Austin was extremely regretful.

When Nangong Nuannuan and Selina were brought back to the palace by Duke Eton, he and his sister, Amisha, strongly opposed it. They had asked their second uncle and aunt to tell the Duke not to accept any illegitimate children being brought in.

However, his aunt doted on her younger brother, and Duke Eton had lost his beloved wife and daughter. He gave almost all of his love to Nangong Nuannuan and Selina, so Austin’s aunt also loved them too and was very good to Nangong Nuannuan and Selina.

Even though he and his sister were only children of a marquis, they had an uncle who was the husband of the empress. Therefore, it could be said that amongst the royal children, apart from Antonio and Amos, they were the boldest.

When Nangong Nuannuan and Selina first entered the palace, Amisha thought that these two girls were just poor orphans. She brought Austin along to provoke Nangong Nuannuan and Selina many times. It was only after she was completely abused by Nuannuan that she gave up on this. She realized that both of the girls were really quite formidable.

At that time, Austin wanted to repair his relationship with Nangong Nuannuan and marry her. However, it was too late.

From that time onward, no matter what methods he used, Nangong Nuannuan never looked him in the eye without disdain again.

Now, she had a fiance that she adored, and that man was stronger than him in terms of status, power, and strength.

He really did not have a chance, did he?

Austin was the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals. Ever since he was nothing, nothing was off-limits or too much for him. It was only when he was faced with Nangong Nuannuan that he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Whether he used affection, money, status, swindling, force, or even getting someone to kidnap her…

It had no effect on her at all.

If he used affection, she did not like him.

If he used money, she already had much more money than him.

If he used status, she was the daughter of a duke, and now, also the daughter of the Nangong family, the most powerful family in Camino.

She would not fall for his lies.

If he used forceful methods, her martial prowess was much better than his.

Even her fiance was better than him.

He had to come to terms with reality and learn to give up. Austin felt like he had no other choice at this point.

Nangong Nuannuan would forever be his Moby Dick, so close yet so far.

After afternoon tea, because everyone was too full for dinner, dinner was pushed back to suppertime. In the middle of their free time, Nangong Nuannuan called Chi Yang and the Wu siblings to the detention center.

After all, their purpose for coming to Luntan was to avenge Wu Pingting. They would bring the person who hurt her to justice!

Just like before, a long Rolls-royce Phantom and five Land Rovers driven by the bodyguards arrived outside the detention center.

From afar, they saw a group of people cursing and arguing with the police.

The group of people looked in their direction when they noticed the arrival of the convoy.

Nangong Nuannuan realized that these people were none other than Xu Yunyun’s father, Xu Binyi; her mother, Su Tong; Su Fei’s father, Su Zhi; and her mother Fang Lanzhi.

In the distance, there was the cold and indifferent Kerlow, as well as his and Fang Lanxin’s two sons and one daughter.
