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

"Are you really not going to investigate further?" Vincent suddenly asked, sounding somewhat unwilling."There's nothing more to find out." Austin shook his head. "We'll have to wait for the next time."The mastermind behind this was powerful enough to sacrifice the Pearsons as a scapegoat. There was no way to uncover their identity unless they wanted to reveal themselves."Alright then."Vincent nodded, then his eyes lit up with curiosity. "What about the Clarks and the Coopers? How do you plan to deal with them?""What do you think?"Austin smirked mischievously.Vincent rubbed his hands together, his face filled with anticipation. "How about giving me a chance to play the hero and save the beauty? I could easily handle Yannis.""You're such a jerk!"Austin chuckled and said, "I can help you, but the Clarks still have to pay for what they did."That night, Yannis charged at Jennie and him, and she pushed them aside to protect herself. It wasn't something that Vincent could

With a thud, Jennie clenched her fist tightly and delivered a punch straight to Austin's face.Austin's body swayed, and he let out a pained cry.His head buzzed for a moment, and he almost fainted."That was what happened."Jennie sat back down. "But I knocked you out cold that night. This time, I held back."Rubbing his throbbing face, Austin looked at Jennie with resentment. "Couldn't you have just told me? Why did you have to punch me?"Jennie's expression turned cold. "If I hadn't reacted quickly and knocked you out that night, who knows what you would have done?"I came to talk business with you. No one has ever dared to treat me like that. Now that you've somewhat recovered, can't I punch you as payback?"Austin fell silent.He thought Jennie's words made sense.Besides, he also gained a new understanding of Jennie.She wasn't just aloof; she had a fiery temperament as well.Austin took a deep breath.Although his face was still swollen, he felt relieved now.At le

Everything happened in just two minutes.Even after Jennie left the ward, she felt like she was dreaming. Everything seemed so unreal.They were talking about a billion-dollar deal and setting up a new company.Yet, it was all settled in just two minutes?Before coming here, she had spent a long time discussing the topic with the adults at home. They had planned out the company's operation mode, profit distribution, and future blueprint in detail.That was also why the Coopers arrived a few days later than the Clarks.But now, none of it mattered!They got the one billion dollars! She pinched her cheek so hard that it left a red mark.It hurt!It wasn't a dream!Jennie's heart raced, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.At this moment, she was thrilled beyond words.Without any delay, she quickly returned to Emerald Retreat, packed her bags, and headed back to Kandor City.With the funds in hand, it was time to establish the company as soon as possible.What made her
