For the past two days, Old Brooks had been in a dilemma. He used to be a cab driver until his daughter was murdered. If it weren’t for Isaac’s intervention, he’d probably be dead by now.However, Edward’s big boss kept trying to lure him to their side. If they’d tried doing it one month ago, Old Brooks would have firmly rejected them without even thinking.The thing was, after getting slapped in the face by Isaac twice and having Shawn get taken away from him, Old Brooks kept feeling more and more uneasy.He was in charge of most of the shadier dealings in all of Southland. It was a very huge area to cover, and honestly, he was getting tired. More importantly, he thought it was time for him to stop hustling and look forward to retirement instead.However, what he wanted seemed to go against Isaac’s plan. In fact, it seemed as if Isaac trusted Shawn more than he trusted him.The last realization stuck into his heart like a wild thorn.His phone suddenly started ringing. Old Brooks was s

Old Brooks received a call from Shawn when he was still in Cloud City. When he learned that Isaac wanted to see him in Cloud City, he suddenly felt his heart thumping against his chest.About an hour later, Old Brooks’ Maybach slowly rolled into the garden entrance at Crawford Lane. He saw Isaac’s lone silhouette by the pond from afar.“Devon, will you be alright going there alone? Do you want me to come with you?” His cousin, the driver, frowned when he caught sight of Isaac.Wasn’t that the guy who slapped his cousin in the face at Hibiscus Pavilion the other day?“Shut up and just wait for me here,” Old Brooks said with a huff as he opened the door and walked out, pretending to be calm as water. He headed toward the garden.On the way here, he’d thought of a lot of things. The first thing that came to his mind was that Isaac had found out about his secret communication with Jordyn.However, he quickly shook off the thought, thinking that if Isaac had found out he was in contact with

When Allegra saw a stunning lady dressed in a navy blue leather jacket strutting into the inn, she was a little stunned.This newcomer had fairly tan skin, and her eyes were bright. She looked like she had her shit together.“Ally, meet Black Phoenix. She’s a friend of mine. Since she kind of looks like you, I’ll be having her masquerade as you for the next few days,” Isaac explained simply.“Hello, Ms. Booth,” Black Phoenix said as she smiled and waved at Allegra.Allegra couldn’t stop staring at the LV bag in Black Phoenix’s hands. She smiled awkwardly back at her.Shawn then came in with a huge makeup bag and said, “Isaac, I’m ready.”“Good. Get started, then. I’ll wait outside.”To be an Ace soldier, one had to be competent in all sorts of skills needed on the battleground, and that also included the art of disguise.Regular makeup artists were nothing but child’s play before a true master in the art of disguise.Isaac’s plan was to confuse the enemies with a real and fake Allegra.

Isaac turned around and saw that the speaker was a lady in a revealing cami dress and black stockings. She was staring condescendingly at the both of them.Next to the lady was another girl holding an umbrella over her head.“Isaac, I got eliminated from the auditions because someone threw water at my face in the middle of it all. The director eliminated me because of that! It’s not fair!” Serena glanced at Ginger and started crying again.“Oh? You should have seen yourself act. You were worse than trash. But what are you going to do about it, anyway? The director has already made the announcement that I got the role. Even if you got your boy toy and cried your eyes out, nothing will change,” Ginger said, smiling widely as she gloated.The girl holding the umbrella chuckled coldly and said, “Ms. Adams, you don’t have to waste your breath on a nobody like her. After all, you’re going to be the newest rising star in the entertainment industry!”When she heard what the girl said, Ginger s

Serena looked briefly at the terrified Ginger and gritted her teeth, saying, “I can beat her.”Nick and Isaac sat behind a long table while Quentin stood behind them with a swollen face.One of the crew members was called over. Nick said to him, “Could you please lie down over there with your eyes closed and not move? Thank you.”Serena and Ginger were puzzled when they saw the crew member lying down behind them. They had no idea what Nick was going to do.Nick addressed the two women with a smile. “Acting takes a lot of skill, talent, and practice. A brilliant actor needs to be good in every aspect. I’m going to give you an impromptu situation and it’s up to you how you want to act. Whoever does better will be given the role, understand?”After that, Nick pointed at the man lying on the ground. “This young man is a close relative of yours who just passed away. Now, I want you both to express your sadness upon losing a close family member. Each of you will have five minutes to do so. S
