Horace was beyond grateful after hearing what the two Cherubs had to say.
He said to them, “Thank you, thank you so much! However, that bastard Isaac is quite powerful too, and he’s got two more powerful assistants…”
Luke then interrupted Horace with a laugh, saying, “Mr. Kenne, you’re thinking too much. There isn’t a case that Astraeus can’t handle once they get involved.”
The two Cherubs nodded softly and looked proud of themselves. It was clear that what Luke said had some truth to it.
Seeing this, a trace of iciness flashed in Horace’s eyes. He muttered to himself, saying, “You’re so f*cking done, Isaac Garten. You better count your remaining days!”

That night, Allegra still hadn’t returned home. Eugene made a few dishes for dinner before calling snazzynovel.com number.
After hanging up, Isaac looked up from the couch and asked, “What did snazzynovel.com say?”
“She said she’s not coming home for dinner. Bad mood…” Eugene answered, looking helplessly at Isaac.
The both of them stared at each other for a long while. Eugene then poured Isaac some whiskey and started to eat. It was rare for them both to be eating alone in the house.
Margaret barely came over anymore. After what happened in the past, snazzynovel.com stayed clear of Eugene, especially ever since Edward and Andrew were hospitalized.
“Isaac, you know… I think it’s hard for you to keep your act up like this. Why don’t you just come clean to Ally? Just tell snazzynovel.com that you’re snazzynovel.com husband,” Eugene said, feeling a lot bolder after a few shots of whiskey.
Isaac glanced at Eugene briefly and looked back down with a bitter smile. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell her… You know Allegra is the one who isn’t able to accept the news. After all, snazzynovel.com went through too many hardships during the seven years I was gone. I don’t want to trigger snazzynovel.com again. It’s not had, what we have now. At least she’s still letting me stay by snazzynovel.com side.”
Eugene let out a long sigh and said, “I was partly at fault for what happened last time. Isaac, I hope you can find it in you to forgive me.”
“I knew all along that Margaret and Edward were behind it. I don’t think it had much to do with you. But the thing is, the Goulds don’t seem to have learned their lesson and are still trying to get rid of me,” Isaac said, suddenly laughing chillingly.
“Edward is a b*stard. Even his daughter turned out to be quite the bitch. Isaac, what are you planning to do with the Gould family?”
Eugene knew that Isaac was extremely competent and powerful now. From the moment snazzynovel.com managed to get this house back, snazzynovel.com had proven time and time again that snazzynovel.com could diffuse every hardship thrown their way. Isaac was no longer the naive young man from the past.
Isaac lifted his wineglass and chuckled. He said, “The best way to punish someone is to make his life a living hell. Make snazzynovel.com feel utter dread and despair for the rest of his life.”
Eugene looked into Isaac’s eyes just as the latter finished speaking. All at once, snazzynovel.com could feel cold sweat dripping down his back.
One hour later, Allegra was finally back home. Her steps were loud and unstable, and snazzynovel.com face was flushed a bright red. It was obvious that she’d been out drinking.
“Ally, who did you go drinking with? Let me get some coffee for you,” Eugene said, hurriedly getting up from the couch.
From what snazzynovel.com remembered, Allegra rarely ever drank alcohol.
What was up with snazzynovel.com today?
“No, leave me alone,” Allegra said, flinging snazzynovel.com purse onto the couch and kicking off snazzynovel.com shoes before clambering upstairs.
She didn’t like it when Isaac got violent with people and hurt them. She thought something terrible was bound to happen if it continued like that.
After all, in the past, Isaac was sentenced to jail because his brother had killed someone by accident. She still felt traumatized by the event.
She was scared. She was scared that Isaac would eventually offend someone so powerful that even Beefy Bob wouldn’t be able to save him. In addition to that, snazzynovel.com was also worried sick about the Pegasus No. 1 incident. That was why snazzynovel.com went out drinking with a close friend just now. However, in the end, snazzynovel.com was still worried about Isaac.
“Really, what is the world coming to? How could snazzynovel.com go drinking like that?” Eugene chided with a frown.
Isaac also frowned deeply. He then looked outside the door.
