Isaac and Allegra were snugly asleep in each other's arms. They had a passionate night that lasted very long before they finally fell asleep.Isaac never knew Allegra's assertiveness would cause him to lose all reason.They woke up when Holly knocked on the door. They heard her saying Margaret and Andrew were here and were both stunned.The temperature at night was only approximately 45°F. Allegra pulled on a coat and went downstairs with Isaac. They were halfway down when they saw Andrew kneeling in the living room and Margaret sobbing on the couch."Mom, what happened? Why are you kneeling, Andrew?" Allegra's eyes widened. She briskly walked forward.She saw the traces of blood on their faces and their unkempt state, looking totally disheveled. They must've suffered a beating.Isaac stood aside, smoking, and said nothing.After Margaret told them what happened in between sobs, Allegra couldn't help but inhale sharply."Daisy is outrageous! How could she have done that?" Alleg
An hour later, a group of men in black clothes brought Bert and Daisy into the living room. They both looked scared. Shawn walked in after them in a trench coat and went to Isaac.Those two were undeniably passionate; they were still at it when Shawn and his men barged into the room.Bert shouted at them arrogantly but soon peed himself when he realized the man capturing him was the underground lord, Shawn Xeno.He only realized the reason behind his capture when he entered the living room and saw the people inside."Mr. Garten, I ran a background check on him. His family runs a business on building materials and owns several shops in the industry. Their net assets are worth seven to eight million dollars. However, his father earned those bucks—this guy had nothing to do with the businesses. Should I take down his family?"Bert dropped to his knees when he heard Shawn. He sobbed and begged, "Mr. Xeno, please forgive me. I'm sorry! It's all my fault. Please let me go.""Shut your
In the following days, Andrew went to work with his crutches. Allegra told Isaac that Andrew ignored those who jeered at him. He phoned his clients nonstop and attended appointments diligently. He kept his mouth shut about his relationship with the president and director of the company.Margaret returned to Cloud Nine Villas and never bullied Holly ever since. Instead, she would help Holly with the housework.The days were starting to be as tranquil as Isaac desired.The development of the first phase of Cloud City's new township was coming to a crucial stage. Allegra was constantly busy with work, while Isaac would meditate in the backyard whenever he was free. He knew the conflict between him and Everest Sect wouldn't end just like that.Winter was coming. It started snowing heavily in the middle of the Everest Mountains. A silver blanket enshrouded the earth.Evie was in her room in Everest Sect, reading an ancient manuscript she borrowed from the library. It recorded reflectio
Earl was stunned. Scorn filled his eyes.He took two steps closer to Evie, but Evie stepped backward. He lowered his voice and said, "Isaac is dead. Stop thinking about him."Evie's eyes widened, and she stared at Earl.Her horrified expression pleased him. He laughed and said in a low voice, "Your father and my teacher's trusted subordinate, Garett, killed him with their own hands under my teacher's orders. Think about it. Could Isaac have survived if these two men had joined hands? Garett himself told me about how Isaac was severely injured and healing himself in a therapeutic bath. Garett and your father broke his neck. Oh, right. They killed him in his subordinate's clinic."Evie looked mortified. She didn't know how to react. She backed up and shook her head. "No, that's impossible. That's a lie…"Memories of her and Isaac flitted across her mind. She wept silently and dashed out of the room."Evie, that's your fate, and you should accept it," Earl's complacent yell came fro
Evie walked up the steps in a trance and entered the living room. At that moment, Isaac descended the stairs with a down jacket in his hand.He halted, and his eyes widened when he saw Evie sobbing at the entrance."Evie?"Meanwhile, Evie froze when she saw him.She was stunned. Then, she started laughing while she muttered, "Isaac, you're alive? Isaac…"The grief in her vanished. Evie laughed through her tears as she ran toward Isaac, ignoring the fact that she was totally wet because of the rain.She held Isaac in a tight embrace. She couldn't contain her yearning for him and kissed him uncontrollably. She yearned for him passionately for days on end and couldn't stop her tears even when they were kissing.Thud!Holly stood outside the door. Her broom dropped to the floor when she saw this scene, her mouth agape. "Mr. Garten is incredible."He had such a beautiful and capable wife at home and another equally gorgeous mistress outside.Isaac could barely breathe. He gently p
Half an hour later, Elder Giverny, still dressed in his dark purple robe, roared at Earl as he kneeled on the ground, "What do you mean Isaac is still alive? How did you know that?""Sir, you know that I've always been in love with Evie. I heard from my men that Evie might be leaving the sect, so I asked them to keep an eye on her. Who would have thought that she left by herself sometime after midnight? I was worried for her safety, so I told them to follow her and keep her safe. However, Evie went straight to Cloud City and even went on a date with Isaac!"In anger, Elder Giverny slapped his palm against the table, slicing the furniture in half. He emitted a murderous aura that filled the entire room."Tell Garett and Thaddaeus to get their asses here, now!" The attendants outside shook in fright and ran off to find the two people.A while later, Garett and Thaddaeus arrived. Garatte had a sleepy look on his face, while Thaddaeus looked rather worried. When he saw Earl kneeling on th
Night approached. Evie was worried she would get her father in trouble and wanted to leave, but Isaac held her back.After chatting with her, he finally knew why Earl would come looking for him. It was all because of Evie."If you go back now, aren't you just surrendering yourself to the army camp?" Isaac asked Evie in a low voice.Evie bit her lips and said nothing. She was worried about her father but also feared that she wouldn't be able to find Isaac again if she left him this time. Moreover, she really didn't want to see Earl's face again."But I can't stay here. Your wife…" Evie brought up the one thing that was holding her back the most.Isaac frowned. However, his expression returned to normal very quickly after that. He smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I can explain everything to Ally. Why don't you stay for the night?"Seeing that Isaac really wanted her to stay, Evie didn't want to refuse anymore. More importantly, she didn't dare to leave either.Isaac said he was going
"Let's go in and have dinner," Isaac said softly."We're not waiting for her?" Evie asked, looking back outside.Seeing that Isaac went inside without answering her, Evie frowned for a moment and got the message. She then followed him in.On the other side of town, Allegra drove around aimlessly in her car as fresh tears kept falling out of her eyes. She then parked by the roadside and started bawling her eyes out.After sobbing for a while, she took out her phone and called Emily."Emily, want to have a drink with me?"Emily was stunned when she heard Allegra's gloomy voice. She agreed at once.She found herself seated opposite Allegra at a random bar. There were plenty of empty beer bottles on the table.Allegra was a little surprised herself. How was it that with every bottle of beer, she only felt more and more sober?"Emily, tell me, don't you think Isaac is such a bastard? How could he bring home his side chick without any warning? How could he call her his life savior?" Allegra'
