It was the most pain that Alexis had ever experienced in her life. Initially, she felt so hot, as if she was being roasted over a fire pit. Even her skin was prickling with scorching heat.Then, she felt so cold, as though she'd been plunged into an icy cave. She shivered violently from head to toe. Finally, her limbs felt like they were being pricked by thousands of needles. It hurt so badly that she almost passed out a few times.Nonetheless, she didn’t let out a single sound throughout the entire process. She knew that if she could get through it, she'd become much stronger, and one day, she'd finally be able to avenge the hundreds of students of the Holy Division.At that moment, a pair of hands touched her lightly in the middle of her back. She then heard Isaac’s deep voice, “Almost there. It’ll be over soon.”A large burst of spiritual energy suddenly surged through her body, flowing to her limbs and seeping into her blood vessels.She could even feel her blood vessels expan

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed. The new township project was already in full swing. Hundreds of heavy machines were already running around the clock.Garth Properties was becoming more and more well-known. In the eyes of the public, Garth Properties’ “close collaboration” with Gould Properties had somehow been twisted into a fairytale. After all, Edward was Allegra’s uncle.Whether it was the Goulds or the Booths, their names had become the talk of the town in Cloud City or even the whole Southland.Hence, Allegra had been exceptionally busy the past few days. As her reputation improved, she started getting invited to various business and government meetings. Sometimes, she didn’t even have the time to go home to eat dinner.Meanwhile, every weekend, Isaac would wait at the school gate to pick Isabella up. Then, the father and daughter would enjoy some quality bonding time.On Monday night, Isaac’s phone suddenly vibrated.When he saw that it was Emily’s number, he pause

Allegra arrived very quickly. Her cheeks were slightly flushed; evidently, she’d just come from a dinner engagement.As she entered the hospital room, Isaac exited the next room and walked to the corridor.When Margaret saw that Allegra had come, she didn’t dare raise her gaze to look at her.But Andrew went straight to the point and said, “Allegra, Mom is already in such a state. As her daughter, shouldn’t you take some responsibility?”Daisy also frowned and added, “Your home in the Cloud Nine Villas is huge; it wouldn’t matter if one more person moved in. You can hire a few nurses to look after her. Andrew and I would be very grateful.”Looking at Margaret in the hospital bed and then at Andrew and his wife, Allegra suddenly burst into loud laughter.She turned to Margaret, muttering in an icy tone, “I remember her saying a long time ago that I was no longer her daughter, and Bella isn’t her granddaughter. She called her a bastard child and a lowlife. Now you think of me only

“Can she be saved?” Isaac asked without thinking.“She still has a pulse, but I can’t save her here. I’ll keep her pulse going first, but we have to take her somewhere else.” Harry’s expression was solemn.Then, he carried Margaret, whose face had turned purple, out of the hospital room while Isaac led the way.They arrived at a hotel and booked a room. At first, the manager looked at them with suspicion, but they quickly got a room after Isaac slammed ten thousand dollars onto the counter.After reaching the room, Isaac stayed outside for the time being. He trusted Harry’s healing abilities.As dawn broke, an exhausted Harry finally came out of the room.He found Isaac leaning on the wall with his eyes closed. He immediately raised his spirits and said, “Sir, I managed to bring her back, but I’ll need two days to treat her completely.”“Alright. Don’t let her know that I’m the one helping her. Do as you see fit,” Isaac said after a moment of thought.It was still early when he

At the city’s eastern precinct, Isaac got out of the car with a cold expression. He and Serena rushed inside.She’d been stunned to hear that Allegra had been arrested. She only heard the full story later.Allegra wasn’t locked in the interrogation room but in a private office. A female officer was asking her questions and taking down notes. Overall, her attitude was quite pleasant.Meanwhile, Andrew and Captain Foley stood outside, smoking and chatting. They were completely unaware that someone had entered from behind.“Captain Foley, I’m telling you without a doubt that Allegra was the one who took my mother. She might even be in danger right now. You won’t get anything out of her just by asking a few questions like this; you need to go harder on her.”“Mr. Booth, your sister is now a prominent figure in Cloud City. She can speak directly to someone like Louis Marsh. We need evidence—we can’t just resort to tougher methods because of hearsay.” Captain Foley was in a difficult po
