Winner Takes All Chapter 404
As the evening approached, Austin left work right on time.Aldus was already waiting in the car by the roadside.After Wolf and Austin entered the car, they headed straight to Emerald Retreat.Austin didn't pay much attention to who might be hosting the event tonight at Emerald Retreat.If it was Jennie, they could sit down and talk.But if it was Yannis, he could simply leave.In the afternoon, Austin had learned a bit about the Cooper family through Ezra. They were also in the entertainment industry and constantly overshadowed by the Clarks.However, the Coppers had other main businesses except for the entertainment industry. Hence, to be exact, the Coppers were a bit stronger than the Clarks.The two families were already arch-rivals in the entertainment industry.It was no wonder both parties had come with the same purpose in mind."Mr. Austin, it seems that both the Clarks and Coopers have come to build rapport with you. I guess it was right for us to go against the Emer

Austin was shocked to see the two families present.He was completely caught off guard.He shot a sideways glance at Jacob, who quickly approached him with an awkward smile. "Mr. Campbell, I'm really sorry about this.""You can leave now."Austin nodded.Although it was a simple response, his words caught the attention of Terrence, Yannis, and Jennie. They were all surprised.Austin spoke as though he was commanding someone inferior to him.Their gazes changed as they stared at him.Once Jacob left, Terrence stepped forward and approached Austin. "Mr. Campbell, please take a seat.""Yes, Mr. Campbell. Please take a seat."Yannis smiled brightly. Her demeanor was now warm and inviting. It was a stark contrast to how she behaved earlier.Austin was speechless. He stole a glance at the woman on the opposite.He wondered why she was so indifferent.Faced with both Terrence and Yannis' insistence, Austin had no reason to refuse. He took his place between them at the head of the

Under the pressure from Terrence and Yannis, Jennie also took a few sips. Her face flushed slightly.While Austin was eating, Terrence seized the opportunity and cast a sidelong glance at Jennie.Then, he exchanged a meaningful look with Yannis. Suddenly, his gaze turned determined.He then chuckled and said he needed to use the restroom before getting up to leave.No one noticed anything unusual, not even the vigilant Aldus and Wolf.Once outside the pavilion, Terrence stretched lazily and breathed a sigh of relief. His breath reeked of alcohol.At that moment, his eyes were clear, and his expression was calm. He didn't seem drunk at all.Terrence glanced back at the pavilion with a firm gaze and strode away."Now, it's time for desperate measures. Jennie Cooper, you might be able to defeat Yannis, but you're no match for me. Tonight, you will lose!"In no time, he had Jacob bring him a bottle of Romanee-Conti.After Jacob left, Terrence retrieved a small packet from his poc

As Aldus spoke, the atmosphere inside the pavilion suddenly became tense."We're in the pavilion. How could there be the smell of blood here?"Feeling secretly pleased, Terrence chuckled and cast a sidelong glance at Austin.It seemed everything was falling into place. Just one final step, and they would succeed.Austin's dizziness grew worse. The spinning sensation was overwhelming him.He shook his head. Then, he spoke up with his last shred of rationality. "Go check it out. Trust Aldus."Aldus was once a mercenary king and was now the head trainer of the Campbells. He was more sensitive to the scent of blood than anyone else.Without hesitation, Wolf gravely approached the main gate.Aldus instinctively moved a step closer to protect Austin.The sudden interruption made Terrence and Yannis furrow their brows slightly. They felt somewhat annoyed.On the other hand, Jennie frowned, too. She wrinkled her nose slightly.She was perhaps the most sober person in the pavilion ap

Austin cursed inwardly. His remaining sanity made him aware of how dangerous the situation was.He wanted to flee, but he couldn't!His body felt limp and numb, and he was about to lose consciousness. He couldn't control his limbs."Take Mr. Austin away and run!"Aldus kicked away an assailant and rushed to Wolf's side.Wolf was furious. "You won't be able to hold them off without my help!"Wolf would never hesitate, even if they were armed and fighting against a dozen armed normal people.But he knew all too well how terrifying a dozen armed professionals could be.Aldus could get killed if he faced all these people alone!"I don't care if I die. I want Mr. Austin to live!"Aldus' expression was grim as he grabbed Wolf's collar. He was ready to throw him out of the wall."Watch out!"Wolf shouted and grabbed Aldus' arms before using his momentum to kick at the assassin sneaking up behind Aldus.Feeling the chilling wind graze the back of his head, Aldus narrowed his eyes.

Austin let out a grunt of pain.Meanwhile, Aldus and Wolf, who were engaged in the battle, were horrified. Their eyes were bulging. "Mr. Austin!"The dagger, originally aimed at Jennie's back, found its mark in Austin's back as he flipped her over at the critical moment.As blood gushed forth from Austin's back, he exerted all his strength and attempted to shield Jennie before dodging.However, a large hand suddenly gripped his neck. He then felt the dagger in his back viciously twisting. "Get lost!"With a stern expression, Jennie suddenly shouted.Seemingly fragile, she threw a powerful punch and struck the assassin squarely in the face.The assassin grunted and stumbled backward. At that moment, Aldus and Wolf finally arrived."Wolf, escort Mr. Austin out of here!"Enraged, Aldus looked like a raging beast. He hoisted the assassin up around the waist.Then, he wielded him like a club and charged into the group of assassins. Bang! Bang! Bang!A series of muffled fo

The incident occurred at Emerald Retreat. This was his territory. If he couldn't clear his name immediately, Austin might kill him!Aldus and Wolf sneered but remained silent. Jacob probably wouldn't have the guts to do something like this. But the two were too exhausted now. Jennie had already left with Austin. They wouldn't want to risk saying too much and inviting further trouble. Jacob was frantic. "Find him! Find Mr. Campbell, even if it costs you your lives!" Jacob angrily glared at Aldus and Wolf. "Send them to the hospital immediately, and do not allow any leaks to the press. We need to investigate tonight's events thoroughly!" It happened on his turf. He not only needed to clear his name but also find out the truth to give an explanation to Austin and the Campbells.Jacob was extremely agitated. His eyes turned red, and he felt like banging his head against a wall. He had just given Austin the Blue Tears Diamond. How could things turn into such a mess in the

Screech!The Porsche 911 suddenly swerved on the road. It emitted a piercing sound as Jennie slammed on the brakes.After swerving for a few meters, it finally regained stability.Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Jennie sat upright in the driver's seat.Her expression was full of fear, and sweat dripped down her forehead.That was close!If she hadn't reacted quickly, they might have crashed. Taking a deep breath, Jennie looked apologetically at Austin beside her. "I'm sorry, Mr. Campbell. You forced me into this. I really only wanted to talk business with you."Austin was leaning his head against the seat.His face was flushed, and he was unconscious.Austin reacted after the drug took effect in his body, and Jennie panicked. She decisively knocked him unconscious.Everything happened in the few seconds the car swerved.In the chaos, Jennie couldn't think of any other way to stop him.She couldn't just let Austin act recklessly.After all, she wasn't Yannis."Yanni
