"Evie, didn't you sleep well last night? Your dark circles look pretty bad," Allegra greeted Evie in the morning. After she was taken away by the authorities last night, Evie hadn't told Isaac anything about it and even helped her cover it up, so Allegra was grateful to her for that.Evie glared at the both of them and said, "Why don't I just move downstairs and be neighbors with Ms. Lambert instead? Can't you both be less rough and noisy at night, at least for Isabella?"Gasp!Allegra blushed deeply and hung her head at once. She reached out and pinched Isaac on the waist hard. Then, she looked back at Evie and said, "Speak for yourself. He's spending the night tonight in your room. Hmph."Evie looked at Isaac in confusion and caught his gaze on her. She suddenly felt herself blushing too.Isaac ended up not having breakfast at home because he was going out to see Diana later. After sending Isabella to school, there was still plenty of time before their meet-up at 8 am, so he went to

The waitress immediately started tearing up. "Isaac, Barry's wife came earlier today along with a man. She accused Barry of being shameless for not caring about her after he made a fortune. She then demanded that he pay up for her giving birth to his child, insisting on money to compensate for her youth, and called him all sorts of derogatory names. She wanted a total of one million dollars!"She continued, "Barry's business has only been picking up recently, and she chose this time to show up and demand money from him. We all can vouch for Barry; we know he's a good man. That woman left a nasty taste in all of our mouths!""That's enough, Penny Smith. Don't say anything more," Barry reprimanded the woman. He then turned to Isaac and said, "Look, Isaac, I don't want to trouble you any further. This is my own family matter, so I—""She still has the balls to demand money from you? After abandoning you and Kai and sleeping with other men? How did she find out that you were here?" Isaac a

Isaac took out his phone and dialed Louis' number. After the other party picked up, he said, "Louis, get me the best lawyer in Southland. I want to file a lawsuit.""M—Mr. Garten, you want to file a lawsuit? Someone actually dared to sue you?" Louis was so surprised that he stammered for a bit.Isaac then filled him in on the events earlier. Louis told Isaac to count on him before hanging up."Alright, let's continue with dinner. It's not good to waste such perfectly grilled ribs like these," Isaac said, returning to his seat. But Barry had lost his appetite a long time ago.Less than an hour later, they heard the clackings of high heels entering the restaurant. It was a lady wearing a baby blue vest, black pencil skirt, black leggings, black high heels, and holding an intricate suitcase in her hand."Excuse me, who is Mr. Garten?" The short-haired lady walked up to the table and looked around before settling her gaze on Isaac."That would be me.""Hello, Mr. Garten. My name is Judy Wi

"What's wrong with the lights?" Diana muttered. She got her phone out and was about to call her colleagues when the lights suddenly went back on again.However, this time, there was a figure sitting in front of her desk, and it was all dressed in black. Diana was so startled that she backed away in shock and reached for her gun."Officer Taylor, there's something I'd like to talk to you about," the black figure said in a familiar voice.The figure then pulled down the black mask obscuring her face, and Allegra's face came into view."M—Ms. Booth?" Diana's eyes enlarged.Allegra said coldly, "Your office is running on backup power. The cameras aren't working, so nobody knows I'm here.""What are you trying to do?" Diana touched the gun holster on her waist and suddenly felt a lot safer.Suddenly, Allegra's eyes turned completely black. Dark smoke also appeared behind her, scaring Diana so much that she got goosebumps all over her body. Her mouth fell open."See, this is how I look like

From her 15 years of experience, this was the first time Judy had ever come across such treatment.In fact, Isaac never appeared once, but the order of events that the court gave her seemed to follow Isaac's plans to a T.On the fifth day, Isaac got up from bed, kissed his wife on the forehead, and went to get dressed.He had recovered completely by now. Also, today was the date of Barry's court hearing, and he had to go and attend.Shawn called him last night and informed him that he managed to get 90 percent of all the evidence Judy needed from them. The other ten percent was due to time constraints.The sun had just risen, and Barry was already pacing in front of the court gates. He had severe dark circles under his eyes. He had no idea that the date of his court hearing would arrive so quickly. Most importantly, he didn't know if he was going to win this case or not.At the very least, his first meeting with Ms. Winters had also been the last.Isaac got down from his car and saw th
