Moreover, Cecily didn't mind Austin's past. The incident with Nancy was already quite unfair to Cecily."You're bringing that up?"Cecily gave Austin a disapproving look. "Why didn't you tell me that you became the boss of Dominion? Did you know? When you got into trouble, I was still overseas, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep."I rushed back here to help you, but look at you! You became the boss of Dominion without a sound!""Thank you." Austin placed his hand on the back of Cecily's hand. "Thank you for coming to me in my darkest moments."A look of panic appeared on Cecily's pretty face.Sensing the warmth on the back of her hand, she subconsciously tried to take her hand away, but she realized that Austin was quite strong. She couldn't escape his grasp at all."Come on, what are you doing? We're at a restaurant. People are watching.""I'm holding my girlfriend's hand. What's wrong with that?"Austin raised an eyebrow. "You came to me of your accord. I can't let y

In the end, Cecily chose not to say it.Austin had given her too many surprises today, which were all huge surprises. So, she doubted whether the surprise she prepared was considered a surprise to Austin at all.Since she wasn't sure about it, she decided to leave it for another time. She didn't want the atmosphere to turn awkward.They had a long path ahead of them, so she would eventually find a time to reveal it.That was what Cecily thought, but she had no idea that Austin had prepared more surprises for her.After the meal, Austin and Cecily left Skyhigh Dining.It was only after Cecily got into the Porsche 911 that she realized something. "There are more surprises?"For her, today had been perfect except for that incident with Nancy.She wouldn't ask anything more of Austin, either, because she knew that Austin had been working very hard on the pre-sales of Hydra Gardens. He must be extremely tired by now.She didn't expect Austin to have more surprises for her."Yes."

But where did Austin get that much money?He bought Dominion, redeveloped the west city slums, and even bought a villa!But Cecily soon suppressed the doubts in her mind.Austin said before that he had received help from someone else.But Austin didn't want to tell her, and she couldn't ask too much about these things. If she asked too many questions, she would eventually ask about that benefactor.After a pause, Cecily said with doubt, "Silly, you're so rich now, so why didn't you get a car for yourself?"Austin's expression froze.He had only experienced a change in his identity within the past month or so. He didn't intend on getting a car at all in the past.When he began to entertain the idea, he was forced to get busy.The only time he felt like buying a car was when he picked Cecily up from the airport. Cecily even got ahead of him.Austin smiled teasingly as he blinked. "Because you bought a car already. Can't I depend on you this once?""Come on, you must be kidding

If Cecily directly asked Austin how much money he had, she would be inquiring about Austin's privacy.With Cecily's upbringing, she couldn't do something that rude.Austin had given her so many surprises today. It felt like continuous hammering on her head, so she couldn't endure it anymore.Be it purchasing Dominion, redeveloping the west city slums, or buying the villa in front of her, every one of those tasks required money in the hundreds of millions.Even if Austin received help, his benefactor couldn't possibly have showered money on him, right?If so, then the benefactor wouldn't be just helping Austin, they would be like a father giving his son all the money his son wanted!Of course, Cecily felt that this didn't make sense at all.Austin stopped. Looking at the shocked Cecily, he smiled gently. "It's not much. After the continuous transactions, there's not much money left in the card."With that, he took out the orchid card from his pocket. After making earnest calcula

Austin was willing to spend any amount of money if it meant that his mother could get a wonderful environment for her to recuperate.Because of Austin's request, the soft furnishing design in the villa wasn't too extravagant or grand. It leaned more to the cozy and comfortable side.To Austin, this place was home. So, a home should have cozy and comfortable vibes instead of the luxury and extravagance that were used to show off.After Austin entered the villa and saw the renovation style, he put on a satisfied smile.Warm tones complemented each other, and the furniture looked comfortable and convenient. Everything was put together perfectly, and there was nothing to complain about as always.So, as soon as anyone walked in, they would feel relaxed in both body and mind."Austin, this renovation style is amazing." Cecily praised, "It feels like home."Austin smiled. "Well, then… Welcome home, lady of the house."Cecily's pretty face turned red as she said, "Come on, stop joking

As the sun set, Austin and Cecily slowly got closer to each other. The rays of the setting sun covered them.The scene looked just like a painting.Just then, an extremely out-of-place voice rang out."Should I… leave for now?"The wonderful moment was instantly ruined by that voice.Cecily trembled as if she were a startled little deer. She was so shocked that she leaped to her feet. Then, with a reddened face, she lowered her head and hurried back to the swing.After she sat down, her breaths were still hasty, and she didn't dare look in the direction of the voice.This was… so awkward.Austin frowned. A little upset, he turned around to look at Aldus, who was standing at the staircase.Austin had explored the villa for so long just now, but he never found Aldus anywhere.Why did Aldus appear right now?"What do you think?" Austin returned the question.Aldus scratched his head awkwardly. Then, he said meekly, "You guys continue, then. I'll step away for a bit."With tha

Austin's expression shifted as he put on a stubborn smile. "I train because I want to get better. I don't do it just to compete with Taylor. He's not worth all that hard work I'm putting in."His words were firm, and he exuded a proud and disdainful air.When Aldus saw that, his eyes widened. After a second of hesitation, he nodded. "Alright."…Meanwhile, Nancy headed toward her home dejectedly.Her eyes were already swollen from crying, and she had also run out of tears.At that moment, she had completely broken down.She never thought that the ruckus she had planned to ruin Austin's reputation had turned her into a public enemy because of a sentence Austin said."Why was I the one in the wrong? What's wrong with me taking the 200 thousand dollars from his mother to help my brother?"He schemed against me on purpose, and I was the real victim here. Why are you all blaming me like that?"As Nancy walked home, the bitter feeling haunted her heart.It was getting dark.She h

Even Derek and Harvey were shocked by Urma's actions.Derek subconsciously grabbed Urma. "Are you out of your mind? Haven't we made a fool of ourselves already?"Urma stubbornly shook Derek off, glaring viciously at him.Right after that, she smiled again as she said in a gentle tone, "My dear son-in-law, our family was in the wrong back then. Please have mercy and get back together with Nancy."Please don't abandon my daughter."She spoke humbly, and she was no longer aggressive like she used to be."Abandon?"Nancy mumbled. Her mother's words were like a hot and sharp blade that had cruelly pierced her heart.She was already in shambles, and in that instant, she felt dizzy.What did her mother consider her to be?What did her mother say when she was divorced? Why would her mother say something like that now?The call suddenly ended.The smile on Urma's face disappeared without a trace, and indescribable coldness took its place.Turning around, Urma pinched Derek's arm fi
