Winner Takes All Chapter 591
Tears streamed down Fiona's face as she bit her lip. She was overwhelmingly upset and displeased with this.She'd risked her reputation in making this bet because she wanted to defeat Austin for good. She did this to take revenge for Grandma and to mete out justice for the entire Campbell family. Besides, if she succeeded in toppling Austin this time, she'd have a better chance to become the head of the family in the future. However, she never thought that Dorothy, who'd pampered her all along, would tell her to stop what she was doing. She was a celebrity who was proud of her acting skills in the entertainment industry, yet Dorothy didn't even bat an eye. To Dorothy, being an actress was a despicable job! It never crossed Fiona's mind that Austin could turn the tables and use the public outrage to his advantage to strike back. He purposely slandered her by starting the scandal about her. However, the real deal was when the Campbell family was brought up and dragged into thi

Although Fiona lost this time, Austin's reputation was greatly affected. He wasn't concerned about this, though. What he cared about was Cecily's thoughts and how horrible she felt. There might be lots of pretty women out there, but she was the only one he cared about. "Once the dust has settled, I'll find the chance to explain it all to Cecily," said Austin with a sigh. "She'd suffered way too much for me." Sometime later, Vincent called Austin. Austin could hear the relief in Vincent's voice through the phone. After all this time, the Coopers and the Clarks still didn't stop making things worse for Fiona. They wanted things to go out of control so that Fiona would never be able to rise back up. Vincent himself approved of this. Austin himself didn't object to that idea either. He decided to agree to it. Fiona had never thought of showing Austin mercy when she'd started carrying out her plan. Meanwhile, Austin wasn't a good Samaritan who'd forgive anyone and everyone. Si

It was dark in the bedroom. The only source of light was the lamp on the bedside table. Cecily leaned against the headboard, looking all worn out. Still, there wasn't a trace of drowsiness on her face or in her bloodshot eyes. Her gaze was empty and obsolete, the sorrow in it enough to make anyone's heart break for her. For the past three days, she'd spent her time staring blankly into space just like this. She tried suppressing and pushing away her feelings because she knew a scandal like that affected Austin very badly, so badly that it could cost him his life. If she couldn't contain her emotions, it'd cause him to sink deeper into the puddle of murky water that was trying to consume him. Cecily was his wife. If she wouldn't help him, no one else would. With her last ounce of rationality, she convinced herself that, at a time like this, she had to stay by his side and quietly provide him with her support. She understood how Austin managed to make it to this day. She knew

At long last, the video was over. Silence consumed the bedroom once more. Cecily stared ahead unmovingly with tears still streaming down her face. Austin fished out a packet of tissues from his pocket, plucked a few out of it, and dabbed them gently at the corners of her eyes.In a gentle tone, he started to say, "To be honest—" But Cecily's cries cut him short, stunning him. Before he could react, she threw herself into his arms and cried her lungs out. "You jerk! You're an idiot! I knew it!" she cried. "I knew you weren't that kind of man! Do you know how much I've suffered for the past few days? Do you know how many times I was going to break down?" Austin's mind went blank when he heard her sobs and felt her body tremble in his embrace. It was as if the frost covering his heart had suddenly melted at once. With the gentlest of touches, he wrapped his arms around her and patted her back to bring her comfort. "It's alright now. Everything okay now," he said, trying to co

Neither of them spoke all night. Cecily and Austin slept soundly that night. They'd been put under immense pressure for the past few days. Now that the misunderstanding was finally settled, the two of them could finally relax. Early the next morning, Raquel prepared loads of food for breakfast. She knew that everyone in the house hadn't eaten much these few days.Since the dust had settled, it was high time she took care of everyone's diets. Ezra and Aldus went downstairs at almost the same time. When he saw the table laden with food, Ezra laughed heartily and praised her for her thoughtfulness. "You're so thoughtful, Raquel. You knew we hadn't eaten well recently, so you prepared quite the feast for us today, didn't you?" he said with a smile. "You flatter me, Ezra. Everyone's been so anxious these days. I got anxious too," she explained with a hint of regret. "This is the most I can do to help you guys." Everyone in the house had been busy helping Austin to solve the pro

Austin had won, and the misunderstanding between him and Cecily was resolved. He was more than content with this outcome. He wasn't bothered by anything else for now. He drove Cecily's Porsche 911 straight to the biggest shopping mall in the city. The mall was located in a central business district that was similar to Wirtucon Square. People could find lots of food and entertainment and have a whale of a time there. The mall was always packed with people. After parking the car, Cecily took Austin's hand and ran out of the mall. "Cecily, there's an escalator here. We can enter the mall straight away," said Austin, puzzled as to why she was heading the other way. "I don't want to go through that door," she told him. "I want to walk in through the main entrance. You said you're going to accompany me today, so you have to listen to me."She added, "I want you to keep me company as I visit every single store in the mall. You can't break your promise to me." Cecily tossed him

A few hours later, Austin felt as though his limbs were going to detach themselves from his body and fall apart. Still, Cecily seemed as energetic as when they'd just entered the mall. She looked like she'd gained renewed enthusiasm after entering each store in the mall. Austin started to wonder if he'd end up like the poor puppy he saw not long ago. He took a deep breath and said, "Cecily, it's about time we rested for a bit and had lunch." "Oh right. I forgot about that," Cecily laughed and patted her forehead at her forgetfulness. "Sorry, honey. What do you want for lunch? It's my treat! Take it as compensation for having to accompany me all morning." "What do you want to eat?" Austin repeated her question. "I'm fine with anything.""How about barbeque?" Austin suggested, to which Cecily shook her head and replied, "The smell will stick to my clothes. I won't be able to enjoy shopping later." A wave of helplessness washed over Austin. She was quite the cheeky one. "

His snide remarks gained the attention of many around them. Some passers-by stopped to watch. Cecily's beauty was like a star shining brightly in the night sky. Any person who laid their eyes on her would agree that she was pretty, but they'd merely admire her beauty from afar. No one dared to be so imprudent and impertinent as the middle-aged man. Some of the onlookers looked at Austin with sympathy in their eyes. To them, Austin was going to be humiliated so badly, and his confidence would be squashed into oblivion. At first glance, they knew that the middle-aged man was a rich guy who came from a prominent background. No one would try to make trouble for him. Now, some of the onlookers started gossiping among themselves. The moment the words left the middle-aged man's mouth, a shadow fell across Austin's face. A sheen of frost appeared in his eyes. Cecily, on the other hand, couldn't stifle her laughter any longer. She looked at the man, amused."What do you mean by tha
