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
Derek frowned as he called out softly, "Did something happen, Nancy?"Before he finished speaking, Nancy suddenly let out a wail in the bathroom.Then, she started to sob in a heart-wrenching voice."It's all fake, everything is a lie! There won't be any luxury cars anymore! Mason was lying to me. He doesn't want me anymore."And so on.As Nancy wailed, she revealed the truth.On the other side of the door, Derek, Urma, and Harvey were shocked.How could that be?Weren't they doing just fine yesterday?How did things turn out like this overnight?"Nancy…" Harvey reacted right away. "Did you offend him? What should I do now that he's not going to buy me a car?"Urma instantly flew into a rage when she heard that.Harvey didn't sleep throughout the night, and neither did she.When she imagined the luxurious and extravagant life that awaited her, she was so overwhelmed that she couldn't suppress herself. She would look fabulous in front of her relatives and friends!Urma ban
In the afternoon, Austin was busy working in his office when Matt walked in."Austin, someone asked the security guards to relay a message. It's written on this slip."Taking the slip of paper, Austin opened it and read it. He immediately frowned.It was a very simple message."Let's meet at the café downstairs."What truly made Austin frown was the person who signed the message. It was Mason."Who is it, Austin?" When Matt saw the foul expression on Austin's face, he asked curiously.Tearing the paper into pieces, Austin tossed it into the trash can. "A nobody."With that, he got up and walked outside.Mason suddenly wanted to meet him. This couldn't have been a good thing.Mason must have some ulterior motives.However, Austin didn't intend to avoid Mason. They would have to fight each other eventually. It was a battle to the death.It happened to be lunchtime then, so the café downstairs was crowded.When Austin walked into the café, he immediately spotted Mason who was
Taking a deep breath, Austin suppressed the rage in his heart as he strode outside.Mason gazed at Austin, a confident smile finally appearing on his face as he mumbled softly, "I… thought that you'd never get angry."He snapped his fingers, calling a waitress to come over.Looking at the pretty waitress with a small frame, Mason pushed his glasses as he placed an orchid card on the tray the waitress was carrying.Then, he gestured for the waitress to come closer to him. He whispered in her ear, "Spend a night with me. I'll pay you a million dollars for that!"The waitress trembled, and her beautiful face instantly turned bright red.But she didn't say a thing as she looked at Mason fearfully."I can see that you're a virgin. If a million doesn't work, I'll give you two million." Mason leaned against his chair, his gaze filled with disdain. He was as arrogant as an emperor on the throne.The waitress's gaze flickered, and she clenched her fists tightly. She bit her lip."Three
In the following week, everything was calm and peaceful for Austin.The only trouble was something he had anticipated a long time ago.All the material suppliers in the city had joined hands to boycott Dominion once again.Last time, Jacob had stood up and helped Dominion through its crisis, but this time, Jacob was the one who led the boycott.In such a short time, Austin never once thought that the material suppliers would give up on the boycott.Fortunately, Yandell Corp was still supplying Dominion, so the west city slum redevelopment project wouldn't come to a halt.Austin didn't intend to shelve his plans to open three areas for pre-sales at the same time, either.Now, he needed funds to spark even bigger projects.Moreover, since Mason had already declared war, he got Jacob to threaten Austin right off the bat.If this dragged on, judging by the long construction period of the west city slum redevelopment project, Austin had no idea what else Mason would do with it.Me
The slap was clear and loud.Nancy's head was tilted to the side, and red marks surfaced on her pretty face."Mom, what are you doing?" Harvey was startled.Before he finished speaking, Nancy, who was holding him tightly, began to wail.Her sobs were ear-piercing and distraught.Urma felt annoyed by the sobs. Grabbing Nancy's hair, she began to hit Nancy viciously. She cursed while dealing blows, "Wretched girl! You're useless! You already have hysteria, and now you're trying to torture my son?"Let go! Let go of him right now! If you hurt Harv, I'll kill you right now! You useless trash, you despicable wench! Look what you turned our family into!"Heavy slaps echoed in the air.The ward was in total chaos.Harvey wanted to stop Urma, but because Nancy was holding tightly onto him, he didn't have the energy to stop Urma at all.Nancy shuddered under the blows, and she screamed and wailed.Suddenly…"Haven't you caused enough trouble? Let go of Nancy right now!"Derek got u
At Heavensgate Residence, an Audi A4 was speeding toward it.Then, it screeched to a halt at the main gate.Poking his head out, Harvey roared loudly, "I want to see Mason! Let me in!"The security guards exchanged glances.In this top-grade villa area, in their impressions, only the maids of the residents would drive Audi A4s to go grocery shopping.Faced with Harvey's shouts, one of the security guards said, "Sir, if you're not a resident in this area, or if you don't have an invitation from residents in this area, you're not allowed to enter."Harvey had expected that. Fury burned in his eyes.Mason had single-handedly destroyed his family!If he didn't step up at times like this, he wouldn't be a proper man!The Audi A4 let out a roar of its engines as if it were a real roaring beast.Then, as the tires screeched against the road and smoke billowed, with a thundering noise, the Audi rammed into the main gate like a wild beast.Harvey still remembered what his parents had
With a loud boom, the two cars collided with each other. The Audi A4 instantly came to a halt.Because of the fearsome force of the collision, the front of the car was completely distorted. Thick smoke rose out of it.Caught off guard, Harvey had his head rammed against the steering wheel. He injured his forehead, and it began to bleed.Almost at the same time, the security cars following Harvey drove up to the left and right of the Audi A4, surrounding the car from all sides."Drag him out! Drag him out at once!"A middle-aged security guard got out of the Audi A6. With a stern voice, he spat on the ground, saying, "Damn it, how dare you cause a ruckus here in Heavensgate Residence? Don't you know what's good for you?"A dozen security guards got out of the other cars, immediately surrounding the Audi A4.Opening the car door violently, they dragged Harvey out as if they were dragging a dead dog. Screaming, Harvey was dragged out onto the floor.Right after that, the security
