“Five million dollars?” Eugene’s eyes were as wide as saucers.The total of this factory and all its assets wasn’t even worth two million dollars. Even if he added the raw materials and staff into the picture, it was worth three million dollars at best.“Mr. Booth, I’m about to sign a few huge business deals with the other business owners along the coast. One deal would bring in over 200 thousand dollars in profits. If you find it too expensive, you can give it some more thought. Either way, I’m in no rush.”Clearly, Mr. Delbach wouldn’t sell the factory unless he got his five million dollars.“Mr. Delbach, my father-in-law truly wants this factory. To me, it doesn’t look like the business is doing well. I’ll name a price—one million dollars in cash. If you’re willing, you can always reach us out,” Isaac said.His offer shocked Eugene.One million dollars? There was no way in hell.As expected, Mr. Delbach’s expression soured. He pointed at Isaac and shouted, “Young man, which b

Edward laughed sinisterly and said, “My dear niece, don’t get your panties into a twist. I have the evidence right here. Listen to this voice recording. Is this your man or not?”With that, he pulled out his phone and played an audio file. A voice very similar to Isaac’s was heard, “Barney, you must keep this a secret. The target is named Margaret. Kill her, and I’ll pay you three million dollars and sponsor you to live abroad for a few years. If you don’t manage to kill her, find a place to hide until you can make another move.”“Yes, Isaac. I’ll do as you say.”Listening to this short exchange, Allegra staggered backward, almost falling onto the floor.Eugene also looked shocked. T—This was really Isaac’s voice!“I—Isaac would never do something like this,” Allegra muttered to herself, shaking her head.Margaret suddenly went mad and grabbed Allegra’s arm. She bawled, “You idiot, how long will you let him lie to you? Once, he had become a murderer and a death row convict becaus

After Alec saw Isaac stab his son’s hand, he decided to press charges and have Isaac arrested.“Andy, what are you doing just standing there? Call the law enforcement!” he roared.“D—Don’t make the call. Andrew, don’t get your brother-in-law arrested!” Allegra screamed fearfully.Isaac glanced at Edward, who was lying on the couch, looking pale. He roared, “Call them! I want you to call law enforcement. Do you want me to tell you the number?” Then, he turned around and wrapped his arm around Allegra’s shoulders. “Ally, the truth isn’t as they say. If I wanted to kill your mother, it wouldn’t be in such a cumbersome manner.”Isaac hadn’t been far away from home earlier. He was worried that something would happen here, so he hung around outside the neighborhood.He was surprised when he received Eugene’s text. When did he become the culprit behind the contract killing? And what agreement had they threatened Allegra into signing?“Then tell me, why does he have evidence? They said t

“H—How dare you hit me?” Margaret already looked disheveled, her dark eyes staring straight at Allegra.Allegra was also breathing heavily but didn’t back away even an inch. She just held onto Isaac’s arm, pointed at Margaret, and shouted angrily, “He is my man. Seven years ago, you did the same thing to him. Seven years ago, you made him a scapegoat and a convicted murderer. But today, I’m not the same Allegra as before. Margaret, if you only continue to help your maiden family, then from today onward, our relationship as mother and daughter is over!” Her eyes reddened as she spoke, and her voice kept increasing in volume. By the end of her speech, she was screaming.Margaret was taken aback by this roar. She had never seen her daughter so tough or fierce before nor so protective of someone.From behind, Harry took a deep breath and mumbled, “Allegra, you’re doing great!”At that moment, Andrew got in Allegra’s face and roared, “Allegra, you bitch, how dare you hit my mother? I’

Isaac said that he felt like having some stew. At once, Diana’s office was turned into a stew kitchen, with fresh meats and vegetables being cut and prepared by the officers outside.Around 9.30 pm later, Diana pushed the door open and said excitedly, “The results are out. It was Edward! Edward was the culprit, after all!”Louis trembled all over. He looked at Isaac, who was yawning with his eyes shut, and said, “Mr. Garten, the results say that the real culprit is the bastard next door.”“Officer Taylor, you did really well. Once this case is cracked, I’ll give you a proper award,” Louis said with a nod.Just then, the phone in his pocket started ringing.He saw the number on the screen, and his facial expression changed at once. He answered the call and said, “Mr. Hart, good evening. Yes, I’m at the Law Enforcement Office now. Okay, alright!”He hung up and went over to whisper in Isaac’s ear, “Mr. Garten, Mr. Hart is waiting outside. He said he’d like to see you in his car for a lit
