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. "The news of W
"Wirtucon has announced the shelving of its project. Without the massive Wirtucon, even if west city is redeveloped, it'll still be the same old west city."Reginald muttered, "It has fallen from grace. The housing prices in west city are sure to drop. Austin, Dominion is done for!"He had just finished speaking when the door to the office was opened.Reginald frowned, and a furious look appeared on his face.Who would be bold enough to enter his office without his permission?He was about to raise his head and shout at the intruder, but when he realized who the visitor was, he immediately suppressed his rage."Sorry for coming in without notice." Ezra took a seat.Austin had accepted the shares from Regal Properties, so even if he didn't control the company, he was the biggest shareholder of the company. No one dared to stop Ezra if he wanted to come in."Haha… not at all. Mr. Lockwood, you can come here whenever you want. You're very welcome here." Reginald smiled awkwardly.
The smell of sandalwood permeated the room.Edward sat upright as he silently waited.His gaze was a little dark.The door creaked open."You're finally here, Timothy." Getting up, Edward spoke.Timothy had a stern look on his face with hints of weariness. He slumped on the chair. Pouring out some tea, he downed it in one go.Then, he said slowly, "Forget it. Wirtucon has announced the shelving of its project, and west city is in chaos today. That powerful son-in-law of yours has had four sales centers ruined! I was hurrying to salvage the situation!""I wanted to talk to you about this too," Edward said.Timothy raised an eyebrow. "Go on."Edward hesitated for a moment before saying, "What's going on with that notion about Austin being powerful?""I can't tell you." Timothy shook his head, declining to answer.Edward grew anxious. "You and Samuel kept saying that he's really powerful, but now that this happened, Cecily is worried, and I am, too."When Timothy heard that, h
Risks and returns were always proportional to each other. When the housing prices were on the rise, Dominion would profit a lot. But as soon as the risk presented itself, Dominion would be destroyed.In his office, Austin silently gazed out the window.He had already heard from Ezra that Reginald would be buying two plots of land in west city. He knew that it wouldn't amount to much, but now, he would buy as much time as he could.The only thing he could do right now was to think of ways to delay the time when the west city would explode.The final results would still depend on the Campbell family. It was dependent on whether Walter or Dorothy won!This battle was an internal fight in the Campbell family.This was no longer something Austin could control.Even Austin had to gaze up at the sky called the Campbell family.And now, the sky was shifting!The only thing Austin could do was to hold out for as long as possible and wait for the winner to emerge!If Walter managed to
Wolf's expression shifted.In an instant, a ferocious light gleamed in his eyes as he strode toward the entrance."Stop!"Austin shouted in anger."Mr. Campbell…"Wolf turned around. He was about to explain, but when he met Austin's gaze, he immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.At that moment, Austin's face was covered in blood.However, he didn't reveal even the slightest bit of pain. His expression was cold, and the look in his eyes was oddly deep and calm.Even Wolf felt chills running down his spine when he saw that gaze.The sudden scene had also quieted the worked-up homebuyers at the entrance."Everyone, I didn't expect Wirtucon to shelve their plans to enter the city, either. Indeed, this incident will make waves in this city, and you'll also worry whether you'll lose your hard-earned money or not."Austin's voice was calm, but he tried to speak as loudly as he could, trying his best to make his voice sound clear enough for everyone to hear."As Domi
"Austin, are you really sure you want to do this?" Matt was the person closest to Austin in the company, so at that moment, he was the first to voice the question.As he asked, he even took some tissue to wipe the blood on Austin's face.Taking the tissue, Austin held it against the wound on his head. He smiled helplessly. "What I need now is time!"Time?The employees were all stunned.The elevator doors opened.Austin walked into the elevator.Before Matt and the others could get in, he pressed the floor button and closed the doors.In the narrow and closed-off space of the elevator, Austin leaned against the wall, feeling extremely tired."Is three days enough time for them to have a winner?"The fights in the Campbell family were beyond his capabilities.Even Mason and Taylor, who were heirs like him, couldn't intervene for sure!This was a matter of position!If three days wasn't enough time for Walter to defeat Dorothy, Austin could only resort to his last move.Tak
