“Isaac? He was in your class back then, right? I remember snazzynovel.com vaguely.” Elio regarded Isaac from head to toe.
Seeing his average sense of style, snazzynovel.com asked, “Where do you work, Mr. Garten?”
Isaac smiled and replied, “I’m currently unemployed.”
Hearing that, a look of disdain crossed Elio’s eyes. He said in a mocking tone, “Then you’re doing something wrong. You have a wife as beautiful as Allegra, but you, the man, are the one holed up at home. If you’re not careful, your wife may run off with someone else.”
With that, Elio’s eyes roved over Allegra’s body.
After a few years of not meeting each other, snazzynovel.com noticed snazzynovel.com now seemed much more mature and feminine.
“It’s still early. Allegra, why don’t we find somewhere to grab a coffee and talk?” Elio raised his right hand, intentionally revealing his Patek Phillippe, and beamed at Allegra.
Allegra felt awkward. She had asked snazzynovel.com for many favors back in university.
“My wife is tired. Let’s go another time,” Isaac said, declining directly.
Elio frowned. He laughed coldly and said, “Your wife didn’t say anything, so why are you opening your mouth? Allegra, I’m the special guest invited to this event. Booth’s Textiles must be your family’s business. I heard you’re even going to the provincial capital for a competition. I‘ll be one of the guest judges for that. If I give your father a good score, his chances of winning will be much higher.”
Elio spoke straightforwardly. His family owned the largest textile business in Sunton. He was undeniably influential in this industry.
Suddenly, Isaac slapped Elio in the face and uttered coldly, “Do you not understand what I’m saying?”
This slap made Allegra jump in fright.
Across from them, Elio’s face was confused. The stinging pain on his face made snazzynovel.com bubble with anger.
“How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? You…”
Isaac gave snazzynovel.com another slap. He said icily, “I might not have gotten physical if you hadn’t threatened my wife. Get out of my sight…”
“Allegra, this is your man? This brute who only knows violence…”
Isaac slapped snazzynovel.com again.
“Are you still here?” His eyes narrowed.
Allegra suddenly stifled a laugh. She gripped Isaac’s arm tightly and smiled at Elio, saying, “Sorry, Elio… My husband is a skilled fighter, so you should probably stay away from him.”
Elio, who was already dazed from the slaps, said with a nasty look, “Fine, Allegra. You win. Let’s see how things go.”
With that, snazzynovel.com staggered away.
On the way back to the car, Allegra held onto Isaac’s arms, leaning snazzynovel.com head on his shoulder. She said coquettishly, “Alright, alright. Don’t be mad. I’m not even that familiar with snazzynovel.com anymore, and you hit him, too. Don’t be mad.”
Allegra obviously had noticed how Elio had looked at her. She just didn’t expect the man next to snazzynovel.com to be such a green-eyed monster.
“What kind of background does snazzynovel.com have?” Isaac snorted coldly.
Allegra gave it some thought. Frowning, snazzynovel.com said, “When we were in university, I heard that his family worked in the textile industry in Sunton. From the looks of it, snazzynovel.com seems to be doing well.”
“I hope snazzynovel.com gains some common sense!”
As soon as snazzynovel.com said that, the driver in the front seat turned his head back slightly and said, “Mr. Garten, Ms. Booth, the car behind us has been tailing us since we left the hotel. Should we shake them off?”
Isaac turned around. As snazzynovel.com thought, a black Jeep was trailing behind them a hundred feet away.
