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." "So, your d

After work, Austin hurried to Cecily's home. Such opportunities were rare. Moreover, they were just one step away from getting married. What harm could it do to take things to the next step? Cecily's home was an apartment. It was not luxurious, but it exuded warmth and coziness. It was perfect for Cecily to live alone.When Cecily opened the door, she glanced behind him and asked, "Where's Aldus?" Austin would never bring a third wheel for this occasion. Austin smiled. "I didn't ask Aldus to drive me today. I took a taxi myself." "Okay then."Cecily smiled sweetly. "Come on in. Dinner's ready, and there's soup on the stove. It's almost done." Austin smiled as he entered the house. His appetite was immediately aroused when he saw the delicious spread on the table. However, he couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled. "Cecily, I didn't know you were such a great cook," Austin said.Cecily handed him a recipe. "I simply followed the instructions here. I'm

"Gosh … Forget it. Let's just go out to eat. It didn't turn out well this time, but it'll be better next time." Cecily's smile disappeared as she waved her hand in disappointment."No, it's fine. It's really delicious. Let's eat at home." Austin stopped Cecily. He picked up his fork and started eating eagerly.Cecily stared blankly at the scene. A smile gradually appeared on her disappointed face. Taking a deep breath, Cecily picked up her cutlery and said earnestly, "Since you insisted on eating at home, you have to finish it all.""No problem! As long as you're not worried about me drinking all your water," Austin mumbled with his mouth full. Despite the less-than-tasty food, the two of them enjoyed the meal with laughter and cheer. After dinner, they washed the dishes together. However, as they sat before the TV, Austin's mind had already drifted elsewhere. He waited for so long. Now that they were full, it was finally time to get to the point! His heart co

Looking at Cecily in front of him, Austin felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him.He had thought that things were going smoothly between them.Yet, it was all his wishful thinking. It was a misunderstanding on his part.Scratching his head awkwardly, Austin said, "Cecily, I'm sorry. I misunderstood. I'll head home now.""Austin!"Cecily suddenly grabbed Austin's hand.She then stood up and said earnestly, "I'll be yours sooner or later. I just hope to save this beautiful moment for our wedding night.""I respect your decision." Austin nodded solemnly, though his eyes seemed a bit distracted.At that moment, he felt somewhat flustered.He didn't blame Cecily.But he was embarrassed about his actions earlier.Before Austin could gather his thoughts, Cecily suddenly tiptoed and lightly kissed him on the lips.Austin froze in surprise."Thank you." Cecily smiled gently. She then released Austin's hand and stretched lazily as if nothing had happened. Smiling, she said, "Alr

Austin put on a casual smile, but his eyes reflected his fierce fighting spirit. "Business is as fierce as war, or so they say. We can't be the winners without taking any risks." The night breeze was much cooler today.A gleam flashed across Ezra's eyes as he let out a sigh. "If you wish to enter the financial industry, then I may recommend a certain someone to you."Austin was pleasantly surprised. "Who is it?"Breaking into the financial industry was basically a career change for him.Austin didn't really have complete confidence in switching to a whole different area of work.He believed that anyone recommended by Ezra himself must be quite the candidate to work together with.Ezra smiled and explained, "There is a certain young man hailing from the Redmont family of Basin City. I've only met him once, but I can tell that he's a talented person. Said young man is rather… peculiar. I'm afraid you might have to personally ask him for help."Austin fell deep into thoughts. "Th

A Mercedes-Maybach was stopped in front of the Heavensgate Residence.Itijah sat at the back of the car. His eyes gleamed with a sinister glow as he gently tapped on his crutch with his fingers. "Perhaps… This is the last resort."He would do anything for the Emersons.Many years ago, Itijah would go so far as coveting and essentially stealing the inheritance that Walter had prepared for his wife and son.It was because he prioritized his family more than anything else.But as for Dahlia… Itijah didn't care much for the daughter he deemed to be a loser."Sir, we've arrived," said one of the bodyguards as he opened the car door.Dahlia came out of the house with a stern expression as she held her phone tightly in her hand.Her eyes reflected her complicated emotions as she stared at the Maybach.Dahlia slowly approached the car as she decided that it would be the last time they met before they moved on from each other for the rest of their lives.The car window slowly rolled d
