"Are you awake, Mr. Garten? Do a quick wash-up and get ready for dinner. Mrs. Garten is coming back soon." Holly changed how she addressed them."Is Ally coming home?" asked Isaac.Holly smiled. "That's right. She called me this afternoon and specifically said she was joining you for dinner. Oh, Mr. Booth said he has a business dinner tonight and won't be coming back."She was referring to Eugene. Eugene's business was flourishing day by day.Allegra arrived home in a cream suit. She changed her shoes and quickly walked in, smiling when she saw Isaac sipping his coffee on the couch."Isaac, I heard you were outstation last night. Is everything okay?" Allegra sat on the sofa and leaned on Isaac's shoulder, gazing at him with a concerned look.Allegra's face had recovered its radiance, and her eyes were sparkling. Isaac smiled and pecked her cheek, saying, "What could happen? I'm fine and dandy, aren't I?""Ms. Lambert is here. Don't be cheeky." Allegra sprung up as though the cou

"Damn it! That bitch should just go to hell!" Andrew grabbed his crutches and got off the bed.He never thought his wife would cheat on him, and his mother caught her in action too.Andrew had the desire to kill."Andy, Andy, don't act rashly. Hold yourself together even if divorce is inevitable. Andy—""Get away from me. I swear to god—I'll kill that bitch and her fucking lover today!" Andrew growled as he shoved Margaret aside. He left the ward at top speed.Margaret was worried something terrible might happen, so she went after him.Another taxi stopped before the residential area. Andrew stomped out of the car in his hospital gown and went toward his house, completely ignoring Margaret's advice.He even bought a fruit knife at the convenience store before charging into the elevator.After unlocking the door, they entered to see Daisy and Bert cuddling each other on the couch. Five thugs with dyed hair and cigarettes dangling from their mouths stood behind them.They seemed

An hour later, a group of men in black clothes brought Bert and Daisy into the living room. They both looked scared. Shawn walked in after them in a trench coat and went to Isaac.Those two were undeniably passionate; they were still at it when Shawn and his men barged into the room.Bert shouted at them arrogantly but soon peed himself when he realized the man capturing him was the underground lord, Shawn Xeno.He only realized the reason behind his capture when he entered the living room and saw the people inside."Mr. Garten, I ran a background check on him. His family runs a business on building materials and owns several shops in the industry. Their net assets are worth seven to eight million dollars. However, his father earned those bucks—this guy had nothing to do with the businesses. Should I take down his family?"Bert dropped to his knees when he heard Shawn. He sobbed and begged, "Mr. Xeno, please forgive me. I'm sorry! It's all my fault. Please let me go.""Shut your

Earl was stunned. Scorn filled his eyes.He took two steps closer to Evie, but Evie stepped backward. He lowered his voice and said, "Isaac is dead. Stop thinking about him."Evie's eyes widened, and she stared at Earl.Her horrified expression pleased him. He laughed and said in a low voice, "Your father and my teacher's trusted subordinate, Garett, killed him with their own hands under my teacher's orders. Think about it. Could Isaac have survived if these two men had joined hands? Garett himself told me about how Isaac was severely injured and healing himself in a therapeutic bath. Garett and your father broke his neck. Oh, right. They killed him in his subordinate's clinic."Evie looked mortified. She didn't know how to react. She backed up and shook her head. "No, that's impossible. That's a lie…"Memories of her and Isaac flitted across her mind. She wept silently and dashed out of the room."Evie, that's your fate, and you should accept it," Earl's complacent yell came fro

Half an hour later, Elder Giverny, still dressed in his dark purple robe, roared at Earl as he kneeled on the ground, "What do you mean Isaac is still alive? How did you know that?""Sir, you know that I've always been in love with Evie. I heard from my men that Evie might be leaving the sect, so I asked them to keep an eye on her. Who would have thought that she left by herself sometime after midnight? I was worried for her safety, so I told them to follow her and keep her safe. However, Evie went straight to Cloud City and even went on a date with Isaac!"In anger, Elder Giverny slapped his palm against the table, slicing the furniture in half. He emitted a murderous aura that filled the entire room."Tell Garett and Thaddaeus to get their asses here, now!" The attendants outside shook in fright and ran off to find the two people.A while later, Garett and Thaddaeus arrived. Garatte had a sleepy look on his face, while Thaddaeus looked rather worried. When he saw Earl kneeling on th
