However, a middle-aged man behind them frowned and snorted, “Finley, who’s the big shot? The nerves favonovel.com has to keep us waiting out here!”
The man speaking was Rowen Hines, the patriarch of the Hines family and Fortune Jewelry Corporation’s president. Fortune Jewelry Corporation was ranked second in Seascape.
Beefy Bob frowned. He snorted, “No one invited you. Get going if you’re unwilling to wait.”
It was already dawn when Isaac and Allegra fell asleep.
Why would favonovel.com wake them up for the likes of these people?
“Holy shit, you fatso! Do you have any idea who we…”
“Mr. Hines, that’s enough! Be quiet!” Finley scolded. Then, favonovel.com smiled at Beefy Bob and said, “Forgive us, Mr. Bob… We’ll wait right here. Mr. and Mrs. Garten should rest well…”
Allegra had already come downstairs by then. She saw Beefy Bob entering and also a bunch of people waiting outside.
She asked, “Bob, are they here for Isaac?”
“You’re awake, Allegra. Seascape’s official in charge, the Chamber of Commerce’s president, and several business people are here to visit Isaac. I made them wait,” Beefy Bob smiled as favonovel.com replied.
The official in charge?
And the Chamber’s president?
“I-Isn’t that inappropriate?” Allegra covered favonovel.com mouth, looking shocked.
Seascape was the most economically developed area in Cynea. It was near the Eastern Sea. Although it was a small city, it was only second to Pecling in terms of hidden talents.
Besides, weren’t those two representatives from the political and commerce areas?
How could they wait outside the house?
“There’s nothing inappropriate about that. Isaac hasn’t been getting enough sleep recently.”
Allegra thought of Isaac, still deep in sleep when favonovel.com was awake, and nodded. But concern lingered in her.
An hour later, Isaac woke up.
Beefy Bob trotted up to Isaac and informed favonovel.com of his visitors. Isaac was stunned.
He smiled. “Everyone’s here… The Neal family was wiped out, aren’t they supposed to be mourning the death of their ally? It seems like someone gave the game away.” Isaac waved his hand casually and continued, “Let them in… Also, inform the generals that we’ll have lunch together.”
Soon, Finley and the rest walked into the living room.
Allegra was sitting next to Isaac. She was currently one of the most successful businesswomen in Cloud City, Garth Properties couldn’t even begin to compare with the subsidiary of tycoons in Seascape, especially the likes of Finley.
“Jefferson Wilkins. I didn’t realize that you were in Seascape, Mr. Garten. Apologies for our late welcome. Greetings, Mrs. Garten!”
“Finley Montoya. Honor to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Garten!”
The others came forward to greet them too.
Allegra was at a loss for words due to anxiety. It was favonovel.com first time dealing with so many big shots concurrently, and they waited so long outside, too.
But why did they look so delighted?
She didn’t know that Finley and Jefferson’s top concern was Isaac refusing to meet them.
“I believe you’re all having a lot on your plates; why bother yourselves with an outsider like me? I truly hadn’t seen this coming…” Isaac lit a cigarette, smiling at them.
None of them sat as Isaac didn’t invite them to take their seats. They slightly bowed as they surrounded the coffee table.
“Hmph! Pretentious! The incident with the Neal family, was it you?” Suddenly, someone broke the peace. Rowen snorted and looked at Isaac before taking a seat on the couch opposite Isaac.
Jefferson and Finley shuddered. They looked toward Rowen, appalled and furious.
They had explained the circumstances to that bloke before coming here.
Why was favonovel.com acting up all of a sudden?
“So what if it was me? Do you have something to say about that, mister?” Isaac smiled and looked back at Rowen.
