All Chapters of Winner Takes All: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

"Urma, let go of Nancy right now!"Furious, Derek tossed his cigarette away and dashed into the bathroom.Then, he slapped Urma across the face, shouting angrily, "Look what the family has turned into! It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't have turned out like this. Nancy is already pitiful enough, but as her mother, how could you still bear to hit her?"Urma and Harvey were shocked by the sudden scene.Derek had always been a timid and meek guy who would hold back."What are you shouting at me for?" Urma was stunned for a moment. Then, she covered her face and suddenly wailed."Stop crying! I swear I'll kill you!" Derek raised his hand to hit Urma, startling the latter so much that she shrunk away.Noticing that something was off, Harvey hastily said, "Dad, why did you hit Mom?""She's going to beat your sister to death. How can I not step in?"With reddened eyes, Derek turned around and glared at Harvey.Harvey gulped. Then, he hastily dragged

After Austin received the call from Nancy, he couldn't focus on work at all. He kept zoning out a little.He didn't even know how he left the company building.By the time he came to his senses, he was already standing outside Blue Fairy Dining.It was a familiar sight, but so many things had changed now.He put on a faint and bitter smile.Austin walked into the restaurant. He could spot Nancy sitting in a corner by the window right away.There was a slight breeze, and the sun was warm. Everything was just right.Nancy was wearing a long white dress as she sat there quietly. Her long hair was draped across her shoulders, and she looked quiet and calm."You're here."Nancy smiled when she saw Austin.Austin nodded. After taking his seat, he asked calmly, "What's the matter?""I'll be moving away today."Nancy stretched. Then, she smiled. "I'm leaving this city. There are too many sad memories here.""That's not a bad idea. You can change your lifestyle when you move away,"

When Austin walked into the main hall, he saw Cecily and the others standing there, waiting for him.Cecily smiled and walked up to him. Holding Austin's arm, she said, "Silly Austin, you're late. My dad and the others are waiting."She seemed to be complaining, but she knew very well that Dominion had just survived a major crisis, and it was when Austin's work would be at its heaviest.When she said that, she was helping Austin maintain his reputation.Austin smiled apologetically at Edward and the others. "Sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Graham, Mr. Newman, and Mr. Stephens. There were too many matters to attend to at the company, so I came late.""It's alright. Since we're all here, let's have a seat."Edward smiled casually. Then, he gave Timothy a doubtful look.Just now, Timothy had rushed to the main hall to welcome Austin. That was why the others had followed him there.After some chatting, when Timothy saw Edward asking them to take their seats, he walked up to Austin and smiled.

Glasses were passed around at the table, and laughter and chatter filled the room.It was quite a happy atmosphere.Faced with Edward, Timothy, and Derrick, Austin didn't look rigid or intimidated at all.He spoke with charisma, and he behaved appropriately.Edward, Rachel, and Derrick nodded in approval when they noticed his behavior.After all, they all held positions above everyone else.Even when they usually dined with the elite and wealthy, the others would just try to suck up to them.It was quite astonishing to see someone as young as Austin, who was from a younger generation, still keeping his calm and speaking in an appropriate tone that was neither too humble nor too proud.After several rounds of eating and drinking, Derrick tipsily got up with his glass in hand. "Young man, here's a toast to you. I was foolish last time, and I misunderstood you. I hereby apologize to you with this glass of wine!"He wasn't a fool. Instead, he was quite smart.As a master of paint

Edward was drunk for real, and he was quite intoxicated.Austin didn't dare to stay there much longer, either. He left in a hurry.He didn't expect a meeting with Cecily's parents to turn into a proposal because of the drunken Edward.Edward was truly… quite remarkable!But more importantly, several hundred million dollars really wasn't a lot to Austin!If it truly was a proposal, Austin would have prepared more gifts that were even more precious than that. It would at least have to be the special gift Ezra had told him about.He was the most bothered by the fact that the scene just now had hurt Cecily.Unfortunately, Edward had already caused a mess in that scene, and Austin had no way of explaining himself.In the Rolls-Royce, Austin had an exasperated look on his face. He was deeply troubled.Ezra and Aldus were puzzled."Is something bothering you, sir?" Ezra asked.Austin smiled helplessly. "I gave them gifts worth several hundred million dollars, and in his drunkenness
