Three days later, Austin ignored the doctor's protests as he stubbornly completed the discharge procedures.Now, the west city slum redevelopment project had reached its most crucial point. It would be open for pre-sale soon, and Austin still had many things to do.Moreover, if he kept staying in the hospital, he wouldn't be able to visit his mother at Legacy Hospital. When that happened, he wouldn't be able to hide the fact that he got injured.Even though the bandages on his body weren't removed yet, he should be fine if he was careful enough.Cecily and Aldus helped the recently discharged Austin to his rented house.Once there, Cecily was shocked."Austin, have you always been living in a house like this?"The way she saw it, Austin was the president of Dominion Properties, and his annual income would surely exceed one million dollars.Why would he live in a house with just two rooms and a living room, and a rented one at that?Not just her, but any outsider would also fin

"We were so anxious for the past three days, Austin. Everyone was worried that something might have happened to you," Matt said worriedly.Austin smiled, feeling warmth spreading in his heart.He had mentored Matt, and he knew how grateful Matt was toward him.In reality, the people who managed to become managers in various areas in this redevelopment project were people to whom he believed he could entrust great responsibilities."I had to settle some personal matters, but everything is fine now. Why don't you report to me the progress of the project so far?"Austin changed the subject. He didn't want his employees to worry about his health.He was stabbed and had lost a lot of blood. After an emergency rescue, he was discharged after only three days. If he told Matt and the others about that, they might panic even more.Matt didn't ask further. Instead, he began his report. "Each area is progressing steadily. We're also working on the pre-sale permit."It's estimated that we

That evening, the local TV station announced a piece of news."Dominion Properties will be opening pre-sales for its buildings in the west city on the 15th of this month."Like a powerful explosive, the piece of news turned the whole city upside down.Everyone in the city was shaken, and their hearts were stirring.Back then, when Wirtucon announced the news of its settling-in, the housing prices in the west city slums had risen.Many people regretted the fact that they didn't buy houses in the west city as soon as possible.And this time, the new and redeveloped property listings were now on the market. The regretful people were tempted to get the property listings.If they got their hands on the property listings in the west city, after Wirtucon officially settled in, the housing prices in the west city would rise again.After all, in all these years, wherever Wirtucon went, the housing prices in the area would rise as well!A housing market boom silently began to materializ

While Cecily was mumbling, she couldn't help but imagine the stupefied look on Austin's face. Her smile grew wider.…The air at the Welch residence seemed to have frozen solid.The atmosphere was so heavy that it felt suffocating.Nancy and her family sat on the couch, every one of the four having different expressions on their faces as they watched the news on TV.Derek's and Urma's faces turned pale. Urma clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth as if she were threatening to gobble someone up.Harvey had a furious expression on his face as he stared at the TV.Meanwhile, Nancy lowered her head as she sat on the couch. Her pretty eyes were wet with tears, and she was about to cry anytime soon."Nancy, why didn't you try harder to persuade us back then?"Harvey's sobbing tone broke the silence reigning in the living room. He begged Urma, saying, "Mom … Do you guys still want me to marry Susie?"That single sentence caused Urma to explode.She stood up in anger. "Nancy

"Mom …"Nancy was breaking down. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at Urma in despair.But Urma reprimanded her, saying in disgust, "Can't you do anything other than cry? Get lost!""Nancy, don't provoke your mom anymore. She has just gotten discharged." Derek couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he spoke to Nancy in a low voice.After Nancy left, Derek finally sighed. He complained to Urma, "And you, why do you keep blaming Nancy for everything?""Are you blaming me now? Why don't you think of a way to get more money?"Urma's words caused Derek to grow red in the face.Derek calmed his tone a little. "But what if Austin doesn't have money?""Dad, how can Austin not have money? If he doesn't have money, how was he able to save his damned mom?" Harvey shouted at the top of his lungs."Shut up! Isn't our family in a big enough mess already?"Derek glared at Harvey, startling the latter so much that he stopped shouting.Then, Derek said to Urma, "After Nancy got marrie

After the message was sent, a reply came soon enough.The notification ringtone from WhatsApp perked Nancy up a little.But when she read Austin's reply, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She was already drenched, but now, she felt a bone-piercing chill coursing throughout her body.Austin's reply was simple."I can't help you with that!"A few seconds later, a crazed look slowly appeared in Nancy's eyes.She gritted her teeth, squeezing out her words as she said, "You were the ones who forced me to do this. All of you are forcing me into a corner! Austin, neither you nor I will live in peace."You were the one who mistreated me first, so don't blame me if I do the same to you! You're doing quite well in Dominion, aren't you?"If I trash your company's pre-sales launch even on the 15th, let's see if you can keep being the vice president at your company!"…In the rented house, Austin smiled in disdain after sending the message.He was a decisive man. Since he h

In the next few days, Austin focused all his efforts on the preparation for the west city building pre-sales.After accumulating strength for one month, Austin wouldn't allow any mistakes to happen in this operation.As time passed, more promotional posters of the west city building pre-sales appeared in various streets and alleys in the main city.Also, when people chatted with each other, the west city buildings became their main topic.It was as if the whole city had its attention on the west city buildings.Everyone who could purchase property was rubbing their hands eagerly.After all, they all knew that if they bought properties in the west city before Wirtucon settled in, the housing prices would increase after Wirtucon entered the scene.It would be the same as finding money on the streets.Of course, anyone would be enthusiastic about that.Some people who had connections were already trying to pull the strings in secret, planning to proceed with internal purchases.

If that happened, the Welches would have enough money for Harvey's wedding, and they could still have lots of money to spare.But now, all this was no more than wishful thinking.The housing prices in the west city had increased so much that they could only look on in envy.Nancy was forced to stay in a hotel outside. She didn't dare to go home.Because she knew that if she went home, her parents and brother would blame and complain about her.So, if she hid in the hotel, she could get some peace of mind at least.But as the whole city got into a lively discussion, Nancy's emotions gradually shifted into extreme hatred and regret.She thought that Austin was the vice president of Dominion, and the west city was developed by Dominion.After the 15th, no matter how Austin would be treated in Dominion in the future, he would have a huge bonus for sure.If Nancy could go back in time, she would not divorce Austin so decisively.But to her, these were just some thoughts she entert
