Austin squatted down in front of Fiona and then grabbed her by the collar before pulling her right in front of him.Another slap echoed across the room.And following it were Fiona's screams.Even Aldus and Wolf had to look away.Austin eventually opened his mouth to air his grievances. "If you hate me that much, come at me alone! I will never forgive anyone for harming any of my friends… Not even Dorothy herself!"Austin let go of Fiona's collar and let her fall back onto the floor without any hint of restraint.It would have been an extremely horrifying scene for anyone without any context.Arguably the most popular actress in the world was being beaten up to such an extent.Fiona gritted her teeth and shouted, "Who the fuck do you think you are, Austin? You're just an outsider, an animal! Mr. Walter may be protecting you, but no one else will do the same! You angered Grandma… That's why I'm taking revenge for her!"Austin could not help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.

The night was especially quiet.Inside their bedroom, the television was currently showing the news about the entertainment industry.It showed a group of reporters interviewing Fiona.Austin frowned as he stared at the television. He did not feel sleepy just yet.Cecily was nestled in his arms. "Why don't you go to sleep, honey?"Austin seemed a little sad. "Just a while more."Cecily glanced over at the television and said, "Everything's already settled, right? Mr. Lockwood's also made a full recovery now. Why are you still worried about Fiona?"A week had passed since Ezra was hospitalized.Thankfully, Ezra had managed to make a full recovery and had been discharged from the hospital.News about Austin and Fiona meeting up in front of Legacy Hospital had become viral news.Austin had also told Cecily about everything that happened to reassure her.Cecily also agreed with Austin that Fiona was a spoiled brat who had immaturely punished someone close to Austin rather than f

The West City slum redevelopment project was nearing its end. The development of the other nearby properties remained in steady progress after the initial launch.Even Reginald and Jacob, who had helped Austin acquire the land needed for the project, had gained quite a lot of benefits from the project.Meanwhile, Vincent and Iris' combined efforts had also re-established their financial company.With the Redmont family's finance companies now under their belt, they quickly made a name for themselves within the industry.Vincent and Iris also became celebrities of sorts within the finance industry.Everything in life was slowly but surely moving onto greener pastures.This very morning, Austin held a meeting with the company's middle management and made a decision on Dominion Properties' future directives.As he returned to his office, his phone started ringing with a call from an unknown number.Austin frowned, but he still picked up the call.An insane bark of laughter came b

As night fell, Austin brought Wolf with him to meet up with Fiona as promised.They were to meet up at a luxury restaurant.Within the building were beautiful, soothing lights paired with melodious music.It was quite the mood.And yet, the restaurant was completely empty as the music echoed across the entire place.A waiter then stepped forward to greet Austin. "Please follow me, Mr. Austin."Austin was surprised. "You know who I am?"The waiter smiled and explained, "Ms. Fiona has booked out the entire restaurant tonight, sir. You're the only guest aside from her."He then turned to Wolf and explained, "I'm sorry, sir. But Ms. Fiona only invited Mr. Austin alone. Please wait outside."Wolf nodded and turned around to sit down by the entrance.He was not concerned about having a meal as he was simply there to be Austin's bodyguard."Dinner for my friend, too, please. The password's 6 'sixes'." Austin handed his card to the waiter before heading inside to find Fiona.The ce

Melodious music continued to echo throughout the restaurant.The single dining table seeing any action tonight was completely silent other than the sound of knives and forks scraping against the dinner plate, as well as the occasional sound of the two patrons clinking their glasses from time to time.Fiona's exquisite face soon turned red as she started getting a bit tipsy.She eventually broke the silence. "Actually, you're kinda hot, Austin."She held up her chin with her hand as she stared at Austin with a smile.Austin coldly replied, "So, you're saying that you've fallen for me?"Fiona snorted as she poured herself a glass of red wine. "Maybe you're right."Austin put down his cutlery and stared at Fiona with a frown.He could not figure out just what Fiona was thinking despite his experience with all sorts of peculiar characters.Austin felt as if he was staring into the abyss. Not even Mason nor Taylor had given him such a difficult time.Fiona continued to enjoy her g

Wolf had been smoking by himself as he waited by the entrance.He had nothing else to do after all.He glanced at the ashtray beside him and realized that it was already filled to the brim. He then looked at his pack of cigarettes and realized that the one in his mouth was already the last one.Two hours had passed. He felt that dinner should not be taking so long.Wolf turned to look within the restaurant and saw that the lights were still on, but he did not have a clear line of sight to Austin's table.He yawned and lazily stretched his body.Suddenly, the music blasting through the restaurant came to an abrupt halt.The waiter who greeted Austin when they arrived came out of the restaurant with a chain lock to close the restaurant.Wolf was stunned. "Hold on a second, mate. My boss is still having dinner inside, why are you closing already?""Your boss?" The waiter smiled. "Oh… Mr. Austin and Ms. Fiona already left an hour ago."Wolf was shocked beyond relief. "Wait, that'

After thoroughly scrutinizing his surroundings in the restaurant, Wolf discovered that all the CCTVs were either broken or redirected to face other directions. This discovery threw Ezra and Aldus into panic mode. It was as clear as day that someone had planned this beforehand. And it was precisely that it was planned before this that both Ezra and Aldus started being anxious. It was as if all the clues had suddenly vanished. Even Ezra, with all his strength, wouldn't be able to do much about it. Worst of all, they couldn't make sure that Austin was safe. In the span of a night, a determined Ezra tried all means and dispatched all the manpower he could to investigate the matter although they still couldn't find out anything. On the same night, he even had the consul from a nearby city come over to look into it. The sun gradually made its ascent into the sky. It was finally dawn. Ezra sat on a chair on the balcony, looking worn out. A dozen mobile phones were placed on the

The title of the article that the notification showed was straightforward and blunt. The words came at Austin like bolts of lightning that zapped and hurt his eyes. Stunned, he stared blankly at the screen. A moment later, a shadow fell across his face. It was such a devious plan! Was the person behind this trying to ruin his reputation for good? Austin swiped the notification away. He didn't open it. A while later, he snapped back into reality. It occurred to him that this was all Fiona's plan! The news was a fatal blow to him. On the surface, Fiona pretended to be innocent and naive. In truth, she was a cunning, manipulative woman. She was a rising star. In just a year, she'd managed to gain popularity so quickly and become famous faster than any other artist. The media reported everything she did as soon as they could. Needless to say, the news about her abduction made the headlines. The title of the article might be short, but it was enough to garner the fury of her
