The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 29 Two Wards Two Scenes

The sales center was quiet. Even the ticking of watches could be heard.

Everyone was blank.

A hundred and twenty million! Without even the slightest hesitation, like… buying vegetables?

“Okay then, I will help you handle it,” Ben was overjoyed.

This was his first sale—a top-notch villa.

TM Villa District had been very popular since the beginning of its sale.

Although the premium villa half way up the mountain displayed its status and identity, its price made

countless rich people sigh in wonder.

Sara felt like dying at this moment.

She felt exhausted with a deathly pale face and dull eyes.

Just because of her ignorance, Ben ended up making a deal of a hundred and twenty million

effortlessly.

At this moment she had no resentment about Ben slapping her in the face.

She even wanted to slap herself hard a few more times.

With a huge deal like this, the commission would be a staggering amount to her.

So much that she could complete this month’s performance goal.

The salary of the sales representatives of TM Villa sales center was indeed very high, which attracted

numerous people to covet this job. They all wanted to sell a TM Villa.

However, those who had the worst sales performance would be fired.

Sara was just at the bottom this month; otherwise she would not have gone to Ben just now.

There were only a few days left in this month. If she wasn’t able to achieve the performance goal, she

was going to be dismissed at the end of the month and go home!

Sara squatted on the ground, covered her face with her hands and began to cry in deep regret.

The sales manager and her colleagues looked at her with sympathetic eyes, but no one came forward

to comfort her.

The procedures for buying a villa were very complicated. But due to Ben’s careful preparation, things

went smoothly.

After signing a lot of lengthy contracts, Jack finally took the key; from now on he was the owner of the

villa.

Leaving the sales center, Jack saw Sara standing outside with the sales manager telling her

something. He vaguely heard the sales manager say the word “Fired”.

Jack sneered. Sara reaped what she sewed. He went back to the company leisurely.

Corbin walked into the office excitedly as he reported to Jack, “Jack, you are really great. Thanks to

you, I addressed the problem of the area I am in charge of this morning. It didn’t even take one day.”

“It’s fine as long as it is done. Back to work. Your area is the top priority. You can’t afford to let anything

go wrong,” Jack said with a smile.

“Don’t worry about it, Jack.” Corbin patted his chest as he convinced Jack.

……

In the hospital, Sophie woke up but she still felt very weak.

Even though she had just been better due to Jack’s care, after returning to the ICU ward, she became

as worse as before.

Sophie was lying in bed with a pale face. She held a piece of apple that Daisy had just cut for her,

eating it slowly little by little.

Seeing Daisy’s tired face with deep dark circles under her eyes, Sophie felt quite distressed, “Daisy, I

am sorry for making it so difficult for you. You must have been exhausted.”

Daisy was startled, “No, Ms. Burton! I am not exhausted at all. It’s not difficult for me at all. Did I make a

mistake? Please don’t fire me.”

She took a monthly pay of ten thousand from Jack to look after Sophie. It was a tough job, but it was

way better than working with heavy metal and bricks at the construction site.

However, Sophie’s words made her feel like she was going to be fired.

She didn’t know Sophie was not new to difficult times. She had worked hard to raise Jack herself and

knew how exhausting the difficult days could be.

Sophie said this because she could see the exhaustion in Daisy's eyes and could really feel how hard it

must have been for her.

However, Daisy's reply made her suddenly smile, “Daisy, you misunderstood. I just think you are

working really hard. I don’t mean to fire you. I am used to hardships and difficulties. You are around the

same age as my son. It breaks my heart to see you so exhausted.”

She was afraid that Daisy would think too much, so she explained again, “You did everything well. I like

you so much. How could I fire you? The only thing you can’t do well is to give yourself a break.”

Daisy's eyes were red. She leaned head down on the side of the bed aggrievedly and sobbed

uncontrollably, “Ms. Burton! You scared me to death. I thought you didn’t need me anymore. This job is

very important to me.”

Sophie smiled kindly, looking at Daisy with her deep eyes. She gently patted Daisy on her shoulder and

said softly, “Daisy, my child, how can I lose you. Why don’t you call my son? I will ask him to come here

to stay with me for a night. Then you can go home and get yourself a sound sleep.”

Daisy shuddered a bit. She raised her head and wiped her tears, “Ms. Burton, he is really busy. He

hired me to take care of you. How can I call him to come here while I go home and sleep?”

“Okay, but you listen to me. You must have a good sleep tonight. Don’t come running over as soon as I

move a little.”

Seeing Daisy trying to refute, she solemnly continued, “Oh! you beautiful child, look at you. You already

have dark circles. Who will marry a girl with dark circles? You have to take care of yourself.”

Daisy was stunned. Her eyes turned red with tears.

Sophie's words felt like warm spring breeze in her withered and frozen heart.

It had been really long since she had heard such words of care and concern.

In the next second, Daisy was crying as she hugged Sophie, “Thank you, Ms. Burton. Thank you.”

In another ward, Elissa was lying in bed with a pale face. She was looking at the ceiling desperately

with tears falling down.

At the engagement party, she was so angry that she had a heart attack. Fortunately, she was rescued

successfully in time.

Kieran sat calmly beside the bed, peeling an apple. He handed her a piece, “Do you want some?”

Elissa shook her head and continued crying.

She cared so much about her face, so she had arranged such a magnificent engagement party for

Tommy and Shirley.

However, that scene at the engagement party made her lose her face like being shattered into a million

pieces in front of her friends and relatives.

It made her feel like to die was even better than to live.

“Okay,” Kieran knew her well, so he sighed and stopped trying to persuade her to eat.

However, Tommy sat aside playing Arena of Valor on his phone all the time. He completely ignored

Elissa and Kieran, and even yelled out loud at the game from time to time.

“Come on, come on now!” Tommy suddenly yelled loudly at the phone.

Kieran frowned and scolded him, “Tommy, keep your voice down in the hospital! You said you came

here to take care of your mother. Is this how you do it?”

“I know, I know!” Tommy said impatiently with his eyes gazing at the phone screen, “If I didn’t come

here to take care of her, was it possible for me to go home and play games?”

Kieran took a deep breath, trying to swallow his anger.

At noon, Katherine opened the door with a thermos in hand.

Seeing Tommy playing games on his phone, her face sank, “Tommy, you are playing games instead of

taking care of Mom. How old are you?”

Tommy lowered his head, about to respond.

However, before he could answer, Elissa stopped crying and suddenly exploded.

She pointed at Katherine and scolded, “Do you still have the right to talk to your brother like that? You

ruined his engagement party and humiliated our family in front of the world. Do you have the right to

ask him how old he is like that?”
