Allegra’s body began to fall toward the ground, but Isaac caught her. A look of panic flashed through his eyes, but he quickly calmed himself down.“You won’t die as long as I’m here.” His eyes were unbelievably gentle as he held Allegra.He turned to look at William, his expression frigid. “If anything happens to Ally, I will make you wish you were dead.”“Hah, even now, you dare to speak so arrogantly?” William burst out laughing instead. With a ferocious look, he smiled and said, “I have another glass of poisoned wine. If you don’t want your woman to die, drink it, and I’ll give you the antidote. However, there’s only one antidote!”Another man handed him a new glass of wine. William simultaneously took out a brown pill from his pocket, waving it in front of Isaac.From William’s point of view, Isaac only had two options now—watch his woman die or drink the poisoned wine. Everything was now in his control!Everyone’s gaze was transfixed on Isaac’s face. In front of him was ano
After Allegra took the antidote, her furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her tightly shut eyes slowly opened.Seeing her teary eyes, Isaac felt a knife in his heart. He said softly, “Silly woman, never do that again.”The classmates watched as Isaac kneeled on the floor. Under Mandy’s instructions, the two men quickly came out from under the table and carried William into their arms.This man in front of them was indeed too scary. They all only had one thought—to get out.But just as they bolted toward the door, a burly figure suddenly appeared.Beefy Bob stood at the door, glaring at them. He shouted, “Get back in there!”The two men screamed in fright. They immediately dumped William onto the floor, turned around, and ran back to the table.Beefy Bob walked over to Isaac. He was aghast when he saw the blood at the corners of Allegra’s mouth. “Isaac, what happened?” Isaac pointed his finger at the people around the table and said coldly, “Take photos of them. Make sure thei
“Isaac, how could you inflict such injury on my nephew?” Allen pointed a finger at Isaac, his face dark with rage.“You should’ve listened to my words.” Isaac lit a cigarette and puffed on it as he looked at Allen.Craig was standing with one hand behind his back. He looked away from Isaac and asked Allen, “Mr. Merck, is this the man you’ve been telling me about? The one who caused your son’s death?”“It is,” said Allen through gritted teeth.Craig chuckled. “He’s arrogant indeed. I wonder if his abilities are as great as his ego.”Simon tugged at Craig’s shirt and begged, “Mr. Hughes, please save my son. You’ll have the Merck family's utmost gratitude if you get rid of that bastard.”Craig smiled as he turned to look at Allen.“Your help will be greatly appreciated, Mr. Hughes,” said Allen humbly.“Alright. Since you’ve spoken, I see no reason to decline.” With a huge leap, Craig landed in front of Isaac.Allen and Simon heaved a sigh of relief when Craig made his move. Besid
On seeing Craig’s move, Mr. Sutton, who was standing behind Allen, gave an icy look as he bellowed and rushed toward Isaac.Craig and Mr. Sutton swung their fists one after the other at Isaac. Their auras were menacing and threatening.Craig’s punch loomed. Just before the punch landed on him, Isaac swung out his leg and hit Craig in his abdomen.Craig was moving too fast to react on time. His punch stopped abruptly less than an inch from Isaac’s face.All Craig could feel was the cruciating pain in his abdomen. His eyes widened as his body flew backward. The pain was unbearable. Mr. Sutton, just a step behind, felt the power in Isaac’s kick and stopped subconsciously. He did not dare to take another step forward.“Argh!”A loud thump followed Craig’s shriek as his body flew like a ragdoll and bumped heavily against the glass door.With a loud crash, the glass door broke into pieces. Craig vomited blood and fainted.Mr. Sutton stood awkwardly a few feet away. He never thought
Isaac thought there was no need to pay heed to Margaret and Andrew, but Allegra could not just leave them be. She left the hotel even though she was exhausted.At the gates of Riverview Villa No. 5, Andrew and Margaret held some gifts in their hands. They looked at the emerging black Land Rover.Andrew squinted and said enviously, “That little bitch really sucked up to that punk, huh?”“Hold your tongue. We’re here to ask for forgiveness, so you’d better behave nicely. When this ungrateful girl enters our company and comes to your grandfather’s birthday celebration, we can go hard with her,” scolded Margaret. As the Land Rover approached, Margaret put on a warm smile.It was not Margaret’s idea to come here today. Randall asked her to, saying he had other plans for Isaac.Allegra hated Margaret and Andrew for what they did. But now that everything had settled, her heart softened, as most children would.As soon as Allegra got down from the car, Margaret went up to her and held he
“Get lost!” Isaac merely glanced at him.The man was about to lose his temper when Cussler stopped him.“Alright, punk. I’ll pass on your message to Big Anthony. Let’s hope you remain this confident then.” Cussler smirked and left.Margaret and Andrew, who were eavesdropping, exchanged glances when they heard the commotion.“Getting on Big Anthony’s wrong side will cost him his life,” Margaret snorted and left quickly. She had to tell Edward.“Are you crazy?” Allegra exclaimed after Cussler left. “Big Anthony is the strongest mafia in Cloud City; even the noble families pay him respect. Why would you go against him?”Isaac smiled bitterly. “Would it change anything if I were to accept his invitation?”His reply rendered Allegra speechless.“Anyway, Big Anthony won’t pick a fight with us.” Isaac lit a cigarette and puffed on it.“How’s that so?” Allegra did not understand.Isaac laughed. “Why would the strongest mafia in Cloud City come after a nobody like me?”Allegra looked
With Sean’s promise, the Merck family’s confidence expanded like a balloon. It was as if they could already see Isaac’s agony.At night, Allegra received a call from Serena just as she reached home. Serena needed Isaac’s help at Scott’s Bar. Isaac was watching the news when Beefy Bob came in. He stood behind Isaac and stole several glimpses at him. He looked like he had something to say.“What is it?” asked Isaac suddenly. As if he had eyes at the back of his head.Beefy Bob gave his broadest smile. “Isaac, remember the friend I once mentioned? He really wants to meet you. If it’s okay with you, I’ll call him over.”“Bobby, do I need to repeat myself?” said Isaac, looking at Beefy Bob.Beefy Bob shuddered at the mention of his real name. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.“It’s… it’s not what you think, Isaac. I just thought that with his achievements at the provincial capital, my friend could be of help to Allegra’s career.” Beefy Bob wiped off his sweat and bowed subconsci
Roger pointed at Allegra and asked, “Serena, why didn’t you tell me you have such a beautiful cousin?”“Serena, go with Allegra.” Isaac gestured at Serena to leave first.Serena was about to get up. Roger waved, and his bodyguards blocked her way.“Nobody can leave without my permission.” Roger was cocky.“Are you looking for a fight?” Isaac said coldly.Roger laughed. Then, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he scolded Isaac, “My father owns Kane Enterprise in the provincial capital. I’ll only say this once. Leave now when you have the chance!” He smirked and pointed at Allegra. “Leave this woman behind. I want them both.”This fellow was more conceited than Gregory. His actions were befitting of a blue blood from the provincial capital.Serena never expected Roger to lose his temper. She thought she could get away with ease.On the other hand, Allegra was stunned when she found out Roger’s father was the owner of Kane Enterprise.“The Kanes? The Kane family is more powerful
