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'
Allegra looked at her right hand in shock. She'd just wanted to push the man away, but she didn't think her punch would be that powerful.The other two "drunkards" sobered up immediately. They ran over to the blond guy and confirmed that he was dead.Murderous glints immediately appeared in their eyes. Under the influence of alcohol, they discussed for a bit and then pulled out a knife from under their clothes. They brandished the knives at Allegra and yelled, "Bitch, how dare you kill our brother? If you don't want us to call the police, then you'd better fucking come with us!"They'd planned to have their way with Allegra and Emily before tying them up and demanding ransom from their families. After all, they were just too pretty, and this was what they did as a living anyway.The street lights bounced off the blades of the knives. Emily looked at the shiny blades and shivered in fright.When the men started approaching them, Emily cried, "Ally, run! Hurry!"Allegra had already been
"I'm not going back home. I'll spend the night at Emily's," Allegra said, turning to leave. Isaac tried to hold her back, but she flung his hand away.She wasn't actually mad at him anymore, but she didn't want to give in that easily.Isaac went back into his car and watched as Allegra walked away.It was close to midnight when he got back home. Evie was still waiting for him on the top steps. When she saw that Isaac came home alone, she let out a helpless chuckle.The snow was still falling quite rapidly. Evie walked over to Isaac and asked, "Does Allegra not even want to see me?""She's drunk. She's spending the night at her friend's house," Isaac answered her with a white lie.Beefy Bob looked a bit awkward as he stood to the side. He knew what actually happened, but this was not the time for him to run his big mouth.Just as Isaac was about to enter the house, he suddenly turned around and looked outside the villa. He immediately saw three dark shadows hurrying out of the darkness
