Austin entrusted Matt with one of the areas in the west city slum redevelopment project.Matt wiped the sweat from his forehead."I just came back from the west city. The residents suddenly started causing trouble, claiming that the compensation we offered was too little. They didn't want to move."Austin's face darkened. "Slum redevelopment is a municipal project. The compensation is standardized. The compensation we're providing already exceeds the standard rates because Brock increased the amount by 30 million."Also, all the preparations for demolition and relocation have been prepared. The contracts are all signed. Why are they causing trouble all of a sudden?""I don't know."Matt looked helpless. "After the news of Wirtucon moving in spread, housing prices in the west city slum skyrocketed. I was worried that the residents might be dissatisfied with how much we gave them, so I looked into the opinions of the residents."Since our compensation exceeded the standard rates,

In the Palatial Club, after hanging up, Brock sneered and tossed his phone aside. "Damn it. Does he really think he's all that?"The situation in the west city slum was indeed orchestrated by him.In Brock's mind, Austin was just a former lackey who used to grovel at his side.Even though someone had assisted Austin in acquiring Dominion, Brock wouldn't allow a lapdog to climb over his head.Moreover, the last time in the alley outside the Palatial Club, Austin's men gave Brock a good beating.With Jacob's powerful backing, how could he not seek revenge for this grudge?He knew Austin had someone backing him up. But even so, could it compare to the support he had from Jacob?"Mr. Brock, what happened?" A heavily made-up woman was nestled in Brock's arms.He shrugged. "There's just a dog who thinks he's become something. Isn't that funny?"The woman traced circles on Brock's chest with her fingertips and cooed, "Mr. Brock ..."Brock raised an eyebrow. The frustration from a mo

Even though Austin had asked the owner of the housework agency to convey these things to Raquel before, he reiterated, "If you agree, the hiring process will be complete.""I agree." Raquel nodded without hesitation.Her expected monthly salary was 1,200 dollars, but Austin directly raised it to 1,500 dollars just to take care of a lady. This was like a godsent opportunity to her.After signing the contract, Austin took Raquel to Legacy Hospital.When they got into the cab, Raquel kept scrutinizing Austin with a peculiar gaze."What are you curious about?" Austin asked.Raquel was startled for a moment and quickly lowered her head."I'm sorry, Mr. Campbell. I know I shouldn't say this, but I'm just curious. You can spend 1,500 dollars to hire a caregiver, but you don't have your own car."Austin smiled casually. He only became wealthy half a month ago. After Dahlia's liver transplant surgery, all his energy was devoted to the west city slum redevelopment project. He really hadn

Finally, the guests arrived.Brock's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up, adjusting his suit along the way.Jacob brought him to such an occasion, clearly intending to mentor him.If he could gain the favor of the VIPs, his future career would become even smoother."Hmph, Austin, I have Jacob. As long as I want to climb higher, I can achieve that with a little help. What about you? Even if you buy Dominion, I can still deal with you!" Brock thought triumphantly.But when Brock saw the two people walking into the Collis Private Room, his mind suddenly exploded.The smile on his face vanished instantly, and his facial features twisted."W-Why is it you?"A cry of astonishment echoed in the Collis Private Room."Brock, why are you shouting like that?" Jacob pushed the gold-rimmed glasses up his nose.Smiling, he stood up from the main seat. "Welcome, Ezra, Austin. Have a seat.""Jacob, w-what …"Brock was on the verge of going crazy. He never expected that one of Jacob's VIPs

Jacob laughed heartily, inviting Ezra and Austin to take their seats.With Ezra's status, he had to sit in the main seat. However, when they took their seats, Ezra moved to the side, allowing Austin to sit in the main seat.This scene caused Jacob's pupils to contract, and his heart skipped a beat.The next moment, when he looked at Austin again, his eyes were filled with only confusion and shock.After seating themselves, Jacob looked coldly at Brock. "Brock, what did I just tell you?"Brock was on the verge of madness.How could he possibly entertain Austin?Having been arrogant at home, he became defiant when faced with Jacob's scolding."What? Do you want me to entertain Austin and pour wine for him? Why should I? When we were at Dominion, he worked under me!"With these words, the atmosphere in the entire room turned cold.Jacob's eyes widened, and his anger surged.At once, he slapped the table forcefully, making the plates clink."I dare you to say that again! I-I'm

"Ah!"Brock let out a miserable scream as he fell to the ground. His head was covered in a mixture of wine, blood, and broken glass shards.Horrified, he looked at Jacob. His facial features were gradually covered by blood, revealing a horrifying sight."Y-You hit me? I-I'll tell my sister!""You've committed an unforgivable sin. It wouldn't be wrong to beat you to death!"Sweating profusely, Jacob continued his assault on Brock. He shouted, "You offended Mr. Lockwood, and you're still acting so arrogantly. I'll divorce your sister later. Even if you tell the president, you'll need to apologize to Ezra and Austin!"His voice was ice-cold, leaving no doubt about the sincerity of his words.Brock's face was covered in blood, making him look gross and terrifying. His eyes became panicked as he looked at Jacob.His reliance was on his sister.For so many years, he had been able to linger in Jacob's company, enjoying a carefree life, all because of his sister's favor and Jacob's he

Brock dared to taunt Austin initially because he had Jacob. He believed that Austin was nothing more than a newly risen lapdog.However, he never expected that the person behind Austin was powerful enough to intimidate even Jacob.If given a second chance, he would definitely not have provoked Austin.Just then, Austin got up and kicked Brock, knocking him over."I said I could make you cry in a day, and I did. From now on, if you dare to cause trouble again, I don't mind making my promises even more cruel."Austin wasn't weak by nature. Over the past three years, he had endured helping Brock take the blame each time to treat Dahlia. Brock took advantage of this, exploiting it to his advantage time and time again.After the acquisition of Dominion, Brock conspired against Austin by having a blind date with Nancy, which Austin saw as a blatant insult.After Austin retaliated against him, Brock played tricks on the west city slum redevelopment project again, leading to the scene t

Raquel's words suddenly came to mind.Indeed, with so much money, there was no need to endure the discomfort of living in such a run-down place.While he could temporarily disregard getting a new car, the house needed an upgrade.He could manage.
