"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

After Austin received the call from Nancy, he couldn't focus on work at all. He kept zoning out a little.He didn't even know how he left the company building.By the time he came to his senses, he was already standing outside Blue Fairy Dining.It was a familiar sight, but so many things had changed now.He put on a faint and bitter smile.Austin walked into the restaurant. He could spot Nancy sitting in a corner by the window right away.There was a slight breeze, and the sun was warm. Everything was just right.Nancy was wearing a long white dress as she sat there quietly. Her long hair was draped across her shoulders, and she looked quiet and calm."You're here."Nancy smiled when she saw Austin.Austin nodded. After taking his seat, he asked calmly, "What's the matter?""I'll be moving away today."Nancy stretched. Then, she smiled. "I'm leaving this city. There are too many sad memories here.""That's not a bad idea. You can change your lifestyle when you move away,"

Tonight, Austin had organized a grand dinner to thank Edward for saving his life.The recent crisis Dominion was in was so dire that the company was almost destroyed.Walter defeated Dorothy in the end and allowed Wirtucon Corporations to enter this city once again.Still, Edward had helped Austin out when he was at his wit's end and about to die. Austin had to express gratitude for that.He would doubly repay the kindness that was shown to him.Much less could be said of kindness that had saved his life!However, Ezra smiled and said with a knowing look in his eyes, "Still, if you really intend to ask for her hand in marriage, sir, I can help you prepare a grand gift. Also, I'm very sure that this gift will please the Grahams greatly.""What is that?" Austin asked, puzzled.Ezra smiled an ambiguous smile. Then, he turned and said to Aldus, "Come on, Aldus, start the car. It seems that sir already has the intention to ask the Grahams for Cecily's hand in marriage."Austin blus

When Austin walked into the main hall, he saw Cecily and the others standing there, waiting for him.Cecily smiled and walked up to him. Holding Austin's arm, she said, "Silly Austin, you're late. My dad and the others are waiting."She seemed to be complaining, but she knew very well that Dominion had just survived a major crisis, and it was when Austin's work would be at its heaviest.When she said that, she was helping Austin maintain his reputation.Austin smiled apologetically at Edward and the others. "Sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Graham, Mr. Newman, and Mr. Stephens. There were too many matters to attend to at the company, so I came late.""It's alright. Since we're all here, let's have a seat."Edward smiled casually. Then, he gave Timothy a doubtful look.Just now, Timothy had rushed to the main hall to welcome Austin. That was why the others had followed him there.After some chatting, when Timothy saw Edward asking them to take their seats, he walked up to Austin and smiled.

A moment later, Derrick dashed up to the boxes first. He trembled as he picked up a small box on top of the others.The item inside was none other than the original manuscript of "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening".After examining it for a while, Derrick shivered even more. He said breathlessly, "It really is that manuscript that was sold for 300 million dollars!"Edward and the others finally came to their senses when they heard his exclamations.Cecily covered her mouth with her pretty hands. There was a shocked look on her face.Edward, Rachel, and Timothy looked at Austin in utter shock."Child… How much do these gifts cost? It's no humble gift at all!"Edward's voice was trembling. A single manuscript already cost 300 million dollars, so combined with the other gifts, the price would be astronomical!With his wealth, several hundred million would be a small goal, but it wouldn't make sense to give gifts worth that much to someone.480 million dollars!Austin knew

Glasses were passed around at the table, and laughter and chatter filled the room.It was quite a happy atmosphere.Faced with Edward, Timothy, and Derrick, Austin didn't look rigid or intimidated at all.He spoke with charisma, and he behaved appropriately.Edward, Rachel, and Derrick nodded in approval when they noticed his behavior.After all, they all held positions above everyone else.Even when they usually dined with the elite and wealthy, the others would just try to suck up to them.It was quite astonishing to see someone as young as Austin, who was from a younger generation, still keeping his calm and speaking in an appropriate tone that was neither too humble nor too proud.After several rounds of eating and drinking, Derrick tipsily got up with his glass in hand. "Young man, here's a toast to you. I was foolish last time, and I misunderstood you. I hereby apologize to you with this glass of wine!"He wasn't a fool. Instead, he was quite smart.As a master of paint
