Chapter 141 Banquet Night
Chapter 141 Banquet Night
After Jack received a call from Katherine.
He was not in the right state for work. He looked like absent-minded.
He did not even know how he left from the company.
He was already standing outside of Blue Rose Western Restaurant when he came back to sense.
What a familiar scene. Everything remained the same while only people have changed.
He smiled a little with some sense of bitterness.
When Jacked entered the restaurant, he could see Katherine sitting in the corner by the window from
far.
It was a breezy sunny day. Everything seemed just right.
Katherine was wearing a long white dress. She sat there quietly with her hair covering her shoulder.
She looked gentle and sweet.
“You’re here?”
When Katherine saw Jack, she smiled a little.
Jack nodded and sat down. He asked calmly. “Did anything happen?”
“I will move out from the home today.”
Katherine stretched herself and smiled. “I want to leave this city because there are too many sad things
that happened here.”
“It’s good to find a new place to start a new life.” Jack replied calmly.
“I’m sorry.”
Katherine suddenly said. “Leaving you makes me realize all the time you have been good to me. It’s
me who is not good enough for you. It’s me who loses you.”
Jack felt startled. It was unexpected to hear this from her.
Katherine had been spoiled since she was young. Her arrogance was deeply in her mind. It was hard
to imagine that these words would come out from her mouth.
Moreover, she was being sincere enough.
As Jack and Katherine looked at each other directly, time seemed to stop for a while.
After a long while.
Jack smiled bitterly, “Everything cannot go back to the old times anymore.”
He stood up after he replied and walked out.
Katherine was sitting on the chair as she looked at Jack leaving. Her tears gradually appeared in her
eyes.
She raised her hand and wiped her the corner of her eyes. She said, “Kate, don’t cry.”
During the short meeting of Jack and Katherine, there was a person who held a mobile phone in the
corner of the alley outside of the restaurant. The person took pictures of everything that happened.
...
After Jack arrived at work, he sorted out all his thoughts and continued focusing at work.
Katherine was just another passerby in his life.
Those who left me when I was in trouble shall leave.
He was being very humble. Unfortunately, what he got in return was the Parry family’s greediness.
The Parry family deserved whatever that happened to them in the end.
In the upcoming three days.
The set up of QY International Group and YK Group continued to grow and gained the momentum in
the city.
With such a momentum, the housing prices would be even higher.
On the other hand, DT real estate agency remained the restriction of purchasing with a daily
transaction of 50 units only. This situation made all the buyers go crazy.
Those who refunded the housing before, they felt completely regretted.
Everyone knew that DT real estate agency was delaying the time. They were waiting for the housing
prices to hit the highest price point then only they would proceed for large pre-sales.
Something did not seem right.
The public discussion which Corbin was worried about before did not appear.
It was not that such an event was not discussed within the city. But... it was unable to form a public
discussion in the media.
For the past three days, all the major media from the city only focused on reporting about the QY
International Group and YK Group’s new commercial centers’ opening.
As for the housing prices of DT real estate agency and West Shantytowns were not reported much!
This evening.
Jack got off from work early.
When he walked downstairs of the company, a Rolls Royce was waiting at the roadside.
He got in the car and asked, “Mr. Ward, are the presents ready?”
“As per Young master’s request, everything is prepared accordingly.” Mr. Ward smiled a little.
Brent made a joke while he was driving, “Young master, what a grand gift. Do you want to propose a
marriage?”
“Less nonsenses.”
Jack smiled and said, “Amber’s father helps me so much this time. It is not less than life saving, these
presents are nothing compared to his help.’
Tonight, it was the time for him to host a banquet to thank Steve Knight for saving his life.
This time, DT’s crisis would bring the company to the verge of bankruptcy.
Even if Jack’s father defeated Madam Hughes in the end, YK Group was still allowed to set up in the
city again.
Steve was able to help Jack when he was struggling at the death’s door. He should be grateful of his
help.
This kindness should be repaid in double.
Some more, it was like a life-saving grace!
However.
Mr. Ward smiled a little while deep gazing, “However, if the Young master would like to propose a
marriage. I do have a special gift that I prepared for you. This gift would make the Knight family very
happy.”
“What gift is it?” Jack was curious.
Mr. Ward did not express an opinion and smiled. He turned around at Brent, “Brent, why are you not
driving the car? Young master seems like wanting to propose a marriage to the Knight family?”
Jack felt embarrassed by Mr. Ward’s words.
Brent laughed while he was driving the car.
In the Four Impressions Club.
It was brightly lit in the Bamboo Grove.
Music echoed, the smell of the sandalwood was lingering.
The Knight family, Minister Mable and Artist Warnock took a seat in the restaurant.
Amber was looking at outside from time to time.
Rosie was sitting beside while holding her hand. She sat quietly while listening to the conversation
among the three persons.
“Mable, do you really, really want me to lower my head to apologize?” Warnock’s face was twisted. He
seemed unwilling to do so.
He was a master of traditional Chinese painting and known internationally along with his extraordinary
status.
Normally, even he was in front of powerful people. He was still a respected guest and should be
pleased by people around him. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
To ask him to lower his head to apologize at a twenty-years old junior was such a hard thing for him.
Even he knew that it was his fault.
After hearing this.
Steve frowned and looked at Minister Mable, “Mable, shouldn’t it be so serious? Perhaps Amber and I
can plead for mercy for Warnock.”
When Amber came back to sense she nodded and said, “Yes, Minister Mable. Jack is generous.”
With Artist Warnock’s current status, she knew that it was too reluctant to ask him to apologize in front
of Jack.
Minister Mable sat upright and smiled a little, “Fine, Warnock. I think for yourself, please be
considerate. Based on Jack’s background, ‘Voyage of Qiantang’ can indeed be sent out at will. There
are some things that you see may not be true, you should understand this.”
Artist Warnock was embarrassed. He lowered his head and thought of something.
Steve was confused and asked, “Mable, what happens to you and Lansing? Everyone seems strange
as if hiding something. Are there something that cannot be discussed together?”
Minister Mable glanced at Steve. He laughed.
Discuss together?
If it was to be discussed, I dared to say it. Would you all believe it?
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would not believe Jack’s identity and his family
background.
In fact, with Minster Mable’s connection, it was too easy if he wanted to check it out.
But the information showed that Jack had been an orphan since he was born. He lived a tough life with
his mother. They were very poor. Jack fought steps by steps by himself until who he was today.
An unfortunate marriage almost killed Jack’s mother.
Then a sudden change to Jack, and he experienced and suffered too much, even Minister Mable was
startled.
Without waiting for Steve’s question, Artist Warnock sighed, “I, I will give it a try.”
At this moment.
There was a sound coming from outside of the door.
“Boss, Jack is here.”
After hearing this.
Minister Mable suddenly stood up as if he was shocked by a lightning.
This scene surprised everyone who were there.
This reaction... was it a little too over?
