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
To Matt's surprise, Austin was seated in front of his computer just like he had been yesterday. He gazed at the real-time data feedback, emotionless and calm."Austin…" Matt called out in a low voice. "You can confide in me. It's bad for your health if you shoulder everything alone."Obviously, Matt didn't think that things were the same for Austin as it used to be. In the past, Austin already had a plan in mind, so he behaved very calmly.But now, Austin was behaving like this just to reassure his employees, and he suppressed everything alone."We only have 10% left."Pointing at the screen, Austin smiled bitterly.Matt said in determination, "It's alright, Austin. If push comes to shove, we can just start over. I'll follow you wherever you go!""What nonsense are you saying?" Raising an eyebrow, Austin pointed at the chair beside him. "Sit there and play on your phone or something."Matt was bewildered.He wondered if Austin had suppressed his feelings so much that even his
Cecily Enterprises was a huge international company.It also dealt with international trade and major infrastructure projects.But Austin never expected Cecily's dad to be the chairman of Cecily Enterprises!Also, he didn't think that Edward had decided to invest out of nostalgia like the news had claimed.Edward had kept Yandell Corp around, which was already a nice enough gesture toward his hometown.If Edward truly intended to invest in this city, with how huge Cecily Enterprises was, he would have done it a long time ago.Also, there were many better plots of land in this city. With the scale of Cecily Enterprises, if they wanted to invest, they could've gotten any of those lands in this city.Why would they settle in west city, which was just beginning its redevelopment?They were clearly trying to support Dominion on purpose!They did what Wirtucon couldn't do.Also, Cecily Enterprises could definitely raise the west city's value."Safe! We're safe now!"Unable to rei
At that moment, Reginald suddenly understood what Ezra had said during his last visit.He waved, gesturing for his assistant to leave.Reginald rubbed his face, smiling bitterly in sorrow as he mumbled, "We rise and fall together. I really am bound to Austin, huh… Life is so unpredictable."Meanwhile, in another huge office, Jacob stared at the computer screen with a grave look on his face, unmoving.But his wavering gaze had betrayed the fluctuating emotions in his heart.The news of Cecily Enterprises entering the west city was displayed on the screen.With his keen senses, of course, he knew what this meant.A while later, Jacob picked up a cigar and slowly lit it. After taking a puff, he felt that the smoke in his mouth was too bitter.He lowered his cigar, mumbling in a low voice, "Wirtucon was gone, but Cecily Enterprises came in instead. It's like a deity has appeared in our midst. Austin, you have the Campbells, and now, Cecily Enterprises backing you… How many guardian
When Austin went home, there was a happy atmosphere in the house.Everyone had smiles on their faces.Raquel and Dahlia had prepared a table full of delicacies and wine. They obviously wanted to celebrate."You guys knew?"Austin had hurried back because he wanted to draft Dominion's plans for the future, and he also wanted to tell his family the good news."The whole city is talking about it. Of course, we already know."Smiling, Dahlia said, "Austin, you're so lucky to have survived the most dangerous situation. Come on, don't just stand there. Go and wash your hands.""That's right, sir. Madam Emerson and Raquel have worked hard all afternoon," Aldus echoed.Austin had just had dinner, but faced with his family's joy, he didn't decline. He smilingly walked into the kitchen. After washing his hands, he joined his happy family at the table.Ezra raised his glass, smiling as he said, "A toast to celebrate this double fortune!"Everyone was about to clink glasses when Austin r
"Sir, what's the connection between you and Cecily Enterprises?" Ezra suddenly asked.Normal people might not know about this, but he was very well aware.A huge international company suddenly announced that it would be investing in this city just because of its chairman's nostalgia?That was pure nonsense!Cecily Enterprises was clearly doing it to help Dominion!Austin chuckled, saying in his drunken stupor, "It's so nice… to depend on my girlfriend.""Cecily?" Ezra was shocked. Then, he smiled and shook his head. "Ah, what a mistake… I never thought that this woman would come from such a prominent background!"…While Austin and the others were enjoying the breeze on the balcony, as the evening news ended, the whole city was taken by storm once again.It was like a huge earthquake that spanned the whole city!Everyone was stunned.No one had expected Wirtucon to change its mind after shelving the project and re-enter west city.What exactly was this huge company playing
"Urma, let go of Nancy right now!"Furious, Derek tossed his cigarette away and dashed into the bathroom.Then, he slapped Urma across the face, shouting angrily, "Look what the family has turned into! It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't have turned out like this. Nancy is already pitiful enough, but as her mother, how could you still bear to hit her?"Urma and Harvey were shocked by the sudden scene.Derek had always been a timid and meek guy who would hold back."What are you shouting at me for?" Urma was stunned for a moment. Then, she covered her face and suddenly wailed."Stop crying! I swear I'll kill you!" Derek raised his hand to hit Urma, startling the latter so much that she shrunk away.Noticing that something was off, Harvey hastily said, "Dad, why did you hit Mom?""She's going to beat your sister to death. How can I not step in?"With reddened eyes, Derek turned around and glared at Harvey.Harvey gulped. Then, he hastily dragged
"As expected of Austin!" Matt thought. "He planned every step well, and he's always so confident!"At that moment, Matt's impression of Austin rose tremendously. Austin seemed quite glorious and majestic to him.He didn't wonder why Austin would have connections to Wirtucon and Cecily Enterprises. As an employee, this wasn't something he should think about. His thoughts were solely focused on his determination to follow Austin without fail!When Austin arrived at the company, he smiled when he saw the joyous looks on the employees' faces.The sound of clapping attracted everyone's attention."Mr. Campbell!"The employees shouted in unison.Raising an eyebrow, Austin smiled. "You know what happened yesterday, right? Let's start working and do our jobs!"The employees laughed. Then, they enthusiastically started working.Meanwhile, after a night of thinking about the news, everyone in the city was almost losing their minds.They were even crazier than when Wirtucon first announ
