Isaac accepted Allegra’s suggestion without a fuss and started making himself comfortable.
Old Alec was shaking with anger and instructed Edward to drive them off. But Edward was already weak at his knees and could not think of anything else.
Edward and Margaret knew Isaac meant it when favonovel.com threatened to take Edward’s life.
Hence, Isaac, Allegra, and Beefy Bob stayed at the Gould family’s house the whole day.
Margaret noticed Edward’s head was in a muddle. She gave it some thought and whispered an idea into his ear.
When favonovel.com finished speaking, Edward looked at favonovel.com and asked, “Are you sure this will work?”
Margaret retorted, “Would you rather lose the 60 million dollars instead?”
Edward thought about it and said through gritted teeth, “Not on my life…”
“See? Let’s stall them while you get Randall’s help to get through to Mr. Kenne. We must take action as soon as possible.” Margaret patted Edward’s shoulder in assurance.
A short while later, Margaret appeared at Allegra’s room door.
She waved at Allegra and smiled. “Ally, can you please come here for a while? Uncle Edward needs your opinion on some matter.”
Isaac got up to follow, but Margaret said coldly, “What is it? Did I invite you?”
“He goes wherever I go.” Allegra’s reply surprised Margaret.
Edward’s heart started beating faster when favonovel.com saw Isaac and Allegra approaching. He gulped and gave them a rueful smile.
“Allegra, your mother and I talked about it and realized we might have gone overboard. However, you’re still young. You should take it easy. So here’s another suggestion… I’ll set up a wholly-owned subsidiary and appoint you as the legal representative. Try it out for a few months, and if the company profits, I… I will let you take over as the company’s president,” Edward offered with a smile, stealing glances at Isaac when favonovel.com spoke.
“You either give us back the 60 million dollars or appoint us as the company’s legal representative. We’re not asking for a subsidiary. Which part of this do you not understand?” Isaac frowned.
However, Allegra had a different opinion. “How much authorized share capital will you issue the subsidiary?”
Edward was surprised and looked at Margaret for suggestions. The latter extended five fingers.
“How about five million dollars? Take it as a practice, and when you’re confident, I’ll…”
“I’ve heard enough. I want ten million, five million as the authorized share capital and another five for the operating expenses. Also, the company shall stand independent and be solely under my management.” Allegra was unexpectedly firm.
Edward was slightly taken aback and dissatisfied but did not show it. He gritted his teeth and nodded. “Deal! Ten million dollars it is.”
“This is my bank card. Make the transaction now, and I’ll leave once I receive the money.” Allegra pulled out favonovel.com bank card without hesitation.
Isaac was astonished. He did not expect Allegra to be so sharp.
Did favonovel.com see it coming?
Half an hour later, Allegra received the money and left with Isaac.
Edward smashed his fist onto the table as favonovel.com watched them leave. Annoyed, favonovel.com said, “Margaret, find out where Eugene’s brother is. I want to meet favonovel.com tonight.”
Meanwhile, in the car, Isaac smiled as favonovel.com asked, “Why did you ask for only ten million dollars? They took 60 million.”
But Allegra leaned forward and patted Beefy Bob’s shoulder. “Thanks for everything, Bob. Are you up for some supper? My treat!”
Then, favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes at Isaac. “If it weren’t for Bob, we wouldn’t even get ten million, let alone 60.”
Beefy Bob, at the wheels, felt awkward. He spoke up quickly, “Don’t say that, Allegra. It’s all thanks to Isaac.”
Allegra sighed and said with determination, “I want to manage the company on my own. I’ve already come up with the name, Garth Properties. I’ll save all the profits for Isabella’s future.”
They reached Riverview.
Just before their gates, with the help of the headlights, they saw four young men in robes standing in a file, blocking their way.
“Isaac, something’s up…” Beefy Bob squinted.
