Winner Takes All Chapter 343
Austin was startled when he heard what Ezra said.Then, he frowned with suspicion."Why is it that only I can find my mom?"What Ezra said didn't seem to add up.If Dahlia had truly disappeared, Ezra would have turned the city upside down searching for her, rather than telling Austin that only he could find her.Ezra sighed on the other end of the phone."Mr. Austin, Aldus and I will be downstairs at your company shortly. Let's discuss this in person."After the call ended, Austin hurried down the stairs with a grim expression.Something was not right with what Ezra said. However, it was certain that things did go wrong with Dahlia.Concerned for his mother, Austin was restless.When Austin reached the ground floor, he saw a Rolls-Royce parked by the curb.Approaching the car, he got in, and Ezra said to Aldus, "Let's go.""Who's behind this?" Austin's face was dark with frustration.From the way Ezra instructed Aldus to drive, it was clear they had already found Dahlia.

"It's clear!"Itijah chuckled. "But this has nothing to do with you. It's about my grandson. Hence, it's up to him to decide. With the grandeur of the Emerson family's legacy, I believe my grandson won't act rashly and ignorantly like you by having such a narrow-minded view.""Austin doesn't lack those things," Dahlia said disdainfully.Itijah emptied the feed in his hand into the pond. Then, he clapped his hands and stood up, saying to the bodyguard beside him, "Catch the happiest one and steam it for dinner tonight."Only then did he walk up to Dahlia. "Indeed, Austin doesn't lack these things, but who would mind having more? The Emerson family will give Austin much more than you can imagine. Even if those things hadn't happened in the past, you still wouldn't have enough to provide for Austin today!"Dahlia's disdainful expression intensified. Facing Itijah's gaze, she said, "Austin will disappoint you. He and I are mother and son. I understand him better than anyone!"Pa!It

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the serene courtyard, where only the sound of water could be heard. However, it was as loud as thunder.It startled everyone present.No one had expected Austin to suddenly take action.They didn't think he'd hit his own grandfather so decisively!His slap left Itijah's mouth bleeding. A look of bewilderment was on his face."Mr. Emerson Senior!"The nearby bodyguards immediately rushed over."Stop!"Itijah shouted angrily, "Do you all want to beat up my grandson?"The bodyguards came to a halt."Austin..." Dahlia spoke in panic.But Austin raised his hand to silence her. His gaze was icy as he stared at Itijah. "I don't care who you are. If you hit my mom, I'll hit you back!""It's my fault." Itijah nodded apologetically with a smile. "Austin, are you satisfied now?""What right do you have to be my grandfather?" With a glum expression, Austin said in an icy tone, "Where were you 20 years ago when my mom and I were living under so

They left Willowmere Pond.The atmosphere inside the car on the way home was unusually quiet.Ezra sat in the passenger seat and gazed out of the window.Austin and Dahlia were both silent in the back seat.Austin frowned while lost in thought.The appearance of his grandfather was as shocking as when Ezra had revealed Walter's background to him.Similarly, both instances left him feeling resentful.However, Ezra had saved Dahlia, which made him feel slightly grateful toward Walter.Meanwhile, his grandfather's appearance was nothing but a ludicrous display of "parental love".It left him feeling stifled, yet he couldn't help but wonder about the truth behind the events of the past.Dahlia sat with her head bowed while holding both her hands tight together. How Austin reacted was just as she had hoped for when she spoke to Walter. It hadn't disappointed her.Still, Austin's decisive action had left her anxious and apprehensive.Originally, she hadn't planned on telling Au

As Dahlia recalled the past, her voice was choked.She couldn't help but pause for a moment.Her expression was full of resentment.Austin frowned but didn't urge her to continue.After a while, Dahlia took a deep breath to calm herself down and continued, "Back then, your father and I met at a top-notch banquet and fell in love at first sight."And at that time, your father already had the qualifications to inherit the position of the family head. He was prepared to compete for the position."In the dim light, her eyes were as dark as endless black holes as she continued to unravel her memories.However, her expression gradually turned fierce and resentful."Your father and I soon established ourselves in this city and built our own business. Your father's talent and courage quickly stood out among the heirs of the Campbells."But at that time, I was pregnant with you. Your father couldn't bear to leave us behind, so he wanted to refuse the position of the family head, which

Austin's eyes flashed with cold determination as he watched Dahlia, whose face was streaked with tears. He growled and said, "But you're a part of the Emersons! You're his daughter! How could he be so ruthless to you?""Hah! Daughter?" Dahlia let out a bitter laugh and wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Austin, remember this. The Emersons have gender discrimination. Men are seen as the masters of the household, while women are considered insignificant accessories. Despite being part of the main lineage of the family, I had no chance to compete for the position of the family head, let alone access to resources!"Dahlia's voice came out almost as a wail.She felt the injustice deeply, like a festering wound that had been ripped open again by the memories.Gender discrimination?Austin's eyes narrowed, and he exuded a chilling aura all over.He smirked.In this day and age?How could the Emersons still harbor such an outdated and disgraceful mindset?The notion of men being s

Austin was stunned.Dahlia's words hit him like a thunderbolt."Invite me back to the Emersons to inherit the position of the family head?"Austin's mind was filled with confusion in that very instant.If the Emersons dared to disregard blood ties and greedily seize the legacy left by Walter for him and Dahlia, how could they now ask him to return as the family head?What was going on?Did they want to put their enemy in charge and let him wield the knife to slaughter them?"Hah! Because he understands that all of his precious sons are worthless!"Dahlia sneered contemptuously. "All my brothers are useless. All they ever know is to indulge in entertainment. How could they truly lead the Emersons to glory? Even without the Emersons' resources, the achievements I made were a hundred times more impressive than theirs!"I hate that I was born a female! This female body stripped away everything from me and brought upon the Emersons' cruel and heartless tyranny."Dahlia clenched he

The interior of the car was dimly lit.Silence enveloped the space.Suddenly, Austin burst into laughter.Rubbing his nose, Austin said, "Mom, have we ever knelt down in these past 20 years, no matter how tough things got?"Dahlia silently shook her head."That's right. Then there's no need for me to choose. We've overcome the toughest situations standing tall, so why should I kneel down now and swallow the Emersons' cold-blooded treatment?"Following that, Austin opened the car door."I'll take what I want on my own terms. Even if the Campbells pose a thousand obstacles, I'll still stand and rise. I've got self-respect. I won't kneel down to become the head of the Emersons!"His voice was cold but firm.Dahlia's eyes sparkled with determination, and she finally smiled.She looked at Austin and then gradually calmed down. She fell into deep thought.Dahlia said in a solemn tone, "If you choose that, the Emersons may not let us off.""I'm not even afraid of the Campbells. Wh
