Winner Takes All Chapter 219
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

Everyone instantly turned to look when they heard the cold and angry voice.With Raquel supporting her, Dahlia looked furious, and she was even trembling a little.Ezra and Aldus stood behind her.They saw what had happened outside, but Dahlia had decided not to interfere in this business.Austin and Nancy were already divorced, so they had nothing to do with each other anymore.After all, Harvey was looking for Mason, not Austin.However, when Mason said those words, he was clearly pushing the blame on Austin. He wanted to blame Austin for something that Austin never even had a part in.As Austin's mother, Dahlia couldn't just sit by and watch as her son was slandered!Moreover, Dahlia was well aware of the Welches' attitude and way of doing things.If Austin truly were to take the blame for this, the Welches would pester Austin forever.Minor annoyances were the worst to deal with. Dahlia felt bad for Austin, who already had a bad enough time as it was, so she would never l

Dahlia's expression turned extremely foul. Fury burned within her, and she was overwhelmed by her sullen emotions.How could Harvey be so stupid?"Madam Emerson, please take care of your health. Don't be mad. Please calm down…"Raquel was constantly watching the changes in Dahlia's appearance. She was so anxious that her heart raced. Then, she shouted at Aldus, "Aldus, Madam Emerson cannot handle strong emotions right now!"She had just finished speaking when Harvey had already dashed up to them.Aldus stepped to the side. Then, lifting a leg, he kicked at Harvey, sending the latter flying.Unable to defend himself, Harvey was sent flying three yards away. After crashing to the ground, his face turned pale. Blood spurted out of his mouth.When the dozen security guards saw that, they inhaled sharply. They felt chills running down their spines."How dare a nobody like you get close to Madam Emerson?"Aldus' voice was deep. "Sir is a kind man, and he doesn't hold the Welches acc

When Dahlia fainted, Austin was having a meeting at work.After Austin received the call from Ezra, he slammed his palm on the desk.He had also shattered the teacup on the desk. The shards pierced Austin's palm, and blood oozed out.Everyone was startled into silence when they saw that.The whole meeting room was terrifyingly quiet.At that moment, Austin looked like a frenzied lion. Even his eyes had turned red."Matt, take over the meeting. I have to leave. Something urgent popped up."Austin turned around and left.Matt was shocked. "Austin, this concerns the pre-sales. Three areas will be open for pre-sales at the beginning of the month. I-I'm worried that I can't handle it!""Do it even if you can't!"Austin's voice rang out from the corridor outside the meeting room. It was filled with anger.He could earn back the money he lost, but now that his mother was ill, it was a real disaster!…After arriving at Legacy Hospital, Austin got out of the car and hurried inside

"What did he say?" Austin asked, narrowing his eyes.He was exuding a chilly air. Even Ezra and Aldus felt the temperature getting lower."He said that Madam Emerson's life was despicable, and she had given birth to a mutt!" Ezra replied."Hah!"The corners of Austin's mouth turned up. He couldn't control his fury any longer. But when he smiled, his expression turned unusually calm.Both Ezra and Aldus were stunned when they saw that.Right after that, Austin slowly spoke some words."Aldus, come with me!"Ezra and Aldus felt like they were struck by thunder."Sir, please don't act recklessly. He's trying to provoke you so that you would break the family rules!" Ezra hastily grabbed Austin.But Austin violently shook off Ezra's hand. "He was the reason my mom is hospitalized right now, and you're telling me to be calm about it? If this is a joke, it's not funny at all!"Mere family rules and heirs are nothing compared to my mother!"I can endure it if he targets me, but he

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.

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
