Chapter 311

In the yard, a slight breeze picked up, and the scent of flowers filled the air.But Cecily stood where she was, frozen. The radiant glow was gone from her face.Her expression was dark, and her gaze wandered.The contents of the envelope were like a streak of lightning that struck her out of nowhere. With a loud peal of thunder, all her wonderful fantasies crumbled like a dream.It was a photo!In the photo, Austin and Nancy were seated facing each other in Blue Fairy Dining."Have they gotten back together?" Cecily thought, "If so, why would Austin propose to me?"In that instant, Cecily felt troubled, and her mind turned blank.She stuffed the photo back into the envelope. Then, she turned around and walked dejectedly into the building.Edward and Rachel, who had been drinking tea and observing Cecily, were both stunned.They saw the staff member from Tetra Club delivering the envelope, and they also saw the changes in Cecily's expression after seeing the contents of the e

Chapter 312

Austin didn't care about money.He might have cared about money in the past, but now, money was just a string of numbers to him.He would even give up 1 billion dollars, let alone 100 million dollars, as long as it meant that his relationship with Cecily would be maintained!This relationship was achieved with great effort, so he treasured it a lot.To him, this relationship was priceless because of how Cecily and her parents treated him.If this photo fell into Cecily's hands, the proposal he was preparing for the end of this month would go up in flames.Also, since Nancy had already planned this early on, she would have more than this single photo of them seated facing each other.Austin wouldn't be surprised if he saw other photos that were more suggestive than this.He kept taking in deep breaths, trying his best to calm his anger.Austin's expression was cold as if he were a man-eating beast. A twisted smile appeared on his lips as he slowly took up his phone.He sent Na

For the whole afternoon, Austin felt restless.His mind was filled with the scene of his meeting with Nancy that day.He had done it out of his last bit of decency toward her, but he didn't expect Nancy to take advantage of even that last sliver of decency.She was incredibly cruel.He was once again surprised by the extent of the greed the Welches possessed!It was just a simple goodbye, but they had plotted and turned it into evidence to be used in blackmail!This was nothing but humiliation to Austin.He could hardly calm down.But he didn't dare to make any reckless moves. He didn't dare to vent his anger on the Welches right away.If the Welches were bold enough to blackmail him for 100 million dollars, then they would have the guts to send the photo to Cecily.Austin's relationship with Cecily would reach its final stage at the end of this month.He wouldn't allow any trouble to occur during this period!That evening, after getting off work, Austin distractedly left t

Ezra sighed. He had a complicated expression on his face as he said, "Madam Emerson, I've already given you some advice early on, and I believe that you can solve the problem. But, Madam Emerson, power always comes with more trouble. I still think that you should tell sir about this so that he'll be prepared."Dahlia suddenly slammed her palm furiously on the table, causing the teacups on the table to clatter.At that moment, Dahlia's usually gentle and loving face was cold and filled with anger.If Austin saw that, he would definitely be shocked.After all, since young, he had rarely seen that expression on his mother's face."You treat me with respect by calling me Madam Emerson, so why are you going against my orders?" Dahlia said in a cold voice. Her gaze was sharp as she stared at Ezra."Madam Emerson, your current behavior reminds me of your glorious years in the past."Ezra remained calm, and he never flinched. "Still, I'm being considerate of sir."Dahlia grabbed a teac

Early in the morning, Austin hurried to the pier as promised.Nancy and her family had decided to leave on a ferry.The torture Austin had gone through for the past two days tired him out completely. He was in an extremely bad mood.He was disgusted by the Welches' greed.Rubbing his fingers against the bank card in his pocket, Austin had a sharp look on his face.If 100 million dollars could resolve this matter, Austin didn't mind giving it up.He would be proposing to Cecily at the end of this month. He would never allow any unexpected events to occur during this period.His phone rang.It was a call from Nancy.Austin answered the call coldly. "Where are you?""Pier 1."After ending the call, Austin walked toward Pier 1.In the distance, he could see Nancy in a black dress. There were some suitcases placed next to Nancy as well.A gentle breeze picked up, caressing Nancy's long hair and dress.She had a quiet smile on her pretty face. Everything about her exuded a refr

Austin didn't transfer the money right into Nancy's account as the paper slip had asked. Instead, he registered a bank card straight away.Nancy took the paper slip in shock. When she saw the contents, her face turned pale, and she was at a loss for words.Austin scoffed. "You said that this has nothing to do with you, didn't you? Nancy, I was wrong to have believed in your family. Through it all, you were lying when you made promises to me. You've never let me down in the aspect of failing me."His words were firm and harsh.Nancy's eyes turned red. Tears welled up in her pretty eyes.Austin's words were like a burning blade that pierced her heart.Nancy bit her red lip, allowing her tears to fall in silence as she kept shaking her head."Please don't disturb my life anymore."Austin turned around in disappointment. "You should be grateful that I'm proposing to Cecily at the end of this month. I don't want to cause any trouble during this period. If not, you and your family wo

Nancy was completely stunned.Derek's and Harvey's expressions shifted as well.Even they felt that Urma was going overboard!"Mom, how could you speak of Nancy like that?" Harvey said in a low voice.But Urma raised her head in arrogance. "Are you saying that I was wrong? How much money had she gotten after getting married to Austin? How much has she helped us? She couldn't help you even when you were going to marry Susie."I've worked so hard to help her get back her divorce compensation, but it's my fault now?"With that, Urma glared sideways at Nancy."What's so nice about being with that beastly Austin? It'd be better if you get together with Mason. He slept with you, and you managed to get millions of dollars at least!""Enough!"Derek trembled. Raising his hand, he brought it down.He delivered a heavy slap across Urma's face, the slapping sound ringing clearly in the air.Urma staggered backward. Her cheek instantly swelled up.Being the arrogant and domineering wom

Chapter 318

A melodious piano piece resounded in the air.Cecily leaned against the window, gazing at the blooming flowers and fountain in the yard. Her eyes were reddened and a little swollen.She had fantasized about the proposal at the end of this month.She even hoped that Austin would actually come in shining armor, maybe even on horseback, as he arrived and proposed to her.But now, all her fantasies and hope seemed to be tossed into an icy cave. They turned cold, numb, and indifferent.A knock sounded on the door."Cecily, it's time for lunch," Edward called out at the door.Cecily wiped the corners of her eyes. "Dad, I'm not hungry. You and Mom should go ahead.""Child, you haven't eaten for two days. What if you starve yourself too much?" Edward sounded a little angry, but it was because his heart ached for his daughter.Cecily said playfully, "Come on, Dad, I'm a grown-up now. Can you not treat me like a child?""Cecily, are you troubled by anything? You can tell me about it. D

Chapter 319

When Cecily and Rachel heard Edward's angry voice, they hurriedly ran out of the room.They saw Edward holding photos in his hand, his face filled with fury."Dad…"Cecily's heart immediately sank. When she saw the familiar envelope and photo, an extremely terrifying thought popped up in her head.She was exposed!She had been in a daze for the past few days, and she couldn't even eat or drink. She was indeed affected by the photo, but she refused to tell her parents about it because she feared that the matter would progress to the point of no return.The scene before her eyes right now made her feel faint."What's the matter? Why are you so angry?"Rachel frowned deeply as she hurried forward."Look! That bastard Austin, does he think he can bully our daughter just like that?" Edward angrily handed the photos to Rachel.Rachel looked at the photos. In an instant, a cold expression appeared on her elegant face.She didn't spend too much time in Cecily's room just now, so she

Cecily nodded quietly. Her eyes were red and filled with tears."Well, then. Tell us what you think!" Rachel said straightforwardly.The photos were concrete evidence, so no matter how gentle Rachel was, she could hardly suppress her anger.Her only sense of reason was that she would choose to consider her daughter's opinions.Cecily frowned deeply. A hesitant look appeared on her beautiful face.She clasped her hands together, but her mind was in a huge mess.She had thought about this matter for two days.At first, she was furious and indignant like her parents were.But after calming down, she felt that Austin wasn't someone who would do things like that.After Austin and Nancy divorced, Cecily took note of how Austin treated Nancy.Moreover, she had temporarily left Austin back then because of what he did toward the Welches.Also, in the photos, Austin and Nancy were just seated facing each other. They didn't do anything outrageous.Taking a deep breath, Cecily said ear
