Allegra had barely sat down when her phone vibrated. It was an incoming call from an unknown number. She answered the phone.“Mr. Kane! Yes, I’m about to have dinner now. Isaac? Yes, he’s here.” Allegra glanced at Isaac as she spoke, and suddenly, she widened her eyes and gasped in surprise. “What company? 60 million dollars? I…”Allegra moved her phone away and said to Isaac, panicked, “My mom went all the way to Aurum County and asked Mr. Kane for funds. A whole 50 million dollars! What should I do?”“Are you planning to set up a company?” Isaac asked as he ate.Allegra took a deep breath and said into the phone, “Mr. Kane, I’m not planning to establish a company now. Please cancel the transaction. If I need your help, I’ll go to you personally.”Eugene kept his head down as he ate, furrowing his brows. He did not expect Margaret to take advantage of Allegra in matters like this.Allegra simply refused because her mother lied to her. Besides, she felt reluctant to ask Watson fo

Eugene took a deep breath and headed to a convenience store nearby.Isaac sat in the car, watching as Eugene exited the convenience store and went straight into the hotel lobby. He frowned, hesitating, then got off the car and followed Eugene.Standing in front of Room 1518, Eugene took another deep breath before knocking on the door.Nobody answered the door. Eugene knocked again, and a man’s voice rang out from within. He kept quiet and continued knocking.The door creaked open, and a burly young man with a naked top came out. When he saw Eugene, he roared, “What the hell? Are you lost?”“Is Margaret Gould here?” Eugene looked directly at the man before him.Then, he saw a familiar pair of heels by the TV cabinet. Eugene started shuddering and darted inside.Margaret was lying in bed, wrapping herself with the sheets.He shuddered so violently that his teeth started to chatter. He pointed at Margaret, at a loss for words.Eugene took yet another breath before saying, “This m

Andrew hurried into the living room with Edward and his wife.They saw Margaret at once, sitting on the floor covered with wounds. Edward was displeased.“Margaret, what happened to you? Who hit you?”Margaret sobbed and pointed at Eugene.“Eugene Booth, are you trying to pick a fight? How dare you hit my sister!” Edward gritted his teeth and grabbed Eugene’s collar.“Let me go. You should first ask me why I hit her,” said Eugene.Edward was stunned momentarily before scolding, “Let you go? No matter what mistake she made, it doesn’t give you the right to hit her. We’re not dead yet.”“This is my last warning. Let me go.” Eugene shifted his gaze toward Edward.“How brave, Eugene, yelling at your brother-in-law like that. By the look of things, you’ll hit Edward next, won’t you?” Edward’s wife crossed her arms and chided.She had just finished speaking when Eugene kicked Edward in the stomach.Edward fell sprawling onto the floor and moaned.“It’s not only you. Even if Old Al

Alec was deep in thought. Edward had a point. “Margaret, your brother’s opinion is reasonable. You can’t divorce. We’ll apologize to Eugene after a few days. I’ll do whatever it takes for him to forgive you.”“Dad…” Margaret felt guilty when she heard what her father said. She gritted her teeth and growled, “Edward, when will you get rid of Isaac? If not for him, Eugene wouldn’t have known about my whereabouts. It’s all because of him!”“Okay, I’ll call Young Master Charlie right now. We’ll destroy that bastard.” Edward’s eyes glinted menacingly. He dialed Charles’ number straightaway.Two days later, Alec brought Margaret and Andrew to Riverview.Isaac had just bought a rocking chair and was now rocking in it, enjoying his drink. Eugene was sitting on the sofa, watching a stand-up comedy. He was cheerful until he saw his guests, and his expression turned sour.Margaret walked up to Eugene and suddenly kneeled in front of him. She sobbed, “Eugene, I’m very sorry. Please forgive me

Everyone was stunned.“You maniac! Why did you hit him? Who are you to hit him?” Jane shoved Isaac, infuriated.“I’m slapping you on behalf of your father. He asked me to hit you to your senses,” Isaac said softly.Warwick hollered, “How dare you hit him before my eyes! Get Xavier here and take this bastard down!”Shortly after, half a dozen men ran into the house with Xavier, in his black robe, at the lead.When he saw Isaac, Xavier’s eyes spat fire.“You scum! I couldn’t kill you the other day—let’s see who can help you now!” Xavier gave Isaac an evil smile.Isaac chuckled as he looked at Warwick. “Using dirty methods to force someone into marriage, huh? That’s not very honorable.”There was a shock on Warwick’s face which quickly turned into a smirk. “Dirty methods? It’s part of the Owens family’s strength. Albert will never receive his promotion as long as his daughter refuses to marry my son!” Warwick ordered his subordinates, “Xavier, what are you waiting for? Take them d
