On the other end of the line, Beefy Bob immediately understood him. “It’s my fault, Isaac. I thought he would not…”Isaac pondered briefly before saying, “I know you have a lot on your hands. I’ll call Lupinus and get him to send over a team of Assassin Squad—be ready to take over. You can work in alliance with Old Brooks, but you should be directly in charge of the squad.”Beefy Bob laughed. “Assassin Squad? Lupinus would surely be reluctant to utilize them. But if you give the orders, he’ll definitely not make a fuss about it.”“Right. Remember to settle the matter by tonight. And also, stop by Springview Clinic tomorrow morning; there’s something I need you for…”Early the next morning, Emily got wind of Dexter’s death. Apparently, he drank too much liquor in the middle of the night, fell into a drain, and drowned to his death.She held her phone as she tried to keep calm. At that moment, all she could think about was Isaac making a call in his car last night.Beefy Bob arrive

Edward turned to look at Allegra, smiling coldly. “Why don’t you look in the mirror? Just who do you think you are?”“Allegra, it seems like you’re still unaware. Uncle has said the word, and now, no companies want to work with you. Hence, you should just close your doors while you still can,” said Andrew, his expression mocking.“It was you?” Allegra glared at Edward, her eyes ablaze with fury.Edward didn’t pay Allegra any more attention. Instead, he stood up to look at the dozens of staff before him and loudly said, “Everyone, let me introduce myself. I am the head of Gould Properties, Edward Gould. I heard you are all the cream of the crop in this industry, so I would like to invite you to join our company. This is because no other company will work with you anymore, and Garth Properties is about to shut its doors. Allegra, I’ve told you before—you’re not fit for business. See, it’s been proven.”Seeing Edward’s unbelievably smug look, Allegra was so mad that her eyes began to

Beefy Bob stayed for the rest of the dinner, but after it ended, he also left in a hurry.“It’s not that big of a deal. Beefy Bob said he’s still very grateful for what you did. I’ll talk to him again and see if he still wants to help us.”After they arrived home, Allegra went upstairs to continue working. Meanwhile, Isaac took out his phone and dialed Beefy Bob’s number.“Find out what other companies will bid for Pegasus No. 1 tender in three days. Have the Assassin Squad make the necessary arrangements.”Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the bidding war took place at the Swansdown Hotel in Cloud City.Allegra hadn’t slept a wink the night before. She woke up in the morning and did her makeup, but her dark eye circles were still rather prominent. She really didn’t have the confidence to attend the tender bidding war.“Ally, it’s time to go.” Isaac walked to the room.At that moment, Allegra’s phone rang. It was Ms. Sawyer calling to tell her that the documents were r

Isaac turned to look at Ms. Sawyer, frowning. “Why is it only 500 million dollars? Didn’t you go to Watson for financing?”“Mr. Garten, we don’t even have 500 million dollars now. Ms. Booth said she was too embarrassed to go to Watson,” Ms. Sawyer said, upset.Seeing Allegra walk down with tears in her eyes, Isaac frowned, stood, and walked up the stage.He stopped Allegra and said lowly, “Don’t go yet. Let’s go up there and try again.”“Who are you? Why are you two coming up again?” The man on stage pointed at Isaac.“Ms. Booth only shared one of our alternative proposals. We still have another one we haven’t pitched.” Isaac continued to pull Allegra on stage.“What? Don’t…”Isaac stared at the man coldly and said, “According to the rules, each company gets ten minutes. Most of these companies went overtime, so why are you singling out Garth Properties?”The man didn’t know how to respond to that rebuttal. “Hurry up, then,” he said disdainfully.Allegra stood to one side on t

“Mr. Marsh?” The bald man in the middle immediately recognized him.Herman and Horace both turned to look at him.“What’s the personal secretary of the big guy doing here?” Herman squinted his eyes. He suddenly had a bad gut feeling.The people on stage stood up and smiled at Louis. “Mr. Marsh, what are you doing here?”Louis stepped forward to greet them. “Oh, my boss is quite interested in this piece of land, Pegasus No. 1. He said this would impact Cloud City’s sustainable development plan for the next ten years or even in the long run, so he asked me to have a look into this. I don’t have any other intentions besides watching. You all may proceed.” Afterward, he turned around and went straight over to Garth Properties.Louis took a seat next to Allegra and even greeted Isaac next to her with a nod.When the bald man on stage saw this, he sucked in a cold breath, rubbing his chin.There must be an underlying meaning to the seat that Mr. Marsh chose!Herman’s mouth twitched
