Winner Takes All

Asking Jack directly how much he had was encroaching into Jack's personal affairs. According to Amber's upbringing, she wouldn't do something so inappropriate. But today Jack had continually surprised her and her mind was repeatedly bombarded to an extent that she couldn't endure it any longer.

Whether it was acquiring DT or developing the West Shantytowns, or buying this villa in front of her. Each of the three items was in multiples of a hundred million yuan. Even if Jack had the help of a nobleman, which nobleman would support Jack with so much money?

This didn't look like helping. It was more like a father throwing money at his son! It was obvious that Amber felt that this was totally illogical.

Jack stopped and looked at the surprised Amber and smiled tenderly, "Not much left. I used it several times and now the card is almost empty."

As he said, he took out the Bauhinia bank card and made some mental calculations and then said, "Approximately five hundred million."

"Bauhinia bank card?!" Amber's eyes almost popped out of her sockets when she saw the Bauhinia bank card. She covered her mouth with her hand and almost screamed.

She no longer bothered with the way Jack remarked about having five hundred million remaining in his account because the Bauhinia bank card gave her a bigger shock than all of today's surprises combined! The card had a minimum deposit of a billion yuan and numerous complex qualifying terms making the Bauhinia bank card a symbol of wealth and success. She understood the requirements of the card because her father had one. But Jack... how did he get one?

"You are familiar with this card?" Jack was also surprised. Even Shirley who was a bank teller wasn't familiar with it.

Amber nodded and strongly suppressed her tone and said, "This was given to you by that nobleman?" Other than the nobleman mentioned by Jack, she really didn't know how to link the Bauhinia bank card with Jack.

"Yes, in the beginning, there was a billion yuan in this card. Recently I used a portion to acquire DT and on the West Shantytowns development." Jack nodded and kept the card. He thought about it and realized that it shouldn't be surprising that Amber knew about such a card.

Amber was from a wealthy family. Although the Bauhinia bank card was rare, Amber should also know about it since bank managers were familiar with this card.

"A billion..." Amber was flabbergasted and didn't know what to say. Why did someone give a Bauhinia bank card with a billion yuan to Jack? This nobleman was far too generous!

Even with Amber's background, this was too much for her and she blurted out, "Hey, silly, you should ask your nobleman if you are his long-lost son! This was far too generous!" She meant it as a joke but she actually hit the nail on its head!

This caused Jack's heart to sink and his expression dimmed and triggered a sense of depression. But he knew that Amber was joking and that was why he quickly suppressed his displeasure. It happened so fast that Amber didn't notice his mood swing.

"Come, let's have a look inside the house." Jack led Amber into the house.

He had instructed Brent to hire an interior decorator for the villa. He was certain that the interior of the villa would be within his budget and done to his satisfaction. This villa was he and his mother's new house and a place where they can finally plant their feet firmly down after drifting for so many years in the city.

Jack was unable to imagine the hardships that his mother had to go through just to bring him up. It was time for him to repay her now that he could do so. Jack was willing to spend as much as it was necessary to give his mother a suitable place to recuperate.

Jack didn't want the interior of the villa to be grand nor luxurious but to be warm and more comfortable. In Jack's heart, this was his home and should feel warm and homely rather than to be ostentatious to show off one's wealth.

As soon as Jack walked into the villa and saw the internal decoration, he started to smile in satisfaction. The warm combination of colors, the comfortable and practical furniture, everything was well thought out and flawless. It made a person relax as soon as he entered the villa.

"Jack, this décor is fantastic!" Amber exclaimed, "It feels like home."

Jack smiled, "Then... welcome home, Mrs. Hughes."

Amber blushed and said coyly, "Stop it, rascal, quick show me around."

This was the first time Jack had come to the villa and he was also very curious. Thus, he started to explore the villa along with Amber.

What surprised Jack was he didn't see Brent at the villa. Brent knew that Jack would be there today. Furthermore, the furniture and some of the interior fittings were completed today. So Brent should be at the villa.

The villa had four floors. Bedrooms, entertainment rooms, and other amenities. There was even a spacious terrace on the rooftop.

The interior designer had arranged for the area surrounding the terrace to be planted with all sorts of flowers to contrast against each other and fill the area with the fragrance of flowers. There were a swing and some deck chairs in the middle of the terrace.

Amber sat on the swing and gently swayed and looked deeply at Jack, "Jack, your transformation is startling."

Jack was exhausted from the day's activities and laid on the deck chair and looked at the beautiful sunset and smiled, "Yeah, it was as if I emerged from hell and soared to heaven."

The simple conversation went silent and both Jack and Amber quietened down together as if to take in the peace and tranquility of the moment.

The sky turned red with some rosy clouds as the sun was setting. It was picturesque. At one point, the sunset cast a fiery cage over the villa. It was like the villa had been dressed with a splendor golden robe. "Wow... it's beautiful." Amber looked at the afterglow of the sunset and her eyes glittered and praised.

Jack smiled and looked at the beautiful scenery. It can only be seen by those few villas at TM villa district's Hillside Ridge. This was also why these few villas had the astronomical price of over a hundred million yuan each.

"Jack, come and have a look, the sunset is beautiful."

Amber looked at the laid back Jack and like a little girl, she walked over to Jack gleefully and wanted to pull Jack up. Unexpectedly, Jack suddenly yanked her and Amber screamed and fell into his embrace. At that moment, their eyes met. The scenery of the sunset was captivating. Everything was just perfect.

Jack grinned and said, "Didn't you say that I should rest?"

Amber trembled and the fire that raged within her was rekindled and made her feel hot all over her body. But she didn't look away from Jack's eyes.

Their gaze locked and they gradually moved closer...
