"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
Austin was exhausted, and he slept very soundly.The next morning, when Dahlia brought Austin's breakfast up to his room, she finally woke him up.Austin smiled when he saw the breakfast before him. "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Why are you bringing me breakfast to my bed?"Smiling, Dahlia said, "You'll always be a child to me."Austin chuckled. Then, he began to eat his breakfast.After the meal, Austin got out of bed and washed up. Then, he went downstairs.Ezra and Aldus were watching the morning news in the living room.When Ezra saw Austin, he waved his hand and smiled in amusement. "Sir, come and look at this piece of news. It's quite something."Austin went over to them curiously. When he saw the news, he froze for a moment. "Jacob has also acquired a plot of land in the west city?""Interesting, isn't it?" Ezra's smile was odd.Austin shook his head. "That old fox is being careful."Aldus asked in confusion, "Sir, Mr. Lockwood, what does this mean?"Ezra explained
The female reporter felt a little awkward as she asked, "It's a first for large-scale home refunds in this city, and it may cause Dominion to go bankrupt. What are your opinions on this matter?"The man sneered. "What does Dominion's bankruptcy have to do with me? They can die all they want, but I'll survive. I don't care as long as I can get my money back!"Just then, someone ahead in the line shouted, "The doors are opening!"In an instant, the neat line dispersed, forming a heavy crowd that rushed toward the sales center.The reporter tried to continue the interview with the man, but the man cruelly shoved the reporter away."Get lost, you annoying flies! I have a refund to claim. Don't get in my way!"The reporter staggered and fell onto the ground. She scraped her arm, and it started to bleed.The other people around her tried to squeeze their way into the sales center as they reprimanded the reporter."Come on, stop getting in the way, brat. Step aside. Clear the way!""
The night went by in silence.Early the next morning, once again, long lines were formed outside the four sales centers under Dominion.The media, who were waiting early on, had already set up their cameras and microphones.Dominion's refunding crisis had attracted the attention of everyone in the city.This was huge news that no one would want to miss out on!In the Hydra Gardens sales center, the group of Dominion employees gazed at the long line outside in despair.They could even foresee that the homebuyers for the remaining 30% of the houses would be getting refunds today as well.When they recalled how the listings in Hydra Gardens were sold out within a day, they couldn't help their dejection.After today, Dominion would return to its original state, and it might even fall into the deep abyss!"Hey, when are you guys opening the doors?"It wasn't working hours yet, but the people lining up were already urging the employees impatiently."You're all here already, so wha
