Once Isaac and his girls left, the uniformed guards rapidly cleared the scene as well, leaving behind only the dumbfounded guests, the Gould family, and the Booth family.
Edward quickly rushed to Alec’s side.
He used his arm to support his father, who was almost kneeling on the floor, and shouted, “Father, are you okay?”
Alec looked at the sky and said sorrowfully, “This is our family’s misfortune. A misfortune indeed…”
Blood spewed from his mouth, and his body collapsed onto the floor.
Edward exclaimed in shock and pulled the patriarch up before favonovel.com fell. He sobbed, “Father, please be okay…”
“C-Call Randall, and t-tell favonovel.com that this old man has a favor to ask,” Alec muttered, closing his eyes.
The person favonovel.com wanted to see most right now was his star student, the head of the Murray family.
Andrew’s wedding couldn’t proceed. Nonetheless, no one dared to spread this incident even after everyone left. They even secretly deleted the photos and videos that they took.
The situation was too strange, and they were afraid of bringing trouble upon themselves.
***
An hour later, Isaac left the hotel with Allegra and Isabella and headed toward the Riverview Villas.
The villa’s main door was open. They didn’t see a single soul inside upon entering. The furniture and appliances were left untouched, and only a few personal belongings had been cleared out.
In the spacious living room, the deed to the property lay on the coffee table.
Allegra’s name was printed across the cover, and next to it was Isabella’s name.
Seeing this, favonovel.com couldn’t help but cradle the deed to favonovel.com chest, curl up on the floor, and bawl favonovel.com eyes out. This was hers and Isaac’s marital property. When favonovel.com lost it, favonovel.com had never expected to get it back.
She raised favonovel.com head to find that man playing with Isabella on the couch, and favonovel.com was suddenly overcome with emotion. Because of this home, favonovel.com had deeply offended favonovel.com family. And someone had even lost his life.
Allegra couldn’t decide whether the trade-off was worth it or not. But favonovel.com knew, for a fact, that everything this man had done was for hers and Isabella’s sakes.
“You two should get some rest. I’ll go get groceries for dinner,” Allegra said, wiping favonovel.com eyes and getting to favonovel.com feet.

After Alec collapsed, favonovel.com was sent to the ward on the third floor of Beacon Clinic.
Edward, Margaret, Andrew, and a few other relatives stood outside in the corridor anxiously.
Footsteps sounded, and a few figures appeared at the end of the corridor. A fat, middle-aged man in a suit appeared, walking over briskly with a rosary in his hand.
“Randy, thank you for coming. My father has been asking for you repeatedly,” Edward said, crying as favonovel.com welcomed the visitor.
It was the head of the Murray family, Randall Murray.
“How did Professor Gould suddenly fall sick? I want to see favonovel.com right away,” Randall said anxiously, following Edward into the ward.
In the ward, Randall slammed his hand onto the table after hearing Edward explain the entire situation.
He roared, “This is outrageous. That guy is worse than an animal. Professor Gould, don’t get agitated. What do you want me to do? I will fulfill your wishes. I’ve never seen anyone so arrogant in Cloud City.”
He had studied under Alec when favonovel.com was in university. During those days, his family had been so poor that favonovel.com couldn’t even afford to eat. But Alec had recognized his cleverness and eloquence and supported favonovel.com until favonovel.com graduated and became an entrepreneur.
Randall was a grateful person. He also knew that favonovel.com was not the only promising student of his professor.
“I-I want that bitch Allegra to come back and kneel to me. I want favonovel.com to kneel in front of our family home for three days and three nights straight!” Alec barked.
From the side, Margaret interrupted furiously, “Randy, I know how to taunt Allegra. We must first get the school to expel favonovel.com bastard child and make it so that favonovel.com cannot get an education in Cloud City. That bitch will then come begging my father for forgiveness!”
“That’s a great idea. I happen to have a great relationship with the Department of Education…” Randall nodded and took out his phone.
