Winner Takes All Chapter 42
A candlelit dinner, wine, and a beautiful woman.Everything was perfect.The half-drunk Susie seemed like she wanted to melt into Austin's embrace. The alcohol warmed her body, making her breath carry a gentle fragrance.As the distance between them closed, Austin felt an intense sensation.In the candlelight, Susie's black lace dress appeared especially charming.Austin couldn't help but squint, the smile on his face deepening.Just as they were about to get closer, he suddenly said, "I'm only here for a deal."Susie trembled, and her eyelashes flickered. Smiling, she said, "Of course, it's just a deal."Suddenly, the smile vanished from Austin's face. "I mean, I'll give you money, and you'll help me with a favor. That's all."After that, he held Susie's waist with both hands and pushed her away. As he stood up, he explained his plan and then left.His abrupt change in attitude caught Susie off guard, and she sobered up a little.What was he trying to do?Why leave when th

Urma spoke to Harvey seriously, but a smile appeared on her lips. "By the way, with a daughter-in-law like Susie in our family, I can show off a bit in front of those relatives and friends."She raised her eyebrows and continued, "But you, Nancy, look at what kind of man you chose. That moocher, Austin, ended up divorcing you. I feel embarrassed."Nancy's smile stiffened, and she lowered her head with a dim expression.Tomorrow was Harvey's engagement ceremony, so she didn't want to tell her parents everything she knew to avoid making them unhappy."Hey, don't talk about such things on this joyous day. Be happy!"Derek, being the head of the family, gave Urma a stern look and changed the subject. "Oh, right, have we invited all our relatives and friends? I'll make a call to confirm.""Yes, yes, and I need to call the hotel too. We can't mess it up and mistreat Susie." Urma enthusiastically started to get busy.That night, the Welch family was immersed in a joyous atmosphere, unl

The relatives headed into the hotel.Not long into the walk, the smiles on their faces vanished."Heh! What's with the arrogance? Just because Harvey managed to marry a good wife? That kid really got lucky. Her daughter just got divorced anyway."When Derek and Urma heard this, their smiles stiffened.Derek pulled Urma aside and whispered, "Don't you think you're flaunting too much like this?""I want to flaunt. Harv found a good wife. When they say these things, they're just jealous. If they have the ability, let their sons find someone like Susie," Urma said proudly.At that moment, Nancy, wearing a red dress, walked over with a joyful smile. "Mom, Dad, all relatives and friends are here. Let's go inside."Derek and Urma nodded with smiles. The latter then spoke to Nancy with concern. "Nancy, you've worked hard to help Harv these days.""Mom, it's nothing. I'm Harv's sister after all." Nancy was moved. Looking at the festive scene before her, she felt that the hardships she e

Harvey lied to get engaged?This thought simultaneously crossed the minds of everyone present.The engagement banquet had 30 tables. Yet the Welch family didn't have many relatives, so Urma invited neighbors who were close to the family in order to make herself look good.It was understandable that these people wouldn't really save the Welch family from embarrassment."A lady wouldn't do something like this on such an occasion unless she was extremely upset.""This is really shameful. What kind of situation was she forced into that caused her to do this?""I told you. Susie is such a good girl. How could she have feelings for Harvey? It turns out Harvey used tricks to deceive her."…Listening to the discussions, Urma and Derek were on the verge of passing out.Nancy stared fixedly at the bank card thrown out by Susie. At this moment, she felt a chilling sensation, as if she had fallen into an ice cave."Susie, how did I lie to you?"Harvey became anxious. He stood up with t

"Things are not like this. They're not like this at all!”Urma was on the verge of collapse. She had invited so many relatives and friends just to show off.But now, the laughter and accusations from them made her feel like dying."Are you saying that Susie, a girl from another city, is lying and making a scene in front of us?"Amidst the crowd, a sharp scream resounded. "You Welches are really something else. If you can't afford to get married, then don't. Don't bully a lady like this."Trembling, Urma looked around to find the source of the voice. But everyone around her had stood up, so she couldn't identify who was speaking.Her eyes turned red, and she ran straight to Nancy.A slap landed hard on Nancy's face, bringing her out of her daze.The furious Urma poked Nancy's head with her right hand. "You little brat. Didn't you say everything was settled? Didn't you say Susie had already agreed? What's going on now?""Mom ... I ..."Nancy tried to explain, but she knew that

After leaving Dominion, Austin took a car to a nearby housework agency."Hello, sir. How may I assist you?" A middle-aged man in his forties greeted him.Austin replied, "I'd like to hire a caregiver."Due to the stress from Nancy, Dahlia's condition had worsened. The doctor's words served as a warning to him.With his busy schedule in the west city slum redevelopment project, he couldn't afford to be with Dahlia 24/7.So, hiring a caregiver to take care of her was undoubtedly the best choice."You've come to the right place. We're professionals. Please have a seat."The middle-aged man invited Austin to sit down. After he poured some tea, he asked, "Sir, do you have any specific requirements for the caregiver?"Taking a sip of tea, Austin said, "She should be able to fight.""Fight?"The middle-aged man, who was drinking tea, spat it out when he heard this requirement. He looked at Austin strangely. "Ahem ... Sir, this requirement is quite..."Was he looking for a caregiver

Austin entrusted Matt with one of the areas in the west city slum redevelopment project.Matt wiped the sweat from his forehead."I just came back from the west city. The residents suddenly started causing trouble, claiming that the compensation we offered was too little. They didn't want to move."Austin's face darkened. "Slum redevelopment is a municipal project. The compensation is standardized. The compensation we're providing already exceeds the standard rates because Brock increased the amount by 30 million."Also, all the preparations for demolition and relocation have been prepared. The contracts are all signed. Why are they causing trouble all of a sudden?""I don't know."Matt looked helpless. "After the news of Wirtucon moving in spread, housing prices in the west city slum skyrocketed. I was worried that the residents might be dissatisfied with how much we gave them, so I looked into the opinions of the residents."Since our compensation exceeded the standard rates,

In the Palatial Club, after hanging up, Brock sneered and tossed his phone aside. "Damn it. Does he really think he's all that?"The situation in the west city slum was indeed orchestrated by him.In Brock's mind, Austin was just a former lackey who used to grovel at his side.Even though someone had assisted Austin in acquiring Dominion, Brock wouldn't allow a lapdog to climb over his head.Moreover, the last time in the alley outside the Palatial Club, Austin's men gave Brock a good beating.With Jacob's powerful backing, how could he not seek revenge for this grudge?He knew Austin had someone backing him up. But even so, could it compare to the support he had from Jacob?"Mr. Brock, what happened?" A heavily made-up woman was nestled in Brock's arms.He shrugged. "There's just a dog who thinks he's become something. Isn't that funny?"The woman traced circles on Brock's chest with her fingertips and cooed, "Mr. Brock ..."Brock raised an eyebrow.
