“Old Kane, you and I have known each other for years. I’m here today for a reason. My wife is Mr. Merck’s younger sister. I’m sure you’re aware of this?”
Watson frowned the moment Wyatt started speaking.
Watson said nothing. Allen fell to his knees with a loud thump right next to Watson, weeping as favonovel.com said, “Mr. Kane, I know it was you. Please, I beg you, show mercy to the Merck family. That day during Old Alec’s birthday celebration, I was only against Garten and Allegra, that shameless couple. The Merck family has never wronged you and the Kane family.”
Allen looked up, tears streaming down his face as favonovel.com grasped Watson’s arm. “Mr. Kane, let us off the hook, and the Merck family will be your loyal supporters. We saved some gold overseas. If only you would let us go, you’d have the Merck family’s heirloom.”
Allen showed his last card. The Merck family was bending under enormous pressure from all parties.
Watson still said nothing. Wyatt frowned. “Mr. Kane, Mr. Merck is my brother-in-law. They did nothing to get on your bad side. Do the Owens family a favor and let them go, won’t you?”
At the home bar, Allegra and Isaac sat facing each other. They could hear every bit of the conversation in the living room.
Allegra tugged Isaac frantically.
“How are you still drinking so calmly? The Mercks have the Owens family on their side and are clearly pressuring my g-godfather. Will my godfather hand us over to them?” Allegra was worried.
Isaac took another sip and smiled. “That depends on your godfather’s sincerity toward us. I don’t think favonovel.com will betray us!”
In the living room, Watson remained silent.
Wyatt inhaled deeply and slammed the table. He said coldly, “Watson Kane, it can’t be that you’re destroying the Merck family just to back up that shameless couple, can it?”
“Owens, I can’t tell you who I’m doing this for, but I advise you to get your hands off this matter.” Watson stood and sighed. “Owens, this is all I can tell you. Make yourselves at home.”
“Haha, I was right! Watson, you have eyes for that widow, don’t you? Disgusting! I’ve heard about her. She’s but a filthy widow who brought misfortune to favonovel.com husband. How can you be interested in her? Aren’t you afraid that favonovel.com might bring you misfortune too?” Wyatt growled. He was furious because Watson denied his request.
Watson paled. He tried to hush Wyatt from saying more when the door to the home bar opened, and Isaac walked out with an icy expression.
“There are no widows in the Booth family. There’s only Allegra Booth. Moreover, Watson would never think of favonovel.com in that way. Am I right, Mr. Kane?” Isaac stood beside Watson.
“I-Isaac, why are you here?” Allen had just got up from the floor. He was tremendously shocked to see Isaac.
Watson nodded in agreement without a pause. Then favonovel.com frowned at Allen. “Mr. Garten is an honored guest of mine. Do I need to inform you of his presence?”
Allen backed up and kept quiet.
“So, you’re Isaac Garten? A parasite that appeared in Cloud City out of nowhere and is now an honored guest of the Kane family. What a coincidence to meet you here today.” Wyatt smirked, stroking his chin.
“You should leave now, Owens!” Watson frowned and tried hard to hint at Wyatt.
Wyatt put down his hand and raised an eyebrow. “Leave? This parasite named Garten caused so much trouble for my brother-in-law. I have to see for myself…”
Isaac took a big step forward and slapped Wyatt.
The slap rang throughout the room. There was dead silence in the living room.
“You’re all respected and influential members of society, but why can’t you speak like a decent human? Did you learn nothing about manners when you were in school?” Isaac looked coldly at Wyatt.
