Jacob saw Austin sitting calmly at the dining table, eating breakfast in silence.The diagonal rays of the sun shone on Austin.Austin had a confident air about him, and with the sunlight adding to Austin's presence, Jacob was stunned at the sight. Jacob felt bitterness filling his heart.He had never thought that a man with true power would be hiding in the company he had established for the retirement of his wife's brother.As Jacob recalled the various events in the past, he felt extremely regretful. Once he took a wrong step, all the steps after it would be wrong as well.If he had taken Austin's side without wavering since the beginning, he wouldn't have to come up to Austin and apologize right now."Mr. Sanders, you're quite early."Holding a bowl of soup in his hands, Austin said with a half-smile, "Have a seat and help yourself. You haven't had breakfast, right?"It was an invitation, but Austin never once looked Jacob in the eye."No, it's okay. I'm here to take respo

Jacob was a hero, but he was also a tyrant.Someone like Jacob was on a completely different level from a repulsive man like Reginald.Even though the two were rivals in the eyes of the outsiders, Jacob didn't seriously regard Reginald as his rival.People like Reginald would fall under control as long as their lives were threatened, or if they were baited with profit.But those two elements were nothing when dealing with tyrants like Jacob.Tyrants were called tyrants because of their manipulative and distrustful behavior. They knew how to pursue benefits while avoiding harm, and they could maximize their profits while they were at it.Jacob had a pride and dignity of his own.He was so arrogant that he was capable of looking down on all his so-called "rivals".That was why his figurative backbone was more firm and flexible compared to those of people like Reginald.So, in the previous events, even though Jacob had defected before, he could still sit on the fence in the end,

Cecily didn't contact Austin because she feared that she might ask about the details of Austin's proposal.If she did that, fewer surprises would be awaiting her.Cecily's heart was filled with anticipation for the proposal.Classical music was playing in the building, and the scent of sandalwood permeated the air.Edward and Rachel sat facing each other, sipping tea as they admired the flowers.It was a rare time of leisure for the family of three, and it was quiet and peaceful."Darling, was I really that disgraceful that night?" In the few days after Edward sobered up, he only remembered a few short moments of the events that night.But those few recollections were enough for him to feel flushed.After holding it in for so long, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked the question.Rachel raised an eyebrow and gave Edward a disapproving look. "What did you think? Austin came just to express his gratitude, and he only treated that night as his first meeting with hi

In the yard, a slight breeze picked up, and the scent of flowers filled the air.But Cecily stood where she was, frozen. The radiant glow was gone from her face.Her expression was dark, and her gaze wandered.The contents of the envelope were like a streak of lightning that struck her out of nowhere. With a loud peal of thunder, all her wonderful fantasies crumbled like a dream.It was a photo!In the photo, Austin and Nancy were seated facing each other in Blue Fairy Dining."Have they gotten back together?" Cecily thought, "If so, why would Austin propose to me?"In that instant, Cecily felt troubled, and her mind turned blank.She stuffed the photo back into the envelope. Then, she turned around and walked dejectedly into the building.Edward and Rachel, who had been drinking tea and observing Cecily, were both stunned.They saw the staff member from Tetra Club delivering the envelope, and they also saw the changes in Cecily's expression after seeing the contents of the e

Austin didn't care about money.He might have cared about money in the past, but now, money was just a string of numbers to him.He would even give up 1 billion dollars, let alone 100 million dollars, as long as it meant that his relationship with Cecily would be maintained!This relationship was achieved with great effort, so he treasured it a lot.To him, this relationship was priceless because of how Cecily and her parents treated him.If this photo fell into Cecily's hands, the proposal he was preparing for the end of this month would go up in flames.Also, since Nancy had already planned this early on, she would have more than this single photo of them seated facing each other.Austin wouldn't be surprised if he saw other photos that were more suggestive than this.He kept taking in deep breaths, trying his best to calm his anger.Austin's expression was cold as if he were a man-eating beast. A twisted smile appeared on his lips as he slowly took up his phone.He sent Na

He didn't dare to vent his anger on the Welches right away.If the Welches were bold enough to blackmail him for 100 million dollars, then they would have the guts to send the photo to Cecily.Austin's relationship with Cecily would reach its final stage at the end of this month.He wouldn't allow any trouble to occur during this period!That evening, after getting off work, Austin distractedly left t

Ezra sighed. He had a complicated expression on his face as he said, "Madam Emerson, I've already given you some advice early on, and I believe that you can solve the problem. But, Madam Emerson, power always comes with more trouble. I still think that you should tell sir about this so that he'll be prepared."Dahlia suddenly slammed her palm furiously on the table, causing the teacups on the table to clatter.At that moment, Dahlia's usually gentle and loving face was cold and filled with anger.If Austin saw that, he would definitely be shocked.After all, since young, he had rarely seen that expression on his mother's face."You treat me with respect by calling me Madam Emerson, so why are you going against my orders?" Dahlia said in a cold voice. Her gaze was sharp as she stared at Ezra."Madam Emerson, your current behavior reminds me of your glorious years in the past."Ezra remained calm, and he never flinched. "Still, I'm being considerate of sir."Dahlia grabbed a teac
