Winner Takes All Chapter 103
Blood splattered out.Austin frowned as a fierce expression took over his face.There was a gash on his left arm, and it was bleeding profusely.Fortunately, he'd dodged the attack on time. If not, even if he didn't die from it, he would have had to lose an arm.A human life meant nothing to Taylor."Tch … I thought you were skilled, but you're still trash."Taylor slowly turned around and stood at the entrance, blocking Austin's way out. He sneered mockingly.Austin took a deep breath. Then, he stared at Taylor with a gloomy look on his face.Taylor suddenly raised a leg and held it against the door frame. Smiling, he said, "Actually, you have a choice. If you crawl out from under my legs, I'll let you live. But you have to leave that woman behind.""We'll see who gets left behind!"A sharp gleam flashed across Austin's eyes. In an instant, he grabbed a chair and dashed toward Taylor.In the dimly lit room, the two got entangled in a fight.Time and again, the noise of the

Austin was smiling, but the coldness in his tone made Taylor feel as if the temperature of their surroundings had instantly decreased.His body shivered uncontrollably, and his heart raced.At that moment, as Taylor was faced with Austin, who was smiling viciously, he had a rare moment where he felt extreme fear. He was terrified.True, Taylor wouldn't hesitate to end Austin's life.But he had never expected Austin to insist on attacking him, even if it meant getting stabbed.Austin was trying to kill Taylor while putting his own life on the line!"Die! Go to hell!"As if he had suddenly gone crazy, Taylor held the dagger with his right hand and began twisting it.Terrifying creaks sounded from Austin's chest.It was the sound of the blade tearing through skin and flesh.But Austin never let go. Even if his left hand was bloody from getting cut by the dagger, he never once let go.He widened his eyes as he glared viciously at Taylor.He could feel the blood quickly draining

Austin slowly opened his eyes.The piercing smell of disinfectant surged into his nasal cavities.He was a little bewildered. "I didn't die?"At the side, a stern-faced Aldus finally relaxed. He smiled as he said, "Sir, that dagger avoided all vital points. You only fainted from the huge loss of blood. It's a good thing that you were rescued in time."Austin smiled, relaxing. He had never expected that.Back then, he was just trying to protect Cecily. He wouldn't regret it even if Taylor killed him with the dagger.He would be satisfied as long as he could buy enough time for Aldus to arrive and save Cecily.He truly was lucky that the dagger had avoided all his vital points.Austin glanced at the room. Then, his expression turned stern. "Which hospital is this?"If his mother knew that he was injured, she wouldn't be able to handle the shock."Don't worry, sir."Aldus hastily said, "When Mr. Lockwood left, he gave me some instructions. So, I sent you to another hospital."

"Then, you're still an idiot!" Cecily complained.Austin smiled, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he reached up and gently patted Cecily on the back.He knew that Cecily had to be startled, and her heart ached for him. So, it wasn't a bad thing for Cecily to vent her frustrations by crying.Cecily's sobbing gradually died down.She hadn't slept for a whole day, so she was extremely tired.After crying her heart out, she began to feel sleepy.Austin looked at Cecily, who was sound asleep in his arms.He lovingly patted her on the back as he muttered in a soft voice, "Silly woman. You were brave enough to bet your whole life on me, so how can I bear to let you lose? Protecting you is my duty."…Susie was dazed as she sat at the counter in the bank.She never thought that after she'd dressed up last night and happily hurried to Full Fish Pier, she wouldn't see Austin anywhere. Instead, she bumped into Nancy.Even now, she felt awkward when she recalled their encounter.Ev

Harvey rubbed his eyes in disbelief.Why would Susie enter the ward of that damned mother of Austin's?At that moment, he was in a daze.He slowly made his way to the ward.Meanwhile, in the ward, Dahlia smiled gently when she saw Susie. She also asked Raquel to welcome Susie.Unlike how she behaved when she was in Urma's ward, Susie seemed to have turned into another person completely.Her face was full of smiles as she expressed concern for Dahlia. She even peeled an apple for the latter.Her behavior was completely different from before. It felt like a world of difference.In the ward, Susie and Dahlia were happily chatting about everyday things. They seemed to be quite close to each other.Meanwhile, outside the ward, Harvey looked through the glass in the door and saw everything inside the room.At that moment, his mind was buzzing as he stood at the entrance, stunned.He even felt like a computer that had just crashed. He couldn't form any thoughts at all.He was bewi

After letting go of his doubts, Harvey only felt joy and excitement.Susie kept refusing to see him after the engagement banquet, so he knew that Susie was mad. He was even scared that Susie might want to break up with him.But today, Susie came to visit Urma, and based on her words just now, she clearly wasn't angry anymore. So, their relationship could still go on!"Don't worry, Susie, I'll get my parents and my sister to gather the funds as soon as possible so that I can marry you."Harvey clenched his fists. He had a determined look in his eyes.When Harvey returned to the ward in high spirits, Derek and Urma were stunned.For the past few days, they had never seen Harvey so happy before."Harv, did something good happen?" Urma asked first.Smiling, Harvey said, "Dad, Mom, Susie isn't angry anymore. Just now, she even told me that once we've gathered enough funds, she and I can get married.""That's wonderful." Derek was so overcome by emotion that he clasped his hands tog

Three days later, Austin ignored the doctor's protests as he stubbornly completed the discharge procedures.Now, the west city slum redevelopment project had reached its most crucial point. It would be open for pre-sale soon, and Austin still had many things to do.Moreover, if he kept staying in the hospital, he wouldn't be able to visit his mother at Legacy Hospital. When that happened, he wouldn't be able to hide the fact that he got injured.Even though the bandages on his body weren't removed yet, he should be fine if he was careful enough.Cecily and Aldus helped the recently discharged Austin to his rented house.Once there, Cecily was shocked."Austin, have you always been living in a house like this?"The way she saw it, Austin was the president of Dominion Properties, and his annual income would surely exceed one million dollars.Why would he live in a house with just two rooms and a living room, and a rented one at that?Not just her, but any outsider would also fin

"We were so anxious for the past three days, Austin. Everyone was worried that something might have happened to you," Matt said worriedly.Austin smiled, feeling warmth spreading in his heart.He had mentored Matt, and he knew how grateful Matt was toward him.In reality, the people who managed to become managers in various areas in this redevelopment project were people to whom he believed he could entrust great responsibilities."I had to settle some personal matters, but everything is fine now. Why don't you report to me the progress of the project so far?"Austin changed the subject. He didn't want his employees to worry about his health.He was stabbed and had lost a lot of blood. After an emergency rescue, he was discharged after only three days. If he told Matt and the others about that, they might panic even more.Matt didn't ask further. Instead, he began his report. "Each area is progressing steadily. We're also working on the pre-sale permit."It's estimated that we
