To Austin, Urma's and Derek's visit to Heavensgate Residence was merely an interlude.He didn't care about them at all, and he regarded them with disdain.If someone was walking, would they constantly look at the ground to see if they had stepped on any ants?Of course not!The grand scale of the pre-sales of Hydra Gardens was unprecedented, and it took the whole city by storm.In just the first day, all the properties were sold out.Austin had already anticipated that.But now, his objective was to strike the iron while the fire was hot. He would be proceeding with the next pre-sales project.With the one billion dollars on the orchid card, he was abundant in cash flow. He could influence the whole west city slum redevelopment project as well.Because of his injury, he hadn't gone to work in a while. He spent the whole morning getting a rough idea of the company's situation.Then, he spent some time checking his emails. Most of them were congratulatory emails from his peers.

When Austin met Cecily at the lobby of Yandell Corp, Cecily mischievously stuck out her tongue like a young child who had done something wrong."Alright, fine, lunch is on me today."Austin smiled. Reaching up, he lovingly scratched Cecily's nose."But of course. That's your punishment for hiding it from me."He was curious about Cecily's background, but he didn't ask about it. It was the same thing as when Cecily decided against asking about his benefactor.They maintained a silent agreement on these matters.Cecily selected a restaurant to get lunch. After taking their seats, they ordered some food. Then, they chatted as they ate.They had a wonderful time.There weren't any odd or awkward feelings resulting from the revelation of Cecily's identity.However, they were halfway through their meal when a call ruined the atmosphere between them.It was a call from Raquel!Did something happen to Dahlia?Frowning, Austin hastily answered the call."Mr. Campbell, bad news… Waa

Sand and cement were piled up in a corner of the construction site.The floor was covered in dust.At that moment, a dozen men wearing safety helmets were holding steel pipe shovels in their hands as they gathered around. The shovels in their hands were mercilessly brought down.In the crowd, Aldus and Raquel were huddled together.Aldus stubbornly shielded Raquel with his huge body. When the shovels landed on his back, countless thuds could be heard.Raquel was terrified. She wailed with all her might, but she still gripped the phone in her hand tightly.She knew that the phone was the last resort that could save her and Aldus!The two were in bad shape. Their clothes were tattered, and Raquel's face was bruised as well. There were even traces of blood on the corner of her mouth.As for Aldus, his whole face was covered in blood a long time ago, and blood was still oozing out of the wound on his head. His whole body was gravely injured as well."Aldus… It's all my fault…"Fa

Magnus and the others felt their throats tightening up when they heard Austin's cold voice.How could a lone man be brave enough to provoke a dozen men?He must be joking!"Fighters in suits, huh? Alright, since you don't plan on playing nice, I'm going hard on you too!"Magnus' expression was ferocious. Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand. "Beat him up! I'll take responsibility for the consequences!"In that instant, the dozen men dashed up to Austin with the shovels in their hands.Meanwhile, Magnus retreated to the back of the crowd.Austin sneered. There was a cold gleam in his eyes as he rushed toward Magnus, who was backing away.He wasn't someone who was easily bullied. He had tolerated the Welches for three years because he loved Nancy.But out there, if he was still a man prone to getting bullied, he wouldn't have become the vice president of Dominion in a mere three years.Thanks to the spartan training he had a while back, Austin's physique was far superior to th

At Legacy Hospital, Aldus was sent to the emergency room.The doctor had also dressed Austin's and Raquel's wounds.Then, Austin and Raquel sat outside the emergency room.Raquel was extremely worried, and her expression betrayed her feelings.Meanwhile, Austin closed his eyes as he sat there, his left hand gently fiddling with the gauze wrapped around his right fingers.After a half-hour wait, Aldus was finally brought out.Raquel was relieved when she saw that, and she let out a long sigh.Austin also stopped fiddling with the gauze as he opened his eyes.After settling Aldus in the ward, Austin left some instructions before turning around and leaving.Throughout the process, he never once asked about the details at the construction site."I'm fine. Please tell sir everything." Smiling, Aldus comforted the startled Raquel.He knew that Raquel was worried that Austin might fire her because of what happened that day.With Raquel's current situation, she couldn't afford to l
