Winner Takes All Chapter 597
A few hours later, Austin felt as though his limbs were going to detach themselves from his body and fall apart. Still, Cecily seemed as energetic as when they'd just entered the mall. She looked like she'd gained renewed enthusiasm after entering each store in the mall. Austin started to wonder if he'd end up like the poor puppy he saw not long ago. He took a deep breath and said, "Cecily, it's about time we rested for a bit and had lunch." "Oh right. I forgot about that," Cecily laughed and patted her forehead at her forgetfulness. "Sorry, honey. What do you want for lunch? It's my treat! Take it as compensation for having to accompany me all morning." "What do you want to eat?" Austin repeated her question. "I'm fine with anything.""How about barbeque?" Austin suggested, to which Cecily shook her head and replied, "The smell will stick to my clothes. I won't be able to enjoy shopping later." A wave of helplessness washed over Austin. She was quite the cheeky one. "

His snide remarks gained the attention of many around them. Some passers-by stopped to watch. Cecily's beauty was like a star shining brightly in the night sky. Any person who laid their eyes on her would agree that she was pretty, but they'd merely admire her beauty from afar. No one dared to be so imprudent and impertinent as the middle-aged man. Some of the onlookers looked at Austin with sympathy in their eyes. To them, Austin was going to be humiliated so badly, and his confidence would be squashed into oblivion. At first glance, they knew that the middle-aged man was a rich guy who came from a prominent background. No one would try to make trouble for him. Now, some of the onlookers started gossiping among themselves. The moment the words left the middle-aged man's mouth, a shadow fell across Austin's face. A sheen of frost appeared in his eyes. Cecily, on the other hand, couldn't stifle her laughter any longer. She looked at the man, amused."What do you mean by tha

Half an hour later, the siren of the ambulance faded as the vehicle drove off into the distance. Silence blanketed this corner of the shopping center as the onlookers stared at Austin, shock and fear written all over their faces. No one expected the young man, who ate a corn dog while sitting on the bench in the corridor, to be the owner of Dominion Properties. If they hadn't seen it for themselves, they would never have believed that someone could get beaten up so badly that his own mother would not have recognized him at first glance. They looked fearful, but none of them pitied the middle-aged man. He was the one who started it, after all. He was a self-conceited nouveau riche who teased and humiliated the wife of Dominion Properties' owner. No one could stand him and his outrageous behavior. Austin's status aside, any ordinary man wouldn't tolerate a scumbag like the middle-aged man. Humiliating a person's wife was simply unacceptable! Also, a man would be better of

There were oysters and fatty seafood that were good for improving fertility. Still, wasn't this a bit too much? Austin stared at the food, stunned. Cecily, on the other hand, looked confused. Ezra slowly put the newspaper down and smiled knowingly at Austin. "You need to replenish your energy, Austin." His words rendered Austin and Cecily speechless. Just then, Aldus and Raquel came out of the kitchen and placed the final dish, seasoned leeks, on the table. She was even thoughtful enough to decorate the dish by sprinkling some parsley on top of it. "What the heck? This was simply too much to handle!" Austin thought to himself. "It's time for dinner," said Aldus smilingly. "What is it?" Cecily asked upon seeing the awkward look on Austin's face. Austin sniffed and smiled an awkward smile at her. Then, he pretended as if nothing was wrong and sat down with her to start eating. Cecily had no idea how these dishes affected the male human body, but Austin was too embarrass

The Carlton Hotel was a four-star hotel. Its ambiance, interior, and service were tip-top. Still, it was one star less than the Collis Hotel, and that one star made a whole lot of difference. Austin never thought that that person would stay in a hotel like this. After parking the car, he went into the hotel, his expression grave all the while. He had no idea why that person would come here at this moment, but since he'd come here, Austin had no reason to avoid him. It involved his deceased mother, after all. The bell chimed, and the elevator doors opened. Austin stepped out of the elevator and walked along the corridor until he found Suite 99999. He raised his hand and rapped on the door. A few seconds later, the door opened to reveal Terry standing in the doorway. Terry looked much paler than before when they met at the capital. He seemed to lack the air of viciousness he previously had. "You're here," said Terry without much of an expression as he moved out of the way

After Terry placed the teacups on the table, Itijah slowly opened his mouth to speak. "Your mother's gone," he told Austin. "Even so, she's still a part of the Emerson family.""She's not," said Austin curtly. A vein pulsed on his temple, and he felt anger rising within him. "My mom goes by the name Dahlia Campbell." Itijah laughed heartily. "But the blood that flowed in her veins makes her a part of the Emerson family." "So what?" Austin spat. The smile on Itijah's face vanished without a trace, replaced by sorrow and sadness. "I should've told you about this during the funeral," he explained. "But your father was emotionally unstable at that time. I had to keep it a secret from you until this day." He looked up and stared into Austin's eyes. "Dahlia was born in the Emerson family. Although she's gone, she's still a part of our family. I was wrong for treating her so badly back then."He continued, "She's no longer alive, but I've wronged her and want to atone for my s

The door closed with a resounding bang. The room was once again thrown into pin-drop silence. Itijah and Terry were frozen at the spot. Austin just said that engraving Dahlia's name on the plaque in the Emerson family's mausoleum meant nothing to him. How could a person be so pompous? The Emersons weren't as affluent as the Campbells, but that didn't give Austin the right to insult them as he wished!Not only did Austin insult the Emersons, but he also humiliated their ancestors. His words echoed in Itijah's and Terry's minds. To them, Austin was too full of himself. He was too proud and conceited for his own good! It was as if Austin saw himself as a deity and thought he had the right to look down on the entire Emerson family. "Dad, Austin is too full of himself!" Terry seethed. "I just don't get it. Why did you try to get on his good side?" His face was red from the rage swelling within him. The words Austin spat before leaving just now hurt him as if someone had jus

The fury in Itijah's voice showed just how much he looked down on Terry and his brothers. "Thanks to Austin's strength of character and his abilities, he was favored by the former head of our family," Itijah said. "Even if he doesn't see himself as a part of our family, with his power and support from the Campbell family, he could ensure that our family remains the richest in the capital." He continued, "With him on our side, no one in the capital regardless of their wealth and status, would have the courage to mess with our family. He's the only person who can protect us and shield us from harm!" Itijah raised his voice when he spoke. He was practically yelling when he said the last sentence. Due to how emotional he got, his body started trembling again. At this point, even his face had turned beet red. All of a sudden, he spat blood. The crimson liquid that spurted from his mouth splattered onto the ground and also on Terry's face. Terry's heart leaped into his throat, an
