"Wolf!"The other security guards immediately stepped forward to support Wolf.To the security guards, Wolf was the leader who appeared from nowhere. But they knew that Austin had personally recommended Wolf, so they didn't have any complaints.The punch instantly caused the atmosphere to turn tense.At the same time, the onlookers shouted in surprise as well."He's too arrogant. Does he think that he owns this place or something?""Hey, didn't you hear what he said? He's the brother-in-law of Dominion's Mr. Campbell, haha… Seriously?"Everyone knows about Mr. Campbell's divorce, and he even showed off his love for his new girlfriend during the Hydra Gardens pre-sales."The Welches' reputation is already ruined, but he's here to disgrace himself even more."Someone else said, "Right, I watched the news too. The Welches are so shameless! This guy is in his 20s, right? He's like one of those immature teenagers!"As Harvey listened to the discussions of the people around him, hi
Wolf and Matt returned to Austin's office. They told Austin how they dealt with the problem.When Austin heard that, he only gave a calm response before telling Wolf and Matt to leave.While Wolf was giving his report, Austin's phone rang with continuous notifications from WhatsApp.After Wolf and Matt left, Austin finally took his phone and navigated to WhatsApp.When he read the messages, his eyes widened, and his expression shifted.Fury boiled inside him.The messages Susie sent were like burning hot knives that stabbed his heart.He was furious!Austin slammed his palm on the office desk.The employees outside the office were startled when they heard the thunderous noise.What happened?The employees all thought of Austin as a calm and collected man.From when he became the vice president till he took over Dominion, he had never lost his cool like this!Even when he bought Dominion and was scammed by Brock so badly that everyone thought Dominion was going to go bankru
Austin said coldly, "You'll pay the price for this. It's too late for regrets now!"After ending the call, Austin called the bank right away.Since Susie wanted to attack his weak point, it was only natural that he responded in kind!Meanwhile, in a café near Yandell Corp, Susie tossed her phone onto the couch and lay face down on the table as she sobbed.She was crying so hard that the people around her looked at her curiously. But no one stepped forward.She thought, "Why? Why would you treat me like this? What did I do wrong?"She felt extremely miserable, and her body kept trembling as she cried."Is it so wrong to pursue what I want? There are tons of people like me out there, so why am I the only one who has to be in this situation? I've already given you my body, so why won't you appreciate it?"The string of questions and angry interrogations were slowly voiced out as Susie sobbed.When the people around her heard that, they pitied her. They shook their heads and sighe
In the evening, Austin received a call from Cecily to meet up at Skyhigh Dining.After ending the call, Austin made a few calls before setting out for the date.Still, he felt his heart wrench at the thought of the location Cecily had chosen to meet him.Skyhigh Dining was where they had made their relationship official.Since Cecily had chosen that place, Austin could guess her intentions.By the time Austin arrived at the ground floor of Skyhigh Dining, it was already 7:00 pm.Cecily's Porsche 911 was sitting quietly in the parking lot. By the looks of it, Cecily had arrived a long time ago.Taking a deep breath, Austin walked into the elevator.When the elevator doors opened, soft and relaxing music reached Austin's ears.The dim lights decorated the restaurant beautifully."Mr. Campbell?"The waiter at the entrance stepped forward.Austin nodded."Come with me. Ms. Graham has reserved the whole place tonight."Following the waiter into Skyhigh Dining, Austin spotted C
"I don't want you to misunderstand." Austin smiled bitterly.Cecily shook her head. Slightly raising her head, she looked at the ceiling. She took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I didn't misunderstand anything. What could I misunderstand about you?""Susie…" Austin didn't want to drag this out any longer.If things like this were dragged out, it would only make them worse."It's nothing. I'm fine, really."Cecily reached up and wiped the corners of her eyes. Smiling, she gestured at the food. "Come, let's eat. I ordered a lot of food, so you must try it all."Her behavior felt like a sharp blade that pierced Austin's heart ruthlessly.Austin's heart ached for her.Glancing at his watch, he felt that it was about time.Austin dialed Wolf's number. "Bring her here."After ending the call, Austin looked at Cecily earnestly. "Cecily, I never wronged you. I'll explain it properly."Tears instantly welled up in Cecily's eyes. "Please don't explain anything, alright? After t
As Austin finished speaking, the teary-eyed Cecily and the stunned Susie both looked at the janitor, who was standing next to Wolf.Looking at Susie, the janitor nodded. "Miss, it's true. That night, this man only sent you to the hotel. Then, he gave me 200 dollars to take care of you."Cecily was in a daze, and for a moment, she couldn't make up her mind.Meanwhile, Susie widened her pretty eyes as she put on a look of disbelief.She thought, "Impossible! That can't be true! I was already in that state that night, but he only sent me to the hotel?"Susie came from a humble background, but fortunately, she was born with good looks. She also knew how to use her good looks to her benefit.So, after she made it into society, she had always had things her way."What about the note? What's up with the note?"Susie's eyes gleamed as if she had grabbed the last straw that would save her life. She grabbed Austin's arm tightly. "If you never did anything, why would you leave that note?"
"That's why you cruelly used Susie?" Cecily was slightly hesitant."Yes!"Austin responded decisively, "I'm someone who managed to crawl out of the darkness bit by bit, and I can endure it. I don't know what being young and wild means. I only know that… the winner is king!""Austin…"Cecily's eyes shimmered. At that moment, her thoughts were extremely complicated.Her mind was also in chaos.She didn't know how to continue talking to Austin. The events today had challenged her worldviews too much.Even though the words her father taught her were identical to Austin's, she had never experienced a situation like that before. She couldn't quite accept it.Scratching her hair, Cecily said, "I think I'll go home for now. I need some time to understand this and also to consider our relationship."Austin smiled. He didn't stop her.It was true that the things he said were quite extreme.But he had to make Cecily understand the cause and effect.He didn't want to hide anything rega
They had agreed to meet at a restaurant on a floor below Dominion.Austin hurried to the restaurant. When he saw Ezra, he couldn't help but be stunned.At that moment, Ezra looked even older than before. There was also the obvious look of fatigue on his face.Aldus, who was sitting next to Ezra, had a stern look on his face. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together. He must have known something beforehand."Sir."Ezra got up and smiled warmly like he had done in the past."Please sit."Austin helped Ezra to his seat. Then, he asked, "Mr. Lockwood, what exactly happened when you were away?"Ezra smiled bitterly. "It's something that concerns the family. Mr. Walter urgently wanted me to go back."Austin took a sip of the drink as he quietly waited for Ezra to continue."It's because Mr. Walter used Wirtucon Corporation to help you, sir." Ezra sounded tired.Austin raised an eyebrow. He suddenly found it amusing."He's the head of the family, right? Can't he have a say even
