“I always speak my mind. Not to mention, I didn’t say anything wrong. If you’re smarter than Gregory, then you’d better shut your mouth!” Isaac slowly took out a cigarette and lit it.At the side, Mandy was crying from rage. William gritted his teeth. He pulled Mandy into his arms and shouted at Isaac, “Mandy is my woman. If you call her a beautified chamber pot, then you’re insulting me too, is that right?”Isaac let out a small laugh. “Someone who fucks a beautified chamber pot daily is a shit stick, no?”Allegra couldn’t stop herself from laughing out loud. Some people around the table almost burst out laughing too. They all covered their mouths as their bodies shook.William slammed his fist on the table. “Punk, it seems like you no longer want to live.”A bespectacled man stood up and tried to mediate the situation. “Come on, Mr. Merck, Mandy. Is it necessary to argue with a prisoner? Allegra is a disfigured hag, but she’s still our classmate. Since she has thick enough skin

Allegra’s body began to fall toward the ground, but Isaac caught her. A look of panic flashed through his eyes, but he quickly calmed himself down.“You won’t die as long as I’m here.” His eyes were unbelievably gentle as he held Allegra.He turned to look at William, his expression frigid. “If anything happens to Ally, I will make you wish you were dead.”“Hah, even now, you dare to speak so arrogantly?” William burst out laughing instead. With a ferocious look, he smiled and said, “I have another glass of poisoned wine. If you don’t want your woman to die, drink it, and I’ll give you the antidote. However, there’s only one antidote!”Another man handed him a new glass of wine. William simultaneously took out a brown pill from his pocket, waving it in front of Isaac.From William’s point of view, Isaac only had two options now—watch his woman die or drink the poisoned wine. Everything was now in his control!Everyone’s gaze was transfixed on Isaac’s face. In front of him was ano

“Isaac, how could you inflict such injury on my nephew?” Allen pointed a finger at Isaac, his face dark with rage.“You should’ve listened to my words.” Isaac lit a cigarette and puffed on it as he looked at Allen.Craig was standing with one hand behind his back. He looked away from Isaac and asked Allen, “Mr. Merck, is this the man you’ve been telling me about? The one who caused your son’s death?”“It is,” said Allen through gritted teeth.Craig chuckled. “He’s arrogant indeed. I wonder if his abilities are as great as his ego.”Simon tugged at Craig’s shirt and begged, “Mr. Hughes, please save my son. You’ll have the Merck family's utmost gratitude if you get rid of that bastard.”Craig smiled as he turned to look at Allen.“Your help will be greatly appreciated, Mr. Hughes,” said Allen humbly.“Alright. Since you’ve spoken, I see no reason to decline.” With a huge leap, Craig landed in front of Isaac.Allen and Simon heaved a sigh of relief when Craig made his move. Besid

Isaac thought there was no need to pay heed to Margaret and Andrew, but Allegra could not just leave them be. She left the hotel even though she was exhausted.At the gates of Riverview Villa No. 5, Andrew and Margaret held some gifts in their hands. They looked at the emerging black Land Rover.Andrew squinted and said enviously, “That little bitch really sucked up to that punk, huh?”“Hold your tongue. We’re here to ask for forgiveness, so you’d better behave nicely. When this ungrateful girl enters our company and comes to your grandfather’s birthday celebration, we can go hard with her,” scolded Margaret. As the Land Rover approached, Margaret put on a warm smile.It was not Margaret’s idea to come here today. Randall asked her to, saying he had other plans for Isaac.Allegra hated Margaret and Andrew for what they did. But now that everything had settled, her heart softened, as most children would.As soon as Allegra got down from the car, Margaret went up to her and held he

With Sean’s promise, the Merck family’s confidence expanded like a balloon. It was as if they could already see Isaac’s agony.At night, Allegra received a call from Serena just as she reached home. Serena needed Isaac’s help at Scott’s Bar. Isaac was watching the news when Beefy Bob came in. He stood behind Isaac and stole several glimpses at him. He looked like he had something to say.“What is it?” asked Isaac suddenly. As if he had eyes at the back of his head.Beefy Bob gave his broadest smile. “Isaac, remember the friend I once mentioned? He really wants to meet you. If it’s okay with you, I’ll call him over.”“Bobby, do I need to repeat myself?” said Isaac, looking at Beefy Bob.Beefy Bob shuddered at the mention of his real name. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.“It’s… it’s not what you think, Isaac. I just thought that with his achievements at the provincial capital, my friend could be of help to Allegra’s career.” Beefy Bob wiped off his sweat and bowed subconsci
