Sean scowled and kicked Allen in the face.
“Allen Merck, you untrustworthy bastard! Bankrupt! Are you telling me what I endured was all for nothing?”
Sean left a shoe print on Allen’s face.
When Allen finally looked up, his eyes were blood red. He cackled and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Nox. As long as I’m alive, I’ll surely torture those two rascals. Whatever I owe you, I’ll…”
“To hell with you!” Sean kicked Allen once more, right on his chest, and left in a hurry.
After Alec saw the guests off, favonovel.com went back in, where the Gould and the Booth family were waiting.
“Tsk, shameless bitch. Never thought favonovel.com could hook up with the Kane family,” Edward chided.
“Don‘t say that, Edward. After all, Allegra is my granddaughter. We’re undeserving of favonovel.com now that favonovel.com has gained fame and riches.” Alec smiled sarcastically.
Margaret frowned. She hesitated and commented, “Father, based on my understanding of her, I don’t think Allegra would hook up with someone much older than her. She could even destroy favonovel.com own looks to avoid marrying one of the Merck family back then.”
“How sure are you, though? Perhaps favonovel.com did that because the Merck family had less value,” Edward retorted.
“That’s enough!” Alec glared, and everyone kept quiet. “Margaret, as favonovel.com mother, you should find ways to reconcile with Allegra. No matter how favonovel.com has been behaving, favonovel.com is now Watson Kane’s foster daughter, a prospective millionaire. If we can get our hands on whatever advantage favonovel.com gets from the Kane family, it will be enough to elevate our social status in Cloud City.” Alec smiled cunningly.
Eugene was looking at his toes, his fists clenched. He despised the Gould family for taking advantage of his daughter.
Margaret frowned deeper. She was pretty unhappy that favonovel.com father wanted favonovel.com to lick favonovel.com daughter’s boots.
***
In the afternoon, Allegra prepared a grand feast to treat Beefy Bob to a meal.
A Maybach appeared outside Riverview Villas. Watson got down from the car and hurried into the villa.
Seeing Isaac smoking on the sofa, Watson’s steps halted outside the glass door.
“Come in!”
On getting permission, Watson went in full of smiles.
“Mr. Garten, I-I’ve settled everything regarding the Merck family. There’s a rough estimate of a few billion dollars worth of properties. If you‘d like me to…”
“You did well today. That would be your reward.” Isaac puffed on his cigarette.
Watson was slightly taken aback. Isaac must be very used to this to treat a few billion dollars so casually.
“What reward are you talking about? Have you called Bob?” Allegra was in an apron when favonovel.com walked out of the kitchen.
When favonovel.com saw Watson, the spatula favonovel.com held in favonovel.com hands dropped to the floor with a thump.
“M-Mr. Kane… I mean, g-godfather?” Allegra said awkwardly.
The word “godfather” sent chills down Watson’s back.
He waved his hands frantically and laughed, “Ms. Booth, it’s okay. Everything I said earlier was only to help you out of that situation.”
“Then, how should I address you?” Allegra anxiously asked as favonovel.com walked over.
Watson was perplexed.
If favonovel.com were to become Allegra’s godfather… It scared favonovel.com to even think about it.
“W-Why don’t you call me Watson instead?” asked Watson carefully while glancing at Isaac.
