Semua Bab Winner Takes All: Bab 381 - Bab 390

Itijah had never expected Walter to appear at all.He had never once considered Walter to be involved when he planned to kidnap Dahlia in order to threaten Austin.Itijah knew that Walter could not help Austin directly, other than helping Austin secure the position as head of the Campbells.Walter wasn't so powerful as to be able to make decisions all on his own within the Campbell family. He would be restrained by other factions within the family, and most of all, Dorothy herself.When Itijah first led the Emersons to plunder the inheritance left by Walter to his wife and child, Walter was held back by his family and could do nothing but watch in humiliation as his efforts were stolen away.Itijah couldn't understand why Walter would appear right here right now.He would've even thought that Dorothy had already passed away if he didn't already know that she was still alive.Walter smiled. "Father-in-law? You were no longer my father-in-law when you abandoned Dahlia. My wife and

Walter didn't even bother to hide the disdain on his face as he stared at Itijah.Itijah furiously explained, "Walter, I hope you realize that I'm still Dahlia's father at the end of the day. I gave my blessings to your marriage even though I know nothing about who you really were."He knew that he could no longer reverse the situation against someone powerful enough to destroy the entire Emerson family like Walter.But Itijah was hellbent on retaining Dahlia and Austin by his side.Austin, as he saw it, was the only hope for the Emersons.Letting him go would basically be forsaking a prized possession forever.There might not be a second chance for Itijah to see Dahlia or Austin ever again if that happened.Walter shouted, "I said, give me back my wife! The Emersons favor sons more than their daughters, and Dahlia was never allowed any of your resources growing up. You claim to be giving us your blessings when you really just wanted her to be banished from your sight! Do you ev

All sorts of emotions swelled up in his mind, and Austin couldn't express any of them thoroughlyHe picked Dahlia up and left the house, with Aldus, Ezra, and Vincent following right behind him.Walter remained inside the hall as he stared at all of the Emersons. "Remember, I'm the current head of the Campbell family. You may invite us for whatever reason, but you're never allowed to hurt any of my people."The crowd stared in awe as Walter turned around to leave.He suddenly stopped when he reached the door. "Ten more rounds of bombing will be enough for your punishment today. There had better not be a next time, or the entire Emerson Residence will be razed to the ground. Mark my words!"All of the Emersons' expressions sank as they imagined ten times the amount of the explosions they'd already heard earlier.They could only wonder if they would even survive after going through ten more rounds of artillery bombing.None of them dared to speak out as Itijah himself also remaine

Vincent explained, "You better pay me well if you want me to work for you. The price that I have to pay to help you is quite the massive one.""The price you have to pay?" asked Austin.Vincent smiled deviously before turning around to make a phone call.The call was picked up in an instant, and Vincent said, "I'm no longer one of the Redmonts from today onward. Do whatever you need to do."He hung up the call, and the room returned to complete silence.Austin, alongside Ezra and Aldus were all shocked as they realized just how massive of a price Vincent had paid.It was a disastrous price to pay even for someone with tremendous power and wealth.Vincent, however, did it without as much of a single second of hesitation.That was why the three of them were so surprised.Vincent turned around and shrugged at the three of them. "Don't be so surprised. I'm pretty much branded as a nobody even within the Redmont family. Now that I have something I'd like to do of my own volition, I

Terry became flustered, but he still tried his best to compose himself. "I believe I have the ability to take over your position as head of the Emersons, Dad. Did you know that what happened last night had caused all of our stocks to crash today? Some of our businesses had already declared bankruptcy and shut down."Itijah let out a sigh and replied, "I already guessed as much. We'll be having tough times ahead of us indeed. Walter's appearance last night had basically sealed our fate. The other families must've already started preparations to kick us while we're down when they received news about what happened."The Emersons had gathered a lot of enemies over the years as the richest family in Kandor City.Lots of people wanted nothing but the downfall of the Emersons so that they could take over their spot as the most powerful in Kandor City.But none had ever done anything in fear of being crushed by the Emersons.It was the only thing keeping the balance within Kandor City.W
