Winner Takes All

When Jack Hughes left the company.

Corbin Koch clapped his hands, "Did you all hear that? Master Hughes can handle it. Remember the last time when he said that the renovation project at the West Shantytowns would be profitable? He was right! We must have faith in him. Let's buckle up and work harder!"

Upon hearing that, the employees who were in a panic earlier breathed a sigh of relief.

After the incident where Jack acquired DT real estate agency, and the value of the property in West Shantytowns skyrocketed.

All the employees were confident about Jack's decision making.

At the residential area of TM Villa.

A taxi came speeding by and stopped in front of the main gate of a villa.

Jack got off the car and looked at the villa in front of him. He then gazed at another villa which was not far away.

He remembered he bought that villa which was not far away.

He smiled confidently, "George, as good as you may be, you can't outsmart me. There are always people who you can't mess with!"

From what Brent told him about last night, and the incident that happened earlier that day.

Jack could quickly identify George was behind all these.

Jack didn't know much about the Hughes family background.

However, he knew the Hughes family's wealth was way ahead of those wealthy local landlords after he saw the Bauhinia bank card that he had.

As long as George was willing to spend some money, it was easy to get the material suppliers to boycott DT.

Despite that, he didn't think that George could bribe the owner of that villa.

Jack adjusted his suit as he stepped into the villa.

As an appointment was already made earlier, the villa housekeeper did not ask much. He led Jack into the living room in a respectful manner.

The melodious classical music echoed.

It made the quaint villa more speculating, which gave prominence to the owner's cultural heritage.

"Master, Mr Hughes has arrived."

The housekeeper said respectfully to the man who was sitting on the sofa.

The man hurriedly got up and walked towards Jack.

Under the golden glasses, his eyes were glittering.

It was Aiden Lott.

"Mr. Lott."Jack said.

Aiden was humble. He smiled wholeheartedly and held Jack's hand, "Jack, come here and sit down. Make yourself at home here. I knew you would shine one day, and now you've achieved great things." It was clear that Aiden did not take things to his heart after the incident regarding Ben Hall.

With a smile on his face, Jack followed Aiden into the living room and sat on the sofa.

Aiden was the first person he wanted to meet after he was boycotted.

Aiden was a local hero, with excellent connections and ability.

Moreover, Aiden ran a real estate company.

Even Jack had no idea how influential he was. He could only make a bold guess about it based on his experience.

George thought that he could outmatch the local landlord after he bribed all the material suppliers.

However, he wouldn't be able to bribe Aiden, who was the leader among the wealthy local landlords.

Although Mr. Ward was gone, Aiden still remembered the last time what Mr. Ward has done.

Jack knew exactly how to strike back on George.

Besides, Jack didn't oppose Aiden during the dinner when Ben apologized.

"This is a top-grade Pu'er tea that my friend bought for me. It costs half a million yuan. It is certainly refreshing." Aiden smiled as he served the tea for Jack. "Thank you, Mr Lott."

Jack thanked Aiden. He then said, "Mr Lott, just as I told you on the phone. Please help me this time, or else DT will be in big trouble."

Jack didn't talk much and went straight into the point.

However, Jack didn't humble himself too much when he said that.

It was because he was clear that if he lowered himself too much, it wouldn't be beneficial either.

Aiden Lott... was a businessman after all.

As expected.

Aiden took a sip of tea and asked, "Where is Mr Ward?"

Jack laughed, "Mr Ward is my benefactor. If I always look for him whenever I am in trouble, it would be pointless for him to mentor me after all." "Hahaha... you're right."

Aiden laughed and said, "Like how I mentored you back then. If I didn't give you the chance to perform, you wouldn't be a vice president after three years."

Putting down his teacup, Aiden said, "In fact, I have contacted three overseas material supplier when you are on your way here. With the power they have, it wouldn't be a problem for them to supply sufficient material for the renovation project at the West Shantytowns. However, it might be a bit pricy."

"I understand. Money is not a problem."

Jack nodded and thanked Aiden, "I appreciate your help this time around. I will always remember this."

"What are you saying? I'm the one who brought you up. I will lend you a helping hand when you are in trouble. Doing business is like battling on a battlefield. There are always times that you are scammed. We need to help each other out."

Aiden said indifferently as he continued tasting the tea.

Jack then finished the tea in his cup. He got up and said, "Since Mr Lott is willing to help, I'll go back to DT first. There are still a lot of things for me to do. I can't slack off."

"Alright, I'll email you the quotation contract from the material suppliers. You can decide yourself."

Leaving the villa.

The sunlight was all over his body. Jack could feel the warmth from it.

However, the back of his shirt was drained.

Gazing back at the villa, Jack smiled wholeheartedly.

He might have exposed the matter regarding the departure of Mr Ward if he continued chatting with Aiden.

Last time, Mr Ward appeared to solve the issue after Ben Hall played some tricks on him. However, Mr Ward refused to meet Aiden this time around even though serious things had happened. Apparently, the implications were profound.

Aiden was a businessman, and people in a business valued profits. If he knew Mr Ward had left the city, it was up to him to figure out whether he wanted to help.

Mr Ward's presence or absence determined Aiden's attitude towards Jack.

Just when Jack left the villa.

Aiden put down his cup of tea. He adjusted his glasses and murmured, "Jack, I've been gambling my whole life. I hope I've made a wise bet this time. I hope you will remember this favour when Mr Ward is back."

At the DT building.

The Porsche 911 came speeding by and braked sharply that was parked in the right place.

Amber Knight got off the car hurriedly. Her attractive figure attracted astonished gazes all around her.

However, she didn't care about it as she quickly ran into the building.

Amber was panting when she was in the lift. Her face blushed a little.

It was because she was rushing just now.

After such a major incident, Josh Ellis boycotted DT behind her back. She had to make it clear to Jack in person as soon as possible. Most importantly, she needed to explain it clearly to Jack's superior before they worked together to find a solution.

That was why she rushed to DT personally.

Ding!

The lift arrived.

Amber ran out of the lift and asked the receptionist, "Hello, I am Amber, the President of EnRich Company. I want to meet your CEO, Ben Hall."

She wanted to help Jack badly, but she didn't know much about DT. She found out the president of DT was someone called, Ben Hall, after reading the information from a file.

"Mr Hall?" The receptionist was startled.

Amber was anxious, "Yes, Ben Hall. Is he not here? Then I'd like to meet your Vice President, Jack Hughes."

"Mr Hughes?"

The receptionist looked at her oddly, "Mr Hughes is now the president of DT."NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Boom!

Amber trembled as she was traumatized.
