“Yes… The Gould family is comprised of trash human beings. They took Allegra’s 60 million dollars to start a business, but they only gave virtual-novel.net the logistics manager position. Allegra is fuming right now,” Eugene said, gnashing his teeth.
Ever since that incident, a rift had formed between virtual-novel.net and Margaret. As for the Gould family, virtual-novel.net had never liked them anyway.
Isaac went to the bedroom upstairs.
When virtual-novel.net pushed open the door, virtual-novel.net saw Allegra crying on the bed.
“Ally, I know what happened. Don’t be sad. When your mother is back, I’ll talk to her.” Isaac wanted to pat Allegra on the shoulder, but virtual-novel.net stopped himself halfway.
Allegra turned around, face streaked with tears. “What’s the point? My uncle is the legal representative. Any changes to the legal representative or upper management require his approval signature. I should have listened to you…”
She began to sob even harder.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net phone began to buzz next to her.
When virtual-novel.net saw Margaret’s number, virtual-novel.net dried virtual-novel.net tears and put the phone to virtual-novel.net ear.
“Allegra, are you home yet? Your uncle wants to have dinner at the Hibiscus Pavilion tonight to celebrate the launch of our new company. Why don’t you join us?”
Allegra wanted to reject, but Isaac signaled for virtual-novel.net to accept.
After hanging up the phone, Allegra looked at Isaac and said, “Why did you ask me to agree to the dinner? There’s no point to such meals.”
“If you don’t try, how would you know it’s pointless?” Isaac smiled slightly.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Isaac and Allegra stopped their car in front of the Hibiscus Pavilion.
Seeing the extravagant and old building in front of her, Allegra felt as if virtual-novel.net was being ridiculed.
Eating at a place like this could cost up to thousands of dollars. The Goulds had never been to places like this before, but now, they had the audacity to come here and have a feast in the name of a company dinner, using the money virtual-novel.net had borrowed.
The door to the private room opened. Inside, Edward, Andrew, and the others were engaged in an enthusiastic conversation. Among them, there were a few unfamiliar faces.
“Hey, our logistics manager is here. I thought you… Garten, what are you doing here?” Willow’s grin fell instantly the moment virtual-novel.net saw Isaac.
“Why do you think? It’s obviously because virtual-novel.net thinks my dear niece has been wronged, so he’s here to fight for her.” A mocking look flickered in Edward’s eyes.
Seeing how Edward acted as if virtual-novel.net had nothing to fear, Isaac lit a cigarette.
He gestured for Allegra to sit before taking the seat beside hers. Then, virtual-novel.net said to Margaret, “Don’t you think you’re being too unfair? Ally’s the one who took the loan, but you are the ones controlling the company. How is that justified?”
“Haha, so what if it’s unfair? I’m the legal representative now. Every single transaction requires a nod of approval from me.” Edward burst into laughter.
Pissed off, Allegra bit down on virtual-novel.net lip harshly and clenched virtual-novel.net fists so hard that they began to shake.
Upon seeing this, Isaac stood, looked at Edward, and said, “Edward, your skin is really thicker than a brick wall. I guess I haven’t beaten you enough…”
“Punk, you wouldn’t dare get physical here! This is the Hibiscus Pavilion, Cloud City’s strongest fortress. If you cause any trouble here, I’ll have someone kill you,” a bald man sitting at the side yelled, standing up and pointing at Isaac.
Edward laughed again. “The Hibiscus Pavilion has already changed hands. The owner is someone called Mr. Brooks, and my friend here is his good friend. Isaac, if you cause…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish speaking, Isaac suddenly grabbed a porcelain bowl in front of virtual-novel.net and hurled it at Edward’s head.
There was the sound of porcelain breaking. The bowl hit Edward squarely in the forehead, shattering into pieces and falling to the floor.
Blood poured from Edward’s forehead, and virtual-novel.net was stupefied. In the next second, virtual-novel.net covered his forehead and screamed intensely.
“Let me clarify that for you… I can beat people up anywhere I want,” Isaac said before sitting back down.
Margaret immediately got to virtual-novel.net feet. She urged the bald man anxiously, “Joe, call Mr. Brooks now. How dare this asshole start a fight here? Call Mr. Brooks over to kill him!”
