They were all old friends and prominent figures in their own fields. So, of course, they had quite the temper.They would usually chat and laugh, but if they really start a fight with each other, no one would give in!Samuel's eyes were red as he shouted through gritted teeth, "You're a mule who can't appreciate kindness. Would I be afraid of you if we got into a fight? If I lose, I can just heal myself, but if you lose, you have to beg me to heal you!""You…" Derrick's face turned red as fury raged within him.In an instant, it felt like they were on the verge of a brawl.Edward had a shocked look on his face, and he couldn't understand what was going on.Why were his old friends suddenly fighting each other?Just then, Timothy stepped forward. He looked at Derrick with the same look of exasperation. "Derrick, you've made a real mistake this time. Samuel was right to have scolded you!""Timothy, why are you…"Derrick's expression froze, and he looked extremely bewildered.Bu

Derrick shuddered. There was a complicated expression on his face.He was a master of paintings, and he was quite influential in his field.He had his pride and dignity.Even when he was overseas, he was respected and admired by all.At his level, he rarely had to apologize anymore, let alone to someone younger than him.When Samuel saw Derrick standing there, unmoving, he was extremely furious. "You stubborn mule, are you doubting me or Timothy?"Timothy sighed. "Just go. It won't be embarrassing."Austin was the biological son of the head of the Campbell family, who would ignore the family rules for Austin's sake. Of course, he was qualified to receive a humble apology from a master of paintings.Derrick's gaze suddenly darkened.He could ignore Samuel's advice, but now, even Timothy was saying the same thing.No matter how stubborn he was, he knew then that something was off!Taking a deep breath, Derrick strode outside."Dad, Mom, I'll get Austin to come back!"Cecily

Rachel said angrily, "Are you going to just sit by and watch as Cecily gets caught in the middle? You're her dad, so why can't you care about your daughter at crucial times like this?""Alright." Edward sighed, half-agreeing to it. He said slowly, "But if we spend a few more days here, we'll have to delay our meeting with the Campbells again."When he said that, his expression was filled with exasperation."I know that you want to borrow the influence of the Campbells so that you can achieve greater things. I agree with you, and I support you wholeheartedly."Rachel's voice was gentle, and her gaze was filled with tenderness. "But Edward, Cecily is our only daughter. You've already achieved many things other people can only dream of. It'll be fine as long as we have enough money to spare. Cecily's happiness is our biggest goal right now!""But…" Edward tried to argue."I don't want Cecily to miss a wonderful relationship just because of our mistakes. Setting aside Austin's backgr

After returning to Heavensgate Residence, Austin received two calls, one after the other. The calls were from Samuel and Timothy respectively.The two were old friends of Derrick's, and they knew that if Austin wanted to hold Derrick accountable for what happened tonight, he would definitely ruin the rest of Derrick's life. So, they wanted to ask Austin to go easy on Derrick.After Austin expressed clearly that he wouldn't hold it against Derrick, the two finally relaxed a little.Finally, things calmed down after Austin hung up.Austin lay on the bed, feeling a little sad.If it weren't because of his identity as a son of the Campbells, the real painting just now might actually become a fake because of Derrick's claims. Austin wouldn't be able to change his mind.Austin hated that backgrounds carried so much meaning, but he was also helpless to do anything about it.If Derrick was aware of Austin's identity from the start, if Austin brought a fake painting over, Derrick would p

Aldus' anxious and worried voice rang in Austin's ears, immediately pulling Austin back to reality."Alright, got it."Suppressing his rage with all his might, Austin ended the call with Matt.Austin gripped his phone tightly with his right hand, refusing to lower it. His joints made cracking sounds, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.Waves of fury raged in his eyes.Even Aldus felt intimidated when he saw Austin's calm fury."The last revenge, huh? They pulled the rug just like that!" Austin spoke through gritted teeth. He was smiling despite his anger.After the momentary shock and anger, Austin soon realized what was going on.Wirtucon was a company under the Campbells. Back then, it was Ezra who had arranged for the news to be announced so that the tables would be turned for the west city redevelopment project. He had taken advantage of Wirtucon's large scale to increase the housing prices in the west city.It wasn't an exaggeration to claim that as long as Wir

Dahlia looked at the silent Ezra.Even though Ezra didn't reply, his expression had given Dahlia her answer.Dahlia's eyes reddened a little.She had seen how hard her son worked in the past few years.Austin started out as a fresh graduate and worked hard enough that he became the vice president in three years. It was proof enough of his capabilities.If Austin had seen the light but had to return to the darkness, even as Austin's mother, Dahlia didn't dare to imagine how much this would hurt Austin.As Austin's mother, of course, she cared about him a lot.In her panic, Dahlia suddenly came up with a bold idea.She said in a low voice, "Mr. Lockwood, I'd like to return to the Campbell family!""You shouldn't, Madam Emerson!" Ezra's expression shifted.If Dahlia returned to the Campbell family at that moment, it would definitely make things worse.Ezra hastily explained, "Madam Emerson, did you forget about what happened back then?"Dahlia froze. Then, she lifted her hand

After all, the locals never liked west city.Back then, everyone was fired up when they heard that Wirtucon was entering the city.But now, after everyone had calmed down, what would they think of the west city?Just then, two figures appeared at the entrance of the company.A calm voice rang out at the same time."It's still so early in the morning. Have you all completed your work?"In an instant, everyone turned their gazes to Austin."Austin, you're finally here!"Matt hastily went up to Austin.Austin glared at Matt. "Why are you all gathered here this early in the morning? There's still work left to do for the pre-sales of the three areas in west city. Get to it!"His voice was cold, and his attitude wasn't as gentle as before.Matt was stunned by that. Still, he turned around and instructed the employees to get back to work.When the employees returned to their posts, they stole glances at Austin.They were puzzled when they saw Austin walking calmly into his office

The door of the office was violently shoved open.Austin, who was already anxious enough, instantly frowned. He had an angry look on his face.Rushing in, Matt said in a low voice, "Bad news, Austin. The homebuyers are wrecking the four sales centers!"Austin's eyes widened in shock.The kill… had begun!"Shall I go and handle it?" At the side, Aldus frowned as he spoke."This has nothing to do with them. They're just worked up. After all, if the housing prices in west city dropped, they'd be victims too."Austin wearily rubbed his throbbing temples.Back then, he was the one who forced the housing prices in west city to go up. If the prices stayed the same, he wouldn't feel guilty about it.But if the prices dropped, Dominion wouldn't be the only party to suffer losses. The homebuyers would be victims too.Austin looked up at Matt. "Head there with the others and appease the homebuyers. Pause the pre-sales for the three areas too.""Austin…" Matt was anxious.
