The grudge between Isaac and the Crowe family was not a secret among those who worked in Crowe Pharmaceuticals and Beacon Clinic. However, they never expected this young doctor, whom Mr. Crowe approved of, to be working for Isaac.Kenny was not the only one in shock; Emily was surprised too. However, she doubted that this shabby clinic could defeat Beacon Clinic, which had been operating for decades.Not only was Mr. Crowe a renowned doctor and highly influential in the medical line, but his son’s company, Crowe Pharmaceuticals, was one of the top three companies across Southland in this field. It was too absurd of an idea to try to wipe them out!“Heh, I see. I’ll take my leave then. You should figure your way out of this situation for now, though. Haha!” Kenny turned to leave. After a few steps, he paused and mocked, “Let me remind you. The person in charge of confiscating your clinic earlier was Knox Graham, Head of the Inspection Division. I’m going to get a drink with him now a
A few security guards lifted Knox on a stretcher to the entrance of Springview Clinic, but the front entrance was sealed and locked. Kenny went to the back entrance to find the door locked as well.Knox almost tore the sheets into pieces as he shrieked at the top of his lungs.“Open the door! Help us!” Kenny smacked the door.“Our teacher asks you to wait; he’s in the washroom.”For the love of God…Half an hour went by. Kenny could see the whites of Knox’s eyes and froth flowing from his mouth. He stomped his feet frantically and yelled, “Did you freaking get stuck in the toilet bowl? You’ve been in there for half an hour!”“Our teacher asks if you can unlock the door. He’s stuck inside.” The trainee laughed out loud—Harry was actually playing games on his phone with his legs crossed in the washroom.“K—Keys. I have the keys.” Knox was half-conscious as he pulled out two keys from his pocket.After unlocking the door, Kenny and the security guards dashed into the clinic, carry
It was Allegra’s first time hearing of acquiring five hundred acres of commercial land. She was in a dilemma as she watched her excited employees; there would be tough competition for a land of this size.Garth Properties was only in operation for less than a week. Could they acquire the land?One of her employees saw her expression and asked, “Ms. Booth, when we first joined the company, Mr. Garten promised us that we’d be part of the biggest project in Cloud City. You won’t give up, will you?”Another employee felt deceived. He promptly made his stand clear, “If you give up now, then there’s no point in us working here.” Allegra cursed Isaac silently. She drew a deep breath before looking up and said, “I’ll never give up. We’ll definitely walk the talk. Let’s start preparing the necessary documents and proposals; we’ll give it a try, no matter how.”Everyone pulled themselves together after hearing what Allegra said and started committing themselves to the project.Later in th
Emily instantly shut the door, but Dexter clutched the door firmly.Another man behind him kicked the door open with a bang.“Bitch! How dare you keep me out!” Dexter barged in furiously. His right arm was in a bandage.Three thugs came in after him.Dexter swiftly checked every corner of the house to ensure it was empty. Then, he walked up to Emily and slapped her hard, scolding, “Bitch! How dare you tell your lover to hit me! I’ll let you know that I take my revenge seriously!”Emily held her cheek, reddened and swollen after taking the slap. She was frightened. “Dexter, wh—what do you want?”Dexter lunged at her and grabbed her hair, staring at her as he smirked. “What do I want? I want my house back. You refused to let me have you and allowed someone else beat me up; now you and your mother will have to live like beggars.”“What are you doing? Dexter Fisher! How can you hit her?” Mrs. Danson roared as she shuffled out of her room, holding onto a walking stick.When she saw
They arrived at Springview Clinic. When the rain eased off, Isaac swiftly carried Mrs. Danson into the clinic while Emily followed at her own pace.Soon, Harry came out of the treatment room and told Emily, who was anxiously waiting, “Your mother had a great shock, that’s all. She should be recovering soon. I’m getting her some chamomile tea to help her relax; it should take only a short while.”Emily heaved a sigh of relief when she heard what Harry said and fell back in her chair.Emily felt significantly better after taking a rest. Isaac approached her and asked, “Was it your ex-husband’s doings again? Did he throw out all your belongings too?”Emily’s eyes reddened as she lowered her head and told him what had happened.“After my mom fell sick, we talked about our divorce; his parents offered us that house as our place of stay. I never thought he would be so cruel as to hurt my mom.” Emily wiped her tears and said, “Isaac, thank you.”“Harry has two empty rooms here; you can
On the other end of the line, Beefy Bob immediately understood him. “It’s my fault, Isaac. I thought he would not…”Isaac pondered briefly before saying, “I know you have a lot on your hands. I’ll call Lupinus and get him to send over a team of Assassin Squad—be ready to take over. You can work in alliance with Old Brooks, but you should be directly in charge of the squad.”Beefy Bob laughed. “Assassin Squad? Lupinus would surely be reluctant to utilize them. But if you give the orders, he’ll definitely not make a fuss about it.”“Right. Remember to settle the matter by tonight. And also, stop by Springview Clinic tomorrow morning; there’s something I need you for…”Early the next morning, Emily got wind of Dexter’s death. Apparently, he drank too much liquor in the middle of the night, fell into a drain, and drowned to his death.She held her phone as she tried to keep calm. At that moment, all she could think about was Isaac making a call in his car last night.Beefy Bob arrive
Edward’s analysis of the situation was accurate. Garth Properties had an authorized share capital of a mere ten million dollars, and now the amount of money Allegra owned would be less than that. It was impossible to win the bid for Pegasus No. 1 with that meager amount of money.Besides, to participate in the bid, one had to write up an initial proposal for the development project, witnessed by a partner.On the same night, two messages began to circulate Cloud City and Aurum County.One of the messages circulated within Cloud City said that whoever collaborated with Garth Properties would go up against the Murray family.The other message originated from the Kenne family, saying that whoever assisted Garth Properties would face harsh consequences.Nevertheless, Allegra did not know any of these. She prepared the procurement document and the business proposal. All she had to do now was to gather funds and look for a partner.At 8 pm, Allegra drove to a café where she arranged a
Edward turned to look at Allegra, smiling coldly. “Why don’t you look in the mirror? Just who do you think you are?”“Allegra, it seems like you’re still unaware. Uncle has said the word, and now, no companies want to work with you. Hence, you should just close your doors while you still can,” said Andrew, his expression mocking.“It was you?” Allegra glared at Edward, her eyes ablaze with fury.Edward didn’t pay Allegra any more attention. Instead, he stood up to look at the dozens of staff before him and loudly said, “Everyone, let me introduce myself. I am the head of Gould Properties, Edward Gould. I heard you are all the cream of the crop in this industry, so I would like to invite you to join our company. This is because no other company will work with you anymore, and Garth Properties is about to shut its doors. Allegra, I’ve told you before—you’re not fit for business. See, it’s been proven.”Seeing Edward’s unbelievably smug look, Allegra was so mad that her eyes began to
