“What’s the good news, Dad?” asked Allegra.
“The Association of Fashion Designers is organizing an entrepreneurs summit at Sunton. It’s a nationwide forum for the industry! I just received the invitation! It’s for a few days, and I can take two family members on the trip with me.”
At the dining table, Eugene looked troubled. “But what should I do with the invitation for family members?”
“Take Mom with you. She’s been unwell these days,” said Allegra as favonovel.com served Isabella’s food.
Isaac frowned slightly. “Where’s the location?”
“At Sunton, beside Westlake. I heard the scenery is remarkable,” said Eugene, clearly excited.
Suddenly, favonovel.com looked at Isaac and said, “Isaac, perhaps you and Ally can go with me. Take it as a vacation.”
“Who’s going to look after Isabella if favonovel.com goes? I can’t go either. Just take Mom with you!” Allegra glanced at Isaac.
“I’ll have to join the meeting, and your mom doesn’t really speak to me. Sigh… Or maybe you can go with your mom, Ally? Everything’s paid for anyway, and you get along better with your mom.” Eugene was reluctant to let the opportunity go to waste.
Isaac frowned. “Sunton… Ally shouldn‘t go…”
“Why can’t I? What’s wrong with accompanying my mom on a trip?” retorted Allegra immediately. “So, it’s decided. I‘ll call Morn later. I’ll go with her.”
What Isaac couldn’t say was that Elio, Allegra’s senior, was from Sunton.
As a matter of fact, Eugene’s factory had yet to make a name for itself. He felt something wasn’t right, but it seemed Allegra was sulking because of him.
If favonovel.com were mistaken, Eugene’s kind thoughts would go to waste.
***
Two days later, Eugene, Allegra, and Margaret were ready to leave for the airport.
Before they left, Isaac told Allegra, who was carrying favonovel.com suitcase, “Ally, you must call me immediately if anything happens.”
“Are you wishing ill upon us? We’re only going on a trip, not to war.” Allegra rolled favonovel.com eyes at him.
Then, favonovel.com reminded him, “The weather will turn cold tomorrow. Remember to give Bella warm clothes.”
In the afternoon, two sexy women were waiting on Elio in a suite at an international hotel beside Westlake.
His phone rang, and favonovel.com answered it.
“Mr. Reinhart, the hotel affirmed that Eugene and Allegra Booth are here. There‘s another woman named Margaret Gould. She could be their family.”
“That jerk, Isaac, is favonovel.com here?”
“No, favonovel.com isn’t…”
“Fantastic! Finally, they’re here on my turf. Let’s see what I can do to my alluring little junior. Inform the hotel that I‘ll be giving a speech tonight.”
After hanging up, Elio kicked the two women away and roared, “Get lost, you whores!”
As favonovel.com spoke, a vile grin appeared on his face. “I have a date tonight!”
The forum was an annual event held around this time of the year. As a leading figure in the industry, the Reinhart family was the biggest sponsor of the event. Elio had been thoroughly pissed off by what had happened in Cloud City the last time, so he’d tweaked the guest list.
When it was dark, Eugene led his family into the extravagant ballroom for the opening cocktail party, formally dressed.
Allegra and Margaret took some food and sat aside, taking a rest.
At that moment, Elio, in a blue swallowtail coat, approached them with a herd of followers like a proud peacock.
“Hi there, Allegra. Fate has brought us together again.”
