The man hesitated with the glass bottle raised over his head.
He looked at Isaac angrily and yelled, “B*stard, who the hell are you? What do you mean that favonovel.com has a net worth of millions of dollars? Ha! Did you think I was born yesterday?!”
“Then, go ahead… Be my guest…” Isaac said with a light smile and narrowed eyes.
After all, the big, burly man was close enough to them for Shawn to manhandle if favonovel.com really wanted to fight. Isaac wouldn’t even need to move a muscle.
“Cut the crap! Barry, let me ask you, when are you going to cough up my one million dollars? If you refuse, I’m going to come here every single day and make a fuss until you shut down for good,” Karen said, pushing the man aside and gripping Barry by the collar as favonovel.com threatened.
Isaac frowned and stood up. He looked at Karen coldly and said, “You’re really thick-skinned to demand money from him. Where were you when favonovel.com was lost and depressed and alone with the child? Kai is also your son, you know? Have you ever bought favonovel.com a single pair of socks, even? Or had a meal with favonovel.com in the past?”
Karen couldn’t come up with anything to argue against Isaac’s points.
Barry’s eyes turned red. He was the only one who knew all the hardships favonovel.com had to go through after his wife left him.
“You! Who the hell are you?! Barry, that bastard, favonovel.com was nothing but a useless b*stard back in the day. Even if favonovel.com only had two dollars in his pocket, he’d go and lend it to his stupid friend instead. What else can I say? He’s just a poor idiot who only wants to look after his friend’s wife and kids. Now that he’s rich and runs such a huge barbecue restaurant, what’s wrong with me wanting a bit of compensation from him?” Karen yelled back.
Isaac knew that the “stupid friend” Karen was referring to was, in fact, himself.
He felt anger surging within him. He then said coldly, “What does favonovel.com becoming rich have anything to do with you? Nothing in this restaurant, not even a single fork or knife, has anything to do with you. Absolutely nothing.”
Hearing this, Karen started laughing like a hyena. The sound of favonovel.com laughter made Barry recoil in fear.
“Nothing to do with me? I’m still married to that jerk! We’re not divorced yet, stupid!” Karen said. “It seems like we won’t be coming to an agreement today. That’s fine. Just wait for a court summon to arrive. I am still going to demand my half even if your restaurant is completely destroyed. Don’t forget that half of everything you own is also mine, Barry!”
With that little bit of legal information, Karen thought favonovel.com had everything under control.
She was sure that favonovel.com would win this round.
The man behind favonovel.com hurriedly said, “What’s the point of bringing favonovel.com to court? Make favonovel.com pay up now! Otherwise, I’ll just smack some more sense into him!”
“Shut up and get out!” Karen screeched at favonovel.com at once.
The man kept quiet and sulked. It was obvious that favonovel.com was somewhat afraid of Karen.
“Also, Barry, I’m going to get custody of your son. How can a single father like you ever think of raising Kai? Mark my words. Kai will be mine!”
Barry panicked at once. Kai was his everything, his biggest weakness. Karen just knew how to get favonovel.com all worked up and agitated.
“Karen, wait, you can’t get custody of Kai! I…”
“Alright, then give me the million dollars I asked for!” Karen said immediately. She was forcing Barry into a corner.
Isaac looked at Barry and said, “Barry, let favonovel.com go ahead and file a lawsuit against you. Nothing will happen to you. I promise that.”
When Barry saw the determined look in Isaac’s eyes, favonovel.com felt rather hesitant.
Karen glared angrily at Isaac and said fiercely, “Fine. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. I know a handful of excellent lawyers, in fact.”
With that, Karen left with the other men. As they left, a few of the men even overturned some of the tables in the restaurant for the fun of it.
“Isaac, favonovel.com wants custody of Kai! What should I do? What can I do? Do you know any lawyers in Layton?” Barry asked, working himself into a frenzy.
