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

Jacob's expression shifted, and he widened his eyes.The young man was staring at him. Despite his calm and collected personality, he couldn't help his racing heart.Jacob thought, "Take credit? This has to be a joke!"He was a heroic figure in this city, and he was peerless in the business field. Why would he take credit for something?"Hm?"The young man raised an eyebrow as he prodded.Rubbing his forehead, Jacob lowered his head and smiled. "Yes.""You don't have to rush." The young man looked away and gazed out of the building.Sensing that the young man had averted his gaze, Jacob instantly felt like a weight was lifted off his shoulders. He let out a sigh of relief.Even though he was a heroic figure, he had never seen such a sharp gaze before!Meanwhile, on the wide road, a black Mercedes-Benz was cruising along.The person driving was a manager from Emerald Retreat.As a manager, he was well aware of the significance of the two men sitting in the back seat. Jacob h

In the Maybach, as Magnus listened to the roar of the engine and the rising speed, he felt like his blood was boiling too.He had completely forgotten about the pain in his leg. Sitting in the middle, he stared straight at the Mercedes-Benz in front of them, which was getting closer by the second. His eyes had turned red."Ram into them! Do it like you're trying to kill them!"Beside Magnus, Reginald had a vicious smile on his face as he leaned against the seat. He lightly rubbed his bald head with his right hand. "In this city, except for Jacob, no one dares to oppose me!"With that, he patted Magnus, who was all worked up. "Calm the hell down and sit properly. When we collide later, you might break your other leg.""Right, you're absolutely right, Reginald."Magnus came to his senses. He hastily leaned back in his seat and put on his seatbelt.Smiling, Reginald said, "Take out your phone and get ready to call the ambulance. We got into an accident, so we can't ignore the casua

There weren't many cars on the road leading from Emerald Retreat to the city.It was evening, and there were few cars on the road.At that moment, two cars rammed into the side of the road one after the other. Then, they stopped.The side and front of the Mercedes-Benz had deformed, but the Maybach ahead of them had thick smoke coming out of its hood!With an angry shout, someone kicked open the door of the Mercedes-Benz.Wolf was the first to climb out of the car. Ignoring the bloody gash on his forehead, which was caused by a shard of broken glass, he hastily turned around and helped Austin out of the car."Mr. Campbell, w-we survived."Austin managed to get out of the car. Before he could catch his breath, he helped Wolf drag the manager out of the driver's seat.The manager was stupefied. His face was pale, and he had a blank look in his eyes.After he was dragged out of the car, he simply slumped on the ground.Austin checked the manager's condition. After making sure th
