"Mr. Garten!"Fabian and the others lowered their heads and stepped aside.Eugene was working overtime at the factory. He received Isaac's call and rushed back. Isaac said only one sentence over the phone, "It has been too long, and we've been giving the Gould family too many second chances—it's time to settle our scores.""I—Isaac, you! You're so heartless, getting Shawn to burn my office and factories. Are you going to push us over the cliff?" Edward pointed at Isaac, his face contorted with rage.Isaac laughed and lit a cigarette. "I told you I won't take your life, but it's time to pay y'all back for everything y'all had done to Ally and Isabella over these years." Isaac turned to ask Allegra and Eugene, "Ally, Eugene, tell me. How do you want to punish these people? Should I take their lives, or should I not?"Margaret scanned the men in black clothes surrounding them. She recalled how Isaac killed every one of the Neals last night in Seascape with a smile on his face, and he

Isaac immediately put on his T-shirt when he realized it. He smiled. "These were minor injuries. Don't mind them.""Don't cover them." Allegra sat upright and grabbed Isaac's wrist.She got down off the bed and stood beside Isaac. Her delicate fingers traced the scars as her tears trickled uncontrollably.She had never seen these scars on Isaac's body before."How did you manage to come back safely?" Allegra looked up at Isaac with tears in her eyes.Isaac frowned—memories of gruesome battles flashed through his mind.Then, he smiled and held her face in his hands, chuckling, "It's because of you and Isabella. I didn't want to leave you both, so I couldn't die so easily. Hmph…"Allegra stood on tiptoes and kissed him before he could finish speaking.…Isaac woke up feeling fresh. He showered, changed his clothes, worked out a little in the backyard, and went out to get breakfast.The weather was magnificent, but for the Gould family, it was the darkest day of their lives.Ea

During the holidays, Isaac accompanied Isabella every minute of the day. He whipped up various dishes for his precious daughter and brought her on vacation to different parts of Southland.One week went by in the blink of an eye.On the way back to Isabella's school, Isabella suddenly patted Isaac's shoulder, tilted her head, and said hesitantly, "Daddy, our teacher told me the school might recommend me to a better school because I was an excellent student.""A better school? That's marvelous, Isabella," Isaac replied with a smile."I don't want to. I don't want to be far away from Daddy and Mummy." Isabella pursed her lips and looked reluctant.Isaac smiled. "Don't be mad, Isabella. Your teacher has to inform us if they plan to send you to another school. Don't worry."There were indeed many schools better than Carmine Elementary School, but those were in Pecling or Seascape. Some were even in Neuport, a military-based area. Teachers would have to go through parents on such matt

The phone screen lit up along with the annoying vibration."Ph—Phone," said Allegra, gasping for breath.Isaac got up and picked up the phone. It showed Emily's number."Why would Emily call at this hour?" muttered Isaac as he passed the phone to Allegra.Allegra took a deep breath and answered the phone."Ms. Booth. We're in trouble. Someone died on the construction site," Emily's anxious voice came through the receiver. "I'm going there now. Do you want—""I'm coming. Report the incident to the authorities. I'll be there soon." Allegra hung up and scrambled for her clothes.Isaac frowned and asked, "What's wrong?""Emily said someone died on-site. I have to check it out."Isaac looked out the window—there was a storm outside. He picked up his clothes. "I'll go with you. I can't let you drive in this weather."Allegra was stunned. Then, she blushed and nodded.In Cynea, there was a line that manufacturers from any industry should not cross, and that was the involvement of f

Emily was about to get into her car when Isaac called her to Cloud Nine Villas.Dawn was breaking when Isaac finally arrived at the construction site again. Diana and her team were faster. This time, eight law enforcement vehicles and dozens of officers came.The officers barricaded the workers' hostel with yellow tape. The people in charge of the project followed Diana, talking to her with frightened faces.When they saw Isaac, they approached him, shivering."Mr. Garten. T—This incident is truly unheard of. We can only halt all progress now," said a bespectacled middle-aged man. His voice was trembling.He was a professional in large-scale construction projects, renowned nationwide. He had ventured into this field for over 20 years and had been in charge of various projects. But it was his first time facing such incidents."Let's pause for now. We'll proceed when the authorities arrest the murderer and solve the case." Isaac added, "This is Ms. Booth's instructions."Allegra t
