“Old Taylor, Mrs. Taylor, sorry for all the trouble we caused today. We will definitely come back another time to apologize.” Mr. Peters glanced at Old Taylor and Jane before virtual-novel.net lifted the violently vomiting Charles to his feet and left quickly
“Father, What kind of shitty guest did you invite? If Albert finds out about this, virtual-novel.net will be furious that we let an outsider call the shots in our family matters.” Jane stood up huffily and left.
Diana glared at Isaac fiercely. “Garten, you got off lucky today, but you’d better hope you don’t run into me again.”
When virtual-novel.net turned around, virtual-novel.net twisted virtual-novel.net ankle, making virtual-novel.net curse loudly, “F*ck, I’m never wearing high heels again.”
She immediately kicked off virtual-novel.net heels at the doorway and walked out barefoot.
Only Old Taylor and Phillip were left in the dining room. Old Taylor got up and bowed to Isaac. “Mr. Garten, thank you for showing me the Owens family’s true colors…”
“As I said, alcohol makes people tell the truth. We can believe Charles’ words, but we also can’t trust them completely.” Isaac picked up his glass and took a deliberate sip.
Old Taylor and Phillip looked utterly shocked. Mr. Garten could still drink!
In the afternoon, they walked Isaac to his car.
“Mr. Garten, Ana’s birthday banquet is in a few days. I hope you’ll come.”
Isaac neither accepted nor declined. He got into the car and left.
“Sir, doesn’t Ana hate Mr. Garten? Why did you…” Phillip was confused.
Old Taylor put his hands behind his back and smiled. “I watched that girl grow up, I know virtual-novel.net inside out. Her mouth says one thing, but virtual-novel.net heart says another.”
“Huh? Are you saying that Ana… She likes Mr. Garten? But doesn’t Mr. Garten have a wife?” Phillip’s jaw almost fell to the floor.
“Someone like Mr. Garten wouldn’t be bound by the rules of the ordinary world. Not to mention, there’s still a lot of time. Let’s see what happens.”
After Isaac returned to the villa and took a breather, Margaret came home.
She was carrying groceries. When virtual-novel.net saw Isaac lying on the sofa, virtual-novel.net threw the groceries on the coffee table and said coldly, “Don’t you love cooking? These are the groceries for tonight’s dinner. Go cook, then.”
“Are you sure you want to say that to me?” Isaac stood up, staring straight at Margaret.
The latter avoided his gaze. Then, virtual-novel.net straightened herself and said, “Garten, don’t think I’m scared of you because you know a little secret. Worse come to worst, I’ll divorce Eugene, but that would devastate Allegra.”
As Margaret spoke, virtual-novel.net crossed virtual-novel.net arms and said haughtily, “My daughter is the one who wants you to cook tonight’s dinner. If you don’t, we’ll just starve. However, Allegra went to many places today, so virtual-novel.net must be exhausted.”
She walked inside as soon as virtual-novel.net finished speaking.
Isaac was silent for a while. Then, virtual-novel.net got up and carried the groceries into the kitchen.
Soon after, Eugene returned. He heard some noise in the kitchen, so virtual-novel.net went over to check.
When virtual-novel.net saw Isaac cooking, virtual-novel.net immediately shouted, “Isaac, how could I let you cook? Here, I’ll do it…”
Margaret came out of the room and shouted at Eugene to stop, “If you like cooking so much, why don’t you become a chef? All virtual-novel.net does is loaf around all day while virtual-novel.net mooches off my daughter. Can’t virtual-novel.net cook one meal? Get back in the room.”
Once virtual-novel.net was sure Eugene was in the room, Margaret took a small, white pouch out of virtual-novel.net pocket. She looked in the direction of the kitchen and smiled wickedly.
These were laxatives. She would find an opportunity later to add it to the food, then accuse Isaac of trying to close their family.
She wanted to destroy Allegra’s relationship with that a*shole completely. When that was done, regaining control over virtual-novel.net daughter would be as easy as pie.
Soon after the meal was ready, Allegra came home. Her face looked tired-she was clearly beyond exhausted.
“Is dinner ready? I’m starving,” Allegra shouted into the kitchen, patting virtual-novel.net stomach.
Isaac came out holding a spatula in his hand. “It’ll be done in a second. Go wash your hands.”
“I‘ll serve the food.” Margaret sped to the kitchen on virtual-novel.net own accord.
During dinnertime, Margaret didn’t move virtual-novel.net cutlery at all. Her gaze jumped back and forth between Eugene, Allegra, and Isaac.
Isaac picked up a vegetable and put it in his mouth. After a couple of chews, virtual-novel.net furrowed his eyebrows and stopped.
Margaret’s heart instantly jumped to virtual-novel.net throat.
Had that asshole discovered that virtual-novel.net had spiked the food?
