Winner Takes All Chapter 99
In the evening, Austin left the office earlier than usual after finishing his work. He was going to have dinner with Cecily tonight. To him, it was their first date, so he had to take it very seriously. Cecily didn't mind his past, so it would be ungentlemanly of him to refuse her offer.After all, there were lots of beginnings in life. One couldn't just refuse and reject everything after getting hurt once. Just like Austin, Cecily took their first date very seriously too. She quickly finished all her tasks and went to the washroom to reapply her makeup. Unbeknownst to her, Dave slipped into her room right after she left the office. He took a furtive glance to make sure that no one was behind him, then took out a tiny bottle from his pocket. He then removed the lid from Cecily's cup and tossed two pieces of drugs into it. This drug was a prize of his that he obtained from one of his many ventures in the pubs in the city. Ever since getting his hands on this, none of the wo

Cecily was no fool. She wasn't a beauty with no brains. In fact, she was pretty intelligent for someone her age. She knew that her condition wasn't caused by overworking herself. It was the effect of being drugged! The fact that Dave was ignoring her made her panic even further. Fortunately, her phone's screen still showed her chat with Austin. She weakly tapped the icon to call Austin.…Austin had just stepped out of Dominion Properties when he received her message telling him that she was at Yandell Corp. Puzzled, he said to himself, "What's she doing at Yandell Corp?"Before he could make a guess, his phone started ringing. Cecily was video-calling him. He answered the call. The call went through, and the image that he saw was blurry, a result of being shaken from side to side. Austin's face turned grave instantly. He didn't say anything. Instead, he locked his eyes on the screen. Cecily was moving around, but the way she moved was strange. Once, he caught a glimps

When Austin hurried out of the cab, he widened his eyes when he saw a white Porsche 911 parked in a parking lot nearby.It was Cecily's car!Had he come too late?Austin couldn't care less about other things. Like a wild beast, his eyes reddened as he dashed into Collis Hotel.He had just entered the lobby when he caught sight of two familiar figures entering the elevator together."Cecily!"Austin shouted, but the elevator doors were already closed. He had attracted the gazes of everyone in the lobby instead.Dashing to the reception, he said angrily, "Which room are those two going to?"The receptionist was startled, but it was the duty of the hotel to protect their guests' privacy.She stammered.But then, Austin slammed his fist on the desk, saying through gritted teeth, "My girlfriend was drugged. If something bad happens to her, I'll make sure your hotel closes down!"At that moment, he was fuming, so he couldn't be bothered to think about anything else.Moreover, wit

Austin wasn't a weak man.At the underground boxing ring, he didn't kill Wolf because he was just there to gain fighting experience. There was no need for him to kill Wolf.But now, he had killed someone.Cecily was his girlfriend, and she belonged to him.She was also his weak spot.If anyone touched her, only death awaited them!Austin turned around to look at the tightly shut door of the room. The fury in his gaze turned even stronger.He clenched his fists, producing cracking sounds.Was Cecily… being offered?Was Cecily drugged by Dave and sent to this room just to please the person inside the room?What a joke!Gathering strength in one leg, Austin kicked open the door to the room.A deep and passionate song was playing in the room.The curtains were drawn, so the room was a little dark.A figure sat on the chair in the living room. His head was lowered, and he was supporting his chin with his crossed hands."Taylor?"The light was too dim for Austin to see Taylor

Blood splattered out.Austin frowned as a fierce expression took over his face.There was a gash on his left arm, and it was bleeding profusely.Fortunately, he'd dodged the attack on time. If not, even if he didn't die from it, he would have had to lose an arm.A human life meant nothing to Taylor."Tch … I thought you were skilled, but you're still trash."Taylor slowly turned around and stood at the entrance, blocking Austin's way out. He sneered mockingly.Austin took a deep breath. Then, he stared at Taylor with a gloomy look on his face.Taylor suddenly raised a leg and held it against the door frame. Smiling, he said, "Actually, you have a choice. If you crawl out from under my legs, I'll let you live. But you have to leave that woman behind.""We'll see who gets left behind!"A sharp gleam flashed across Austin's eyes. In an instant, he grabbed a chair and dashed toward Taylor.In the dimly lit room, the two got entangled in a fight.Time and again, the noise of the

Austin was smiling, but the coldness in his tone made Taylor feel as if the temperature of their surroundings had instantly decreased.His body shivered uncontrollably, and his heart raced.At that moment, as Taylor was faced with Austin, who was smiling viciously, he had a rare moment where he felt extreme fear. He was terrified.True, Taylor wouldn't hesitate to end Austin's life.But he had never expected Austin to insist on attacking him, even if it meant getting stabbed.Austin was trying to kill Taylor while putting his own life on the line!"Die! Go to hell!"As if he had suddenly gone crazy, Taylor held the dagger with his right hand and began twisting it.Terrifying creaks sounded from Austin's chest.It was the sound of the blade tearing through skin and flesh.But Austin never let go. Even if his left hand was bloody from getting cut by the dagger, he never once let go.He widened his eyes as he glared viciously at Taylor.He could feel the blood quickly draining

Austin slowly opened his eyes.The piercing smell of disinfectant surged into his nasal cavities.He was a little bewildered. "I didn't die?"At the side, a stern-faced Aldus finally relaxed. He smiled as he said, "Sir, that dagger avoided all vital points. You only fainted from the huge loss of blood. It's a good thing that you were rescued in time."Austin smiled, relaxing. He had never expected that.Back then, he was just trying to protect Cecily. He wouldn't regret it even if Taylor killed him with the dagger.He would be satisfied as long as he could buy enough time for Aldus to arrive and save Cecily.He truly was lucky that the dagger had avoided all his vital points.Austin glanced at the room. Then, his expression turned stern. "Which hospital is this?"If his mother knew that he was injured, she wouldn't be able to handle the shock."Don't worry, sir."Aldus hastily said, "When Mr. Lockwood left, he gave me some instructions. So, I sent you to another hospital."

"Then, you're still an idiot!" Cecily complained.Austin smiled, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he reached up and gently patted Cecily on the back.He knew that Cecily had to be startled, and her heart ached for him. So, it wasn't a bad thing for Cecily to vent her frustrations by crying.Cecily's sobbing gradually died down.She hadn't slept for a whole day, so she was extremely tired.After crying her heart out, she began to feel sleepy.Austin looked at Cecily, who was sound asleep in his arms.He lovingly patted her on the back as he muttered in a soft voice, "Silly woman. You were brave enough to bet your whole life on me, so how can I bear to let you lose? Protecting you is my duty."…Susie was dazed as she sat at the counter in the bank.She never thought that after she'd dressed up last night and happily hurried to Full Fish Pier, she wouldn't see Austin anywhere. Instead, she bumped into Nancy.Even now, she felt awkward when she recalled their encounter.Ev
