The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 30 Tommy’s Suspicions

Stunned, Katherine looked at Elissa blankly.

“Mum, I really had already spoken to Shirley about the engagement party!” Katherine felt extremely

wronged.

The engagement party really had disgraced the Parry family. She had been explaining herself

countless times these last few days after facing the blame from Elissa.

“You are still lying to me!”

Elissa breathed heavily and said angrily, “Shirley comes from a good family. Are you really saying that

she deliberately pretended to cause havoc at the engagement party?”

“Katherine, what do you mean?” Tommy was also nervous and stood up quickly. “I know what kind of

person Shirley is. So I know she would never do that kind of thing.”

Katherine trembled with tears as she felt she was being seriously wronged.

She was sobbing as she said, “Why don’t you believe me? Mom, just who exactly is your real

daughter?”

Elissa’s face went red as she raised her hand to cover her chest, “When I face a matter, I focus on the

facts and don’t bias towards certain people. You are my daughter, and Shirley is my daughter in law.

She is about to marry my son. Do you still want to try contradicting me?”

“I…” Katherine was about to speak.

Kieran stamped his foot down as she said, “That’s enough Katherine, or do you want to piss your mom

off to another heart attack?”

Hearing this, Katherine gave up arguing.

“Mum, get some rest. I’m going to work now,” Katherine put down the thermos flask, turned around and

ran out while covering her eyes.

“Work? You earn that little. It’s far not enough. I am your mother. I am staying at the hospital now. You

don’t even seem to care a little bit?”

Elissa shouted loudly when seeing Katherine leave.

After she heard this, Katherine collapsed completely. She passed the corridor and ran into the stairwell.

She then couldn't help bursting into tears.

“Why am I the one to blame? What did I do wrong? Why must I bear all these myself?”

By doing so, she released all the emotions she endured these days.

After Elissa was hospitalized, Katherine had been under the stress of being framed. She had been tied

up with preparing food for her parents and Tommy while working.

But in return she just got relentless questioning and misunderstanding from Elissa.

She wanted to go and asked Shirley why she refused Tommy at the engagement party.

But she refrained from doing this.

She knew that it was impossible for Shirley to tell the truth, and her whole family was now siding with

Shirley. It would then be difficult for her to fight against them.

In a daze, Katherine looked ahead blankly and muttered, “Jack…”

After 3 years of marriage, she had suffered such kind of grievances.

But Jack was always by her side comforting her and getting her problems solved every time.

While she muttered to herself, Katherine took out her phone and sent a message to Jack.

“Jack, I’m exhausted.”

She waited a long time with no reply.

She buried her head in tears with despair.

In the ward Kieran looked at Elissa helplessly and said, “It’s been two days. But you just can’t stop

getting angry with Katherine. Don’t you care about yourself?”

“Are you blaming me here?”

Elissa raised her eyebrows and stared at Kieran, “She said she had dealt with Shirley. But how came

she did that at the engagement party? I was utterly humiliated in front of 30 tables of friends and

relatives. I’ve lost my face!”

Kieran was about to murmur when Elissa continued roaring, “Our entire family has been completely

disgraced! If Shirley breaks up with Tommy because of grudge, how can we rely her on delivering a

baby for our family? Don’t ever let this happen!”

After he heard this, Kieran immediately felt dispirited.

He knew that Shirley was well-educated and had a good job with a decent background. But his son

Tommy was nothing but a loser. She was way out of his league and could find a much better guy.

If Shirley really broke up with Tommy, and Tommy still tried to find another girl like her, then nobody

would ever take a look at him.

Elissa suddenly thought of something and said to Tommy, “Tommy, You know Shirley felt so grudged at

the engagement party. Have you already explained to her?”

“Mom, Shirley has been completely ignoring me over the past two days. I went to drive her to work this

morning, but she didn’t even get in my car or say a word to me,” Tommy flushed with anxiety.

“Gosh…”

Elissa looked at the ceiling and then sighed, “If it wasn’t for that silly girl Katherine, then we would have

collected enough money. These damn things wouldn’t have happened now!”

Tommy turned all his thought to Shirley after hearing this.

It occurred to him Shirley had yelled at him on the phone that Jack had money and he should go find

Jack whenever needed.

However, when he forced Katherine to do this for him by exclaiming self-suicide, Katherine never went

to go find Jack? How came she instead went to find Shirley? novelbin

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He then stomped his foot on the ground and

said, “Mom, dad, is Sophie being hospitalized here in LJ Hospital?”

Kieran and Elissa were stunned.

Kieran then nodded his head, “Yep, I think I heard Katherine mention it before that Sophie is still

staying in there.”

He wasn’t quite sure because ever since Sophie was hospitalized, they had only visited her once. So

he didn’t have much impression on her.

“I will go and try to find her.”

Tommy then turned around and ran out of the ward.

He needed to confirm whether Jack really have money or not.

He believed what Shirley said.

If Jack was really rich, then Elissa would certainly be getting better.

Then… the purpose that Jack divorced Katherine…

Thinking about this, he gritted his teeth fiercely with angry eyes.

Inside the ward, Daisy was helping Sophie take a bath carefully and meticulously for fear of hurting

Sophie.

Sophie said with a tender smile, “Daisy, you’ve got calluses on your hands…”

“I’m sorry that I have hurt you,” Daisy was frightened as she apologized.

"No, no, Daisy you have misunderstood," Sophie hurriedly explained, "I’m just surprised that since you

are still a young girl, why have you got so many calluses on your hands? You must have suffered a lot.”

Daisy was startled with a smile as she lowered her head and said, "No worry, Ms. Burton. I’m fine with

this."

Seeing Daisy’s face, Sophie sighed slightly with a smile, "Silly girl."

Bang! The door was kicked open.

Sophie and Daisy were both startled and then looked over at the door.

Tommy broke into the ward and saw Sophie sitting on the bed. He then said sharply, "Didn't Jack say

that you are dying?”

Sophie was dumbfounded.

She had a vague impression on Tommy. But as for her current condition, this was undoubtedly a curse!

Daisy scolded him coldly, “Please leave here now!”

“How dare you to say this?” Tommy raged, “I am Jack’s brother in law. You think you have the right to

ask me to leave here?”

Sophie got obviously better than before, which proved that she must have been treated well.

‘Jack deliberately divorced Katherine just to pay for the treatment of his dying mother!’

‘If they didn’t divorce, then Katherine would have got back the money from Jack. Shirley and him would

have engaged smoothly. These things wouldn’t have happened now!’

Sophie trembled with tears slowly falling from her eyes.

As she saw Sophie cry, Daisy immediately panicked.

When Jack hired her, he specifically told her that his mother was not able to handle this kind of

stimulation.

“You get the hell out of here. I will not allow you to hurt Sophie!”

Daisy got up quickly and shouted at Tommy.

Tommy was punching Daisy with a hideous face as he yelled, “Go away, bitch. What the fuck you think

you are?”
