Chapter 472: Austin and Matthew Meets Suzy
The next day, Austin and Matthew dressed up nicely in suits and each got into their individual cars before driving to NexaSky.An hour later, they were allowed into the building and led to meet the CEO, Suzy Williams. Their former colleagues stared at them in disbelief as they passed — shocked the two even dared to return.Inside Suzy’s office, she sat behind her desk, dressed formally and wearing a shade, which she slowly removed as soon as she saw them. Her expression was cold.Austin greeted her respectfully, and Matthew followed.“You left seven months ago, abandoning your positions… and now you’re back?” she asked sharply.Austin and Matthew swallowed and exchanged a glance.“We’re sorry, boss,” Austin said. “Something happened which delayed us for so long… but now we’re back.”Suzy let out a short mocking clap. “So I should applaud you? Because clearly you’re the ones who run this company, right?” she snapped. “You think I’ll be kind enough to give you back your jobs after you l

The guard’s face instantly paled.“You know what he’ll do to you?” she continued, leaning closer. “He’ll have you beaten, dragged out, and fired on the spot. Me? He’ll just yell a little — maybe scold me. But you? You’ll lose everything. Should I go tell him?”The guard gulped hard, his throat tightening in fear. “No, ma’am… please, no need for that.” He stepped aside quickly, opening the door for her.“That’s better,” Rose said softly, brushing past him and stepping inside.Inside, Cordelia was lying quietly on the bed, her face turned toward the small window. When she heard the door open, she sat up suddenly.“Rose?” she said, surprised.Rose gave her a small smile and walked closer, setting the tray down. “Hi, sis. I brought your food again.”Cordelia blinked, still processing her presence. “Why did you come back here again?” she asked gently.Rose sat beside her and sighed. “I went to see Raymond,” she said. “I tried to talk to him, to convince him to stop this marriage, but he wo

Chapter 471: Austin and Matthew
The driver nodded and said, “Okay, sir,” then turned the wheel, driving Benjamin toward one of the largest clothing stores in the city. Meanwhile, Back at New Ember Inside a quiet police detention center, two men sat in a dim cell, dressed in worn prison uniforms. Their hair had grown long and rough — it was Austin and Matthew. They had been locked up for seven months, almost eight, ever since the police traced them after the Maverick Stone incident. Austin leaned back against the cold wall, giving a tired smile. “So this is our fate? No one to help us? Our friend died, and we end up here trying to avenge him,” he said softly. “Who knows how many years we’ll get if this goes to court?” Matthew sighed, rubbing his face. “Maybe this is just what fate wrote for us,” he muttered. “No one knows we’re even here, and anyone who might… can’t do anything. Life’s just messed up, man.” The two kept talking quietly, voices full of pain and regret. Then the sound of a baton hitting th
Chapter 470: Benjamin A. Stone
Benjamin relaxed back a little and replied softly,“I’m fine, thank you. Are you Benjamin A. Stone?”The man nodded slowly.“I am. And I heard you are here with a billion dollars. Honestly…” he looked at Benjamin from head to toe, “…you look very young for that.”Benjamin gave a small controlled nod.“I’m also Benjamin,” he said, then calmly extended his hand.Benjamin Augustine Stone shook his hand firmly.Stone leaned back slightly. “Alright. Tell me… what exactly are we doing here today? A private account setup?”Benjamin crossed his legs and spoke quietly, “Before that, I need some information. You will help me.”Stone’s smile disappeared. He leaned forward. “Tell me what information you want.”Benjamin looked at him steadily. “Eight years ago, five million dollars was moved into an account. The money came from an account linked to your name. I need full details — who ordered it, where the money went, and which people were involved.”Stone’s face changed. He frowned and his voice
