The two officers felt their lips twitching in amusement. However, neither one of them went up to stop the old lady from jumping.The old lady sheepishly looked at Sally, who was completely ignoring her. So, the old lady made another fuss about climbing onto the windowsill. But once she stuck her head out of the window and saw how far up she was, she started to have second thoughts.In the end, the old lady slid to the floor with her back against the wall and slapped her thighs as she wailed loudly, “Why is this happening to me? Why?”She didn’t dare to jump. That meant she had to pay up, somehow or other.Isaac walked up to Isabella and squatted down, telling her in a low voice, “When you’re dealing with bad people like them, remember that you shouldn’t give in to their whims. Do you understand now?”“I understand,” Isabella said with a serious nod.“So, will you still help old folks up if you see them fall?”Isabelle hesitated for only two seconds before saying, “Yes.”Isaac smiled an
Allegra felt even more upset when she looked at Isaac. She kept remembering all the things they’d been through together.“Why don’t you leave first? I’ll stay here with her,” Serena whispered to Isaac.“Tonight—”“Don’t worry, I’ll bring her to The Waterfront Wonderland without fail. Trust me,” Serena said, waving Isaac off.That evening, Isaac reached The Waterfront Wonderland first. He sat on a couch inside the main hall as he waited. This time, Mr. Zane served him personally and dared not leave his post.The restaurant was filled with people as usual. They were all dressed very elegantly.Just then, there was a slight commotion. A long-haired lady in a gray maxi dress and simple makeup entered the restaurant. It was Emily. There were many eyes on her as she walked into the restaurant.“Isaac, you’re here too?” Emily pretended to be surprised and quickly walked toward him.She’d known that Isaac would definitely be here tonight. She wanted to replace Isaac’s first impression of her.
When Isaac came out, Larry was tightly holding Allegra’s hand as they walked into the main dining hall.The Waterfront Wonderland was divided into two segments. The indoor seating area had a regular booth seating layout, and it was surrounded by huge French windows that let in all the natural light. However, it was nothing compared to the beautiful surroundings of the outdoor seating area.According to Mr. Zane, only members were allowed to be seated outdoors.The lake was located up the middle of the hill. There was a glass railing between the lake and the outdoor seating area, which was as large as half a soccer field.The most coveted spot, The Lily Pad, was situated in a little pavilion at the topmost area of the outdoor seating with its own little wooden bridge connecting the pavilion to the rest of the dining area.It had the best view of the lake and its surroundings. Diners wouldn’t even have to stand up to be able to enjoy the scenic view.Larry was just a regular junior staff
In the blink of an eye, Mr. Zane had two security guards drag Larry out.Allegra was anxiously waiting for Isaac inside.“Isaac, you didn’t get into a fight with him, did you?”“No. He said he wasn’t feeling well. Maybe he’s left,” Isaac replied with a smile and a shake of his head.Allegra didn’t quite believe him and wanted to go out to have a look, but she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to escape Larry’s grabbing again. So, she just stayed put.As night fell, the lights gradually turned on outdoors. Just then, a spotlight shone from the top of the restaurant to the bridge connecting the outdoor area with the floating pavilion at The Lily Pad.Everyone in the Waterfront Wonderland saw this spotlight and was shocked as they looked toward it. The spotlight was very rarely turned on. The last time it came on was when the electronics tycoon, Jack March, dined there.“Ms. Booth, Mr. Garten, kindly proceed to The Lily Pad for your dinner reservation tonight,” Mr. Zane said, bowing r
How could they forget their daughter on their seventh anniversary?Isaac couldn’t help smiling upon seeing Allegra turning around to welcome her daughter into her arms.A few waitresses dressed in beautiful traditional clothing started bringing in their entrees. On the other hand, Mr. Zane brought out their most prized red wine and uncorked the bottle.He poured a glass each for Isaac and Allegra before bowing and leaving the pavilion. He knew he would only be the third wheel if he continued staying there.Isabella’s eyes gleamed when she saw the table full of delicious food. She took a bite of the food before climbing onto the seats to look at the beautiful night scene outside. She was so happy that she exclaimed gleefully.“Ally, no matter how things go, I swear I will never let you or Isabella feel sad again,” Isaac said, lifting his glass for a toast.Allegra looked at Isaac with tears in her eyes. She asked softly, “Is this what he asked you to tell me?”Seeing Isaac nod affirmati
Allegra was sobbing. She held her daughter’s hand tightly and kept nodding her head.“That’s me, and that’s you, Mommy. Is the other one Daddy? Oh, it’s Mister!” Isabella exclaimed loudly, turning to look at Isaac.Emily was completely at a loss for words. She was standing amongst the crowd. The fireworks and drone displays weren’t something just any rich person could do because they also involved security and technical clearance from the relevant authorities. Just how big and powerful was Isaac now?Serena’s face was completely wet from tears. She’d long finished her milkshake, and her straw was gnawed into pieces.Beefy Bob’s eyes were also red-rimmed. He spoke to the other person on his phone and said, “You fucking flirt, you certainly know what you’re doing. I’m crying now because of you.”Many reporters heard of the showy display and rushed over to the venue. Most of them had managed to capture the show on their high-resolution cameras.It was a splendidly beautiful night for ever
Hearing Beefy Bob’s challenge, Mr. Bleu laughed coldly. “Just a mongrel who’s all bark yet no bite, I see. You need to be taught a lesson. Kill him.”The bodyguards all rushed forward with deafening roars as they lunged at Beefy Bob. Some of them even took out their daggers and aimed them at him. The daggers glinted dangerously in the light.Most of the spectators were shocked and hurriedly moved backward.The bodyguards from the Kenne household were very trained in combat. After all, the Kennes got to where they were today by fighting their way to the top, quite literally.However, these bodyguards were nothing but flies in Beefy Bob’s eyes. They were no match for him at all. Beefy Bob effortlessly gained the upper hand.A lot of screaming and shouting later, all of the bodyguards were now squealing on the ground like pigs about to be slaughtered. Their right kneecaps were shattered beyond their means, and they would never be able to stand again.“Diffusing Fist!” Mr. Bleu’s eyes were
“Fuck! Mr. Bleu!” Wilson cried out in horror as he rushed over.Mr. Bleu’s face was covered in blood, and his face was a deathly pale color. When he saw Wilson rushing over, he frowned and said, “No, go away. Don’t bother about me and leave!”“Do you think he can still leave now?” A dark shadow appeared over the crouching Wilson.Wilson lifted his head and saw that Beefy Bob was laughing at him.“You fucker!” Wilson screamed in anger, clenching his fist and aiming it at Beefy Bob’s face.Beefy Bob easily caught Wilson’s hand and gave it a little twist before raising it high above his head. Wilson’s face immediately scrunched up in pain.He then grabbed Wilson by the neck and glanced at the pavilion. Isaac hadn’t said anything.“Get on your knees,” Beefy Bob ordered, kicking the back of Wilson’s knee.Wilson immediately dropped to his knees by the wooden bridge. He saw that Mr. Bleu had already fainted. Wilson gritted his teeth when he saw so many pairs of eyes trained on him. He wanted
