Maybe there would still be a chance if Austin tried.Falling into the hands of the Redmonts now would be basically sealing his own fate.And for Austin, he was never the type of person to just sit idly by as certain death loomed before him.Even if he was facing certain death if he struggled, he would still choose to fight to the death.Austin's eyes burned with anger as he steeled his resolve to act.Suddenly, his body twitched as a laugh could be heard coming from his mouth.The police officers sandwiching Austin from both his left and right sides were shocked.The police officer sitting in the passenger seat angrily turned around and threw his cigarette onto Austin. "What the fuck are you laughing at?"Austin's smile bloomed as he stared straight at the team leader of the disguised thugs. "You may be fake police officers, but you're genuinely the Redmont family's henchmen!"The leader of the thugs panicked for an instant before suppressing his emotions with a frown.The th

Cecily opened the door before Aldus could even react to what just happened.A familiar face came into view as the door opened."Austin!" Tears flowed down her cheeks as Cecily threw herself into Austin's arms. "You scared me! You really, really scared me!"Austin smiled and replied, "I'm sorry… It really is my fault."Cecily bit down on her lips while crying and shaking her head.Both Aldus and Wolf breathed a sigh of relief at the same time when they saw Austin.Austin seemed extremely run-down with his ragged clothes stained with blood and mud. He had open wounds on his head and arms.But he still made it back alive.Aldus snapped back to his senses and said, "Please come inside, sir."Cecily would not let go of Austin at all. It was as if she was worried that he would disappear from her sight once more.She only realized how much she loved and missed Austin after experiencing a separation that involved the potential loss of Austin's life.Austin smiled helplessly as he he

The bolt from the blue of a message caused Austin's body to tense up.Overwhelming anger surged up within his body as immense murderous intent emanated from the wooden box.Austin started to struggle once more like a beast trying to escape its entrapment.He had to make it out of here no matter what.Austin did not know what the man meant by his life had already been taken over as if nothing had happened, but it sent a chill down his spine as unparalleled fear gripped his heart.Austin punched and kicked at the wooden box from within as his life depended on it.He realized that having his life be taken over meant that a stranger bearing his resemblance would be swooping in to continue where he left off… Which included being by Dahlia and Cecily's side.He realized that it would mean that he would completely disappear from the face of the Earth.Austin's blood started to boil over as he thought of Dahlia and Cecily.He would never allow something so absurd as a substitute to ta

Cecily's expression froze for a moment when she heard the word "dance".In that instant, a flicker of surprise flashed across her eyes. Her gaze turned deep.Austin didn't notice it.He was already busy coordinating with the photography team and setting up the cameras.Dazed, Cecily stood rooted to the spot.At this moment, that feeling grew even stronger."Are you ready?"Austin's gentle voice sounded in her ears.Cecily snapped out of her daze. Her lips trembled slightly, and she finally nodded.The music began to play, and the lights shimmered, creating an enchanting atmosphere.As the light focused on Cecily and Austin, they instantly captured the attention of everyone around them.Then, they began dancing.The photography team wasted no time in capturing every moment.They ensured that the lighting, angles, and details were all perfect."Is this a wedding photoshoot?""It's so beautiful. I bet the wedding photos taken with such a view and a dance will look stunning.

So, that was why the Pearsons agreed to become the scapegoat.Austin was raging.The realization hit him like lightning.Dorothy not only wanted to kill him, but she was orchestrating the downfall of the entire Campbell family!That guy from the Pearsons would substitute him and deceive Austin's father. Then, with the help of Dorothy and Austin's father, he would easily defeat all the other heirs and seize control of the Campbells. The moment that guy took the helm as the family head, the Campbells would for sure fall into Dorothy's hands.That guy was nothing but a puppet that Dorothy was using.Moreover, Dorothy must have made enough promises to the Pearsons. Hence, that was why the Pearsons sacrificed themselves!Once that guy became the head of the Campbells, even if he remained a puppet, he would gain far more than what the Pearsons could give him."Is that old lady trying to usurp that guy's power?"Austin gritted his teeth. He said through gritted teeth, "I won't let you have y
