Winner Takes All Chapter 81
There was an awkwardness in the air.Cecily's face changed as she hadn't expected to see Nancy at the hospital.Austin, on the other hand, looked indifferent. He looked at the thermos flask in Nancy's hand, feeling a sense of melancholy.In the past three years, no matter how ill his mom became, Nancy had never worried about her. But now, she was taking such good care of his mom.After all, before their divorce, Austin's mom was also Nancy's mom.However, Austin had also come to terms with it. The Welch family had never considered him and his mom as family members. It seemed completely normal for Nancy to give her younger brother the money that was supposed to be his mom's medical fees so that her younger brother could use it as a down payment for a house. She had never thought about his mom.Nancy looked at Cecily in astonishment. Her mind went blank.If they hadn't bumped into each other at the hospital, she wouldn't have known that Cecily was back in the country.What she

Urma shrieked loudly.Derek, who was standing beside her, looked distressed. His gaze was fierce. It was as if he wanted to devour Austin and Cecily in one bite.Suddenly, Austin burst into laughter.He stared at Urma fiercely and said, "Urma, are you a dog? Do you try to bite whoever you see? Who is bullying who now? Are you blind?""Who are you talking to? How dare you speak to me like that?" Urma widened her eyes."I'm talking to you!" Austin said coldly.In the past, because of Nancy, he had always endured mistreatment from the Welch family.But now that they were divorced, why should he continue to tolerate it?"Austin! Shut up! She is my mother!" Nancy cried and stomped her foot angrily. "You're a bastard! And you, Cecily, are a bitch. You two planned this a long time ago!"She reacted this way not only because she was angry with Cecily for not telling her that she was back and meeting up with Austin first, but also because Nancy knew that Austin had deliberately planned

The Porsche 911 got on the road.Inside the car, Austin gratefully said to Cecily, "Thank you for earlier."What Cecily did earlier caught him off guard.From what he remembered, this was the only time Cecily had lost her composure.But Austin understood that everything she did was to help him."The Welch family has gone overboard," Cecily said. She was clearly still angry. "I feel sorry for all the times you've suffered under their roof."Austin smiled, "But you looked cute when you were angry."Ever since Nancy took away the 200 thousand dollars that was supposed to be for his mom, Austin had completely lost hope in the Welch family and Nancy.Nancy didn't care about his mom. He realized that no matter how much he loved Nancy, he couldn't accept her anymore.Whether it was because of what the Welch family did or Nancy's cruel personality, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Cecily had done.In fact, if Cecily hadn't done that, he would probably have reacted i

Austin smiled and jokingly said, "Why do you make it sound so serious? Do I still have that much charm?""I don't even know when I fell in love with you," Cecily said while sobbing. Her voice was filled with pity and helplessness.Love knew no reason, but it ran deep …Austin hesitated.Suddenly, he didn't know how to respond to Cecily.Seeing that Austin was hesitating, Cecily suddenly threw herself at him.Their eyes met, and the dim yellow streetlights cast a faint glow on Cecily's face, making her look pitiful and enchanting.She held Austin's face in her hands. Her red lips were trembling, "I don't care about your past. I only want to have a future with you. I want to help you reach your full potential and go to places you're meant to go, instead of being with Nancy and her family, who only know how to take advantage of you."After saying that, she leaned forward.And … she kissed him.In that instant, Austin's body stiffened. He felt the softness on his lips, and his mi

Cecily's reply left Austin puzzled.When he returned to his rented room, the lights were still on.Aldus sat on the couch with his eyes closed.Austin smiled and asked, "Aldus, you haven't slept yet?""Sir, Ezra called," Aldus opened his eyes and said with a serious tone.He continued, "Ezra rushed back to the family home overnight. And Taylor also hasn't left Isonburg."Austin asked, "What happened?"Ezra was the assistant sent by his father, whom he had never met. For him to return to the family home so suddenly meant that something must have happened.Moreover, it had to be related to Taylor. Otherwise, Aldus wouldn't have mentioned both of them together."I don't know yet," Aldus shook his head, "but from what Ezra said over the phone, it seems to be related to Taylor."Suddenly, Austin found it somewhat amusing.A father he had never met wanted him to return to inherit the family fortune. But now, Ezra had to return to the family home overnight just because of what Tayl

She had not a single idea about the boycott notice on Dominion Properties from beginning to end.Dave signed the notice as a representative of her and Dominion!"Ms. Graham, this is a standard industry practice. Dominion has offended the industry."Dave pretended to be caught in a dilemma and said, "If we don't do this, we will also be boycotted by other colleagues. Although Yandell is the top material supplier in Isonburg, we cannot bear such pressure."After a pause, Dave lowered his voice a bit, seemingly complaining, "Moreover, the contract we signed with Dominion was already at an extremely low price. This will lead to more competition in the industry. This is an opportunity for us to terminate the contract.""Do you think I'm a toddler?" Cecily was furious.She pointed her finger at the folder. "The contract has already been signed, and you're telling me about the boycott now? Even if Yandell has to pay a price to work with Dominion, so what? Dominion is a golden goose. Sud

After Austin left the company, Matt clapped and said, "Did you all hear that? Austin will find a solution. Back then, he mentioned that the west city slum redevelopment project wouldn't suffer any losses. I'm sure everyone knew how it went, right? We have to believe in him, so let's get to work now!"The anxious employees smiled in response. Ever since Austin bought Dominion and the property prices in west city skyrocketed, their trust in him peaked.A cab zoomed across Heavensgate Residence and halted before the front gate of a villa. As Austin emerged from the car, he glanced at the villa before him. Shortly after, his gaze roved over another villa in the distance.He remembered he'd bought that one.He flashed a confident smile as he remarked, "Taylor, no matter how powerful you are, you can't unleash your full potential here. There's no way you can have your way here."From what Aldus told him last night and what happened this afternoon, it was easy for him to guess that i

Austin smiled and replied, "I'm always grateful to have Mr. Lockwood, but if I ask him for help every single time something happens, then all his guidance and mentorship will be in vain.""Haha … you're right."Jacob smiled, his eyes flickering as he continued, "It's just like how I guided you back then. If I didn't give you the opportunity to showcase your skills, you wouldn't be able to become vice president in three years."He set down his cup and waved airily before he added, "In fact, when you were on your way here, I'd already contacted three foreign suppliers. Based on their abilities, they shouldn't have issues supplying the west city slum redevelopment project. However, their payment terms and quotations might be more stringent than the locals.""I understand. Since it's urgent, money isn't an issue here."Austin nodded and expressed his gratitude sincerely. "Mr. Sanders, thank you so much for promptly addressing this. I'll remember this favor.""Don't mention it. How
