Snap!Wilson felt his entire body convulsing in pain at the sound of a clean snap. He screamed so much that his voice eventually gave out.Horace was seething with fury. Today was the worst kind of humiliation he’d suffered in the past 10 or 20 years.“Have fun spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair. I don’t ever want to see you again,” Isaac said as he bent down to meet Wilson’s eyes. Then, he said lightly, “Let’s go.”Beefy Bob laughed and went up to Isaac. Then, they both headed out.“Kill them!” Horace suddenly cried.All one thousand soldiers immediately sped toward Isaac and Beefy Bob, aiming for their kill.The ground shook as the soldiers’ cries thundered across the place. It felt like it was the end of the world.Isaac suddenly turned around and grabbed hold of Horace.“If anyone makes a single move toward me, I will personally send both father and son to meet their maker,” Isaac roared. The soldiers in the closest proximity to Isaac and Beefy Bob were only five feet a
Serena was smart. After bringing Allegra and Isabella away, they immediately left the restaurant. She knew of Isaac’s capabilities, so she wasn’t exactly worried about him.However, as soon as they arrived at Riverview, they saw Eugene lying in front of the sofa, coughing out blood.That gave the two cousins a huge shock. They quickly brought him to the hospital, and Allegra tried calling Isaac on their way there.She’d long since sobered up from the alcohol she had earlier. She was worried about Isaac, yet she also wanted to notify him about her father.As soon as Isaac learned about Eugene, he immediately hurried over to the hospital.At the hospital, Serena was chatting softly with Isabella in front of the operation doors while Allegra kept pacing.Isaac recalled that Eugene hadn’t looked well a few days ago. Hearing that he was wheeled into the operating room as soon as he arrived, Isaac suddenly had a bad feeling about this.More than an hour later, the doctor came out from the op
It was tense in the ICU ward. Margaret and Andrew sat emotionlessly by the side.Only Allegra’s eyes were completely red.She had informed them about Eugene’s condition. However, they seemed only shocked for a brief moment before going into complete silence as if they were thinking about something.Just then, someone started to cough. It was Eugene, who was starting to stir. He looked paler than he did a few days ago.“Dad, do you feel like eating something?” Allegra immediately asked as she got up.Eugene lifted his eyes with much difficulty and saw that Isaac was only standing at the door without coming in. He then looked at Allegra for a few seconds before laughing bitterly.“I know I’m going to die soon.”“No, Dad, it’s just gastric ulcer. You’ll be fine after staying in the hospital for a while,” Allegra quickly comforted him.Eugene stayed quiet for a bit and closed his eyes.After he fell asleep, Allegra left the room with Andrew and Margaret.When Margaret heard that Allegra wa
Less than an hour later, Andy dragged his wife, Daisy, into the hospital room. The couple came bearing a couple of bags of fruits, smiling so brightly that their eyes turned to slits.“Dad, I heard you got sick, so I came especially to visit you,” Daisy said, standing in front of the hospital bed.“Allegra, can’t you see that your brother and his wife are here? Get us some water!” Andrew immediately barked out orders at Allegra, who looked exhausted.Isaac was about to say something, but Allegra gave him a glare and stopped him. She got up, grabbed the water bottle, and exited the room.Outside, Allegra said to Isaac, “You should go home. There’s nothing much going on here.”“Andrew and his wife were being too much…”“It doesn’t matter as long as they come to visit Dad. Don’t get involved, okay?” Allegra’s expression soured.Getting water for them is a small matter. All she wanted was for her father to be comforted.“Okay.” Isaac nodded helplessly. Then, he turned and left.An
“Dad…” Allegra’s eyes widened. Tears streamed down her face as she met her father’s gaze.On the other hand, Margaret jumped three feet in the air in anger. “You’re going to leave everything to Allegra? I don’t agree with this. It is our marital property—you have no right to allocate it as you wish.”“I already said before that my father left it to me. He transferred the ownership to me before we got married, so you don’t have the right to disagree.” Eugene smiled coldly.Margaret’s face was stormy, and she roared angrily, “Even if it is your inheritance, you can’t give everything to Allegra. She’s such a selfish person, so why would you give it to her?”“That’s right, Dad. After all, she’s been married off to another man. In the end, it’ll be Andrew who will be the one to bury you.” Daisy glowered at Allegra fiercely. She was dissatisfied with this outcome.Andrew added furiously, “Dad, how could you be so biased? I am your son, and Allegra is your daughter. No matter how you put
The lobby was spacious and bright, and the environment was refined and comfortable, but the stark difference between this hospital and the others was how few people were here. There were even nurses standing at the door to greet the visitors.It felt more like a luxury hotel instead of a packed hospital.The registration fee alone was five digits, but Allegra didn’t even blink at the figure. The nurse who escorted them noticed this and politely brought them immediately to the attending doctor’s consultation room on the third floor.The gastroenterologist was an old man with salt and pepper hair wearing a white coat. After looking through Eugene’s medical report, he ordered a few more tests, the cost of which were equally exorbitant.The attending doctor stood and said, “Ms. Booth, if you’ll allow me to treat your father’s illness with the utmost care, there is a possibility that he’ll recover. However, owing to the severity of the illness, the cost will also be high. You and your h
“T—Then what should we do now? Dr. Oakley, I don’t care about the cost, even if I go bankrupt. Please, I’m begging you.” Allegra burst into anxious tears.Dr. Oakley let out a sigh. Seeing how filial this woman in front of him was, he said quietly, “Why don’t you seek out our hospital president? He might have a way. His office is on the 12th floor of the administrative wing.”Allegra immediately turned around and rushed to the administrative wing.A while later, Isaac and Allegra arrived at the president’s office in the administrative wing together. They pushed open the door to find a young woman inside.“Are you here for Mr. Crowe Jr.?” said the young woman in a cold voice, her expression mocking.Allegra nodded profusely. “Mr. Crowe Jr. is not in Cloud City right now, so he can only talk to you via video call. Is that okay for you?”Video call? Mr. Crowe Jr.?Doubts arose in Isaac’s mind.They stood in front of a large electronic screen. The woman opened a link, and Oliver’
A black luxury car sped down the highway. In the back seat, Oliver’s face was stormy. He didn’t think that Isaac would really smash the screen in his office. That punk was too arrogant.“Mr. Crowe Jr., I heard from security that the Garten punk is looking for you. Will there be trouble?” said his assistant, turning his head in the passenger’s seat.“Do you think he’s a god? My car is on the move, so unless he controls the satellites in the sky…That asshole, how dare he smash my computer…His father-in-law will die now.” Oliver picked up his phone as he spoke, about to give Dr. Oakley his new “order.”At that moment, there was a loud noise.Oliver’s head hit the roof of the car, and he was sent sprawling upside down.After Oliver straightened himself, he roared at the driver, “Do you have a death wish? Is this how you drive?”When he saw that his car had collided with a Land Cruiser, fury boiled within him. He roared at the driver again, “Go ask that idiot how he got his driver’s l
