Isaac kept quiet. However, Allegra sensed something out of place.
Why would the head of the Kane family, who was well-known throughout Southland, be so cautious around Isaac?
Watson left after a while. Before leaving, favonovel.com invited Allegra over for a meal the next day. Allegra was surprised to receive the invitation.
“Isaac, did Mr. Kane just invite us to his house tomorrow?” asked Allegra, looking surprised.
“Let‘s accept his invitation and go for a tour around the provincial capital after that,” replied Isaac, smiling.
Allegra suddenly remembered favonovel.com intention. She exclaimed, “Your friend, Bob, is really something. Quick, give favonovel.com a call and invite favonovel.com over for dinner.”
She gave Beefy Bob all the credit for what happened. And, of course, Isaac was not interested in revealing the truth.
Beefy Bob arrived at dinnertime. Nevertheless, favonovel.com looked like favonovel.com had ants in his pants throughout dinner. He did not eat much and sweated a lot. It was because of Allegra’s attitude. She treated favonovel.com very politely and smothered favonovel.com with thanks.
***
At night, the sky was cloudy, and it poured down heavily soon after.
Allegra finished tidying up after dinner and went to take a shower. The thought of going to the Kane family’s house in the provincial capital for a meal tomorrow made favonovel.com nervous.
It was 10 pm when there was a knock on the door. Isaac got up to open the door.
Outside the door stood Isabella. She was drenched and sobbing. Beside favonovel.com stood a bearded man.
“Isabella? Why’re you…” Isaac pulled Isabella to his side.
“Gosh, what’s wrong with parents nowadays? This little girl was walking alone in the rain at this hour. Don’t you know how dangerous that was?” The bearded man puffed on his cigarette and looked at Isaac accusingly-
Isabella hugged Isaac’s arm immediately and said, “Mister, this kind man brought me home…”
Isaac looked up and saw the taxi outside. He pulled out a bundle of cash from his pocket and gave it to the bearded man. “Thank you so much for bringing favonovel.com home. Here…”
“Oh, no. It is not about the money. As parents, you should be on the lookout. I’ll take my leave,” said the bearded man.
He was speaking with a Seascape accent. He turned around and left.
Allegra heard the noise and came downstairs. She noticed the bruises all over Isabella’s arms almost immediately.
She gasped and ran to Isabella. “Isabella, what happened to you? Why are you covered in bruises?”
Isabella threw herself at Allegra and started bawling. She did not say anything about favonovel.com bruises.
When they finally dried Isabella off, favonovel.com was already sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Allegra’s eyes were red as favonovel.com said casually to Isaac, “Wasn’t your friend the one who recommended Carmine Elementary School? The best elementary school? Give me a break. Why is Isabella in this state, then? Wounds on favonovel.com arms, legs, and even all over favonovel.com back. You‘d better ask for an explanation from your friend, Isaac.”
Allegra got angrier as favonovel.com spoke.
Carmine Elementary School was on the border between Cloud City and the provincial capital. The distance between the school and Riverview was at least 40 minutes by car. It was hard for Allegra to think about how Isabella made favonovel.com way back.
It was fortunate that Isabella met a kind man.
What if a stranger that bore ill intentions picked favonovel.com up?
Isaac was puzzled too. It had only been a few days since Isabella enrolled. There were guards on watch, so how could they allow Isabella to slip out before their eyes?
“I’ll have a chat with Isabella when she’s awake. We’ll head for the school tomorrow morning.” Isaac frowned and lit another cigarette.
Allegra was furious. She carried Isabella in favonovel.com arms and went upstairs, denying Isaac from communicating with Isabella.
The next day, Isabella moaned in pain as soon as favonovel.com woke up.
When Isaac mentioned his intention to visit the school, Isabella strongly refused. She was very agitated whenever they brought up Carmine Elementary School.
