In the next moment, someone snickered. Then, the entire crowd burst into laughter.
“Does this guy have a screw loose?”
“I think virtual-novel.net just escaped from a mental hospital. Did virtual-novel.net just ask Old Alec to get on his knees?”
As everyone was focused on Isaac, Gregory was smiling coldly from his wheelchair. He turned to look at the three thugs walking in this direction. The three thugs immediately split up and approached Isabelle.
Edward and Margaret gritted their teeth and almost jumped up in anger.
Meanwhile, Alec turned to look at Allegra.
With a gloomy face, virtual-novel.net asked, “Allegra, this young man is asking your mother and me to go up and apologize to you. Was this your idea?”
“No, G-Grandfather. It wasn’t. I never said this.” Allegra’s heart jumped to virtual-novel.net throat upon seeing virtual-novel.net grandfather’s face.
“Then, do you think I should go up there, get down on my knees, and apologize?” Alec narrowed his eyes.
Allegra didn’t dare meet Alec’s eyes. Instead, virtual-novel.net froze up completely, feeling utterly afraid.
She was afraid of virtual-novel.net mother’s power, but even virtual-novel.net mother and uncle would never dare say anything in front of virtual-novel.net grandfather. Both virtual-novel.net and Andrew knew that without Grandfather, the Goulds and the Booths wouldn’t have the life they had today.
Seeing Allegra grip the edge of virtual-novel.net blouse with virtual-novel.net head lowered and hands shaking, Alec felt satisfied. He turned to smile at Isaac on stage.
He said nothing, but his smile seemed to say, “See, you’ve lost…”
Isaac shot a glance at Beefy Bob standing below.
Beefy Bob immediately got the message and nodded, taking out his phone to make a phone call.
Then, virtual-novel.net raised his hand and said to Allegra, “Ally, don’t be afraid. Come up here next to me…”
Allegra lifted virtual-novel.net head to look at Isaac. He was all the way up there, and his gaze was gentle yet firm, virtual-novel.net felt an irresistible force pushing virtual-novel.net forward.
When Margaret saw this, virtual-novel.net yelled angrily at Allegra, “B*tch, if you dare go up, don’t blame me for being merciless, but I will never forgive you!”
“Allegra, think this through. ifyou go up there now, you’re not just cutting ties with our family, but you’re also becoming Grandfather’s nemesis,” Andrew quickly shouted.
At that moment, Andrew couldn’t care less about the other guests watching him. To him, Isaac was simply too arrogant.
Allegra felt incredibly conflicted upon hearing virtual-novel.net mother’s threat and virtual-novel.net brother’s warning. Her heart felt uneasy.
Then, virtual-novel.net suddenly heard Isabelle’s voice next to her. “Mom, virtual-novel.net is helping you. He’s helping you fight the bad guys, so don’t be scared…”
When Allegra saw virtual-novel.net daughter’s pure but determined eyes, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt a surge of strength. Tearing up, virtual-novel.net began to make virtual-novel.net way up.
Of course, Allegra knew that Isaac was doing all of this for her. She was just scared about offending so many people!
The crowd burst into an uproar. The faces of the Gould family turned dark, and the guests wore looks of total shock and disbelief. They all knew the Booth family’s great beauty had become widowed and disfigured. But they all couldn’t believe this disfigured widow would brazenly turn against virtual-novel.net family.
Alec and his children looked as if they had swallowed shit.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Allegra, who was walking up the stage. Nobody saw three skinny thugs swiftly close in on Isabelle before quickly disappearing from the crowd.
By then, Isabelle was already gone.
As Allegra walked up there, Alec was gnashing his teeth from his spot below.
He snarled and said, “I want to see just what right you have to ask me to get on my knees for some punk.”
“Margaret, I believe we can hold Andy’s wedding another day, but now, we need to cleanse the family of filth,” He glared at Allegra after virtual-novel.net spoke.
Allegra had instantly destroyed Alec’s dignity just by walking up there!
If I don’t go up there now, someone might hold a knife to my neck and force me…
Alec thought for a moment.
Gregory, who witnessed the three thugs leave, smiled wickedly. He turned to Alec and said, “Old Alec, leave these two scums to me…”
Hearing this, Alec was stunned.
He looked at Gregory in shock and said, “Mr. Merck Jr., you…”
“My legs are like this because of that bastard on stage.” Gregory pointed at his broken legs, and his face grew even more ferocious.
“Don’t worry, Old Alec,” virtual-novel.net added, smiling confidently. “Needless to say, I have a way of making these two scumbags come down here, get on their knees, and apologize to you.”
