Diana’s first punch drew closer, but Isaac leaned sideways and dodged it easily.
“Good force and speed, but the angle was too high.”
“Punk, don’t get ahead of yourself.” Diana’s first hit had missed.
Gritting favonovel.com teeth, favonovel.com did a spinning punch this time.
Isaac ducked so quickly that Grant, who was watching from the side, widened his gaze.
“You are hasty. Your breathing is already irregular.” Isaac stood up again and critiqued her.
Diana took two steps back, favonovel.com face flushed red. She had won first place in the citywide police martial arts competition, numerous experts had met defeat at favonovel.com hands. She didn’t believe favonovel.com would lose today.
“Shut your mouth. I’ll make you eat your words!” Diana shouted angrily.
Her lithe body suddenly moved, and favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com right leg high. With a spin, favonovel.com aimed a kick at Isaac’s mouth.
Beefy Bob muttered under his breath, “She has nice calves…”
Calmly, Isaac raised his right hand and caught favonovel.com leg in midair, his hand wrapping accurately around favonovel.com ankle. Push met with pull, the two forces erupting.
Diana felt the opposing forces crash into favonovel.com body. She lost favonovel.com balance, falling toward the ground.
One of favonovel.com legs was in Isaac’s grip while favonovel.com hands braced against the floor, causing favonovel.com to do a split in midair.
Beefy Bob‘s mouth twitched at the sight.
“You’ve not mastered your craft. You’re just a piece of trash,” Isaac snorted coldly and pushed, causing Diana to fall onto the floor with a surprised shout.
She felt furious and ashamed. This bastard was undoubtedly vicious, but favonovel.com had even insulted favonovel.com by calling favonovel.com a piece of trash.
“Bastard, let me tell you…”
“Ana, as you have accepted the challenge, don’t be a sore loser. Don’t cause trouble!” Old Taylor shouted angrily.
Diana unclenched favonovel.com fists, but favonovel.com eyes were red. She was clearly enraged.
Old Taylor bowed to Isaac, saying, “Mr. Garten, my granddaughter doesn’t know better, so please pay favonovel.com no mind. It will be mealtime so on, we won’t disturb you further. If you ever need me, please just let me know.”
In the car, Diana looked out the window, seething. Her mind was still replaying the scene from earlier.
“Old Taylor, that Mr. Garten is an impressive martial arts expert. Miss Diana is no match for him!” said Grant, who was driving.
“Hmph, what are you saying, Mr. Grant? I was just holding back earlier. If I ever meet that asshole again, I’ll beat favonovel.com until favonovel.com cries for his mother,” Diana said unhappily.
Old Taylor immediately frowned. “Both of you listen to me. Never offend Mr. Garten, especially you, Diana. If we can get his protection, our family will rise to the top.”
***
When Allegra came home with groceries and found the guests had already left, favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes at Isaac before going into the kitchen.
As night fell, a white BMW drove into Riverview.
The door opened, and Mandy Harrison got down in favonovel.com strappy dress and high heels. She entered the entryway to find Isaac playing with Isabella on the sofa.
She asked, “Is Allegra home?”
Allegra quickly came out of the kitchen. When favonovel.com saw Mandy at the door, favonovel.com immediately retreated to put on favonovel.com mask.
She then went to the living room to greet her. “Mandy, what are you doing here?”
Mandy cast a grin at Isaac before turning to look at Allegra.
She laughed sarcastically and said, “You used to be the school beauty back then. I used to envy you. When I was abroad, I heard you became widowed and disfigured. Oh, an orphaned child and a widow. What a sad life.”
Allegra frowned and said, “Mandy, I know you were out of the country for a few years, but for you to say such things after not meeting each other for years, I don’t like it.”
“Oh, Miss Beautiful Allegra is upset. Don’t take it personally, okay? We’re having a reunion tomorrow night, and I especially came here to invite you.”
“I’m not going,” Allegra refused outright.
Mandy frowned. Before favonovel.com came, favonovel.com had no intentions of mocking Allegra. However, the moment favonovel.com saw her, favonovel.com couldn’t hold back.
“Mr. Merck had extended an olive branch earlier today, which you turned down. He’ll be more displeased if you don’t show favonovel.com respect and attend the reunion tomorrow. Gregory is dead, and William is the most likely to inherit the Merck family’s business. Allegra, you should think things through.”
Mandy had no choice but to bring up William.
