"An Audi?"Mason frowned as his gaze darkened a little. "How much was it?"Harvey felt his heart skip a beat when he saw that. He wondered if he had said anything wrong.Still, he replied, "More than 300 thousand, I think."Derek and Urma were puzzled as well.But Urma reacted quickly. She gave Harvey a fierce punch on the arm. "What nonsense are you saying?"Harvey was bewildered.Nancy hurriedly tried to explain to Mason.She didn't know what went wrong for Mason to have such an expression on his face.But since Mason put on that look, Harvey must have said something he shouldn't!However, before Nancy could say anything, Mason suddenly smiled and said, "Harv, you're Nancy's brother. We'll be family in the future, so you're my brother too."Driving a car worth 300 thousand dollars must be tough for you. Come with me tomorrow, and we'll go get a new car. Don't even consider any cars priced less than a million."The whole Welch family was shocked.A million?Harvey didn't

In the dark night, the Lamborghini sped along the road like a streak of yellow lightning.Nancy was happy. She felt relaxed as if she was enjoying the spring breeze.Mason's appearance had helped her rediscover the feeling of home.She had finally woken up from the nightmare that lasted for months.Nancy even thought that Mason's appearance was compensation for those few months of suffering. She thought that the heavens had given her Mason in exchange for her suffering.After all… After going through pain and suffering, she would see the rainbow of hope."Mason, I love you."Nancy spoke earnestly in a gentle tone.In the car, Mason kept his gaze forward as he replied, "I love you too.""I'm yours tonight.""You'll always be mine."Thanks to the sweet nothings, Nancy's pretty face turned red. She grew haughty.However, she didn't notice that although the corners of Mason's lips were turning up, his dreamy eyes had a cold look in them.He was one of the elites of the Campbel

"Aldus…" Ezra didn't indulge in the beer. He knew that Aldus shouldn't have asked that question, so he spoke up to remind Aldus.But Austin lifted a hand and stopped Ezra.He didn't mind these things, and he knew that Aldus would ask that question.Seeing that Aldus nodded in reply to Austin's question.Austin smiled. "A foolish woman was used as a tool, but she thought that it was fate. I'm just a spectator, so why wouldn't I be calm?"Ezra frowned.Aldus was confused. "Then what were you mad about?"Raising his head, Austin downed some beer and chuckled. "I was mad for being so blind that I fell for the wrong person, and I was mad at Mason for his cruelty."Aldus and Ezra exchanged glances.Was that… really the case?However, when Ezra looked away, a cold look appeared in his eyes. He frowned deeply.Both Austin and Aldus noticed the changes in his expression.They were both puzzled.Austin had his back to the scene, so when he was turning around, Aldus had already looke

Right after that, rare fury took over Mason's eyes under his glasses.Nancy pulled her red lips away from Mason, feeling extremely mad.The night breeze was a little cold, but it couldn't cool down their raging anger.However, by the time Nancy glared at the balcony opposite theirs, Austin, Ezra, and Aldus had already left.Nancy's red lips quivered, and embarrassment flooded over her.It shouldn't be like this!Why did it turn out like this?She had pictured countless scenes of Austin getting mad from embarrassment, but she didn't expect Austin to be so calm that he only spoke those words!Because of the disdain and disgust in his tone, she became the person who got mad from embarrassment instead!"Go downstairs first."Mason's voice was cold as he gazed at the balcony opposite theirs.Nancy was stunned for a moment, but she didn't object. Nodding, she obediently went downstairs.Austin's words just now were like a thorn in her heart. No matter how much she longed for thri

"What rule is it?" Austin asked."The descendants of the Campbell family must not harm their clan. If not, they will be driven out of the Campbell family and have their name removed from the family tree. Even if they are one of the heirs, they will lose that right as well."The punishment was quite heavy."Why didn't I know of this, Mr. Lockwood?" Aldus was shocked.Ezra glared sideways at him. "We are both household staff, so we don't have the right to know the family rules. If I hadn't followed the head back then and learned his ways, I wouldn't have the right to know!"It was a family rule that concerned the family members and even the candidature of the heir.Indeed, normal household staff wouldn't have the right to know these things.Austin frowned when he heard Ezra's words. He was confused.If this rule existed, then Mason would have a reason to provoke Austin by making use of Nancy.But he was confused because he had done the same thing before!"Mr. Lockwood, I broke

Ezra and Aldus felt bad when they heard the deep exasperation in Austin's voice.Origins were like icebergs on the ocean.They might look small and insignificant, but they had massive sides hidden under the surface of the sea."Yes, we indeed cannot harm him straightforwardly."Austin suddenly smiled.Ezra and Aldus were shocked by that.However, Austin returned to his room without an explanation."Mr. Lockwood, does that mean that he has a plan?" Aldus asked.Ezra had a smile on his lips as he nodded. Smiling, he said, "The more I look at him, the more I feel that he's quite similar to Mr. Walter back then."The night passed.When the morning sun graced the land with its presence once more, Mason's villa was filled with cold heartlessness instead.Mason tossed the clothes onto Nancy, who was still fast asleep. "Get lost."After what happened last night, the two weren't in the mood to continue. Even when Nancy wanted to share a bed with him, Mason declined.They had slept

"Hah!"Mason scoffed. Leaning in, he lowered his head and stared coldly at Nancy. "I just spent a few million dollars to play with you. To me, that money is like loose change. Money means nothing more than just numbers to me."With that, he kicked at Nancy's shoulder. "If this is love, what about this other woman I've spent tens of millions of dollars on? Is she going to end her own life in front of me?"Nancy was stunned.She slumped to the floor, her face filled with tears.He had spent a few million dollars just to toy with her?Was that all it was?Seeing that Mason was about to turn and leave, Nancy suddenly had a thought in her mind. She was like a dying person who found their last lifeline.Yes, death!If she threatened to die, she would be able to get Mason back!At that thought, Nancy turned around and rushed to the bed in a frenzy. Picking up the exquisite porcelain cup, she smashed it on the floor. Then, she grabbed a broken shard and held it against her throat."

Nancy dejectedly returned to the Welch residence.At that moment, she was like a peacock that had lost its feathers. Her dreams were shattered, and she was even worse off than when she had started.The door opened.Her parents' elated smiles greeted her, and she also spotted Harvey, who was all dressed up in his spotless suit and leather shoes."Come on, Nancy. Let's go and buy a car with Mason." Taking Nancy's hand, Harvey spoke in excitement.He hadn't slept a wink last night, for his mind was filled with Mason's words."Don't even consider any cars priced less than a million!"Harvey didn't even dare to dream of driving a car that cost millions. But then, when his future brother-in-law appeared, he finally had that chance.After tossing and turning all night, Harvey finally settled on a few models he wanted to check out.Every time he thought of driving a car that cost millions, his heart pounded in excitement.As for his Audi, he had decided to give it to his dad."By th

Austin never expected that Nancy would come back.As he returned to the Tetra Club, he remained sullen, his eyes dark with unresolved anger.Seeing Austin like this, Cecily felt a pang of sadness.She gently tried to comfort him, "It's all in the past now, isn't it? I'm here with you, and we have our baby on the way.""I can't just let it go," Austin shook his head."The best I can do is not seek revenge against them, but to truly forgive and forget—I can't do that."The actions of Nancy's family were still fresh in his memory.Austin wasn't someone who sought revenge for every slight, but he was far from the kind of person who could simply forgive and forget, moving on with a carefree "Hallelujah."Dahlia's despair as she lay in bed, the arrogance and cruelty of the Welch family…In the eyes of the Welch family, Dahlia's life wasn't worth as much as Harvey's wedding.Even when the time had passed and he was about to finally be happy with Cecily, the Welch family not only dem

After leaving this city, Nancy put in a tremendous amount of effort to "rebirth" herself.Meeting Ethan had shown her a different side of life.While he wasn't part of the uppermost echelons of wealth and power, he had enough. Most importantly, he treated her with the utmost respect.She understood Ethan's background, which made that respect all the more valuable.A man of his stature could have any woman he wanted in his bed the same night.Yet Ethan had shown her incredible patience, making her question whether the rumors about him were true.Tonight, returning to this city was her way of bidding farewell to the past and embracing the future.After all, people need to look forward, don't they?Meanwhile, Ethan was feeling more dejected than he'd ever been.Lying in his luxurious bed in Brook Villa, he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning restlessly.He had hoped to establish a connection with Austin. A figure like him would be incredibly valuable to have on his side.He tho

The river breeze was cool, and the lights reflected on the water flickered softly.The figure in front of them wore a long black coat, standing quietly by the railing. Her fair, delicate profile, partially obscured by a few strands of windblown hair, carried a hint of melancholy."Sir, Mrs. Campbell, is something wrong?" Aldus noticed the change and quickly stepped forward to inquire."Let's go home," Austin suddenly said, his previously cheerful expression now somber, with a touch of disdain.Go home? They had just arrived.Aldus was surprised and quickly followed Austin's gaze. When he saw what Austin was looking at, he immediately understood.Without a word, he turned to leave with Austin.But a soft hand gently grabbed Austin's arm."It's been so many years, aren't you going to say hello?" Cecily asked."I have no desire to greet her," Austin said, his disdain clear and unhidden.Three years of marriage, filled with nothing but pain.Even when Dahlia was gravely ill, Nan

After a busy day, just as Austin was about to finish up, a new invitation appeared on his desk."Who delivered this?" Austin asked."Ethan," Wolf replied.Austin chuckled, didn't bother opening the invitation, and instead tossed it directly into the trash."I've got to get home to Cecily."When he returned to the Bamboo Parlor at Tetra Club, Raquel had already prepared a delicious dinner.The dishes were beautifully presented, with vibrant colors and enticing aromas.After dinner, Austin and Ezra stepped out into the courtyard."Mr. Lockwood, any news from the Campbells about my dad?" Austin asked, the text message from Walter still weighing heavily on his mind.Considering the Campbells' efforts to find Walter, and given their intelligence resources, they should have been some leads by now.But Ezra shook his head. "Nothing, Not a trace.""The Campbells' intelligence network has never been this weak, has it?" Austin frowned, speaking in a low tone.Ezra gave a wry smile. "

"Childhood?"Austin stopped his workout, wiped the sweat from his face, and smiled bitterly.His childhood had been bleak.Only Dahlia had brought some light into the darkness.Seeing Austin's pained smile, Aldus immediately realized his mistake.He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Sir. I spoke without thinking. You don't need to answer that.""It's fine," Austin replied, gesturing towards a nearby bench, and inviting Aldus to sit with him.Once they were seated, Austin slowly began to speak. "There's not much to tell about my childhood. It was mostly just being called an 'illegitimate child' and living day to day, never knowing where my next meal would come from."If it weren't for my mom fighting tooth and nail to raise me, I'd probably be dead by now."With just a few simple words, he conveyed a world of suffering.Aldus felt a wave of guilt. He had only been trying to find clues from Austin's past that might explain his exceptional combat instincts and incredible physical

Austin's gaze softened as warmth flooded his heart.Who hasn't longed for a light left on just for them in a sea of lights? But in reality, how many actually have that?Cecily did that for him.Given her background, the fact that she went to such lengths truly surprised Austin.In the three years he spent in the past, he had never experienced something like this.His nose tingled with emotion as he pulled Cecily into his arms, speaking softly, "Thank you. Marrying you is the greatest fortune of my life.""Alright, alright, I asked Raquel to prepare breakfast earlier this morning. You go to the dining room, and I'll have her bring it over," Cecily said as she gently slipped out of Austin's embrace, her graceful smile lighting up her eyes."Doesn't Bamboo Parlor have a kitchen?" Austin asked, curious.Cecily gave him a playful look. "The chairs in the living room are so hard, and you spent the whole night on one—how could you have slept well? If Raquel had been clattering around

The room fell into a heavy silence."Deactivating the phone number… was Dad trying to prevent me from tracking his location?" Austin murmured with a frown.Ezra pondered for a moment, his voice low and serious. "Perhaps he was more concerned about someone else tracking him."Austin's eyes widened in realization.Of course—if Walter could send him a message to let him know he was safe, he wouldn't be worried about Austin tracking himDeactivating the phone was likely to prevent others from tracing his location."But who is he trying to avoid?"Ezra shook his head, remaining silent.Having followed Walter for many years, he knew the man's temperament and habits. But this time, he was truly baffled.He couldn't even begin to piece together a clue.Taking a deep breath, Ezra forced a bitter smile. "I'm afraid I'm at a loss this time, sir. There's no sign of anything unusual from the Campbells either."This statement only deepened Austin's confusion.If there were anyone who cou

Austin knocked softly on the door.Almost immediately, he heard the sound of shuffling from inside.Ezra opened the door, his face full of curiosity. "Sir, what's going on?"Austin quickly made a shushing gesture, worried about disturbing Cecily.Then he gently pushed Ezra back into the room."Sorry to bother you so late, Mr. Lockwood," Austin said.Ezra smiled. "It's no trouble at all. The older you get, the less you need. I was just reading."Austin glanced at the book on Ezra's bedside table and couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.This old rascal!Ezra blushed and quickly shoved the book under his pillow.Austin sat on the bed and pulled up the text message from Walter, showing it to Ezra."I just received this message."When Ezra read the text, his eyes lit up with a sharp gleam, and he was overjoyed. "This is from Mr. Walter!"Austin nodded, his expression serious. "But I've sent several messages back, and there's been no reply. I called twice—once it was immedi

But if he refused to lower his head, he would end up a dead man.He understood the situation perfectly.In fact, that very night, a message was released from Brook Villa.No one is to compete for the land!This is a clear warning to all real estate companies in Eastbrook. It was also a gesture of goodwill toward Austin.But Austin didn't pay it much mind.If not for Derrick's involvement, he had no idea how Ethan would have responded—but Austin knew his response would have been much tougher.A mere city's underground king?
