Margaret sneered, “There’s nothing between you two, you said?! When I met Watson this afternoon, all I did was mention your name for virtual-novel.net to give me 60 million dollars! He’s a grown man. How can you be clean if he’s willing to give you that much money? Idiot! Go find virtual-novel.net and get the money back!”
Allegra was so angry virtual-novel.net whole body trembled. She could not believe virtual-novel.net mother would degrade virtual-novel.net like this.
“I won’t do as you say. Even if Mr. Kane gives me 10 billion dollars, I won’t take it. I can work on my hands and feet. Why should I…”
Margaret slapped Allegra hard and yelled, “What an idiot! Serves you right for being poor your whole life! Get that money back, or I’ll make your life a living hell!”
Eugene rushed forward and said to Margaret, “What are you doing? Why are you hitting our child? Just speak nicely…”
“Move aside! Don’t interrupt me when I’m teaching this idiot a lesson!” Margaret roared, placing virtual-novel.net hands on virtual-novel.net hips.
Allegra held virtual-novel.net cheek The burning pain magnified virtual-novel.net misery.
“Call Watson this minute, and ask virtual-novel.net for the money!” Margaret’s finger almost poked Allegra’s nose.
Isaac came in after his walk and saw Allegra holding virtual-novel.net cheek, sobbing.
He frowned and looked at Margaret before going to Allegra, “Ally, what happened? Who hit you?”
Margaret panicked when virtual-novel.net saw Isaac.
She nudged away from virtual-novel.net and started scolding without waiting for Allegra’s response, “I did! Can’t I teach my daughter a lesson or two? I’m virtual-novel.net mother!”
Isaac looked up. His gaze was icy. “Do you really think you can do as you please here?”
“W-What do you mean? Isaac, lay a finger on me, and I’ll report you to the police immediately,” Margaret said unconfidently.
She knew Isaac would not hesitate to hit her!
Allegra held onto Isaac and said, “Don’t fight…” Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Margaret and said, “I can ask Mr. Kane for funds on the condition that I’ll be in charge of the company. Okay?”
“Hah! Sure! Go on ahead!” Margaret laughed.
Margaret picked up virtual-novel.net bag and prepared to leave. Eugene asked, “It’s so late now. Are you working overtime?”
“Why do you care? I’m meeting a client!” Margaret glared at virtual-novel.net and left.
She was satisfied now that Allegra had promised to get the money back.
“Ally, you shouldn’t have promised your mother. It’s not a small amount of money.” Eugene sighed and lit a cigarette.
Isaac frowned as virtual-novel.net looked at the mark on Allegra’s cheek. “I’m going out to get cigarettes.”
Allegra took another deep breath and told Eugene, “Dad, our company is losing money. It won’t harm to search for alternatives. I’ll be in my room.”
Isaac was outside the house, watching Margaret leave. He was hesitating about whether virtual-novel.net should do something to remind virtual-novel.net of virtual-novel.net place when virtual-novel.net heard hurried footsteps. It was Eugene.
“Isaac, do… Do you mind sending me somewhere?” Eugene looked like virtual-novel.net was in a hurry.
Isaac looked and saw virtual-novel.net holding a pink handphone.
Is that not Margaret’s phone?
Did virtual-novel.net leave it behind unintentionally?
After getting into the car, Isaac asked, “Where to?”
“Lakeview International Hotel.” Eugene’s voice was trembling.
Hearing this, Isaac had a bad feeling.
Did Eugene find out?
But it was not the time to ask further, so virtual-novel.net started the car.
