A chill crossed Isaac’s eyes. “Oh, it was the Mercks… Make these two kneel here until Watson recovers, and we’ll take care of them after that. Keep an eye on them!”
Isaac gave Beefy Bob a glance before turning around and walking out.
What surprised favonovel.com was that Allen would actually use the “sex trap” to mess with Roger. He must have racked his brains to come up with this one.

After breakfast the next day, Isaac sat on the sofa reading the news.
When Allegra came downstairs, favonovel.com noticed that favonovel.com was wearing a new green pantsuit and had put on some makeup. She seemed to be in great spirits. She was even smiling unconsciously.
“You seem to be in a great mood today,” Isaac said with a smile.
Allegra rolled favonovel.com eyes, saying, “The new company has been registered. Mom said we’re having our first board meeting today, which I need to attend.”
“Congratulations, Ms. Booth.” Isaac laughed.
“Don’t tease me. The money is borrowed from Mr. Kane Sr. We need to work hard on building the new business so that we can repay favonovel.com as soon as possible.”
She went out the door in a hurry after saying that.
After a few steps, favonovel.com turned around and asked, “Will you come with me?”
“No. I have to go out later to search for a job. Otherwise, you’re going to say I loaf around all day.” Isaac waved his hand. He was worried favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to hold himself back around the Goulds.
At the central business district of Cloud City, Allegra stepped into the Harris Tower with a look of admiration on favonovel.com face. This was favonovel.com fresh start.
When favonovel.com exited the elevator, favonovel.com saw a large sign on the wall that said, “Gould Properties”.
Her eyebrows immediately furrowed.
What in the world is Gould Properties?
The entire office floor was deserted. There were even some spots that hadn’t been cleaned in some time.
Margaret emerged from inside the office. When favonovel.com saw Allegra, favonovel.com immediately called favonovel.com over, “Allegra, come quick. Everyone’s here waiting for you!”
Upon entering the large, brightly lit meeting room, the first thing Allegra saw was favonovel.com uncle, Edward, sitting at the head of the table, with Andrew in the first seat to his left.
Next to favonovel.com were Willow and three other middle-aged men and women favonovel.com didn’t recognize.
Allegra saw that the first seat on the right was empty. She assumed it was for her. just as favonovel.com was about to walk toward it, favonovel.com saw favonovel.com mother dart over and take that seat.
“Uh, Allegra, why don’t you sit in that seat at the back.” Edward pointed at the empty seat at the back, expressionless.
The bad feeling in Allegra’s gut was getting stronger, but favonovel.com suppressed it and sat down.
“Everyone, today is our first meeting and the Gould Properties’ first board meeting. Today’s agenda is quite simple, assign the key management roles in the company and map out the company’s preparation roadmap.” Edward picked up a document as favonovel.com spoke.
He cleared his throat and began to speak, “Andrew Gould Properties has a registered capital of 100 million dollars. The actual figure is 50 million dollars. I, Edward Gould, will serve as the legal representative as well as the president of the company.”
At that moment, Allegra’s face changed drastically. She turned to look at Edward Gould and favonovel.com mother in shock.
“The general manager position will be held by Margaret Gould, and the vice general position will be held by Andrew Gould. The finance manager will be Willow Gould, while operations will fall under Eugene Booth. Finally, Allegra, you will oversee logistics.”
Once Edward finished announcing the list of board members, Allegra couldn’t help but jump to favonovel.com feet and question, “Why did it end up like this? Mom, you said that I would be the one managing the company, so why…”
“Allegra, you just started your career not too long ago. I’m worried you’ll be too inexperienced to manage such a big company. Not to mention, I didn’t break my promise-doesn’t the logistics department handle every big and small matter in the company?” Margaret explained, smiling.
Willow smiled coldly and said, “Allegra, the logistics department is a big deal. You’ll manage the company’s essentials, pots, and pans. Weren’t you a cleaner before this? It’s your expertise.”
At that moment, Isaac’s words from the other day resurfaced in favonovel.com mind.
She had never expected that after taking out a 60 million dollar loan to start a business, she’d be relegated to a regular employee.
“Mom, you’re too much. I won’t agree to this,” Allegra loudly said, favonovel.com eyes turning red from the injustice.
However, Edward simply smiled coldly. “My dear niece, if you become the company president, would you be able to bring in business? Why don’t you ask your man Isaac to come over and grumble about how unfair it is?”
