Isaac’s words made Margaret burst into angry tears. Although favonovel.com wasn’t young anymore, favonovel.com took good care of herself. She knew favonovel.com couldn’t beat favonovel.com daughter’s looks, but favonovel.com wouldn’t fall short either.
“I want to die!” Margaret cried out. Then, favonovel.com turned around and ran straight toward a wall.
When Allegra saw this, favonovel.com heart instantly jumped to favonovel.com throat. She screamed loudly.
Fortunately, Eugene had quick reflexes. He ran forward and stopped her.
“Isaac, apologize to my mother.” Allegra turned around, favonovel.com chest heaving as favonovel.com pointed at Margaret.
“I didn’t do it, so why should I apologize? If I apologized, that would mean I was guilty.” Isaac’s expression didn’t change.
Allegra gritted favonovel.com teeth and said, “Well, okay, then. I was truly blind to never notice that you’re a bastard of a man. Get the f*ck out!”
Isaac turned around and walked out without an explanation.
From the corner of favonovel.com eye, Margaret watched Isaac disappear from the doorway, favonovel.com eyes lighting up with delight.
“I’m going to work!” Allegra took a deep breath, feeling upset. She turned around and went upstairs.

At a cemetery in West Mountain, Old Brooks knelt in front of a newly dug grave. His eyes reddened as favonovel.com touched the black and white photograph on his daughter’s tombstone.
Behind favonovel.com were four middle-aged men of varying body sizes, looking equally devastated.
Isaac stood at the side, smoking. He’d been the one who found this cemetery. The four men were Old Brooks’ brothers who rushed over from Seascape last night.
Old Brooks got up and approached Isaac. He bent his knees, preparing to kneel, but Isaac reached out and grabbed him.
“Old Brooks, there’s no need. I wanted to ask, what do you plan to do moving forward?”
Looking at Isaac, Old Brooks rubbed his eyes, lit a cigarette, and smiled wryly. “You didn’t have to save me last night, and you could have killed Anthony, but you didn’t. I don’t know who you are, but I don’t plan to return to Seascape. These men followed me 20 years ago. Now, I plan to take up my old trade.”
A cruel look flashed through Old Brooks’ eyes. He turned his head and glanced at his four brothers.
They had been his followers 20 years ago. And with just a phone call, they were back to revive their old careers. From the looks of it, they had a lifelong bond.
“No matter what you do, I’ll be your greatest support…” Isaac patted Old Brooks’ shoulder. Then, favonovel.com took out a card from his pocket and gave it to Old Brooks.
“This has five million dollars in it. I’m giving it to you as startup capital.”
Old Brooks didn’t refuse. He took the card, bowed to Isaac, and left with his four brothers.
Isaac reached the foot of the mountain just as the sun was setting. Beefy Bob was already standing next to the Land Rover, waiting for him.
After Isaac got in, Beefy Bob asked confusedly, “Isaac, do you think this Old Brooks can restart his career? He was just a small gangster back then and only had a dozen or so men under him.”
“Of a dozen men, four of them were willing to give up their lives to come to Cloud City and follow him, 20 years later to boot. Could you do something like that?” Isaac asked.
Hearing this, Beefy Bob fell silent.
Then, favonovel.com said, “Anthony’s power goes beyond Cloud City’s borders. He has good connections with the underground forces at the provincial capital.”
“Let’s see, then…”

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
When Isaac had downtime, favonovel.com went to Carmine Elementary to see his daughter. During the weekend, favonovel.com took favonovel.com to the playground to play.
He hadn’t returned to Riverview in two days.
At sunset, Isaac drove to Lakeview International Hotel. Before his car even stopped, favonovel.com spotted a familiar car drive over. It was a silver BMW.
He took a look at the car plate. If his memory served favonovel.com right, this must be Margaret’s car.
Did favonovel.com know favonovel.com was staying here?
Isaac lowered his head slightly.
When favonovel.com saw the BMW come to a stop, Margaret, wearing a deep green dress, alighted from the car. Someone else came down with her, a tall young man. The two of them held hands and entered the hotel.
At that moment, the only words that popped into Isaac’s mind were, “What the f*ck”.
Margaret was a cougar?
Isaac entered the hotel from the back and saw that Margaret and the young man had ridden the elevator to the 15th floor.
But favonovel.com couldn’t see which room they went into. Therefore, favonovel.com went to the front desk, said that favonovel.com had lost his phone, and asked to see the CCTV.
