Cecily was still confused about what had just happened as Edward and Rachel made their leave.But Timothy knew that they were in a rush to head back to plan for Cecily Enterprise's future.Both Austin and Cecily finally realized what was going on after Timothy explained it to them.Dahlia and Ezra had already headed back inside the car to keep themselves warm from the chilly night breeze.Austin and Cecily, however, were taking their time walking through the Bamboo Parlor with their hands held together as they both slowly sobered up from alcohol.Austin suddenly spoke up. "Thank you, Cecily. And your parents, too."Cecily glanced at him and replied, "What are you thanking me for, silly? We're already a family."He laughed and replied, "I understand that Mr. and Mrs. Graham didn't want to make us nervous or anything."Cecily's happiness being the best gift of all was not simply just rhetoric.It was something that was simply just expected now that Cecily had married Austin.Th

Austin had been wondering about Sean for a long time.He always wondered why the Redmonts would remain quiet over the death of one of their major family members.Austin had already mentally prepared himself to face the wrath of the Redmonts the very night he rescued and sent Vincent to the hospital.What should have been a thunderous explosion coming from the Redmonts had been delayed up until now.And rather than taking matters into their own hands, the Redmonts had opted to make the news public first.Austin wondered if the Redmonts already knew what happened to Sean that night—and whether or not the rest of the aristocracy had also found out about what happened.He just could not comprehend the Redmont family's current actions.Ezra frowned and shook his head. "I also think that something's not right. Powerful families like the Redmonts often settle their grudges in secret, be it assassination or blackmailing to take revenge. I don't understand why the Redmonts had made it pu

Austin felt both a lump in his throat and a chill running down his spine as he pondered about Dorothy joining forces with the Redmonts.After bypassing Walter and the rest of the Campbells, Dorothy could utilize the Redmonts to do her bidding.The Redmonts were the richest family in Basin City, and they had basically become Austin's enemy after what happened to Vincent.If they were to join forces with Dorothy, their combined power may very well be extremely devastating.Austin lived with fear for the next few days, but he eventually managed to let go of it.He realized that he did not have to worry about something completely out of his control.Austin moved all of his energy and focus back onto his work, as well as preparations for his wedding with Cecily.Less than a month's time to prepare for a perfect wedding was certainly exhausting.But Austin couldn't change the decided date for the wedding either.Luckily, Ezra and Dahlia helped ease his troubles by handling the booki

Austin's voice sounded rather weak. Cecily rolled her eyes and replied, "Maybe the water was just too hot for the cup. It just happened to break into pieces the moment you picked it up. Why do I feel like you've been extremely nervous these days? What are you scared of?"Austin laughed as he realized that had been scaring himself for the past few days.Cecily pulled Austin into her arms. "Come on, cheer up! We're going to take our wedding photos soon, you're gonna look ugly in the photos if you're all depressed!"Austin finally laughed out loud.…The private jet finally landed at Harrington International Airport at ten in the morning.Ezra had already informed the nearby Campbell office of Austin's arrival before the flight.Austin, Cecily, Aldus, and Wolf left the airport in cars prepared by agents of the Campbell family and were brought to the Halle Bay Hotel.The presidential suite within the hotel included views of the beach and the sea.As a tourist destination, Harrin

Under the night sky, a gentle sea breeze blew.Austin and Cecily clasped their hands together for a stroll on the beach after enjoying a hearty meal.Aldus and Wolf had already left to meet up with the photography team that had just landed.The slightly salty sea breeze had cooled down the couple.Cecily suddenly stopped and looked up at Austin with eyes gleaming with hope. "Hey, Austin? Why don't we dance here?"Austin awkwardly shook his head. "But I don't know how to dance."He then scanned through his surroundings and shrugged. "Besides, there are so many strangers around us. It would be awkward."Cecily seemed a little disappointed as she pouted. "Alright."She let go of Austin's hand, put her hands behind her back, and started kicking at the sand as she continued forward.Austin tried to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth. He truly had no idea how to dance after all.He spent most of his time working and studying during his four years in college.He did j

"Sir, it's us!"Austin finally realized that the man before him was Aldus.And the other man currently covering Cecily's mouth was Wolf.Both of them looked extremely serious.Before Austin could ask anything, Aldus immediately led the couple into a nearby corner. "Please follow us."Austin was confused, but he reckoned something big must have happened from Aldus and Wolf's expressions. "What happened?"It would also explain why there were police cars in front of the hotel.He was mostly confused as to why Aldus and Wolf would react so violently when they were just trying to look at what was going on.Aldus' subsequent words would immediately cause Austin's heart to sink to the deepest depths. "They're here to capture you, sir."Austin was shocked beyond reason as he wondered if he had even committed any crimes in the first place.Cecily angrily retorted, "Capture him, why? They've probably got the wrong person!"They were both confused as to why the police were trying to ca

The sudden shouting took Austin by surprise.Both Aldus and Wolf immediately prepared to fight back."Stop it!" shouted Austin."Sir…""Mr. Campbell…"Both Aldus and Wolf became anxious as they turned to Austin.Austin watched as a group of police officers came running toward him before turning to Aldus and Wolf. "Do not move."Cecily's eyes turned red while her face turned pale from fear. "Austin…"Austin raised both his hands and turned around to kiss Cecily on the forehead. "Everything's fine. Just wait for me to come back, and we'll resume the wedding photoshoot, okay? After that, we'll be able to hold the wedding of our dreams."The couple stared at each other for a long while before Cecily nodded and replied, "Yes… Everything will be fine."The police officers arrived in front of them and proceeded to pin Aldus and Wolf onto the ground.The rest of the police officers surrounded Austin while one of them carefully examined Austin from head to toe before issuing orders.

It wasn't that Austin had never met a police officer, it was just that he had never met police officers with such attitudes.The most appropriate way to describe the police officers would be that they were all sloppy-looking individuals.It was a matter of temperament to still look like a thug even when they were dressed as officers of the law.Perhaps their disguise was enough to fool the average citizen. But Austin could tell that something wasn't right about them.Austin was rather skilled at recognizing someone's nature with his experience from work, and he had seen more than enough sloppy and disorganized thugs to recognize the police officers as one."Where are we going?" asked Austin."Shut up!" shouted the police officer in the passenger seat.It was apparent that he was the man calling the shots within the car.Austin frowned as he turned to look at the window.He realized that there was no longer as much traffic as before on the other side of the road.Similarly, ta
