"What did you just say? Ally fired Isaac? This is a shocker. Are you sure, Mom?""Of course! Hurry up and go to sleep. Come get me first thing in the morning," Margaret said hurriedly.In the living room, Isaac stared at the confused Harry and asked, "You've seen it for yourself. I don't think Allegra is purely "in a bad mood" or "emotional". It feels more like she's become a totally different person altogether."Harry scratched his head and said in confusion, "That's right. I've never seen Allegra like this before. But she doesn't want me anywhere near her. It looked like she wanted to eat me just now!""Well, then, think of something," Isaac said, taking out a cigarette and lighting it up.It didn't matter to Isaac whether or not he remained the vice president of the company. After all, the company was already starting to make large profits. He didn't have much to worry about anymore.What mattered more to him was Allegra. He didn't understand why she was acting so mean and ill-tempe
Harry didn't leave the mansion that night. Isaac immediately called Black Phoenix, telling her to give him a detailed report of where Allegra had been and who she'd talked to in the past few days.It was way past midnight when Isaac finally received an email in his inbox. He opened it up on his phone to see that it was a report of the places Allegra had gone, complete with a list of names of the people who'd come into contact with her as well. Black Phoenix had even circled a few unusual places on the list.The first one was a restaurant that specialized in wild game. Allegra had talked to a few of their servers there.The second unusual place was a nearby mall, where Allegra had talked to the cashier for a bit.The third and last place was the beauty salon across the street from the bar. Allegra had been there twice on different occasions."It's too late now. We'll go tomorrow morning to check these places out," Isaac said to Harry after reading the email.After Harry left, Isaac sat
The lady at the reception looked at the photo and nodded. She couldn't easily forget a beauty like Allegra."Who was the person who gave my wife the massage?" Isaac asked again.The receptionist smiled and said, "Both times Ms. Booth came over, our boss was the one who gave her the massage. Is there anything I can do for you?""Oh, really? Then, tell your boss to come here and meet us now," Harry said in a low voice.A while later, Mayflower arrived, wearing another black velvet dress as she sashayed over to the two men.Isaac and Harry looked at her. Their first thought was that this woman appeared very seductive. They couldn't describe how it made them feel, but it was slightly uncomfortable."Hello, I'm sorry, but we only accept female clients in this salon," Mayflower said with a wide smile.Whoosh!Isaac suddenly lunged for Mayflower's throat.Clank! He tightened his hand around Mayflower's neck and pushed her against the wall behind her. He said in a cold voice, "Were you the one
Hearing the familiar voice, Isaac chuckled and said, "Mr. Grannel, hello! What do you mean I've caused trouble for you?""You destroyed Astraeus, and now the consequences are all popping up like daisies! There have been reports of sects destroying each other every single day. Some of the more serious ones had more than 100 casualties in just the past three days!"Isaac frowned again. The sects had been destroying each other?After hanging up, Isaac found himself lost in deep thought.It was actually very simple. After the demise of Astraeus, more and more strong fighters from different sects started fighting each other for the title of "most powerful" person in the whole ancient martial arts world. After all, they had been under the governance of Astraeus for such a long time.And after Isaac's massacre, which killed all the headmasters and sect leaders, the smaller sects were becoming restless with no one to put them in their places. They were all fighting to be at the top.Mr. Granne
Holly felt antsy. She was worried that she'd caused Isaac and Allegra to have a falling out after the incident of her washing Allegra's slippers last night. However, she felt a little less guilty, seeing that Isaac didn't seem hostile toward her.She'd been a housekeeper for a few years, and she knew that rich people were some of the hardest people to work for.What Isaac didn't know was that after Andrew had taken over his position as vice president at the company, he'd insisted on having a family gathering at his place. Eugene hadn't wanted to go, but Margaret kept blowing up his phone until he agreed.It was getting dark. There was a wonderful aroma coming from the kitchen. After all, tonight was the first time her employer would be trying her homecooked food. Of course, Holly would go all out to impress him.A while later, Jeremiah and Phineas walked into the house.Seeing Isaac seated on the couch, they both exchanged glances before hurrying over to greet him. "Mr. Garten," they g
That night, Jeremiah and Phineas stayed the night in Cloud City. After leaving Cloud Nine Villa, they immediately contacted their most trusted subordinates and told them to come to Cloud City at once.They had to make sure they knew just how many ancient martial arts practitioners and sects there were in all nine continents. There were plenty of rules and regulations to draw up too, and this elephantine task was much more than the two of them could handle alone.After Holly left, Isaac went to the pavilion in his backyard and sat down with his legs crossed. He closed his eyes and slipped into a state of meditation, concentrating on the spiritual energy inside his body.Around 11 pm that night, Margaret and Eugene returned from their dinner.Isaac had just taken a bath when he saw that Allegra wasn't there. He looked at Eugene, who was obviously drunk, and asked, "Where's Ally? She didn't come back with you?""Oh, Ally said that she was aching all over, so she wanted to go to some beaut
"My job scope only includes doing the laundry, cooking, and keeping the house in an orderly manner. I'm not supposed to do anything else," Holly said in a very soft voice. She was actually still very afraid of Margaret.Margaret gritted her teeth in anger and yelled, "I'm his fucking mother-in-law, and I'm telling you this instant to give me a fucking foot massage! Is that too much to ask for from a fucking lowly person like you? It's not like you're going to die if you do it. Stupid bitch, if I tell you to kiss my feet, you'd better fucking get on your knees and worship them, or else you can get the fuck out of the house!"When she felt the anger coming from Margaret, Holly felt even more terrified. She'd accidentally offended Allegra last time, and she didn't want to offend her mother this time. So she gritted her teeth and got down on her knees."If you want to stay in this house, you'd better be an obedient little bitch, understand? I'm Isaac's mother-in-law. You need to remember t
Emily knew that there was no use fighting Andrew in such a small area, especially with that snarl on his face. She would be on the losing end anyway, so she bit her lips and held back the tears in her eyes as she said, "O—okay, I'll do whatever you want.""That's more like it." Seeing the look of defeat on Emily's face made Andrew puff up and feel victorious. He reached out to pinch Emily's cheek before sitting up straight."After we're done at the site, you're coming with me to have dinner with one of our potential business partners," Andrew suddenly said, looking at Emily.Emily could only nod in agreement.After reaching the site, the managers at the site heard that the new vice president would be coming in to monitor them today and that this vice president was also Ms. Booth's own younger brother. They all fell over their feet trying to curry favor with their new boss.Andrew kept his hands behind his back, laughing and making conversation everywhere he went, showing all the making
