"But it'll be fine if he admits it, right?" Cecily couldn't understand.Smiling, Rachel walked up to Cecily. She draped a jacket over her daughter.Hugging Cecily, she said in a gentle voice, "Do you love him?"Cecily nodded."Does he love you?"Cecily was stunned for a moment. Then, she nodded.Rachel raised an eyebrow. "That's that, then. If you love each other so much, why would you be hung up on the passage of time? When you love someone, you'll treat them as an exceedingly precious treasure. Even the slightest bit of under-preparation feels like a crime."Cecily turned to look at Rachel. "Do you mean that Austin wasn't prepared enough? Is that why he said that he wasn't here to propose?"But when she said those words, she didn't quite believe it.Austin had already prepared several hundred million dollars, and even the original manuscript of Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening". How could it not be enough?Rachel smiled in exasperation. "Perhaps we feel

"How long has she been missing?" Austin asked in a low voice.Dahlia thought for a moment. Then, she said, "About ten minutes."Austin immediately said, "Aldus, Mr. Lockwood, search around the area first. I'll get the property management to show me the surveillance records.""Austin, I'll go with you."Dahlia quickly walked up to Austin, holding her phone tightly with both hands. She had a panicked look on her face. "Raquel, please be safe.""Mom, she'll be fine." Austin comforted her.But he knew that comforting Dahlia like this wouldn't help much.Raquel was very capable, and she didn't mind hard work at all. She had been taking very attentive care of Dahlia, and Dahlia had also treated Raquel as her daughter.…At the property management office, after the manager learned of the situation, he hastily checked the surveillance videos. However, the results were disappointing.Raquel's figure never appeared in the surveillance videos.This meant that Raquel didn't leave throug

It hadn't been that long since then, but Raquel got into trouble once again.The Rolls-Royce sped along the road.But pin-drop silence reigned in the car.Aldus, who was driving, had a grave expression on his face. From time to time, he would glance at Austin and Ezra via the rearview mirror. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, slowly stepping harder on the gas pedal."We found her. She's in Meadowvale Village in the west city!"Ezra suddenly shouted in surprise, "Raquel was in that lean man's car, and after they entered Meadowvale Village, they never came out again."Meadowvale Village?Austin frowned deeply. He could still remember that when he hired Raquel back then, the agency had provided some of her personal information. Raquel's hometown was none other than Meadowvale Village!Almost at the same time, the Rolls-Royce screeched as the brakes were stepped on.Aldus turned the steering wheel, forcing the Rolls-Royce to drift.Austin and Ezra were caught off guard

"Raquel!"Aldus shouted at the top of his lungs. He rammed down the remaining door with his towering body as he dashed straight toward the house.Austin and Ezra were startled by the sudden scene.By the time the two ran into the yard, Aldus had already arrived in front of the house.Kicking down the old wooden door, Aldus dashed straight in.Right after that…"Ah! You jerk!"Aldus' furious bellows rang out from within the house.Austin's heart sank. In all the time he knew Aldus, he had never seen Aldus so furious before!Even Ezra looked shocked.In the next second, a tragic scream sounded as a person was sent flying right out of the house. They crashed heavily into the ground like a burst sandbag. He had landed right in front of Austin and Ezra.It was the man who had taken Raquel away.It was her father!"W-Who exactly are you guys?"Having fallen on the floor, the man shouted in fear. Blood was coming out of his mouth."We're people you can't afford to mess with!"

Raquel's dad had raised her, and he thought that he could deal with her however he liked because of that?Austin suddenly smiled. His smile was cold and stern, and his eyes gradually narrowed.He was amused by this man's logic.Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its young, but this man actually had such thoughts about his daughter, and he wouldn't even let outsiders intervene!If Austin and the others hadn't arrived in time, and if Raquel hadn't been smart enough to ask Dahlia for help, Austin couldn't imagine the situation Raquel would be in right now!Without any warning, Austin grabbed the man's collar with both hands. Then, he performed an over-the-shoulder throw.Because of the great force, the man's clothes were ripped. His body crashed heavily onto the floor, and blood spurted out of his mouth.Before he could get up, Austin stepped on his back. Austin said in a cold voice, "If you dare get up, I'll kill you!"His voice was cold, and even the temperature in the house seem

When Aldus rushed into the main hall of the house, the five men outside dashed in as well.The five men were shocked when they saw Aldus.The man at the lead was a bald man with a plump face and a protruding belly.He shouted in a fierce voice, "Who the hell are you?""Bob, these losers are trying to challenge you!"Frankie Johnson, Raquel's father whom Austin was stepping on, spoke in a shrill and loud voice.Austin leaned over and glared at Frankie. "You beast!"He slapped Frankie across the face.In an instant, Frankie's cheek swelled up.Throughout the process, Raquel sat dumbfoundedly by the bed with tears running down her face."Hah! How dare they?"The bald man had a leery look on his face as he sneered. Then, he said to Aldus, "Big guy, you should've asked around to figure out who I am. I'm Bob Harris!"That damned Johnson owed me 500 thousand dollars in debt. My friends and I are just going to sleep with his daughter so that his debt can be cleared. It's a huge bar

Aldus had such a terrifying air about him that Bob felt like something was lodged in his throat. He even paused his breath.Almost at the same time, Aldus' large hand was brought down.Bob widened his eyes. He felt like everything was turning dark.The slap sounded like thunder.Bob's head was tilted to the side. In an instant, his cheek swelled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.Because of the huge force, he felt like his cheek was hit with a hammer. He was almost sent flying.But then, Aldus raised his left hand and grabbed Bob by the collar.Then, he delivered another slap on Bob's face with his right hand. "You're just a nobody. How dare you prey on my woman!"His slaps punctuated his sentences."You're even less than a beast!"There was another slap."My woman is not one you can just play with as you please!"There came the final slap.As Aldus spoke in a cold voice, he delivered heavy slaps across Bob's face.Bob's face was extremely swollen, and he kept bleeding

The Rolls-Royce cruised along the road.Austin was driving in silence, and Ezra was sitting in the passenger seat.Aldus hugged Raquel as they sat in the back seat. He was comforting her quietly.His tone was soft and tender. It was hard to imagine that just moments ago, Aldus was displaying a furious and bloodthirsty image.Raquel curled up in Aldus' arms. Tears were running down her face.Perhaps because she had gotten tired from crying, she didn't make any sounds. She just let the tears flow in silence.But she was gripping tightly onto Aldus' sleeves with both hands.When Ezra caught that scene through the rearview mirror, he smiled."Please, have some decency."Austin scoffed. Then, he covered the rearview mirror.Then, he activated the partition separating the front and back portions of the car. Hence, Aldus and Raquel were given some privacy.Ezra raised an eyebrow. "Wasn't I allowed to just look?""You're intruding on their privacy." Austin rolled his eyes. "If you
