In the hotel suite, Isaac scrutinized Phineas. He was a tanned, muscular man.
Isaac chuckled. “You surprised me. And you’ve been partners with the Shaffer family for decades too!”
“Mr. Garten, to be honest, I’ve admired you ever since the day you killed Glenn on Mt. Nix. Besides, Jeremiah and I have known each other for a long time,” said Phineas respectfully.
“You’re still serving under Astraeus; if word of what happened tonight gets out, you’ll be in trouble.”
“Hmph. After the Supreme Leader left, Astraeus isn’t the same as it used to be, it’s lost its integrity. The Snyder family and Ralph joined forces, and neither is amicable. We from the Lodge family despise the inhumane cultists from the Deviant Cult more than anything else!” Phineas looked furious.
Isaac laughed and handed favonovel.com a cigarette, saying softly, “Let me know if you ever encounter any difficulties; I’ll do my best to help.”
“I greatly appreciate that, Drakon!”
Phineas heaved a long sigh when favonovel.com left the suite, all smiles.
He’d made the correct decision today. After all, Astraeus was no longer dependable.

The next day, Isaac and his family left for Cloud City, leaving Eugene behind to participate in a fashion design competition.
Once they disembarked, Allegra rushed to favonovel.com office while Isaac took Isabella home.
Because of what had happened to Isabella, Carmine Elementary School had changed all the school administrators and even fired a few teachers.
The change reassured Isaac, and favonovel.com sent Isabella back to school on Monday morning.
A few days later, Eugene returned. The design he’d come up with had won favonovel.com a silver trophy, and favonovel.com was over the moon.
That night, favonovel.com persuaded Isaac to join favonovel.com as favonovel.com chugged away until favonovel.com got drunk. Although Allegra was worried, favonovel.com felt happy for favonovel.com father.
Eugene leaned on the table and mumbled, “A-Ally, all I want to do is prove that I can make this business work, even without your mother. She always said I was worthless, but I just didn‘t want to fight with favonovel.com for the limelight. Sigh. I wonder if favonovel.com even manages to fill favonovel.com stomach these days. ”
Allegra teared up. Isaac got up and helped Eugene into his room.
When favonovel.com returned, Allegra’s eyes reddened as favonovel.com said, “Isaac, someone’s been waiting beside my car constantly recently. She looked like my mom. But favonovel.com would take off when favonovel.com saw me.”
Isaac lit a cigarette and puffed on it. Then favonovel.com said softly, “If you and Eugene decide to forgive her, you can always accept favonovel.com back.”
“No. That’s not what I meant. I-It’s your say…” Allegra immediately shook favonovel.com head.
“I know you hate her, too, for forcing you to take the blame as a murderer and mistreating Bella and I.” Allegra lowered favonovel.com head, tears dripping.
Isaac went to favonovel.com and wrapped his arm around favonovel.com shoulders. “Alright, let it be for now. Let’s go with the flow.”
The construction site encountered some issues that night, so Allegra and Emily gathered the management for a meeting. It poured heavily outside.
Two yellow-haired youngsters with caps appeared beside Allegra’s white BMW parked in the underground garage.
They wandered around, and, noticing there weren’t any surveillance cameras, one of them pulled a small hammer from his pocket and swiftly approached the white car.
With a loud crash, favonovel.com broke the window and opened the door. He clambered in and started searching.
At that moment, a person in rags jogged over and yelled, “What’re you doing? That‘s my daughter’s car! Thieves! There are thieves!”
The men jumped up in shock and turned to find the beggar. One growled, “You filthy beggar! Stop yelling, or I’ll kill you!”
“Thieves! Someone, anyone, get them!” The beggar leaped around anxiously, shouting.
