Cecily's gaze flickered as she gave Austin a disapproving glance. "You're such an idiot."Aldus and Raquel helped put the luggage away.Dahlia sat alone on the large couch in the living room, looking dazedly around her with tears in her eyes.When Dahlia saw Austin and Cecily walking over to her, she smiled gently. "Austin, there must be a balcony in this villa, right? I always see it on TV. Can you take me up there to have a look?""Madam Emerson, the wind is quite strong on the balcony. You—"Cecily was worried about Dahlia's health, but before she could finish speaking, she felt Austin secretly pinching her palm, stopping her."Alright, Mom."Smiling, Austin supported Dahlia as they headed toward the balcony on the top floor.He knew that his mother wasn't trying to see something. Instead, she wanted to ask something.On the spacious balcony, flowers were in full bloom as the wind breezed by, tinted with fragrance.Austin helped Dahlia onto the chair.Dahlia was all smile

"He had no other choice. I knew that he was already the head of the family back then, but in that family, he didn't have any power!"Dahlia sobbed even louder now. It was as if all the emotions suppressed within her had exploded at that moment. "When he left back then, Mr. Lockwood was right there with him. I know Mr. Lockwood."Your dad sent Mr. Lockwood over to help you when you were in trouble, and that was already the best he could do. He does care about us. If not, how would he know that I was going to die?"Austin was stunned.It made sense.Ezra had appeared in front of him at Dahlia's most critical moments and saved her.If it was just a coincidence, wasn't it too coincidental?Or perhaps Ezra had chosen to suddenly appear when Austin was completely penniless. That would be too fantastical.But before Nancy took away the last 200 thousand dollars, Austin was in a similar rut. He was already out of options then.After a while, when Dahlia's sobs had receded, Austin fina

At that, even Aldus couldn't help but sing Austin's father's praises."In truth, I've been on the battlefield for many years. Some mercenaries may look arrogant, but in the face of death, they'll still feel scared and nervous."As for your father, I swear, I've never seen anyone as calm and collected as him. It's as if those qualities were carved into his very being."With that, he looked at Austin. He said, "You resemble him a lot, but you still have a long way to go before you reach his level."Frowning, Austin prodded, "And then?"Aldus continued, "And then, he gave those people ten billion dollars in exchange for my life.""Ten billion dollars… in exchange for your life? No wonder you'd follow him so willingly." Austin smiled teasingly."I guess that's how I repay his kindness for saving my life." Aldus smiled, the gleam in his eyes turning brighter. "For the most part, I was impressed at his calmness back then."I was a mercenary, and I've had my moments of glory, but I'll

"You…" Derek knew that Urma wouldn't listen to reason, so he could only stomp his feet and sigh.Carrying the stuff, the two walked boldly toward the main gate of the villa area.The security guards on duty at the entrance exchanged glances. They were a little puzzled.Only the elites specially selected by the property management company could work as security guards at Heavensgate Residence.If nothing else, just the monthly salary of 10 thousand dollars was enough for them to select the most professional of security guards.With their insight, the two security guards could tell at a glance that the two people walking toward them weren't residents of the villa area.Soon, Urma and Derek arrived at the entrance.Stiffening her neck, Urma pointed at a security guard and shouted, "Hey, you! Hurry and open the gates for us!"The security guard who was pointed at didn't express anger.After all, he had encountered cases of poor people looking for their rich relatives in the villa

As she spoke, Urma raised her hand to hit the security guards again.Just then, a shout suddenly rang out from the walkie-talkie on the second security guard. It was connected to the property management office. "Get them out of there!"When the voice rang out, the two security guards, who were already at their limit, instantly beamed.Urma was bringing her hand down upon them when one of the security guards reached up and grabbed her wrist."Hear that? Our manager wants you out of here. How dare you keep causing a fuss here?""What! How dare you stop me?"Urma was instantly shocked. She screamed, "You're just a watchdog, and you're trying to get in my way?"As she shouted, she extended her other hand to scratch the security guard's face."Ah!"The security guard was caught by surprise as bloody scratches appeared on his face.In his pain, the security guard shook off Urma's wrist.Urma instantly let out a shout, staggering a few steps backward before she fell butt-first on
