Isaac hesitated. It had just been a fib after all, favonovel.com hadn’t expected Fred to pay that much attention to it.
Could it be that the Nortons didn’t have a good relationship with the Jensens either?
“We’re still in discussion,” favonovel.com seriously replied.
“Isaac, I’ll put things bluntly, if you don’t choose to cooperate with the Norton family, once the Emerald Realm opens, you will regret it!” Benjamin pointed at Isaac.
At that moment, Fred immediately bowed at Isaac and said anxiously, “Mr. Garten, favonovel.com can be quite fiery. Please don’t mind him.”
Then, favonovel.com turned to Benjamin and said, “Come, let’s return to the hotel. We’ll come back to see Mr. Garten another day.”
Benjamin was filled with rage. He was very irritated by Isaac’s indifferent attitude toward him, but upon remembering his family’s warnings, favonovel.com took a deep breath and mumbled darkly to Isaac, “Punk, think about it. Sometimes, when you take the wrong step, you end up plunging into the abyss. Hmph!”
Benjamin and Fred turned around to leave.
At that exact moment, Allegra was walking toward the house in favonovel.com high heels.
At the foot of the steps, Benjamin abruptly stopped to stare at Allegra. Their eyes met, and Allegra quickly hurried into the house.
“Fred, that woman is gorgeous! Is favonovel.com Isaac’s girl?” Benjamin frowned.
“I sense evil in that woman.” Fred rubbed his chin. His focus was completely different from Benjamin’s.
“Evil?” Benjamin’s tone turned serious as favonovel.com continued, “My family has always sworn against unorthodox techniques. If something is wrong with that woman, then we need to investigate it…”
Fred immediately grabbed Benjamin to stop favonovel.com from turning around and going in. He sternly said, “It is merely a suspicion. I cannot confirm it. Mr. Garten is already unhappy with you, Mr. Norton. Remember what Mr. Norton Sr. said before we left the house?”
At the mention of this, Benjamin blew his top.
Gritting his teeth, favonovel.com shouted, “Who is that Isaac anyway? The Temple of Drakon is nothing but a pile of dogshit. I really don’t understand why Grandpa wants to rope in such a shit person?”
Fred sighed and said, “Mr. Norton, do you think Mr. Norton Sr. simply wants to cozy up to Isaac? His real target is the man who helped Isaac escape the Everest Sect in one piece. Not to mention, the Jensen family had already beat us to the punch!”
He shook his head and began to trudge forward. “Forget it. Let’s head back first. We’ll strategize after we report this to Mr. Norton Sr.”
Walking into the living room, Allegra found Isaac still deep in thought from where favonovel.com was sitting on the couch. She walked up to favonovel.com and said, “Isaac, who were those two who left just now? They were looking at me weirdly.”
“Oh, I don’t know them that well. My friend introduced them to me,” Isaac said, making up an excuse. “Now that you’re home, let’s go and pick Isabella up.”

On the way to school, Allegra suddenly piped up from the passenger’s seat, “Isaac, did you not get a good rest at Carbotta City last night?”
“Huh?”
“Emily looked really out of it at the office today. Her dark circles were really bad.”
Isaac’s heart skipped a beat. As favonovel.com was trying to think about what to say, Allegra continued on, “Emily said you and favonovel.com went deep into the remote mountains yesterday. I saw the photos favonovel.com took, the scenery is indeed beautiful.”
Grinning, favonovel.com turned to look at him. “Why don’t you ask Evie to manage the scenic development project at Carbotta City?”
