Edgar’s eyes widened. Then, he shook his head vigorously and said, “Mr. Garten, you sure have a sense of humor. Roger is Watson’s son; how could he…”“If you stay tonight and be on the lookout, you’ll know whether what I’m saying is the truth or otherwise. If Roger truly did it, then tonight would be his last chance to do something. As his uncle, you must stay,” Isaac said in a low voice.Edgar would never have believed this in a million years—how could a son kill his father? But at the same time, he found his brother’s food poisoning a little fishy.“Alright, I’ll do as you say. I’ll find a place to watch over Watson’s hospital room.”Isaac nodded before rolling up his window.At 3 am, Edgar found a room opposite his brother’s room. He shut off the lights and trained his gaze on the opposite room.As he watched Roger and his girlfriend, Daisy Merck, sit by the bed while on their phones, he began to feel sleepy.Suddenly, he saw Roger get up, walk to the window, and draw the cur
The fruit knife lodged in Edgar’s lower back was still dripping with blood. Roger pushed him to the ground, and Daisy knelt beside him, both her hands pressed tightly over his mouth and nose.The loud noise from behind startled the couple. When they turned their heads, they had the living daylights scared out of them.Beefy Bob darted forward, grabbing Roger’s shoulders and shoving him aside.When Beefy Bob stood up, Daisy’s entire body was engulfed in his enormous shadow. She was so terrified that she immediately let go and scrambled backward.On the hospital bed, Watson watched everything unfold with wide eyes as he gulped big mouthfuls of air.Isaac walked over and put the oxygen mask back on. He patted Watson’s shoulder and said, “Old Kane, stay calm. You can wait until you recover before handling this.”Watson looked at Isaac, the oxygen mask fastened to his face, and tears began to flow incessantly. He had never thought that his own son and his new girlfriend would ever try
A chill crossed Isaac’s eyes. “Oh, it was the Mercks. Make these two kneel here until Watson recovers, and we’ll take care of them after that. Keep an eye on them!” Isaac gave Beefy Bob a glance before turning around and walking out.What surprised him was that Allen would actually use the “sex trap” to mess with Roger. He must have racked his brains to come up with this one. After breakfast the next day, Isaac sat on the sofa reading the news. When Allegra came downstairs, he noticed that she was wearing a new green pantsuit and had put on some makeup.She seemed to be in great spirits. She was even smiling unconsciously.“You seem to be in a great mood today,” Isaac said with a smile.Allegra rolled her eyes, saying, “The new company has been registered. Mom said we’re having our first board meeting today, which I need to attend.”“Congratulations, Ms. Booth.” Isaac laughed.“Don’t tease me. The money is borrowed from Mr. Kane Sr. We need to work hard on building the new bus
Isaac didn’t know about Allegra’s predicament at the new company. He was currently at the Beacon Clinic. Watson was now awake and in good spirits.In the hospital room, Edgar, whose back was bandaged up, looked pallid. He stared at Roger and Daisy, who were kneeling at the foot of the bed.“Watson, how should we handle these two animals?” Edgar turned to look at Watson, who sat up.Watson sighed. He looked at Isaac, who was smoking off to the side, and asked, “Mr. Garten, what do you think?”Roger and Daisy had been kneeling the whole night, but even now, they didn’t feel a hint of sleepiness. They simply watched the smoking man in unison.It was because they knew that their fates lay in his hand.“Old Kane, this is your family matter. I don’t want to give a say in this issue.” Isaac smiled slightly, blowing a smoke ring.“Edgar, call law enforcement. Let the law punish them for attempted patricide.” Watson waved his hand.When Roger heard this, his eyes popped open. He bowed b
“Yes. The Gould family is comprised of trash human beings. They took Allegra’s 60 million dollars to start a business, but they only gave her the logistics manager position. Allegra is fuming right now,” Eugene said, gnashing his teeth.Ever since that incident, a rift had formed between him and Margaret. As for the Gould family, he had never liked them anyway.Isaac went to the bedroom upstairs. When he pushed open the door, he saw Allegra crying on the bed.“Ally, I know what happened. Don’t be sad. When your mother is back, I’ll talk to her.” Isaac wanted to pat Allegra on the shoulder, but he stopped himself halfway.Allegra turned around, face streaked with tears. “What’s the point? My uncle is the legal representative. Any changes to the legal representative or upper management require his approval signature. I should have listened to you…” She began to sob even harder.At that moment, her phone began to buzz next to her.When she saw Margaret’s number, she dried her tears
Joe was from Seascape, like Old Brooks. When he used to follow Edward back then, he would frequently call Old Brooks for his taxi services. Now that Old Brooks was the big boss of Cloud City, he had been telling everyone that he and Old Brooks were good friends.And this was one of the reasons that Edward had chosen to come here for dinner.No one could get into fights at the Hibiscus Pavilion, no matter what happened. Big Anthony had set this rule last time, and it had remained intact despite the change in ownership.Joe pointed at Isaac, so furious that he was shaking. “Punk, did you know how Old Brooks squashed Big Anthony with just one hand? If you don’t want to die, get on your knees immediately and apologize to Mr. Gould.”Allegra tugged on Isaac, looking panicked. She whispered, “What are you doing? How can you start a fight here? Hurry and apologize to my uncle. The Hibiscus Pavilion is no joke.”When Isaac didn’t move, Joe said, “Alright, punk. Just wait.”As soon as he
There was the piercing sound of blades clanging. Two of the thugs’ sabers got swept into Isaac’s swift movements and fell to the floor.After a few dull thuds, Isaac launched a kick, and five of the thugs instantly flew backward, falling to the floor with a wail. As the remaining three debated withdrawing, a silver light suddenly blinded them, followed by a sharp pain in their thigh. When they looked down, they saw their flesh had been split open, and blood was gushing from the wound. They collapsed onto the floor with a cry.Everyone in the private room was stupefied except for Edward, who burst into ferocious laughter. “Garten, you really laid a hand on them, huh? You must be sick of living already.”Andre took a step backward, pointing and sneering at Isaac, “Punk, just wait. You’re going to die tonight. Mr. Brooks, come quick! There’s a shithead here who hurt eight of our men, and he specifically asked you to come here. Yes, we have a tough one on our hands.” Then, he gritted hi
Everyone’s eyes popped open. Bob?Then, Beefy Bob’s burly silhouette surfaced in everyone’s mind, including Allegra’s.Not that damn fatso again!Blood was leaking from Edward’s mouth. He was gritting his teeth so hard that they almost cracked.Isaac smiled, pointing at Andre. “Old Brooks, this subordinate of yours just doesn’t cut it. Just now, he asked eight people to barge in here with knives, threatening to crush me. We’re past the era of slashing and killing. If you’re hiring a manager, can’t you find someone who’s knowledgeable, better educated, and more intelligent?”Old Brooks’ mouth twitched violently. He chuckled and nodded, saying, “Thanks for the advice, Mr. Garten. We’ll definitely work on that.”Little did everyone know that when he first heard Andre had threatened to break Isaac’s limbs, all the hairs on his back stood up. He turned around and pointed at Andre.The men in black outside the door immediately understood. They surged in and grabbed Andre.“My pet Tib
