Urma gave Derek a push as his face turned pale at her words.Derek was a teacher who believed that passing down the bloodline was an important matter. Making Harvey the last of his family's bloodline would make Derek suffer more than anyone else.Frustrated, he grabbed his hair and slapped himself. "Then … Then, I'll borrow money from my old friends. I'll be able to gather enough money for Harv's marriage from them.""Won't you need to return the money later on?" Urma raised her voice.Nancy looked pale. She stared at Urma with reddened eyes. An epiphany struck upon her at that moment.She thought, "You'd rather sell your daughter off just because you need to return that money?"…The next morning, Derek went out to borrow money.The incident last night put him in a difficult position, and Urma's words hit his sore spot. Thus, he had no choice but to put his ego down to borrow money from his friends.Nancy didn't sleep a wink that night. Her eyes were puffy from all the

Brock then sat on the couch, shaking his head hysterically. He didn't want to accept reality.Dominion Properties was bound to face a huge loss for signing the slum redevelopment contract that was over-budgeted.That was why he could still mock Austin after he was beaten to a pulp by Austin's men last night. To Brock, Austin was merely a clown who wouldn't be able to stand against him for long.Yet, the mind-blowing news of Wirtucon Corporation investing in the west city served as a reality check for Brock.How could he possibly not know the effects of it as the former CEO of Dominion Properties?It was true that he was an incapable CEO, but he wasn't stupid!Wirtucon Corporation was the largest property company in the country. Putting the question of whether they would really invest in the city aside, that news alone was enough to boost the housing price in the west city.All these years, every property area invested by them would have its prices go through the roof. Consid

Austin froze the moment he raised his head.He was standing right in front of the rental house he'd lived in with Nancy.He wondered how he'd walked all the way there.Time Port was not far from here. In the past, they would have a stroll by the port after dinner to enjoy the breeze.That was why he unconsciously walked back to his previous home on his own accord."Things won't be how they were anymore." He shook his head and turned around. He was going to leave."Mr. Campbell!" a woman called him in a pleasantly surprised tone. "Do you really live here?"Austin frowned and his expression turned rigid.He wondered, "Just when will she learn her lesson?"He turned around to see Susie standing under a nearby streetlight. She was looking at him in pleasant surprise. Susie was wearing a white dress that revealed her smooth skin. The cold breeze made her shrink a little."What do you mean?" Austin asked coldly.She quickly walked to him and straightened her back. It was as thou

Nancy shrieked in surprise. Her instincts told her to fight back, but she heard that something was happening to Harvey.She asked anxiously, "What happened? Did something happen to Harv?""His marriage! Harv and Susie are going to get engaged soon. If we don't gather enough money soon, she's going to break up with him. And he's going to kill himself!" Urma slapped Nancy.Urma then continued sobbing. "Why did I give birth to such a useless daughter? You can't even help out with your brother's marriage. Do you want all of us to die?"Nancy was stupefied as the pain stung her cheek.Tears swelled in her eyes almost instantly. She shouted in agony, "But I've already thought of everything I could possibly do. What else do you want from me?"Urma gave Nancy another slap. "Lies! Harv told me that Austin is rich. Why did you not take the money from him and divorce him instead? You're trying to drive your brother to the edge!"Nancy's mind went blank as she stared at Urma with teary eyes

Nancy suddenly realized that divorcing Austin was likely a deliberate plot of his. Using the 200 thousand to deceive her into divorce was much more cost-effective than a mutually agreed-upon divorce.The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. So, she immediately found Dahlia and made a scene.Since they were getting a divorce, Austin owed her compensation, and she wouldn't settle for anything less.Even if she had to swallow her pride, she needed to claim what was rightfully hers. At least this could alleviate the urgent situation at home and help Harvey.If she fell into Austin's divorce trap because of her impulsive decisions and couldn't help Harvey get married, she would carry that guilt for the rest of her life.However, what she didn't expect was that Dahlia, who was originally lying peacefully in the hospital bed, had experienced a sudden and severe deterioration in her condition. Soon, doctors and nurses rushed her into the emergency room.This frightened Nanc
