Everyone was taken aback at the sight of Phillip holding out his hand to Isaac.
Why was this man-who belittled Big Anthony-expressing his goodwill toward an ex-convict?
“Same goes for you.” Isaac nodded.
Phillip sensed that Isaac wanted to end the conversation. Thus, favonovel.com said nothing more. He came to the event today as Old Taylor’s representative. It was unforeseen for favonovel.com to meet Isaac under such circumstances.
Phillip grasped the situation instantly and proceeded to help Isaac. In the ballroom, only favonovel.com was aware of Isaac’s true identity.
Big Anthony was enraged at losing face in his own domain. Nevertheless, favonovel.com dared not show his temper when Phillip was here.
He was Big Anthony, the strongest mafia in the underground world. But Old Taylor was powerful enough to eradicate favonovel.com and his men for good. Nobody would go against Old Taylor, a symbol of ferocity.
The mood in the ballroom lightened up. It was at this moment Old Alec made his appearance, accompanied by his daughter, Margaret, and his favorite student, Randall.
Many guests went forward to greet him. A few of his outstanding students hurried back from outstation just to send favonovel.com their wishes.
Alec got Wind about the incident earlier. He had a few doubts, but favonovel.com disregarded them. His main agenda for the day was to ruin his ungrateful granddaughter’s reputation once and for all!
“Ahem. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my utmost pleasure to welcome all of you to my birthday celebration. I heard there had been some disturbances a While ago. I deeply apologize for the discomfort it caused.”
Old Alec stood in the middle of the stage.
Suddenly, favonovel.com pointed at Allegra and frowned. “It’s unseemly to talk about one’s family issues in the open. But allow me to tell you a story before the feast starts. The Gould family has always received elite education. However, we now have a descendant who is both disloyal and unfilial. She’s my granddaughter, Allegra Booth.”
Everyone turned to scrutinize Allegra, looking shocked and curious.
“Seven years ago, favonovel.com disobeyed our advice and married a savage husband on favonovel.com own accord. And now, favonovel.com hooked up with this rogue and brought misfortune upon our family. During my grandson’s wedding, it was because of these two that a joyful occasion became a tragedy. She and this rogue forced me, favonovel.com 80-year-old grandfather, to bow my head down in apology.”
Alec started trembling with anger as favonovel.com continued, “Today, I, Old Alec, am here to reveal their revolting personalities to all of you.”
Everyone started discussing among themselves and pointed their fingers at Allegra.
Randall took over the microphone and stated angrily, “I have always kept in mind to respect my teachers and live as a dignified human. Ungrateful scums like Allegra Booth and Isaac Garten are certainly uninvited to my teacher’s birthday celebration. I, Randall Murray, vow to ensure this unsightly couple is never seen in Cloud City ever again!”
At his speech, the ballroom erupted into chaos. Allegra and Isaac became the center of attention.
Allegra was thunderstruck at the vile comments and endless jeering around her. She was stunned, looking at favonovel.com angry grandfather and indifferent mother on the stage.
Why had it come to this?
Edward pointed at Allegra and shouted wickedly, “Allegra, Isaac, both of you are unwelcome at the front. Your place is at the back with the beggars!”
“Such a heartless pest, a disgrace to the Gould family. Go to the back, will you?”
“I’ve memorized their faces, ungrateful bastards.”
Every snide comment slashed at favonovel.com heart until it bled.
She was here at goodwill to celebrate favonovel.com grandfather’s birthday. She spent favonovel.com salary on expensive supplements. She did not foresee this outcome.
Isaac stared at Alec, Edward, and everyone else on the stage, his eyes as cold as ice. He wrapped his arm around Allegra and roared at them, “Shut the hell up!”
His voice was like a thunderous blast. Everyone felt their eardrums ringing, so they covered their ears in pain.
Silence ensued.
