Winner Takes All Chapter 414
Terrence's words had touched a nerve with Yannis.Yannis stamped her foot angrily. "That cunning woman. She must have been faking it and deliberately put on an act! She must have been even more terrified than me!"She gritted her teeth in frustration.She and Jennie had always been at odds since they were young. Yannis was always dissatisfied with Jennie."Faking it?" Terrence thought to himself.Surprised by Yannis's accusation, Terrence felt somewhat disheartened. The situation would have been better if only his granddaughter had put on an act like Jennie did last night.But how could Jennie pretend to be calm under such circumstances?Even he couldn't fake his reaction when he saw what happened last night.Moreover, even if Jennie was acting, it was a convincing act!"Let's go. If we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave at all," Terrence sighed and said.Yannis dared not say anything more. She hurriedly followed her grandfather. Escorted by the bodyguards, they h

An eerie silence filled the private plane.The roar of the fighter jets sounded like a death knell. It was deafening."Grandpa..."Yannis's face was drained of color. She gripped Terrence's arm tightly.Terrence seemed conflicted. His gaze was flickering.As the head of the Clarks, even though their position in the capital wasn't the most prominent, they had never experienced such treatment before.Looking at the fighter jets and their loaded weaponry outside the window, Terrence felt like he was staring into the jaws of a beast. It was ready to devour the plane.Taking a deep breath, he clenched his fists tightly and said in a low voice, "Return and land!"The two fighter jets continued to escort the private plane as it began its descent.Then, with a deafening roar, they soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.In just a few minutes, Terrence's back was drenched in sweat.He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I never imagined that I'd experience being escorted by fi

In the eyes of those cunning elites among the prestigious families, a stray heir seemed easier to manipulate than a legitimate one.That was what made the Clarks and the Coopers visit Austin, which also led to the assassination attempt.It wasn't just Ezra who thought so. Even Walter had given his orders last night.It was a perfect opportunity to show those elite families that even a stray heir of the Campbells was not to be trifled with.If the assassination remained unsolved, everybody involved should pay the price!Walter wanted the people to know that injuring the Campbells' heir would cost countless lives!He wanted them to fear Austin so that nobody would ever harm him again!At Emerald Retreat, Jacob was in a frenzy. Sweat poured down his forehead as he panted.Looking at the reports presented to him, he seethed with anger."Useless! All of you are useless!"Smack!He cursed loudly, throwing the documents away."You spent an entire night, yet you still can't find an

Fortunately, Cecily didn't notice his strange expression.Austin felt a strong sense of guilt.But his memories of last night were somewhat blurry.He wasn't sure if anything had happened between him and Jennie.It seemed he needed to find time to ask her. But how could he bring up such a topic?Taking a deep breath, he pushed aside his jumbled thoughts.Austin's gaze gradually turned cold.The Clarks!Last night, he had clearly been drugged.The assassins definitely wouldn't drug him with something that made him feel hot and restless.It had to have been the Clarks."The Clarks are truly despicable. If luck wasn't on my side last night, I might have died on the spot."Austin thought to himself.After the drug had taken effect in his body last night, he felt weak all over.If it weren't for Aldus and Wolf's desperate protection, and Jennie's brave intervention at the critical moment, he would definitely be dead by now.With his combat strength, he wouldn't have gotten in

"I'll inform Mr. Campbell immediately," Ezra said before turning and leaving the ward.Austin sat on the bed, his gaze deep.Beside him, Cecily blinked and hesitated to speak, "Austin, is it really possible?"Obviously, she was referring to the involvement of the Campbells.Austin smiled knowingly. "It might not turn out as we expect."Cecily was confused but didn't press further.Two days had passed.Under Jacob's relentless investigation, the entire city was stirred up.Soon, Reginald also received Ezra's orders to mobilize his intelligence team.While things seemed quiet in the city, a storm was surging.After the Clarks and Coopers joined hands, the capital was affected, too.The capital was recently shaken by the upheaval at the Emersons.Now, the situation turned even more tense.When the elite families learned about what happened, they were shocked.How could someone dare to assassinate the heir of the Campbells? It was akin to a declaration of war against the fami

Everybody in the ward tensed up at Ezra's statement.Austin and the other two were shocked.A family was built up over generations of effort and dedication.Whether in terms of wealth, status, or otherwise, it represented the collective toil of generations.Yet how could someone make a whole family squander their ancestors' efforts and serve as a scapegoat? What level of terror must the mastermind behind the scheme possess?Even Cecily was left speechless. She covered her mouth in astonishment."Hah…"Sighing heavily, Austin picked up the document again and began to read."The Pearson family from Basin City?"The document indicated that the Pearsons were nothing more than a small family in Basin City.They were insignificant compared to the Emersons, Clarks, and Coopers, let alone Jacob's family.Nestled in a corner, they were mere locals.Their entire family fortune amounted to no more than 300 million dollars.How could such a family qualify as the mastermind?Even if t

As soon as he finished his sentence, Jacob entered the Sky Pavilion.He heard Terrence's words.Jacob said coldly, "I'm sorry, but the three of you cannot leave yet.""What do you mean?" Yannis began to panic.Jacob's expression grew serious. "After Mr. Austin is discharged from the hospital, he wishes to have a conversation with the three of you."Both Terry and Yannis' faces darkened when they heard that.They wondered if Austin was going to settle scores with them.Jennie furrowed her brows. "This matter has nothing to do with me. I saved him out of goodwill. He's the one who took the knife for me. Does that mean I can't leave either?"After the assassination attempt, the Clarks and the Coopers temporarily gave up on winning Austin's heart.Their priority now was to escape from the situation and return to Kandor City as soon as possible.As for winning Austin over, they would have to rethink their approach."Ms. Cooper, it's not what you think. Mr. Austin simply has somet

"What is it?"Austin looked at Vincent with curiosity.Stretching lazily, Vincent propped his feet up on the bed and crossed them before leaning back slightly. He then gazed up at the ceiling.With a playful smile, he said, "If it weren't for the Pearsons, I wouldn't have remembered this. I didn't give it much thought before."Austin didn't urge him. He patiently waited for him to continue."As the Pearsons are insignificant, I've had very few encounters with them because the Redmonts had some minor business dealings with them."The most recent encounter I remember was at a banquet before I killed my Dad."Austin's lips twitched slightly.But Vincent continued nonchalantly, "Back then, I saw a young guy standing behind the head of the Pearsons. I didn't pay much attention to him at that time. I didn't even pay attention to the head of the Pearsons..."Suddenly, Vincent sat up straight.He stared straight at Austin."Now that I know you, I suddenly recall that the guy looked
