Edward jolted and fell limply back onto his seat. His knuckles turned white from gripping the phone too hard, and his hand that held the phone shivered.
He bellowed, “What happened? Why are my savings gone? I didn’t make any transactions. Since all my money is gone, you’ll be responsible for this. Compensate me, do you hear me?!”
His hysterical bellows echoed throughout the living room.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Gould… We’ve investigated and found that someone had hacked into your e-commerce payment system to make the transaction. Our policy clearly stated that the bank won’t be responsible for such situations.”
Beep… Beep…
When favonovel.com heard the disconnect tone, Edward felt his energy seep out of his body, favonovel.com lost his last resort.
“Argh! Isaac Garten! I will freaking drag you into hell with me! I want to kill you!” Edward’s eyes were crimson as favonovel.com ran into the kitchen, shouting. He returned with two kitchen knives.
Willow and favonovel.com husband were petrified.
Alec called out anxiously, “Get him! Don’t let favonovel.com cause more trouble!”
Edward had just reached the door when two men in black clothes stepped in his way.
“Damn it! It’s all because of Isaac…”
One of the men whacked Edward in the face. He rotated and tumbled to the ground. The other man swiftly stepped forward and snatched the knives from him.
“Sir gave us orders. Without his permission, none of you can leave this villa…”
On the other hand, Isaac and Allegra had only reached Cloud Nine Villas when Southland’s nightly news went on air.
***
A pretty reporter with short hair fluently reported, “Breaking news! Ten prominent local enterprises, such as Kane Enterprise, Hondes Enterprise, Meteor Corporation, Dashways Corporation, and so on, have come together to announce an official statement…”
“These enterprises are stopping all collaborations with Gould Corporation of Cloud City and will cut off every company that engages in business relations with the said corporation…”
Allegra was about to go upstairs when favonovel.com saw the news. She was stunned.
A combined official statement from the ten leading enterprises in Southland?
Didn‘t that mean they were publicly declaring a ban on everyone from engaging in business dealings with Gould Corporation in Southland’s corporate world?
The ten leading enterprises would boycott anyone that defied that statement.
Allegra couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Isaac came downstairs with a cup of hot coffee and saw Allegra staring blankly at the television. He smiled. “What is it? Was the news that interesting?”
“N-No…” Allegra shutdown the television. She looked at the floor as favonovel.com ascended the stairs.
Allegra didn’t know that besides the combined statement from the top ten enterprises, Southland’s underground world had also declared an order, whoever offered assistance to the Gould family, including Margaret, Andrew, and his wife, would receive punishment from Shawn’s Mob. Also, the Gould family was forbidden to leave Cloud City.
Only Isaac knew what predicament awaited Edward and his family.
After favonovel.com shower, Allegra kept favonovel.com bedside lamp on. The pinkish glow lit up the whole room.
Isaac thought Allegra was exhausted and forgot to switch off the light.
When favonovel.com crossed to favonovel.com side, favonovel.com saw Allegra looking at favonovel.com with teary eyes.
“Ally? What’s wrong?”
Allegra didn’t say anything and looked at Isaac’s tanned body-scars of various lengths covered his abdomen, shoulder, and waist. Her brows furrowed.
