The judge's gavel hammered down, and that was that. Judy felt her heart sinking. Had she just lost a case for the first time in her life?Karen was stunned at first, but almost at once, a smug grin appeared on her face.Just then, Judy's phone buzzed in her hand. She quickly read the new message on her phone and immediately said in a loud voice, "Please wait a minute. I would like to request that the court be adjourned. I have new evidence to present.""Nonsense, Ms. Winters! You're an esteemed lawyer in Southland. Don't you know that I will no longer accept any new evidence after I have announced my ruling?" Huey fiercely said as he looked at Judy.Judy gritted her teeth and got up, heading for the podium.The bailiffs looked like they wanted to stop her, but neither moved a muscle.Judy hurried up the podium and showed Huey something on her phone. Then, she whispered something in his ear.Huey's face immediately darkened. Judy looked at him in scorn before getting down from the podiu

Louis undoubtedly understood what he was trying to tell him. He immediately told Barry that he would come over often for his food. This was indeed a huge honor for Barry—after all, Louis was the youngest deputy mayor of Southland!On the way back to Cloud City, Isaac took out his phone and called Allegra. As soon as she picked up the call, he asked, "Ally, Louis just told me about an upcoming development project at a scenic area in Carbotta City. Do you think our company should get involved?""Isaac, we're already proceeding with the second stage of development here. Our funds are a little tight at the moment. That new developmental project sounds big. I heard it's also part of Carbotta City's plan to reconstruct the whole area. That's not something we can do overnight. Do you think we'd still want to get involved?"She threw the ball back into Isaac's court."Alright, if we don't have enough workforce for that project, then we'll just forget about it. Don't want to overwork ourselves,

Isaac entered Evie's room, which was just illuminated by a dim lamp on the wall. Evie was wearing a nightgown and lying in bed when she saw that Isaac had entered. Immediately, her eyes shot wide open, and she said in a low voice, "Wait, you're really sleeping here tonight?""Where else am I supposed to sleep? Ally said she was tired from running around all day, and she had already fallen asleep. And I need to talk to someone who's still awake, don't I?" Isaac then got onto the bed and crawled under her covers, making Evie exclaim in surprise."What do you want to talk about in the middle of the night?" Evie asked, keeping her voice so low as if she feared someone else might hear them.All of a sudden, she felt a hand snaking into her nightgown. She exclaimed again, saying, "Hey, w—what are you doing? Isaac—"Click!Isaac reached up and turned off the lights. A while later, their unmistakable sounds of lovemaking filled the room.The next morning, Evie was a little unsteady on her feet

Just as the dozens of bodyguards rushed toward Isaac, a black Land Cruiser rushed to the scene, followed by another, and another, and another. A total of eight Lands Cruisers arrived, and they all surrounded Sheldon and his bodyguards.The doors opened. Shawn and about 80 or so men dressed in black marched over with heavy footsteps. More than half of them were buzz cut and emitted a powerful, combative aura. It took Isaac just one look to know that they were all veteran soldiers."Mr. Garten, how may we be of assistance?" Shawn asked as he stepped forward.Isaac pointed at Sheldon and his gang of bodyguards before saying coldly, "Tear off their clothes and dunk them in the Cloud River." Then, he turned and left for his car.Behind him, Sheldon's angry shouts and cries could be heard. "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Watch out. I'm the representative from Warhunt Corporation! Unhand me—Stop! Hey, stop that! Wait …" After getting into the car, Emily looked at Isaac with a shocked exp

Diana hollered into the woods with her hailer.Allegra was hiding under a huge tree when she heard this. She tremendously shivered as she curled up and hugged her knees, looking like the picture of a scared kitty. She couldn't control herself at times, so why was Diana cornering her like this?That woman was just too evil!"I'm going to count down from ten. If you don't come out by then, I'm going to call Isaac," Diana yelled again, her eyes cold and determined. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, …"Diana thought that she was doing the right thing. If Allegra came out, the officers would immediately take her down with their guns, and she would be dead as a doornail. Her death would be justified because Allegra was a ruthless murderer. What could Isaac do about it?Also, there was another subconscious thought deep inside Diana's mind. If Allegra was dead, that meant Diana would have another chance at Isaac!Of course, nobody knew her true thoughts. Even Diana probably didn't want to put too much
