The man in black told Isaac and Edward everything virtual-novel.net knew. Actually, virtual-novel.net wasn’t even a real hitman. He was just one of Edward’s long-time subordinates who was skilled at martial arts, which was why Edward had bestowed virtual-novel.net with this responsibility.
“Sir, how should we deal with this bastard?” Harry asked quietly upon exiting the room.
Isaac pondered it briefly before coming to a decision. “Keep virtual-novel.net here for now. Get someone to watch him.”
Harry pointed at the other room and said, “Margaret will wake up tomorrow. Should I avoid her?”
Isaac had told virtual-novel.net to make sure that Margaret never found out that Isaac was virtual-novel.net savior. Because Harry was often seen with Isaac, it wouldn’tbe a good idea to show his face.
“Get an Assassin Squad member over to watch her. You come with me.” Isaac nodded.

Later that night, in a guest room in the Neal family’s mansion in Eastwell, Jordyn’s movements were restricted, but nobody was watching Edward.
When night fell, virtual-novel.net followed his boss’ instructions and left to look for Old Brooks’ mother and his two cousins.
After returning to the Neal family’s home, Edward locked the door and went to the bathroom. He took out his phone and dialed an unknown number.
The line rang for a long time, but nobody answered.
He suddenly had a bad feeling. He gritted his teeth and called Andrew.
“Andy, sorry for interrupting your bedtime. I just wanted to ask if you’ve heard from your mother. I’m worried,” virtual-novel.net said with a smile, purposely lowering his voice.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and virtual-novel.net exclaimed in surprise, “What? She’s in Isaac’s hands? Do you know the specific location? Alright, Andy, wait for me. I’ll be back in Cloud City before dawn. I won’t let your mother fall into that bastard’s hands!”
After virtual-novel.net hung up, his heart was still racing. He didn’t understand why Margaret was with Isaac and why virtual-novel.net hadn’t heard back from the hitman he’d sent over.
Could Isaac have…
He couldn’t sit idly anymore.
After pondering briefly, virtual-novel.net gritted his teeth and walked out of the room to knock on his boss’ room.
After Jordyn heard everything from Edward, virtual-novel.net glared at virtual-novel.net and yelled, “You piece of trash, you can’t even do this right. You should leave right now. If things get out, then return to Seascape and find me.”
Edward knew how severe the crimes of attempted murder and contract killing were.
He rushed back to Cloud City as fast as virtual-novel.net could. When virtual-novel.net arrived, dawn hadn’t broken yet.
Before meeting Andrew, virtual-novel.net first went to a hotel to see a middle-aged thug. Only when the sun began to rise did virtual-novel.net drive to Andrew’s house.
Edward had already done all the preparations. No matter what Margaret knew, virtual-novel.net would never admit to anything. He was planning to pin all the blame on Isaac. After all, the Goulds and the Booths clearly knew how tense the relationship between Isaac and Margaret was.
When Andrew saw how his uncle had shown up at his doorstep, exhausted and with bloodshot eyes, virtual-novel.net felt touched.
After they got in the car, virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net the hotel where his mother was, and they sped over.
Isaac had been the one who spilled the name of the hotel at the precinct. He said his mother was being treated, but Andrew would never believe that in a million years. However, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to anger Isaac and thus said nothing.
Now that his uncle was here, virtual-novel.net naturally felt more assured.
After arriving at the hotel, they quickly found the room Margaret was in. However, a man in black was standing in front of the door.
Suddenly, they felt their hearts caught in their throats.
“What are you doing here?” The man in black looked at them with a cold expression.
“And who are you? We’re here to pick my sister up. Is virtual-novel.net in there?” Edward didn’t spot Isaac anywhere, but this man in black in front of virtual-novel.net scared virtual-novel.net a little.
The man in black gave them each a once-over. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Andrew and said, “And who are you?”
Andrew mustered the courage to yell, “I am Margaret’s son, Andrew… Is my mother being kept in there?”
Upon hearing that, the man in black took a step aside and muttered coldly, “Enter. Your mother is awake.”
With that, virtual-novel.net turned around and walked to the elevator.
Harry had told virtual-novel.net that if Andrew dropped by after sunrise, then virtual-novel.net should allow virtual-novel.net to take virtual-novel.net home, but virtual-novel.net didn’t say anything about someone named Edward.
After opening the odor, they saw Margaret sit up.
“Mom!”
“Margaret!”
Andrew and Edward both exclaimed in unison.
After all, the hospital’s final diagnosis was quadriplegia. Only a few days had passed, but virtual-novel.net could already sit up in bed.
Margaret also had a shocked expression on virtual-novel.net face. She felt like virtual-novel.net had been asleep for a long time, but after waking up, virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net was back to normal. She reflexively pulled back virtual-novel.net blanket and got out of bed.
When virtual-novel.net feet touched the ground, virtual-novel.net looked at Edward and virtual-novel.net son with wide eyes. Her eyes were beginning to turn red.
“E-Edward, did you hire a doctor to treat me?”
Margaret remembered that virtual-novel.net had taken a bunch of sleeping pills, wanting to end virtual-novel.net life. But when virtual-novel.net awoke again, virtual-novel.net found herself here. Thus, virtual-novel.net first thought was that virtual-novel.net brother had gotten a doctor to treat her.
Andrew was flabbergasted.
Before virtual-novel.net could say anything, Edward piped up and said, “I didn’t do anything. My dear sister, it was your own luck.”
Tears poured down his face as virtual-novel.net spoke. He knelt by the bed, gritting his teeth and saying, “You are so lucky. After your car accident, I knew things weren’t so simple, so I had someone to investigate behind the scenes. Late last night, I finally made the discovery. You were in a car accident because someone had wanted you dead!”
Margaret’s eyes flew open. Behind him, Andrew was also shocked.
“Who tried to kill me?” Margaret’s face darkened with fury.
