In just one day, Austin had gone through a roller coaster of events.No matter how strong Austin was, he was tired as well.He soon fell asleep in Wolf's car.When the car arrived at Heavensgate villa, Wolf woke Austin up.Austin went home.Dahlia was watching TV in the living room. When she saw Austin coming back, she walked up to him.Taking the jacket from Austin, she complained, "You're working too hard every single day. Can't you be a little nicer to yourself?""I was just busy at work." Smiling, Austin rubbed his tummy. "Mom, are there leftovers from the dinner Raquel made for you? I haven't had dinner.""No, but I can make some tomato pasta for you."Dahlia smiled as she said.Austin didn't stop her. Since young, his favorite food was the tomato pasta his mother made.Austin hadn't eaten it in a long time, not ever since Dahlia fell ill.Making tomato pasta wasn't too difficult, so it wouldn't worsen Dahlia's current condition.Still, Austin rolled up his sleeves an
Derek couldn't bear it any longer. He said in a low voice, "Have you had enough of crying? I tried to stop you, but you refused to listen to me. You just had to make a fuss!"Urma slapped Derek straight away."You useless jerk! I was so ashamed and suffered so much today, but you didn't even speak up for me!"Faced with Urma's reprimands, Derek could only sigh. He didn't dare to talk back.The more Derek backed off, the more Urma wanted to vent her anger.Just then, Harvey came back. His expression instantly shifted when he saw Urma crying."What happened, Mom?"When Urma saw Harvey, she sobbed even louder."Oh, Harv, you're finally back. Your dad and I were bullied…"Harvey felt like he was struck by lightning.In an instant, he flew into a rage. "Who? Who did it? I'll talk to them!"Urma felt more assured when she saw Harvey's reaction.Wailing loudly, she said, "Your dad and I went to Heavensgate Residence today…""Austin? That bastard! Mom, I'll talk to him right now!"
The next morning, after completing his basic physical training, Austin hurried to the company.Wolf was already waiting at the entrance of Dominion Properties.Austin told Matt to arrange a job for Wolf. As for the identity problem, Austin had to help Wolf with it.Wolf didn't mind which job he was assigned to. After all, his real goal was to follow Austin. The things he did definitely had nothing to do with real estate.After hesitating for a moment, Wolf asked Matt if he could join the security team.Matt thought for a moment. Then, he nodded in agreement.Still, Austin had personally recommended Wolf, so Matt gave Wolf a position as the security team leader.…Because of the popular pre-sales of Hydra Gardens, it would be a breeze when the other areas were opened for pre-sales later on.Hence, Austin was much less stressed.Now, he only had to do his job and slowly complete the pre-sales. The funds they had earned would be enough to push Dominion into the top rankings of t
"Wolf!"The other security guards immediately stepped forward to support Wolf.To the security guards, Wolf was the leader who appeared from nowhere. But they knew that Austin had personally recommended Wolf, so they didn't have any complaints.The punch instantly caused the atmosphere to turn tense.At the same time, the onlookers shouted in surprise as well."He's too arrogant. Does he think that he owns this place or something?""Hey, didn't you hear what he said? He's the brother-in-law of Dominion's Mr. Campbell, haha… Seriously?"Everyone knows about Mr. Campbell's divorce, and he even showed off his love for his new girlfriend during the Hydra Gardens pre-sales."The Welches' reputation is already ruined, but he's here to disgrace himself even more."Someone else said, "Right, I watched the news too. The Welches are so shameless! This guy is in his 20s, right? He's like one of those immature teenagers!"As Harvey listened to the discussions of the people around him, hi
Wolf and Matt returned to Austin's office. They told Austin how they dealt with the problem.When Austin heard that, he only gave a calm response before telling Wolf and Matt to leave.While Wolf was giving his report, Austin's phone rang with continuous notifications from WhatsApp.After Wolf and Matt left, Austin finally took his phone and navigated to WhatsApp.When he read the messages, his eyes widened, and his expression shifted.Fury boiled inside him.The messages Susie sent were like burning hot knives that stabbed his heart.He was furious!Austin slammed his palm on the office desk.The employees outside the office were startled when they heard the thunderous noise.What happened?The employees all thought of Austin as a calm and collected man.From when he became the vice president till he took over Dominion, he had never lost his cool like this!Even when he bought Dominion and was scammed by Brock so badly that everyone thought Dominion was going to go bankru
Austin said coldly, "You'll pay the price for this. It's too late for regrets now!"After ending the call, Austin called the bank right away.Since Susie wanted to attack his weak point, it was only natural that he responded in kind!Meanwhile, in a café near Yandell Corp, Susie tossed her phone onto the couch and lay face down on the table as she sobbed.She was crying so hard that the people around her looked at her curiously. But no one stepped forward.She thought, "Why? Why would you treat me like this? What did I do wrong?"She felt extremely miserable, and her body kept trembling as she cried."Is it so wrong to pursue what I want? There are tons of people like me out there, so why am I the only one who has to be in this situation? I've already given you my body, so why won't you appreciate it?"The string of questions and angry interrogations were slowly voiced out as Susie sobbed.When the people around her heard that, they pitied her. They shook their heads and sighe
In the evening, Austin received a call from Cecily to meet up at Skyhigh Dining.After ending the call, Austin made a few calls before setting out for the date.Still, he felt his heart wrench at the thought of the location Cecily had chosen to meet him.Skyhigh Dining was where they had made their relationship official.Since Cecily had chosen that place, Austin could guess her intentions.By the time Austin arrived at the ground floor of Skyhigh Dining, it was already 7:00 pm.Cecily's Porsche 911 was sitting quietly in the parking lot. By the looks of it, Cecily had arrived a long time ago.Taking a deep breath, Austin walked into the elevator.When the elevator doors opened, soft and relaxing music reached Austin's ears.The dim lights decorated the restaurant beautifully."Mr. Campbell?"The waiter at the entrance stepped forward.Austin nodded."Come with me. Ms. Graham has reserved the whole place tonight."Following the waiter into Skyhigh Dining, Austin spotted C
"I don't want you to misunderstand." Austin smiled bitterly.Cecily shook her head. Slightly raising her head, she looked at the ceiling. She took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I didn't misunderstand anything. What could I misunderstand about you?""Susie…" Austin didn't want to drag this out any longer.If things like this were dragged out, it would only make them worse."It's nothing. I'm fine, really."Cecily reached up and wiped the corners of her eyes. Smiling, she gestured at the food. "Come, let's eat. I ordered a lot of food, so you must try it all."Her behavior felt like a sharp blade that pierced Austin's heart ruthlessly.Austin's heart ached for her.Glancing at his watch, he felt that it was about time.Austin dialed Wolf's number. "Bring her here."After ending the call, Austin looked at Cecily earnestly. "Cecily, I never wronged you. I'll explain it properly."Tears instantly welled up in Cecily's eyes. "Please don't explain anything, alright? After t
