As she spoke, Urma raised her hand to hit the security guards again.Just then, a shout suddenly rang out from the walkie-talkie on the second security guard. It was connected to the property management office. "Get them out of there!"When the voice rang out, the two security guards, who were already at their limit, instantly beamed.Urma was bringing her hand down upon them when one of the security guards reached up and grabbed her wrist."Hear that? Our manager wants you out of here. How dare you keep causing a fuss here?""What! How dare you stop me?"Urma was instantly shocked. She screamed, "You're just a watchdog, and you're trying to get in my way?"As she shouted, she extended her other hand to scratch the security guard's face."Ah!"The security guard was caught by surprise as bloody scratches appeared on his face.In his pain, the security guard shook off Urma's wrist.Urma instantly let out a shout, staggering a few steps backward before she fell butt-first on
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.
"Quit the nonsense."Austin rolled his eyes. He had never expected Cecily to be the new president of Yandell Corp.What did this mean?Didn't Cecily say that she was working?Who would become the president of the top material supplier in the city on their first day of work?Austin scratched his head. When he remembered the support from Yandell, he suddenly had a weird feeling in his heart.Did he… unknowingly… depend on his girlfriend?Matt grinned as he continued, "Well, for lunch today, should I help you invite your girlfriend… I mean, the president of Yandell?"Austin looked at Matt's smile, feeling that something was off.He rolled his eyes. "If you're that free, why don't you help out at the construction site?"Matt shrugged as he quickly left the office.As Austin looked at the document in front of him, he was at a loss.The surprise Cecily had given him was just too huge!After hesitating for a moment, Austin dialed Cecily's number.Cecily answered the call soon en
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
Of course, all this was before the west city slum redevelopment project started.At that moment, the construction site had high walls all around it, and its entrance was closed.Within the construction site, various building tools and machinery were running as always.A white Porsche 911 arrived in a rush.With a screech, it pulled up in front of the closed entrance.Austin's expression was cold as he looked at the entrance with narrowed eyes.The construction site was running, so it wasn't reasonable for the entrance to be closed!After all, countless material carts had to enter and exit the construction site."Hey, what are you doing, blocking the entrance like that? Are you looking for trouble? Get lost!"A middle-aged man in a supervisor uniform and a safety helmet pointed at Austin as he shouted angrily.Curving his lips into a cold smile, Austin opened the door and got out of the car.The middle-aged man immediately put on a fierce expression. Striding forward, he poin
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
When Aldus and Raquel heard the familiar voice, their eyes lit up.The hook-nosed man and the dozen men turned around in shock at the same time, looking in the direction of the voice.In his suit, Austin slowly walked toward them from afar.His expression was cold, and his gaze was stern.He walked right past the crowd as his gaze fell upon Aldus and Raquel, who were lying awkwardly on the pile of sand.Fury gradually welled within him."M-Mr. Campbell…"The hook-nosed man rubbed his palms together as he put on a pleasing smile.He walked toward Austin, saying, "I'm the vice manager of this construction site. My name is Magnus Pearson, and I'm Reginald Pearson's cousin—""Hah!"Austin sneered in disdain. He breezed right past Magnus, ignoring the dozens of men as he walked up to Aldus and Raquel.After crouching down, he didn't ask them what exactly happened.Instead, he looked exasperatedly at Aldus, who was covered in blood and injuries.He complained, "Look at you. You'
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
