Aldus stood to the side while frowning. One moment he was puzzled, the next he was deep in thought.He didn't know much about Dahlia's past.This was because Walter only took him under his wing after returning to the Campbells as the head of the family.Therefore, only Ezra was the true witness to Walter and Dahlia's past.A moment passed.Dahlia let out a sigh. "Forget it. Aldus' showing up tonight had made me draw the line. Perhaps things will end tonight. There won't be any more wind in the future.""You still don't want to tell Mr. Campbell about this?" Ezra raised his eyebrows."I'm going to rest."Dahlia got up and headed upstairs. She had answered Ezra's question.Ezra leaned back on the couch and smiled helplessly. He watched Dahlia go upstairs before whispering softly, "A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. The greedy heart cannot be ended so easily with just these means. Otherwise, things wouldn't have happened back then.""Ezra,

"It's clear!"Itijah chuckled. "But this has nothing to do with you. It's about my grandson. Hence, it's up to him to decide. With the grandeur of the Emerson family's legacy, I believe my grandson won't act rashly and ignorantly like you by having such a narrow-minded view.""Austin doesn't lack those things," Dahlia said disdainfully.Itijah emptied the feed in his hand into the pond. Then, he clapped his hands and stood up, saying to the bodyguard beside him, "Catch the happiest one and steam it for dinner tonight."Only then did he walk up to Dahlia. "Indeed, Austin doesn't lack these things, but who would mind having more? The Emerson family will give Austin much more than you can imagine. Even if those things hadn't happened in the past, you still wouldn't have enough to provide for Austin today!"Dahlia's disdainful expression intensified. Facing Itijah's gaze, she said, "Austin will disappoint you. He and I are mother and son. I understand him better than anyone!"Pa!It

They left Willowmere Pond.The atmosphere inside the car on the way home was unusually quiet.Ezra sat in the passenger seat and gazed out of the window.Austin and Dahlia were both silent in the back seat.Austin frowned while lost in thought.The appearance of his grandfather was as shocking as when Ezra had revealed Walter's background to him.Similarly, both instances left him feeling resentful.However, Ezra had saved Dahlia, which made him feel slightly grateful toward Walter.Meanwhile, his grandfather's appearance was nothing but a ludicrous display of "parental love".It left him feeling stifled, yet he couldn't help but wonder about the truth behind the events of the past.Dahlia sat with her head bowed while holding both her hands tight together. How Austin reacted was just as she had hoped for when she spoke to Walter. It hadn't disappointed her.Still, Austin's decisive action had left her anxious and apprehensive.Originally, she hadn't planned on telling Au

Austin's eyes flashed with cold determination as he watched Dahlia, whose face was streaked with tears. He growled and said, "But you're a part of the Emersons! You're his daughter! How could he be so ruthless to you?""Hah! Daughter?" Dahlia let out a bitter laugh and wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Austin, remember this. The Emersons have gender discrimination. Men are seen as the masters of the household, while women are considered insignificant accessories. Despite being part of the main lineage of the family, I had no chance to compete for the position of the family head, let alone access to resources!"Dahlia's voice came out almost as a wail.She felt the injustice deeply, like a festering wound that had been ripped open again by the memories.Gender discrimination?Austin's eyes narrowed, and he exuded a chilling aura all over.He smirked.In this day and age?How could the Emersons still harbor such an outdated and disgraceful mindset?The notion of men being s

The interior of the car was dimly lit.Silence enveloped the space.Suddenly, Austin burst into laughter.Rubbing his nose, Austin said, "Mom, have we ever knelt down in these past 20 years, no matter how tough things got?"Dahlia silently shook her head."That's right. Then there's no need for me to choose. We've overcome the toughest situations standing tall, so why should I kneel down now and swallow the Emersons' cold-blooded treatment?"Following that, Austin opened the car door."I'll take what I want on my own terms. Even if the Campbells pose a thousand obstacles, I'll still stand and rise. I've got self-respect. I won't kneel down to become the head of the Emersons!"His voice was cold but firm.Dahlia's eyes sparkled with determination, and she finally smiled.She looked at Austin and then gradually calmed down. She fell into deep thought.Dahlia said in a solemn tone, "If you choose that, the Emersons may not let us off.""I'm not even afraid of the Campbells. Wh
