Vincent gestured with both his hands as he continued talking about the past. His voice quivered as he said, "Do you know that when I reached home that day, I saw my mom sprawled on the coffee table, her blood seeping through her clothes, and her blood splattered on the ground?"Her stomach was split open vertically. Her eyes were wide," he said. "The baby lay in a messy pool of blood on the ground as if it was thrown onto the floor like trash. It was already eight months along. I could see that it was a boy. The knife was still stuck in his abdomen." Vincent trembled uncontrollably. His eyes showed fear, resulting from the memories that threatened to overwhelm him. There was also rage in his eyes, and sometimes a murderous look in them. It looked like he was on the verge of losing his sanity. "Two slashes was all it took," he muttered. "My mom died, and my little brother was gone too. I no longer have a family. The harlot and that darned old man who calls himself my father sh

Tears coursed down Austin's cheeks as he hung his head and stared at the floor. Vincent's face fell, and he let out a dejected sigh. He didn't bother Austin anymore. Instead, he turned and left the room. In the living room downstairs, Walter, Cecily, and the others raised their eyes to look at Vincent, their faces drawn and grim. They heard the commotion upstairs, and it made them anxious. No one except Vincent knew what had happened. When Vincent finally descended the stairs, they all shot up from their seats. "Vincent, how's Austin?" Cecily asked, worried. "He's okay now. You can go up and keep him company," Vincent answered with a shrug. With a smile, he added, "Just be prepared, though. You might get drenched in his tears." Upon hearing that, Cecily sprinted upstairs. Walter and the others let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. Letting it all out and crying is good for him." Edward nodded. Then, he and Rachel shot each other a relieved smile. Walter seemed to

"I'll tell you about it on the balcony," said Austin, standing up. He headed upstairs with Walter following closely behind him. Cecily and the others didn't follow the two of them upstairs. This was the first time Walter and Austin chatted, and it just so happened to be after the latter finally let go of the thing that weighed on his heart. It wasn't right for the others to follow the two of them when Austin wanted to talk to Walter alone. When they reached the balcony, Austin rested his elbows on the railing and propped his head on his hand. He seemed to be swimming in his thoughts as he enjoyed the night breeze. With a frown, an anxious Walter walked over to the balcony and gingerly asked, "Is something the matter, Austin?" Back then, one of the factors he used to convince Austin to agree to become his successor was that Austin could bring Dahlia back here. That way, she could regain her title as the head of the family's wife. Now, Dahlia was gone. The factor seemed to

Whoosh! It was the sound of Austin's fist cutting the air. Walter stood still. He didn't even flinch. The fist abruptly stopped no more than an inch away from Walter's face. Austin lowered his fist slowly. The look on his face was as cold as ice, and his eyes harbored flames of rage. "Why didn't you hit me?" Walter smiled bitterly, his voice bleak. "You should've hit me." Anyone who heard these words would be astonished. Walter was the head of the Campbell family and had all the money in the world. Why did he look so despondent? "Hitting you won't bring Mom back anyway," Austin spat.He turned around to gaze at Heavensgate Hill in the distance and mumbled to himself, "It's in the past now. I have to look forward, right?" Walter kept his silence as the heavy tendrils of guilt wrapped themselves around his heart. He went along with Dorothy's scheme simply because he wanted to hone Austin's talents and character. What happened to Zayne came as a total surprise, and Wa

"Do you want to return to the Redmont family?" Austin asked. The question came as a total surprise, and Vincent froze. "I'm no longer a part of that family. Why would I go back to them?" "To take revenge," Austin stated plainly. His sentence was curt, yet the atmosphere in the living room seemed to turn taut because of it. Ezra, Edward, and the others in the room were shocked at his response. Cecily opened her mouth as if to say something, but she couldn't find the words for it. Even Vincent himself didn't expect that to come out of Austin's mouth. An incomprehensible look flashed across Vincent's eyes, but soon, it disappeared entirely. He said, "We are no match for them yet."Desperate times called for desperate measures. However, the Redmonts weren't anywhere near desperate for now. They were currently a strong and powerful family. Even the Emersons in the capital couldn't compare to the Redmonts in terms of wealth and power. "So what?" Austin raised an eyebrow. He gave

The best night ever? Austin froze, confused. A second later, he got what she meant, and his heart started to race. "What are you waiting for?" Cecily quirked an eyebrow meaningfully at him. Her beauty was one of a kind. Even a small smile from her made her appear all the more dazzling and enchanting. Austin was very much delighted at this. He never thought that Cecily's gaze could be so enticingly sharp before. He took a deep breath and walked into the bathroom. After taking a shower, he wrapped himself in a bathrobe and left the bathroom. The bedroom was already dark by then because Cecily had already turned the lights off. The only source of light was from the lamp on the bedside table. Even so, its yellowish light was dim. Cecily had already covered herself with the blanket. The bathrobe she wore just now was on the ground. She lay in bed and pulled the blanket over her nose all while staring at Austin shyly. In her bashful eyes, he could see a ripple of longing. It

Austin's tone abruptly changed when he said, "Do you remember Vincent killing Zayne at the wedding?""Yeah." Terror flashed across Cecily's pretty face. "His face was terrifying. No one would've been able to stop him if it weren't for you taking action." Austin smiled bitterly at the thought. "That's why I asked him to join me to take revenge. He claims that he's climbed out from that hellhole called his past, yet all along, he's been trying to hide his rage and hatred behind his smiles." He added, "And it all happened because of the Redmont family!" "I get it now." Cecily nodded. She gave him a gentle reminder. "I know you want to take revenge on them and that you want to help Vincent let go of his past for good, but promise me that you'll stay safe. You have to come back here if things don't go according to plan." That she said, she patted her tummy and shot him a cunning yet dazzling smile. "The baby and I will wait for you to come back home." "Really? Are you pregnant al

Walter left in a hurry. He didn't even stay to chat with Austin for a little longer. He hopped onto the helicopter and left right after breakfast. Austin knew very well that if they wanted to wipe out the Redmont family, they had to get rid of an obstacle—Dorothy.She worked hand in hand with the Redmont family. By listing out all her schemes and tricks, anyone could see that she was on the same side as the Redmonts. If Austin made a move against the Redmonts, they'd surely ask Dorothy for help, and she'd definitely help them. By creating trouble for either party, both parties would be affected. Austin understood this, and so, the Redmonts and Dorothy herself understood this too. By locking Dorothy up, Walter provided Austin and Vincent with the chance to strike back against the Redmonts. Soon after Walter left, Austin left Heavensgate Residence together with Vincent and Aldus. They headed to the airport in the suburbs. Ezra stayed in Isonburg to handle company-related mat
