Winner Takes All

Katherine's life had changed totally after the thunderstorm last night. It was as if she emerged from hell and ascended to paradise. She wanted so much to live in a lap of luxury and experience a superior

status. But in the past, she could only dream about it.

After she divorced Jack, her heart ached bitterly when Jack had that sudden change of fortunes and ended up living at the TM Villa district. But she didn't expect that now she was also able to become a lady of one of the villas at the TM district.

"The wheels of fortune keep turning. Jack, who do you think you are? I can live equally well even without you!" Katherine thought. The villa at Hillside crest was definitely the peak of luxury and the most expensive property in the city. One villa here cost more than a hundred million yuan!

When Killian brought her around the villa, Katherine was immersed in excitement. She felt breathless and her heart almost jumped out of her chest. This was such a sudden change of events!

To think that the near-accident actually changed her entire life! All these made her feel dizzy and as if she was floating. When she walked with Killian to the rooftop terrace, Katherine couldn't resist and dove into Killian's embrace.

"Killian, you really do love me! Thanks so much. I'm so lucky to have met you!”

Killian adjusted his spectacles and said tenderly, "You are my woman. I've never seen such an attractive woman. That's why I want to give you all that I have."

A gentle breeze blew. Their eyes met and they gently kissed for a long period.

"Killian, can you send me home? I would like you to meet my parents." Katherine grabbed onto his hand excitedly. She was worried that if she were to relax her grip, he would disappear from her. Since Killian was willing to give her everything, then her only thought now was to bring Killian to meet her parents.

Her parents would be extremely happy to know that Killian not only lived at the TM Villa district and but he also lived at the Hillside Crest. Even more importantly, now she can finally help her brother! She believed that since Killian was willing to let her live at the villa, then he should be willing to help her brother Tommy.

"Okay."

Killian promptly agreed and pondered for a moment. He then took out a card in his pocket and said, "This card has a million yuan in the account. It'll be a meeting gift for uncle and auntie. Do you think that it's appropriate?"

Good lord! A million yuan? How could that be considered inappropriate?!

Katherine's heart pounded wildly, composed herself, and shook her head, "It's certainly acceptable! My parents are very easy going."

If she wasn't blacklisted by Jack, she would immediately call him or message him through Wechat to boast about it. What was so great about Jack? She simply took two hundred thousand yuan from him and he wanted to divorce her. He even set her up intentionally. How disgusting was that? Killian generously offered a million as a gift! Jack was nothing compared to Killian! Jack was scum!

They held hands as they walked out of the villa and got into the Lamborghini. They drove slowly out of the garden and out of the villa district.

Just at this moment, two men walked out from a villa just as the Lamborghini drove past. The two men were Mr. Ward and Brent.

"Huh?!" Mr. Ward frowned. Although it was just momentarily, he saw that the driver was Killian.

Brent also was puzzled, "Mr. Ward, did we see wrongly?"

"I am old and my eyesight is poor but how can a young man like you see wrongly?" Mr. Ward pondered deeply and murmured, "Killian indeed came to the city, but..."

Mr. Ward looked coldly and fiercely at the direction of the Lamborghini. Brent's expression changed vastly when he saw Mr. Ward's look. As far as he could remember, Mr. Ward always maintained a very pleasant and peaceful demeanor. He rarely displayed a ferocity as he had now.

"Killian is with Katherine?"

"And not he lived next to Master Hughes?"

"Is he playing with fire?" Mr. Ward's voice was like a chilling wind blown from the depths of a chasm causing Brent to shiver.

Brent asked with anxiety, "Mr. Ward, what do you think are Killian's intentions? Should we tell Master Hughes immediately?"

"Killian's shrewdness far exceeds George. What he is doing now is not only to get on the nerves of Master Hughes but he certainly has other sinister motives."

Mr. Ward pondered for a moment and said, "We should definitely inform Master Hughes. Additionally, from now on, you must follow Madam whenever she goes out. You must never let her be alone, not even with Daisy."

"Understood." Brent nodded.

There were many elites in the Hughes family. George was one of them. But his twin brother Killian was an elite among the elites! After spending so much time in the Hughes family, Brent knew how capable Killian was.

Mr. Ward was worried that Killian may do something to Sophie and hence he instructed him to protect Sophie. Daisy was certainly no match for Killian's fighting abilities.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Jack received Mr. Ward's message when he was having a meeting with the various department heads regarding the property launch. As soon as he saw the messages, Jack's face turned cold and he raged with fury. His sudden behavior change tensed up the entire conference room.

Corbin and the rest were stunned and no one knew what was going on but everyone could tell that Jack was furious. The tensed moment lasted for more than ten seconds.

"Sigh..." Jack heaved a long sigh, composed himself, and smiled, "Let's continue."

Corbin and the rest felt relieved but everyone was wondering what just happened. The meeting ended.

Jack didn't stay around and immediately left the office and went home. Along the way home, he clenched his fists tightly until the veins on the back of his hands throbbed. His eyes betrayed his fury. Was Killian trying to shame him?

Was Killian trying to provoke him?

Although he had ended his relationship with Katherine, Killian was using Katherine to get on his nerves.

Were they truly in love? Bullshit!

He didn't believe that Killian really liked Katherine. Although there were true stories of children of wealthy families falling in love with regular folks, but now it was between Killian and Katherine. How was it possible that something like that happened to Killian and Katherine?

The taxi finally reached the villa. Jack got out of the taxi and saw Mr. Ward and Brent waiting at the entrance.

"Master Hughes, they live at that villa." Brent pointed to a villa not far from them.

Jack scoffed, "Got it." After that, he walked straight into his villa.

Brent was stunned, "That's it?"

Mr. Ward smiled, "Then what do you expect? Do you want to tear down their place? Or do you expect to kill Killian and Katherine?" Brent scratched his head and chuckled. He didn't say a word thereafter. Back in the villa, Jack was relieved when he ascertained that his mother was fine.

He walked to the rooftop terrace, sat on the chair, and looked across to that villa. In fact, he had been mentally prepared that Killian would eventually turn up. He even was prepared for the worse.

But never had he expected Killian to move to a villa next to him and to get involved with his ex-wife! Just as Jack was fuming in anger, the atmosphere was very different at the Parry family.000
