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

In Austin's memories, for as long as he could remember, his mother rarely had time to rest. She was always working at least two jobs at the same time, and she worked tirelessly day and night.Ezra smiled bitterly. "Sir… When your father left back then, his huge properties were taken away by the Campbells. But he did leave a part of his wealth to you and your mother…"Austin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Ezra's meaningful tone.Suddenly, a gleam appeared in his eyes. "My mother?"Ezra put on a mysterious smile when he saw the changes in Austin's expression.Austin's thoughts turned complicated in an instant.He thought, "How could this be? There must be a reason for this!"Soon, he suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind.His top priority was to figure out what exactly Dorothy did!Austin asked, "What exactly did Mrs. Campbell Senior do?""She was extra concerned because of your birth, sir."Ezra's expression was a little dark. "So, when she heard that Wirtucon

Austin was elated when he heard the changes in Cecily's tone.Perhaps there would be a chance to rescue their relationship tonight!Austin agreed to it without hesitation.After enduring the whole afternoon, Austin clocked out as early as possible. Then, he rushed to Skyhigh Dining.It was the place where Cecily had asked to meet him.Soon, Cecily's figure appeared at the entrance of Skyhigh Dining.Austin's eyes lit up as he got up and waved. "Cecily."Cecily smiled as she strode toward Austin. "Didn't we agree to meet at 7:00 pm?""I wanted to come over and wait for you."Smiling, Austin said, "You came early too.""I also wanted to come here early to wait for you." Cecily's face was full of smiles. She was no longer cold like she had been in their few previous meetings.Austin felt more assured when he saw that.After ordering the food, they began to chat.Because of the happy atmosphere, Austin felt like they had gone back in time to when Cecily had just returned to th

Smiling, Austin walked over to them."Austin, you're back so late again. Have you had dinner?" Dahlia was complaining, but her eyes were filled with pity.Austin noticed that his mother's eyes were a little red. By the looks of it, she had cried just now."Yes, I had dinner outside with Cecily." Austin didn't ask her about it.It was the first time the two met after Ezra came.It made sense that they would talk about the past, and Dahlia's eyes would redden because of it."Where's Cecily?"Dahlia glanced behind Austin. Then, she pretended to be disappointed as she said, "She's a nice woman. Why didn't you bring her home at night?"Austin was stunned for a moment. Then, when he came to his senses, he rolled his eyes. "Mom, I didn't think you'd have such thoughts."The other four laughed when they heard that.Austin laughed as well.They sat together and chatted for a while.Then, Austin went back to his room first.He lay on the bed. He didn't feel sleepy at all as he gazed

At 8:00 pm, Austin hurried toward Emerald Retreat, which was located outside the city.The place was one of Jacob's properties and also the venue for their meeting this time. It was also a famous private club in the city.Austin had to admit that Jacob truly was quite powerful in this city!However, for the sake of safety, Austin brought Wolf with him.Reginald was Jacob's rival. They had competed with each other for so many years, but there had never been a clear winner. This was proof enough of Reginald's capability.If Reginald wanted to cause a ruckus at the dining table, Jacob might not be able to stop him!The cab pulled up at the entrance of Emerald Retreat.Austin and Wolf got out of the car. Then, they walked into the place right away."Mr. Campbell, is there really a chance to patch things up between you and Reginald?"Wolf knew about the reason for their trip this time. As a follower, he knew that he shouldn't ask too much about it, so he suppressed his questions th

Wolf frowned as he looked at the screen as well. He was puzzled."Mr. Campbell, is something the matter?""They're rich!"Austin added seriously, "They're filthy rich!"Wolf was still confused.Lifting his hand, Austin pointed at the partition screen. His face was red as he said, "It's made of rosewood, and it's probably at least a few hundred years old. It's an antique in itself."As for the painting on it, if I'm not mistaken, it must be Monet's 'Water Lilies'. It's a very valuable treasure!"When Austin was speaking passionately, he clicked his tongue. "But it was placed here to suffice as a partition screen!"Wolf's eyes widened in shock. "Isn't that too much of a waste?"Austin didn't say anything. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the shock in his heart as he stared at the "Water Lilies" on the partition screen.He was quite well-versed in antiques. After all, he was working in the real estate industry. He had dealt with many people, and he couldn't afford to mess up.

The dinner was abnormally smooth sailing.As glasses were emptied and filled, the atmosphere at the table was quite lively.Neither Austin nor Wolf expected that.Reginald was known for being a vicious man. He couldn't possibly let go of the grudge he held against Austin that night.But now, he was all smiles as he kept toasting Austin at the dining table.The meal went on for an hour or so.When Austin and Wolf went out of Emerald Retreat, Wolf still couldn't quite come to his senses."Austin… What exactly was going on just now? I couldn't quite understand it."Wolf was drunk, and he was tripping over his words. He had helped Austin drink most of the wine.Austin rubbed his face to wake himself up from his drunkenness. His gaze was dark as he said thoughtfully, "I couldn't understand it either. With Reginald's reputation, he would've tried to get back at me already."He definitely wouldn't give up just because of my identity and the fact that Jacob was the peacemaker.""T

Reginald wiped his bald head as he smiled viciously, saying, "It has been a while since this Maybach of mine last got into an accident!"With that, he kicked the back of the driver's seat. "Speed up. We're causing an accident!""Got it, Mr. Pearson."Magnus' eyes lit up as he looked at Reginald in excitement. "Reginald, are you going to get revenge for me?"Reginald slapped Magnus on the head as he said in a low voice, "What revenge? This is just a simple and sudden accident.""Right, it's an accident. Accidents are dangerous. No one knows when it'll happen, right?" Magnus thought for a bit before he happily played along.The Maybach let out a beastly roar from its engine as it accelerated.Meanwhile, in the Sky Pavilion of Emerald Retreat, Jacob was leaning against the chair as he held a cup of tea in his hands.He had drunk quite a lot to ease things along just now.But with his alcohol tolerance, he was just a little tipsy at the moment.After drinking the tea, he recovere
