Matt lowered his head and began pondering.While the pre-sales for the three areas were underway, a black Mercedes G-Class slowly drove toward one of those areas. The car pulled up by the road near the area.A car window was lowered, and a middle-aged man poked his head out of the window. He had graying hair which was combed back, and there was an air of authority about him.He gazed at the crowd in front of the sales center.The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile and nod. "He's doing quite well in business, isn't he?""Dad, what are you saying? Austin made a mistake this time."In the car, an accusatory voice rang out. "The pre-sales last time blew the whole city up, and it was extremely popular. But this time, instead of making use of that momentum, Austin launched pre-sales for three areas at the same time."He's just greedy, isn't he? If the popularity from last time could be reenacted, Dominion will win the hearts of everyone in this city.""Oh, I watched that video b
After going home, Cecily spent a lot of effort to gradually calm down about what had happened last time.She had also understood Austin.But this time, she felt nervous about bringing her parents to meet Austin.Now, Austin had indeed achieved something, but it was nothing compared to her background.Cecily wasn't an ignorant princess. She knew how important it was to be married to someone of a similar status.If not, in the three years she spent on the other side of the ocean, her father wouldn't have asked her to go on blind dates with the sons of rich people, oil tycoons, and titans in various industries.However, because she only had eyes for Austin, she declined all the blind dates.But now, she was bringing her parents to meet her beloved. She didn't mind Austin's background, but what about her parents?Moreover, Austin had gotten a divorce before!In the eyes of the older generation, this was a thorn in the flesh and something they could never tolerate!If she suggeste
The real-time data of the pre-sales of the three areas kept up at a good pace. Judging by the sales pattern on the first day, the listings would probably be sold out within one week.This was the best result for Austin.He was able to gain profit in the shortest time possible without stealing the limelight.At 5:00 pm, Austin had already asked Matt to organize a celebration party for tonight.However, an invitation that was sent to his office desk completely ruined his plans.When Austin saw the words printed on the invitation, he frowned deeply. He was both elated and shocked.The words on the invitation read "Tetra Club".It was an invitation from Tetra Club, and also the qualification for him to enter!"Who sent this?" Austin looked at Wolf.Wolf shook his head. "A young man. He handed the invitation to me and asked me to pass it on to you, and he left right after that. He didn't say anything else."Austin laughed in exasperation.Indeed, this invitation was the real deal
In Bamboo Parlor, laughter and conversation broke the usual elegant silence of the place.Cecily sat upright in her chair, watching a little nervously as her father and his old friends chatted away.Other than prominent leaders, there were also famous artists and prestigious doctors.These people weren't only famous in the country, but they were also well-known internationally.Also, these people were Edward's close friends.Cecily wondered what would happen when Austin arrived later on."Samuel, in the many years I haven't seen you, you've made quite a name for yourself internationally as the director of Legacy Hospital!"The middle-aged man was full of smiles as he looked at a middle-aged man with silver hair. He couldn't help but sigh in amazement. "The medical magazines overseas often write articles about you.""Haha... Come on, stop flattering me. I've worked so hard that all my hair turned silver."Smiling, Samuel Lewis said, "Speaking of being known internationally, Der
"Don't worry, Edward. We'll help you assess that kid later." Timothy was in a position of high authority, and he had an intimidating air about him.At the side, Samuel and Derrick nodded in agreement."Don't worry, Edward. We've been friends for so many years. Since you've asked to come us here, we'll be sure to test that kid for real.""I'd like to see which capable young man in this city has managed to win your daughter's heart."Edward smiled and nodded toward the three in gratitude.Just then, Cecily walked into the hall with Austin, who looked extremely awkward.As soon as Timothy and Samuel saw Austin, they had shocked looks on their faces. They widened their eyes, and they felt nervous.They felt like their minds had exploded!This… was Edward's future son-in-law?Goodness!Despite their prestigious statuses, they were extremely shaken at that moment.Austin was such a prominent figure that they were even wondering who should be the ones getting tested instead.Timot
Derrick's words were a shock to everyone present.In an instant, the atmosphere in the main hall seemed to freeze.Edward's expression was a little cold.Cecily's mother also had an odd look on her face.Timothy and Samuel were shocked as well."Mr. Stephens, Austin won't give fake paintings as gifts." Cecily hastily defended Austin.This was Austin's first time meeting her parents.With her background, she knew that her parents wouldn't mind how much Austin's gifts would cost. But if the gift was fake, then it would be another matter altogether!It would mean that the gift wasn't sincere, and that was a very disrespectful thing to do!"That's right. Derrick, take a closer look at it. Don't spew nonsense." Samuel agreed with Cecily.He was aware of Austin's identity. How could someone like Austin possibly give fake gifts?Derrick must be mistaken!Timothy said, "Derrick, you only gave it a glance just now. You're definitely mistaken. You're a hot-headed man, and you can bar
As soon as Derrick said that, everyone in the main hall was stunned.They were very rich, but they didn't know much about collections.They weren't as knowledgeable in paintings as Derrick was. After all, Derrick was a master of paintings.If the painting indeed cost more than 20 million dollars, it would be too great a gift!Even Austin was startled for a moment. Ezra was simply too generous. Austin couldn't believe that the gift Ezra had handed to him to give to others would be worth more than 20 million dollars!He immediately smiled. "Mr. Stephens, even though I'm not as successful as you and the others are, I can still afford to give a gift worth 20 million.""You're young, but you're quite outspoken!"Derrick frowned. At that moment, there was a ferocious expression on his reserved features.Cecily's gaze flickered. When she thought of Austin's background, 20 million dollars was indeed a piece of cake.She was about to speak up and defend Austin when Derrick suddenly sne
As soon as Edward said that, time seemed to be frozen in the main hall.Timothy and Samuel had looks of terror on their faces. Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.Derrick looked arrogant as he glared at Austin in disdain.Cecily felt her vision turning black. She couldn't help but shudder.Her parents were pissed, and Austin's first meeting with her parents was completely ruined!What would happen between her and Austin in the future?Cecily was hesitant as she slowly said, "Austin…"She had just spoken up when Austin suddenly smiled. He had a radiant smile on his face.However, he was suppressing the intense emotions in his heart.Ezra was the one who gave Austin the painting, and Austin was very sure that Ezra wouldn't try to deceive anyone with a fake painting.Even if this painting was meant for Timothy in the first place, it couldn't have been fake.Austin was more upset about Derrick's attitude. He only gave the painting a quick glance before claiming that the
