Winner Takes All Chapter 682
Edward was already the head of an international conglomerate. Even Jacob, a local business mogul, was but a small fry in comparison.Being received by Ezra was, in fact, fitting given his stature.Austin wasn't surprised but rather impressed by the strict hierarchy of the Campbells.Even the reception of guests was rigidly regulated by rank, something unheard of even among the wealthiest families like the Emersons and the Redmont family.Watching the various expressions on the faces of those in the transport vehicles, Austin felt a pang of reflection.It truly exemplified the saying "Some things you are born with, while others you will never have in your lifetime."These people were racking their brains to knock on the doors of the Campbell residence, while he could enter without notifying anyone.Birthright could indeed make a world of difference!However, when their vehicle reached the archway of the Campbell Residence, it was stopped by a group of Campbell guards."How dare

Illegitimate child?!Austin's face turned icy, his heart filled with anger. His hands quietly clenched into fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.Sensing the chill in the air, Raquel glanced at Austin with alarm. Ezra and Aldus's expressions grew even darker.This was happening right in front of the Campbell Residence archway, where many people were coming and going.Calling Austin an "illegitimate child" was a blatant insult, a harsh humiliation. It was even at the expense of the Campbells' reputation!"Mr. Taylor." The young servant immediately felt relieved and sycophantically called out to him.Among the onlookers, many were there to seek for a meeting. Taylor's appearance drew their excited attention, their eyes filled with hope.But Taylor's words shocked everyone, abruptly quashing their thoughts of ingratiating themselves and turning them into mere spectators."Taylor, you are part of the elite of the Campbells, one of the successors. Such language is incre

Perhaps the pent-up frustration from countless failed attempts to gain entry had built up in the onlookers. Seeing someone finally challenge the Campbells gave them a sense of vicarious satisfaction.After all... watching a spectacle was always enjoyable"Throw him out!" Taylor shouted angrily at the hesitant servants.The servants hesitated for a moment but then started moving toward the vehicle."Aldus, stand down!" Austin commanded coldly.In front of everyone, he calmly stepped out of the vehicle. His expression was stern, and his demeanor radiated unparalleled authority.At that moment, Austin's entire presence changed, becoming as imposing as a mountain and as vast as the ocean. His eyes turned sharp and piercing.With his hands in his pockets, he walked leisurely toward the young servants, his gaze so fierce it seemed it could kill gods."I dare you to try and touch me!" His arrogant tone left everyone stunned.The young servants were completely stunned, unable to meet

Bang!The sound of a face slamming into a stone pillar was like a thunderclap, making everyone present shudder simultaneously.Ruthless and decisive.At this moment, Austin made everyone's backs go cold as if they had fallen into an icy pit.Even the wealthy onlookers, accustomed to all kinds of turmoil, were shocked and terrified by Austin's action.This... was too ruthless, too wild!How dare he be so disrespectful to the Campbell heir in front of the Campbell Residence?"Pathetic." Austin released his grip on Taylor's neck.Without support, Taylor's body went limp like a shrimp and collapsed to the ground.His once-handsome, devilish face was covered in blood, his nose crushed and clearly broken. He looked utterly miserable and pathetic.At this moment, Taylor's eyes were empty and dazed, completely terrified.Was this the same Austin from before? The one who used to be a coward, relying on Aldus for help?With the sharp pain on his face, Taylor finally came to his sense

"Since we're here, why should we leave?" Austin laughed in anger."Taylor insulted me as an illegitimate child and barred me from entering the Campbell Residence. Shouldn't I fight back? If he won't let me in, then I'll force my way through the gates!"With that, Austin turned with imposing authority and started walking toward the Campbell Residence.Ezra and Aldus exchanged a glance and followed suit.Raquel looked around briefly and was about to follow when she suddenly caught sight of something, her face instantly changing."My purpose here is twofold. First, to visit my father out of filial piety! Second, to uncover the truth for myself. Even if the Campbells are as mighty as the heavens, I'll break through and march right in!"Austin's aura was overwhelming, as if he could move mountains, making heart race.Step by step, he walked unhurriedly, as if taking a casual stroll, without a trace of panic.Ezra and Aldus followed closely, beads of sweat, already forming on their f

Mason's expression was sinister.Watching the frail figure in the church, he couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph.In the Campbells, provoking Dorothy's wrath meant that not even the mightiest could save him!When he forced his way into the Campbell Residence and crippled Taylor, he should have known that with Walter injured and recovering, Dorothy was the one in charge!"Mason!" Dorothy's voice was cold and sharp.Mason quickly bowed. "Grandma, I'm here.""Close the doors and refuse all guests!" Her voice was as sharp as a knife.Mason's eyes gleamed brightly as he loudly complied and quickly left.Inside the church, Dorothy's gaze was icy, a chilling light emanating from her eyes.She glanced down at the scattered rosary beads and then looked up at the statue, murmuring guiltily. "God, it's not that I'm ruthless, but Austin is too cruel. After today, I will return to the church, bathe, and fast."With that, she waved her hand.Two young maidservants hurried forward, h

A wave of despair washed over the big shots.They were filled with regret and remorse, realizing that if they hadn't paused out of curiosity and had instead focused on their own affairs, their long-awaited goals might have been achieved by now.Now, they were abruptly interrupted and driven out of the Campbell Residence……With a cold and determined expression, Austin walked steadily toward the Campbell Residence, exuding an overwhelming aura.Behind them, Ezra, Aldus, and Raquel followed in silence.As they listened to the distant, deafening commotion, Ezra and Aldus's faces grew increasingly grim, their eyes filled with deep, unhidden worry.The noise grew louder and louder.In their view, a dense crowd had gathered on both sides of the green corridor, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.When Austin, along with Ezra, Aldus, and Raquel, entered the green corridor, a furious shout erupted from the crowd."There he is!"Swish!Instantly, all eyes turned fiercely tow

The voice was like thunder, striking fear into everyone's heart.The indignant Campbells were instantly shocked.To the ordinary family members and servants, Austin was an untouchable mystery.Walter's son, one of the heirs?! How could that be?The list of Campbells' heirs had long been established, and Walter had always been a solitary and unworldly figure.Where did this son come from? Where did this heir come from?But it was Ezra who said this, Walter's trusted servant, someone who would never lie about such matters.In fact, when Austin arrived with Ezra and Aldus, many had noticed the two men and felt both shocked and uncertain.However, Austin's arrogant and outrageous behavior quickly drew all attention away from scrutinizing Ezra and Aldus.Now, with Ezra stepping forward and scolding the crowd, everyone was left terrified and panicked.The glares directed at Austin began to change.Shock, astonishment, disbelief, and even a flicker of excitement appeared in some ey

I'm here with you, and we have our baby on the way.""I can't just let it go," Austin shook his head."The best I can do is not seek revenge against them, but to truly forgive and forget—I can't do that."The actions of Nancy's family were still fresh in his memory.Austin wasn't someone who sought revenge for every slight, but he was far from the kind of person who could simply forgive and forget, moving on with a carefree "Hallelujah."Dahlia's despair as she lay in bed, the arrogance and cruelty of the Welch family…In the eyes of the Welch family, Dahlia's life wasn't worth as much as Harvey's wedding.Even when the time had passed and he was about to finally be happy with Cecily, the Welch family not only dem

After leaving this city, Nancy put in a tremendous amount of effort to "rebirth" herself.Meeting Ethan had shown her a different side of life.While he wasn't part of the uppermost echelons of wealth and power, he had enough. Most importantly, he treated her with the utmost respect.She understood Ethan's background, which made that respect all the more valuable.A man of his stature could have any woman he wanted in his bed the same night.Yet Ethan had shown her incredible patience, making her question whether the rumors about him were true.Tonight, returning to this city was her way of bidding farewell to the past and embracing the future.After all, people need to look forward, don't they?Meanwhile, Ethan was feeling more dejected than he'd ever been.Lying in his luxurious bed in Brook Villa, he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning restlessly.He had hoped to establish a connection with Austin.

The river breeze was cool, and the lights reflected on the water flickered softly.The figure in front of them wore a long black coat, standing quietly by the railing. Her fair, delicate profile, partially obscured by a few strands of windblown hair, carried a hint of melancholy."Sir, Mrs. Campbell, is something wrong?" Aldus noticed the change and quickly stepped forward to inquire."Let's go home," Austin suddenly said, his previously cheerful expression now somber, with a touch of disdain.Go home? They had just arrived.Aldus was surprised and quickly followed Austin's gaze. When he saw what Austin was looking at, he immediately understood.Without a word, he turned to leave with Austin.But a soft hand gently grabbed Austin's arm."It's been so many years, aren't you going to say hello?" Cecily asked."I have no desire to greet her," Austin said, his disdain clear and unhidden.Three years of marriage, filled with nothing but pain.Even when Dahlia was gravely ill, Nan

After a busy day, just as Austin was about to finish up, a new invitation appeared on his desk."Who delivered this?" Austin asked."Ethan," Wolf replied.Austin chuckled, didn't bother opening the invitation, and instead tossed it directly into the trash."I've got to get home to Cecily."When he returned to the Bamboo Parlor at Tetra Club, Raquel had already prepared a delicious dinner.The dishes were beautifully presented, with vibrant colors and enticing aromas.After dinner, Austin and Ezra stepped out into the courtyard."Mr. Lockwood, any news from the Campbells about my dad?" Austin asked, the text message from Walter still weighing heavily on his mind.Considering the Campbells' efforts to find Walter, and given their intelligence resources, they should have been some leads by now.But Ezra shook his head. "Nothing, Not a trace.""The Campbells' intelligence network has never been this weak, has it?" Austin frowned, speaking in a low tone.Ezra gave a wry smile. "

"Childhood?"Austin stopped his workout, wiped the sweat from his face, and smiled bitterly.His childhood had been bleak.Only Dahlia had brought some light into the darkness.Seeing Austin's pained smile, Aldus immediately realized his mistake.He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Sir. I spoke without thinking. You don't need to answer that.""It's fine," Austin replied, gesturing towards a nearby bench, and inviting Aldus to sit with him.Once they were seated, Austin slowly began to speak. "There's not much to tell about my childhood. It was mostly just being called an 'illegitimate child' and living day to day, never knowing where my next meal would come from."If it weren't for my mom fighting tooth and nail to raise me, I'd probably be dead by now."With just a few simple words, he conveyed a world of suffering.Aldus felt a wave of guilt. He had only been trying to find clues from Austin's past that might explain his exceptional combat instincts and incredible physical

Austin's gaze softened as warmth flooded his heart.Who hasn't longed for a light left on just for them in a sea of lights? But in reality, how many actually have that?Cecily did that for him.Given her background, the fact that she went to such lengths truly surprised Austin.In the three years he spent in the past, he had never experienced something like this.His nose tingled with emotion as he pulled Cecily into his arms, speaking softly, "Thank you. Marrying you is the greatest fortune of my life.""Alright, alright, I asked Raquel to prepare breakfast earlier this morning. You go to the dining room, and I'll have her bring it over," Cecily said as she gently slipped out of Austin's embrace, her graceful smile lighting up her eyes."Doesn't Bamboo Parlor have a kitchen?" Austin asked, curious.Cecily gave him a playful look. "The chairs in the living room are so hard, and you spent the whole night on one—how could you have slept well? If Raquel had been clattering around

The room fell into a heavy silence."Deactivating the phone number… was Dad trying to prevent me from tracking his location?" Austin murmured with a frown.Ezra pondered for a moment, his voice low and serious. "Perhaps he was more concerned about someone else tracking him."Austin's eyes widened in realization.Of course—if Walter could send him a message to let him know he was safe, he wouldn't be worried about Austin tracking himDeactivating the phone was likely to prevent others from tracing his location."But who is he trying to avoid?"Ezra shook his head, remaining silent.Having followed Walter for many years, he knew the man's temperament and habits. But this time, he was truly baffled.He couldn't even begin to piece together a clue.Taking a deep breath, Ezra forced a bitter smile. "I'm afraid I'm at a loss this time, sir. There's no sign of anything unusual from the Campbells either."This statement only deepened Austin's confusion.If there were anyone who cou

Austin knocked softly on the door.Almost immediately, he heard the sound of shuffling from inside.Ezra opened the door, his face full of curiosity. "Sir, what's going on?"Austin quickly made a shushing gesture, worried about disturbing Cecily.Then he gently pushed Ezra back into the room."Sorry to bother you so late, Mr. Lockwood," Austin said.Ezra smiled. "It's no trouble at all. The older you get, the less you need. I was just reading."Austin glanced at the book on Ezra's bedside table and couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.This old rascal!Ezra blushed and quickly shoved the book under his pillow.Austin sat on the bed and pulled up the text message from Walter, showing it to Ezra."I just received this message."When Ezra read the text, his eyes lit up with a sharp gleam, and he was overjoyed. "This is from Mr. Walter!"Austin nodded, his expression serious. "But I've sent several messages back, and there's been no reply. I called twice—once it was immedi
