave him an even lower status.

Things didn’t get better when he became the deputy general manager of the real estate agency over

the three years. He even supported the Parry family financially so often. But the Parry family was still

not satisfied.

Before, Jack used to forbear all of it for the sake of Katherine.

But now, he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Shirley, come look at my useless ex brother-in-law,” Tommy waved at Shirley with a sneer.

When Jack saw Shirley in the car, he unclenched his fist. All his rage disappeared. He even felt funny.

Useless ex brother-in-law?

With a peculiar smile, Jack took a slanted glance at Tommy. There was a signal of sympathy in his

eyes.

With staggering footsteps, she got off the car. Her eyes fixated on Jack.

Looking at Jack’s smile, Shirley blushed. She thought of the night a week ago.

At the same time, she was restless.

Would he tell Tommy what happened that night?

Shirley was not stupid. Tommy was just her tool. Even though she wanted to play up to Jack, she

couldn’t afford to leave Tommy before she got together with Jack.

In other words, Tommy was her back up, and Jack was her target.

If Jack got ticked off and exposed Shirley to what happened that night, she would be done.

“Come over, Shirley, let me introduce...”

Tommy held her hand without smelling her mixed emotions. Shirley instinctively tried to shake his hand

off, but Tommy held tight and flaunted at Jack. “This is Jack, the loser ex brother-in-law I told you. He

just divorced my sister, and you know what? He was the one who broke off the marriage. Funny, won’t

you say?”

“Hi… hi, brother-in-law.” Shirley bowed her head in deep embarrassment, trying to escape from Jack’s Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

sight.

“Hey hey, why call him brother-in-law?” Tommy frowned and corrected her, “That was past tense. Just

call him Jack.”

“Stop it, Tommy.” Shirley said anxiously with a frown.

Right at that moment, Jack smiled at Tommy. “Is this your girlfriend?”

“Of course. Is this the first time you had met such a beauty?” Tommy raised his head arrogantly.

Jack nodded and gave him a thumb-up, “Your girlfriend is awesome!”

Shirley shook and felt her face burning.

To Tommy, Jack was complimenting Shirley.

To Shirley, Jack was teasing her, just as he did with the note he left her that morning.

“You don’t say?” Tommy narrowed his eyes and sneered, “Actually, we’re getting married in a week.

Too bad you country pumpkin left my sister for your dying mom. You know my sister was doing you a

favor of marrying you, right? You could have been able to attend my wedding, but not anymore.”

Jack sneered back. There was no sign of waver in his eyes.

His mother was his everything.

Even if he had another chance, he would still divorce Katherine.

Katherine was willing to support a deadbeat like Tommy, but not him.

“Enough!”

Suddenly, Shirley flung away Tommy’s hand. “You went overboard, Tommy! Apologize to Jack right

now!”

Boom!

The arrogant Tommy was stunned.

“Shirley, why are you so mad? And why should I apologize? I did nothing wrong!”

Shirley’s face was boiling, “You’re being impudent with Jack! I won’t let you treat him like this.”

Shirley burst into anger for two reasons. Firstly, she wanted to stop Tommy from continue mocking

Jack, since Jack might expose her to the event that night if Tommy ticked him off.

Secondly, she actually favored Jack, and was trying to leave him a good impression.

Tommy didn’t get it. “Impudent? He divorced with my sister. I drive this luxury car and greet him. I’ve

showed my respect to him.”

Greet?

Respect?

Shirley got mad. How ignorant Tommy must had been speaking like this!

She always knew he was a deadbeat, a mama’s boy.

Now only she knew he was not only useless, but also stupid!

Shirley roared at Tommy, “Just who do you think you are? Think you’re a big shot just because you

drive a luxury car? You’re just a deadbeat!”

Tommy was completely dazed. This was the first time Shirley had lashed out at him like this since they

got together!

What happened next completely blew his mind.

Shirley turned to Jack with a bow and said with great humility, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Hughes, I didn’t know

he’ll act like that. I thought he just wanted to introduce you to me. I apologize on his behalf.”

“Are you crazy, Shirley? Why are you apologizing to him?” Tommy said in disbelief.

Shirley ignored him.

Jack shrugged with a smile, “Seems like there’s none of my business here. All right, I gotta go.”

As Jack left, Shirley got so pissed off that she glared at Tommy with her teeth gritting.

“Shir… Shirley, you…” Tommy finally came back to hismself.

Slap!

Before Tommy finished his sentence, Shirley slapped his face. “You idiot! He is the client I just told

you!”

Bang!

Tommy was dumbstruck as if hit by a lightning.

As Shirley stormed back into the car, he hurriedly followed.

Getting back into the car, Tommy was still in disbelief. “Shirley, you must have been mistaken. How can

Jack be your client? He’s just a pauper. My family need money for your bride price, right? He divorced

my sister just because she gave my family his 200 thousand yuan. He told my sister to return the

money for his mother’s hospital bill!”

“How can he be rich since he did something like that?”

Shirley boiled with anger.

‘Even animals have feelings. Your family robbed his money he’s gonna use to save his mother, and you

expect him to stay with your sister?’

However, she didn’t want to waste time arguing with Tommy. She simply said through her gritted teeth,

“He’s really rich.”

She then gazed at the hospital in deep thought.

Tommy was stunned by Shirley’s words.

He sneered, “That’s impossible. He’s just a country pumpkin. He can’t be rich. Otherwise he wouldn’t

have divorced my sister over that 200 thousand yuan.”

Shirley couldn’t help chuckling bitterly after hearing what he said.

She was completely speechless towards Tommy’s bizarre perception.

Was it really just about the 200 thousand yuan?
