Timothy and Jacob's faces fell when they heard that.Indeed, no one dared to accept Austin's apology.Moreover, Austin didn't do anything wrong.He arrived right on time, so he was clearly right.Instead, it seemed like Itijah was pressuring Austin.Sitting in the main seat, Itijah turned pale.He wanted to showcase the power and influence of the Emersons through this meal.Even in this corner of the city, he could summon all the local bigwigs with a wave of his hand.In his eyes, Austin would never have the chance to meet such influential figures.Though Dominion Properties was rising rapidly in the city, it still couldn't catch Itijah's attention.In his opinion, connections were far more important than money.Yet, Austin was behaving like a rebellious young man.His plan was completely ruined.Bump!Fuming with anger, Itijah slammed his cane forcefully against the ground."Jacob..." he said through gritted teeth.Jacob's heart skipped a beat. His already livid face t

"Damn it! What a shameless old man!" Austin thought to himself."How dare you?"Itijah trembled with rage. Austin's arrogant remarks hit him like lightning.This meal was supposed to be his stage. It was his opportunity to showcase the power and influence of the Emersons, not to be publicly humiliated by Austin.His face was flushed with anger, and his chest was heaving. Itijah pointed at Timothy. "Do you have any idea who these people are? He is one of the most influential figures in our city!"This guy here is a big shot in the business world!"And he's a luminary in the medical field."…Itijah listed off their impressive credentials through gritted teeth while pointing at them.Consumed by rage, he failed to notice the subtle changes in Timothy and the others' expressions.As the introductions came to an end, Itijah slammed his cane on the ground.He exuded an air of dominance."Where did you get the nerve to act so insolently in front of me on such an occasion?"The E

Silence filled the dining room.It was so quiet one could hear a pin drop.The atmosphere was oddly unsettling.Itijah sat there, feeling lost and bewildered.Samuel's words left him with a sense of confusion and discomfort. He felt his body burning.Despite his status and identity, he couldn't shake off the feelings of frustration.He had considered paying Edward a visit when he learned that Edward was at the Bamboo Parlor.In the blink of an eye, he discovered that Austin was Edward's son-in-law.Cecily Enterprises already overshadowed the Emersons, not to mention the Campbells.What was the point of this meal today?Right then, the other guests stood up one by one. They offered their respects to Itijah before leaving their seats.Without exception, they all apologized to Austin as they approached him. Their attitudes were obviously different from when they bid farewell to Itijah.Soon, the dining room was empty. Jacob was the only one left in the room.Itijah looked a

However, the bodyguards at the door stood firm and blocked Austin's way."Do you have a death wish?"Putting his hands in his pockets, Austin raised an eyebrow.His strong killing intent made the atmosphere turn tense.Aldus stepped forward and pressured the two bodyguards with his towering figure. They grimaced."Move aside!" Aldus roared angrily.The two bodyguards stepped aside simultaneously. Austin smiled and looked back at Itijah. "You may have many people, but they're no match for Aldus alone."His sentence was filled with mockery, sarcasm, and disdain.He didn't come here to succumb to Itijah.Instead, he came to tell Itijah that he wasn't someone to be trifled with or threatened.The best way to treat shameless and domineering individuals was to be even more ruthless and cold-blooded than them.Itijah watched Austin leave with a somber expression, his eyes dark and brooding.Gripping his cane, he trembled slightly. The veins on the back of his hands bulged.He w

Cecily trembled.Her ears turned red.Subconsciously, she took a step aside and asked in surprise, "What is it?"As soon as the words left her mouth, she caught sight of Austin's odd smile.Cecily suddenly snapped out of her daze.Her cheeks flushed crimson in an instant.She muttered angrily, "You jerk, what are you thinking? My parents and uncles are all in there!""I don't see them." Austin chuckled and teasingly brushed Cecily's nose.Cecily's beautiful face turned even redder. Lowering her head in embarrassment, she remained silent.Austin laughed heartily and stopped teasing her. "Let's go. I'll go in and greet your parents. It was indeed quite embarrassing earlier.""You're becoming more and more of a jerk." Cecily stood in place and cast a reproachful glance at Austin as he walked toward the parlor.Aldus, who was walking behind, overheard her words.He chuckled and said, "You can't call Mr. Austin a jerk. He's only joking around with his wife.""Aldus, stop saying

The three men were astonished.Then, Austin continued, "It's true that I am Itijah's grandson, but I will never forget the hardships my mother and I endured for the past 20 years. The Emersons were ruthless. Itijah is planning to use us. My mother and I are no longer associated with them."Though his words were gentle, they carried a strong conviction. Edward and the rest looked even more puzzled.Austin had no intention of staying any longer. With a slight smile and a polite farewell, he rose and left.In the living room, Edward and the two exchanged glances.After a while, Edward suddenly blamed Timothy for everything. "Timothy, you are a local authority figure. Don't you know about Austin's past?"Timothy shook his head in confusion. "Though I am a local authority figure, I didn't know Austin was related to the Emersons."Samuel smiled bitterly. "Edward, don't blame Timothy. Wealthy people like you would prefer to keep your identity a secret, right?"Edward chuckled wryly an

Matt didn't directly answer Austin's question.Instead, he mysteriously handed a bill to Austin."I guarantee you'll be shocked, Austin!"Austin picked up the bill and glanced at it. Then, he calmly placed it back on the table.He looked at the excited Matt with a solemn expression. "So what?"Matt was confused.After a moment of stunned silence, Matt asked in surprise, "Aren't you surprised? Aren't you excited or happy?""I am." Austin nodded calmly.Matt was speechless. Was this how Austin looked like when he was excited and happy?That was odd!Then, Austin leaned back in his chair and calmly said, "This is the usual amount of pocket money my father gives me."Matt was shocked.He felt like he had been struck by lightning.His face fell, and he was at a loss.This sudden display of wealth was too overwhelming.He wondered why he didn't have such a wealthy father.Austin waved his hand. "Matt, I am indeed very excited and happy. But the current success of Dominion Pro

Standing beside the gate of Tetra Club, Timothy watched the two departing cars.Timothy smiled and asked, "Edward, are you satisfied now?" "Absolutely. My son-in-law doesn't like that old man. So, it's best that he's gone."Edward was all smiles. "If he dares to offend my son-in-law again, I'll kick him out of here!" "You're so mean."Timothy chuckled helplessly. "After all, he's the wealthiest man in the capital." Edward smirked playfully. "Do you think I'm unaware of the country's issues just because I've been abroad for years?"After a brief pause, Edward continued, "The Emersons are in trouble now." Timothy smiled but remained silent.After a few seconds, he asked, "When are you going to visit the Campbells?" "Tomorrow."Edward's face was beaming with joy. "My daughter has done me a great favor by marrying someone like Austin. Ezra has assured me that the doors of the Campbells are open to me. The head of their family will personally receive me."
