Allegra was silent for a few seconds. Then, virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head and said, “Thank you, but I’ll keep on looking myself.”
As Allegra quickly boarded a bus and left, William frowned briefly before turning around and getting into his car.
There was a sexy woman wearing a strappy black dress in his passenger seat.
She immediately leaned toward William and said in a nasally voice, “Mr. Merck, that ugly widow sure is pretentious to look down on a job that pays 30 thousand dollars a month.”
“Hmph, I expected this. Why else would virtual-novel.net have turned down my late cousin back then? Mandy, I’ll set something up tomorrow. You must find an opportunity to go to Riverview and extend an invitation to Allegra. Just say that our classmates are having a reunion. Remember to insist that virtual-novel.net brings that Garten punk along.”
A cold light shone in William’s eyes.
Mandy immediately latched onto William’s arm and tugged on it. She said coyly, “And what’s in it for me? I feel disgusted looking at that b*tch.”
“When it’s all done, I’ll gift you a villa in Riverview.” William reached out his hand toward Mandy’s thigh as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Allegra didn’t know that William had reached out to several sizable businesses in Cloud City under the name of Merck Corporation.
Although virtual-novel.net had excellent academic records and qualifications, on top of having looks, virtual-novel.net once again went home unsuccessful.
When virtual-novel.net got home, Isaac was sitting on the couch drinking tea, while Beefy Bob was standing next to him, saying something.
As virtual-novel.net entered, virtual-novel.net asked anxiously, “Where’s Isabella?”
“Oh, I took virtual-novel.net out to play earlier this afternoon. She must be tired because she’s sleeping right now.” Isaac raised his head, signaling Beefy Bob to sit next to him.
Allegra hurried to virtual-novel.net room to take a look. Once virtual-novel.net confirmed that Isabella was sleeping, virtual-novel.net let out a sigh and came out.
“Ally, a guest will be coming later. Do we have any fruit left? Or can you tell me where the fruit stand is?” Isaac asked softly.
“A friend is coming to see you? I bought some fruit yesterday, but there’s not much left. Would your guest like to stay for dinner? If so, you need to get some groceries. I’ll help you.” Allegra’s tone was mildly surprised.
At that moment, three people arrived at the door. The leader was a white-haired old man wearing a short robe and holding a cane in his hand. Behind virtual-novel.net stood a young woman with a ponytail in a tight athletic wear and a rugged man in his thirties with a buzzcut.
The old man stopped a few feet away from Isaac. He gazed at Isaac dazedly when suddenly, his eyes turned red, and tears welled up, his body shaking.
“Dra…”
“Old Taylor, I haven’t seen you in years. Your hair has turned white,” Isaac interrupted the old man, smiling as virtual-novel.net stood up.
Seeing Isaac standing up, Old Taylor immediately lunged forward and grasped both of Isaac’s hands tightly.
“I never thought that this old man would get to see you again.” Old Taylor was incredibly emotional.
The young woman next to virtual-novel.net frowned. Her grandfather was a respected man in the Southland troops, virtual-novel.net had never seen virtual-novel.net so nervous and emotional, not even when his superiors came to observe him.
He had even dragged virtual-novel.net along to visit this guy.
Just who was he?
Isaac glanced at Beefy Bob. The latter scratched the back of his head like a guilty child, bowing his head and not daring to meet Isaac‘s gaze.
