All Chapters of Winner Takes All: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Susie felt like she was dreaming.How could it be such a coincidence?The Austin that Harvey described to her was nothing like the Austin she met at the bank.Yet, the icy face she saw through the windshield was the very same one.After that humiliating night, how could she forget his face?"Oh, right. I forgot you're penniless now," Harvey remarked.Not noticing Austin's hostility, Harvey continued to mock, "What a shame. If you'd only taken our advice and let your mom die, you wouldn't have had to divorce my sister. Well, you really have nothing left now."Austin was clenching his fists so tightly that the veins along his arms were bulging.Ever since he married Nancy, he had to suffer constant disrespect from the Welches, and because Nancy took her family's side, his standing in the family dropped even lower.Even though he became the assistant general manager of Dominion Properties in just three years and frequently gave money to the Welches, they still looked down on him

The encounter with Harvey was merely a minor annoyance. Austin did not care about it.He devoted all of his attention to the west city slum redevelopment project.It was the answer to the test given to him by his father whom he had never met.It was also his first time being able to fully show what he was capable of.An exorbitant contract that cost Dominion Properties an additional 30 million in losses was indeed a calamity for the company.Every single employee knew what such a loss meant.Thus, when Austin arrived at the office, he found that the atmosphere was unusually heavy.Everyone was focusing on their work, but there was tension in the air. The entire office was alarmingly silent.Feeling a little helpless about it, Austin ignored the situation and walked into his office.He knew that they stayed even after finding out about the contract because they had faith in him.But, the trust they had was not enough to stop them from feeling nervous and agitated.He could no

After getting off work that night, Austin rushed home to prepare some soup. Once it was ready, he rushed back to Legacy Hospital.When he came to Dahlia's hospital room, he ran into Isaac and a few other doctors who were doing their rounds.When Isaac saw Austin, he waved at his colleagues for them to leave without him. Then, he smiled at Austin and said, "You're a very loving son, Mr. Campbell. I see you cooking for your mother everyday."Austin smiled before asking, "How's my mom doing, Dr. Navarro?""She's been recovering well. In a few days, she can be discharged from the hospital. However, with all organ transplants, there's a risk period where the patient's body might reject the new organ. It can last between six months to a year. We'll have to wait until that passes before we can say she has fully recovered."Austin grew anxious, but Isaac smiled and added, "However, you don't need to worry about that, Mr. Campbell. Mr. Lockwood has spoken to me. The hospital will do our be

As a light rain started falling, Nancy felt a stone-cold feeling in her heart.She stared listlessly at her phone. Austin's response cut her like a knife."Go in, Nancy. He's waiting for you," Harvey urged. He did not know about Nancy's WhatsApp conversation.Nancy wiped her tears away and walked toward the restaurant. She slowly looked up at the night sky and smiled in despair. "In the end, I have to bear the brunt of everything alone, huh?"The warm light and relaxing music of the dimly lit restaurant made it the perfect dating spot.In the corner, Brock was lounging on a couch. Now and then, he would smooth out his hair while ogling at the photo of Nancy.Getting married at his age was considered quite old, but he did not mind.He did not want to get married. He had not had enough fun yet.His older sister had married a wealthy man, and with their help, he led an easy life of luxury.When he was the general manager at Dominion Properties, he used his position to demand sexu

Once again, it was a long wait. Nancy was on the verge of a breakdown when she finally got a reply."I repeat, it was your mom who forced you to do it!"…Austin was at his rental when he replied to Nancy's messages. His expression was unpleasant, and he felt a tight feeling in his chest. His narrowed eyes were filled with hostility. He gripped his phone so tightly that it almost seemed to crack."Was he trying to humiliate me?" Austin snarled under his breath as he called Ezra.Once the call ended, Austin pondered in silence with an unreadable gaze. His expression was as icy as ever.He did not know how Nancy ended up on a blind date with Brock, but even after finding out that Nancy was his ex-wife, Brock continued to treat her like a prostitute.Austin considered that an attempt to humiliate him!Not one to drag his feet, Austin jumped into action. He was not going to just put up with such humiliation.Glancing at Nancy's profile picture, he sent her a WhatsApp message."If
