Raquel did not intend to dodge as she faced Harvey's swinging fists. She used to be a national-level boxing athlete.She was not afraid of a fistfight.Not to mention, she would be in the same weight group as Harvey.With a quick move to the side, Raquel dodged Harvey's fist.She lowered her body and swung her fist. Bang!She punched Harvey in the stomach.Harvey shouted in pain as he held his stomach and took three steps back. Then, he squatted down on the floor.Raquel's actions had been sharp and precise.Raquel stood up and arranged her hair. She smiled with contempt and said, "Back then, I could have fought with ten of you!" "You motherfu—"Harvey held his stomach. He wanted to shout at her, but he felt like someone was twisting his intestines together. He was in so much pain that he could not speak.He never thought a woman like Raquel would be able to knock him down with a single punch. "Now, get the fuck out of here!"Raquel grabbed Harvey by the collar and t
Raquel's violent actions shocked everyone there."Get out! I told you to get the fuck out!"Raquel pushed Harvey in the chest.Dahlia could not get upset. If Harvey continued to make a scene, the consequences might be dire.Raquel turned around to see Dahlia crying and trembling. She quickly ran up to Dahlia to comfort her."Madam Emerson, it's alright. I'm here now. Nothing will happen to you!""What can you do? You're just a caregiver!" Harvey shouted angrily.He had always been spoilt as a kid. Now that he had finally seen through Austin's "facade", he wanted to demand answers.He could not stand being treated like that."Stop making a scene. Madam Emerson can't get too upset. You're just hurting her." Raquel pleaded."Hurting her? Her death will have nothing to do with me!"Harvey waved his hand. "You and your son come from the countryside. You tried to mooch off my family. "Your bastard of a son nearly used up our family's wealth to save your stupid life. Doesn't he f
Isaac's words shocked everyone present.They never thought Harvey, who complained against injustice, would have done such a thing.Instantly, all of the judgment and pointed looks fell on Harvey.Harvey's face turned red as he became speechless.He glared at Raquel harshly before turning to leave.Raquel hurriedly entered Dahlia's ward. She gently patted Dahlia's back as she comforted her. "Madam Emerson, you need to be more careful of your health. I'll go and inform Austin about what had happened."Dahlia stopped Raquel. Dahlia took a deep breath and said, "Don't. Don't tell him anything. I-I'm fine.""But …" Raquel was hesitant.Dahlia shook her head. "Austin is working too hard. There's no need to alarm him about what happened.Then, Isaac entered the ward. He frowned as he looked at Dahlia with concern. "Mrs. Emerson, I need to run a few tests on you. I'll help you keep this incident a secret from Mr. Campbell after ensuring you're healthy."Harvey rushed back to Ur
"That's enough, Harv!"Nancy gritted her teeth, sounding aggrieved. "I know you want to get married as soon as possible. Let me handle Austin. "You should just relax and take care of Mom. Don't tell Mom and Dad about this. I don't want to get them to work up over this."Then, she turned around to leave.Harvey still looked angry. "Handle this? If you could handle it, why would you choose to trick Susie? Our family would not be in such a bad place if you could handle it."However, Nancy had already left and did not hear Harvey's words.…Back at Dominion Properties, Austin had been busy with work.The west city slum redevelopment project had his full attention.Although he had settled the problem with the extravagant cost of the proposal, he still had a lot of things to do.He had to start with the construction and pre-sales as soon as possible!The project would only stabilize itself when money flowed into his account.Only then would he be able to meet his father.Ding
After running multiple tests, it was clear that Dahlia was still in good shape.However, Raquel and Isaac were still worried about her.When Austin arrived at the hospital at night, neither Raquel nor Dahlia mentioned the incident.As a mother, she felt sorry for her son.Dahlia knew how hard Austin was working. She didn't want to burden him any further.Raquel came close to mentioning it as she looked at Austin. However, Dahlia's words caused her to hold it in."Austin, you seem exhausted recently."Dahlia looked at her son and felt her heart break. Her eyes turned slightly red.Her surgery and Austin's divorce had all happened within a month.Both issues were enough to make a normal person fall under heavy pressure.Not to mention, Austin was shouldering the burden alone. He was also busy working hard to pay her extensive medical bills."Mom, I'm alright."Austin smiled. His mother's health was slowly improving with each day, lessening the burden in his heart.As for bei
Ezra explained patiently, "Mr. Walter wants you to return to become the family's head. At the same time, other family members also want that position."The head of the family will hold immense wealth. Who wouldn't want such a position? "The fight for the position has always been fierce. You have become a problem in their eyes now.""What can they do? Kill me?" Austin smiled amusingly.Ezra did not answer, but he gave a small nod.Austin immediately swallowed back his smile. The question was no longer as funny as he thought it to be.People would do anything for money, even at the cost of their lives.Not to mention that this mysterious family seemed to be filthy rich. Killing someone was nothing to people in high society."Aldus!" Ezra suddenly shouted out."Yes, Mr. Lockwood."On the driver seat of the Rolls-Royce, a big burly man answered Ezra.Austin frowned. He wasn't Ezra's previous driver.Aldus looked scary and intimidating. The air around him was fierce and overwhe
After saying their goodbyes to Ezra, Austin and Aldus returned to Austin's rented house.The simplicity of Austin's house shocked Aldus."Do you think it is too crude?" Austin asked.Aldus shook his head and said, "Sir, you've worked hard for the past few years."Austin smiled. He liked Aldus' personality. Aldus knew what to say and what not to say.According to Ezra, Aldus would be by his side for some time. Things would be troublesome if he did not like Aldus."The house is slowly being filled with people. I've already bought a new place. We'll be able to move next month," Austin said with a smile.Although Heavensgate villa was extravagantly priced, one of the reasons was due to the villas being designed by multiple well-known interior designers to design the whole place.That was to allow the whole place to have a similar style and let the owner have a much more pleasurable experience.In other words, Austin only needed to buy some furniture. Then, he'll be able to move in
The shadow looked ferocious under the dim lighting.Austin wasn't able to get a good look at his face.Austin suddenly remembered Ezra's words as he watched the shadow run toward him.The man before him … would kill him.The piercing cold immediately shot to his head.Suddenly, the shadow appeared before him. The shadow lifted his leg and aimed straight at his head.Was he going to get killed?Austin's eyes widened. During their small exchange, he knew his opponent's strength was on a different level than his. His life was on the line.Austin watched as a new shadow appeared before him.The new shadow that had suddenly appeared immediately bent down and used his shoulder to stop the man's leg from striking Austin's head."Fuck off!"The black shadow caught the man's leg and threw it.With pure strength, the black shadow threw the attacker away.After landing on the ground, the attacker rolled on the ground a few times before coming to a stop."Aldus!"Aldus stood tall
