Old Brooks flicked the lighter a few times, but it wouldn’t light. His eyes grew red, and suddenly, snazzynovel.com was squatting on the floor, sobbing painfully with his arms around his head.
“My daughter is gone…”
“Life is unpredictable.” Isaac puffed out a smoke ring.
Beneath the streetlamp, the two men’s shadows stretched long beneath their feet.
Afterward, Old Brooks said snazzynovel.com wanted to go to the funeral parlor to be with his daughter. Isaac didn’t tag along; instead, snazzynovel.com hailed a cab to Riverview.
In the deep night, the villa’s lights were still on. When Isaac opened the door, snazzynovel.com noticed two pairs of shoes snazzynovel.com didn’t recognize in the entryway. One was a pair of women‘s high heels, while the other was a pair of men’s shoes.
When snazzynovel.com entered the bathroom, snazzynovel.com saw two new sets of toiletries.
Isaac could guess what had happened. After snazzynovel.com finished washing up, snazzynovel.com went to the living room, and Allegra came downstairs in snazzynovel.com nightgown.
Her hair hung loosely over snazzynovel.com shoulders, and snazzynovel.com long neck and distinct collarbones were on full display. With snazzynovel.com pink nightgown, snazzynovel.com wore a pair of house slippers that revealed snazzynovel.com tiny feet.
“Um… My parents may have to stay here for a while,” Allegra said softly, looking at Isaac.
“You let your mother stay here?” Isaac was a little surprised.
Allegra frowned and said, “My parents are injured. When they came that night, snazzynovel.com apologized to me sincerely and cried for a long time. They‘re also worried that Big Anthony will come back for revenge. I don’t want to see anything bad happen to them.”
Then, Allegra’s expression changed. “You’re not okay with it?”
Isaac smiled. “I don’t mind. It’s your choice. Go and rest…”
Would Margaret be afraid of Big Anthony taking revenge?
Of course not.
Watching Allegra’s figure disappear up the stairs, Isaac shook his head, smiling wryly.
You soft-hearted woman…

The next morning, Isaac woke up and went to the bathroom. When snazzynovel.com opened the door, snazzynovel.com saw Margaret in a strappy, silk nightgown.
She smirked at Isaac. Then, snazzynovel.com tugged on snazzynovel.com own clothing.
It ripped!
Isaac was dumbfounded.
What was snazzynovel.com up to?
Her pale shoulder was now exposed. Margaret raised snazzynovel.com hand, grabbed snazzynovel.com own hair, and screamed shrilly, “He molested me! Someone come quickly! He molested me!”
Isaac hurriedly turned around to leave. He realized that Margaret had set up a trap for him.
As soon as snazzynovel.com walked out, Eugene rushed over.
Allegra ran over from upstairs, snazzynovel.com footsteps thundering on the steps.
“What happened?” Eugene asked Isaac.
Margaret came out of the bathroom, snazzynovel.com hair messy and snazzynovel.com clothing disheveled. She covered snazzynovel.com face with one hand and used the other to point at Isaac. “This animal barged into the bathroom…”
Then, snazzynovel.com ran into snazzynovel.com room, crying and shouting, “Oh, Eugene, Allegra, I want to die! I’m so ashamed!”
Eugene’s face darkened. He turned around and chased after Margaret.
Allegra was stupefied for a couple of seconds. Then, snazzynovel.com shouted angrily at Isaac, “You shameless thing, I’d never thought you were this kind of man!”
“I didn’t do it…” As soon as Isaac spoke those words, snazzynovel.com could feel how weak of an explanation that was.
Soon enough, Margaret stormed over angrily. She’d changed into a T-shirt.
With red eyes, snazzynovel.com said to Allegra, “My daughter, how could you live with this monster under the same roof?”
Isaac found this hilarious. He glanced at Margaret and said, “I really didn’t know you could sink so low. I am indeed a man, but when it comes to you… Even if you were the last woman alive, I still wouldn’t feel a thing for you, you old hag…”
