Isaac went back. His eyes met Serena's as soon as he opened the door."Mister, I'm afraid." Serena bit her lips, tears welling in her eyes."Silly girl. He's just a thug. There's nothing to be afraid of." Isaac patted her shoulder.Serena lowered her voice, "Wilson reserved the whole cafe before my parents and I entered. I have no idea how he found out.""He reserved the whole place?" Isaac frowned.If so, there were only two possibilities; either Wilson had been stalking Serena for some time, or someone aware of Serena's plans had leaked her whereabouts to Wilson. The first scenario seemed less likely as Wilson could have acted whenever Serena was alone. Therefore, the second scenario was more plausible.Suddenly, Isaac thought of Margaret. Harper mentioned bringing Emma to the provincial capital during lunchtime."Stop worrying. I'll talk with him and demand an apology." Isaac broke out of his thoughts and smiled softly.Serena shook her hands violently. "Don't go, mister.
Isaac slapped Wilson again. Blood spurted from Wilson's nose as he fell onto the bed."Since it's your territory, everyone here should know you well, Mr. Kenne!" Isaac chuckled.Wilson's hair stood on end when he saw Isaac's smile. He was fearful. "Wh—what do you want? You'd better think thrice before you do anything, Isaac—"Isaac slapped him again."Shut up!"Wilson almost blacked out from the third slap. There was a sudden pain on his scalp as Isaac tugged his hair.Isaac dragged Wilson along by his hair all the way to the living room. He found a piece of cardboard and a pen and thrust them in front of Wilson."Write 'I am Wilson Kenne and I am a son of a bitch.'""Over my dead body! Ouch!" Wilson screamed.Isaac treaded on Wilson's ankle and pressed down harder.Wilson cried out for mercy, "Okay! Okay! I'll write it. Let me go!"Under pressure, Wilson wrote what was asked of him in horrible writing.Then, Isaac made Wilson take the cardboard as he dragged him out.Isaa
Wilson's body was as stiff as a board as he looked up at Serena. Voice raspy, he apologized, "I—I'm sorry.""I don't need your apology, jerk," Serena scolded before walking away.After Isaac and Serena left, Wilson stood up slowly. His face twisted into a menacing expression as he gasped for air."One more look from you, and I'll hunt your families down. Scram!" Wilson screamed at the onlookers hysterically.The onlookers backed up, terrified.At this moment, several black cars swooped into the hospital.The first car was a Range Rover. Behind it was a stretched Maybach and three Audis.The cars stopped right at the entrance. Twenty men in suits hurried toward Wilson. Mr. Bleu, in a black velvet robe, got off the Maybach, followed by Horace in a gray suit."Isn't that the King of Aurum County, Horace Kenne?""It is. I saw him once. Let's get out of his way. This man is intimidating."The guards pushed the crowd back.Horace and Mr. Bleu walked up to Wilson.Horace's mouth t
Edward judged the situation before him and started laughing. "You're truly amazing, Mr. Kenne! You must've enjoyed the night.""Hah! Yes, indeed." Wilson smiled coldly.Edward snickered as he presented the gift. "You must be tired. Here, I brought you some supplements. These are highly nutritional."Wilson took the gift box and thrust it on the floor. He stared at Edward before asking, "Eddy, did you do it on purpose?""What do you mean?" Edward realized something was not right."Guards! Beat him up!" Wilson bellowed. Five guards entered the room."Mr. Kenne, what is going on? Ouch!"The guards promptly started beating Edward up."Throw him out when you're done. Loser." Wilson spat and lay down on the bed.Half an hour later, Edward limped out of the villa covered in bruises. In the car, he pressed hard on his bleeding nose with one hand as he dialed Randall's number with the other.He was confused. Everything had gone well yesterday, but why was Mr. Kenne acting differently
Aside from the start-up capital for her company, Allegra didn’t have anything else. Luckily for her, she had a friend in the Labor Bureau who offered to help her organize a recruitment fair to hire employees.Besides, her friend also advertised the recruitment fair for free and got a few other friends to help out. Allegra was very thankful to her for this.The next day, Allegra put on some simple makeup and hurriedly went out. Before leaving, she asked Isaac to help out later as well.When Isaac reached the 17th floor, he was a little too early. A sign on the door said ‘Garth Properties 1st Recruitment Fair’.Allegra was bustling around inside. A young man kept hovering around her as she worked.Seeing that Isaac and Beefy Bob had arrived, Allegra hurried over and handed each of them a uniform.“We’re a little short on people right now. Can you help us out?”Beefy Bob took the black uniform from her and saw the logo on it that read ‘Nebula Security’.He chuckled when he saw that Isaac
Allegra’s face drained of all its blood immediately. She staggered backward.The entire crowd started to fuss and talk among themselves. Everyone looked at Allegra in shock; they couldn’t believe that such a pretty woman used to be a janitor.Andrew raised his hand and shouted, “I’m Allegra Booth’s brother, Andrew Booth, and I can confirm that she used to be a janitor. She’s specifically in charge of scrubbing the toilet bowls. She has completely zero knowledge of managing a company! If you work under her, I can promise that this company will no doubt go bankrupt within six months!”The jobseekers threw a louder, hissier fit when they heard that. They were angry, and some of them even got up to leave.After all, those who came looking for a job were degree holders, at the very least. Who in their right mind would want to work for a janitor?Allegra stood on the podium and yelled, “Wait, don’t leave! I’m sure that I can manage this company well. Listen to me first!”Nobody wanted to lis
Edward never thought that the huge fuss he’d made would get resolved with just a few words from Isaac. Not a single jobseeker had left.“I believe you, Mr. Garten. Bring me the contract. I’ll sign it immediately!”As soon as one person spoke, the rest followed suit and asked for their employment contracts. Allegra was touched when she saw the scene. Her eyes glistened with tears, but she smiled widely and hurried off to get the contracts immediately.As Isaac got down from the podium, Beefy Bob looked at him in surprise and gave him a thumbs-up. “That was impressive. Very impressive indeed.”“It’s the same principle as hyping the troops before dispatch. Nothing impressive at all.” Isaac then looked up and saw that Edward and Andrew were leaving.Quickly, he went up to them. “Stay where you are.”Edward and Andrew had just reached the elevators. They felt their hearts sink when they turned and saw Isaac walking toward them.“Isaac, you—”A loud slap sounded.Edward hadn’t even said a s
Serena then glanced at Isaac and asked, “Isaac, do you know what day is the day after tomorrow?”“The day after tomorrow? What’s going on?”“Oh, my god. Did you forget your brain in jail? It’s your seventh wedding anniversary, idiot. I can’t believe you forgot it and needed an outsider like me to remind you.”Isaac was stunned. A lot of things ran through his mind. How could he forget? His anniversary was on August 22.“Before you came back, Ally would cry in her room all day on her wedding anniversary. I’d always have to comfort her every year. That’s why I remember the date so clearly. Now that you’re back, even if she doesn’t believe it, I think you should do something for her,” Serena said seriously.“You’re right. What should I get? She already has a new car. Should I gift her a new house?” Isaac scratched his head. He didn’t know what would be an appropriate gift.Serena rolled her eyes and said, “You’re so materialistic. Don’t you remember what you promised her when you were sti
