Edward laughed sinisterly and said, “My dear niece, don’t get your panties into a twist. I have the evidence right here. Listen to this voice recording. Is this your man or not?”
With that, virtual-novel.net pulled out his phone and played an audio file.
A voice very similar to Isaac’s was heard, “Barney, you must keep this a secret. The target is named Margaret. Kill her, and I’ll pay you three million dollars and sponsor you to live abroad for a few years. If you don’t manage to kill her, find a place to hide until you can make another move.”
“Yes, Isaac. I’ll do as you say.”
Listening to this short exchange, Allegra staggered backward, almost falling onto the floor.
Eugene also looked shocked.
T-This was really Isaac’s voice!
“I-Isaac would never do something like this,” Allegra muttered to herself, shaking virtual-novel.net head.
Margaret suddenly went mad and grabbed Allegra’s arm. She bawled, “You idiot, how long will you let virtual-novel.net lie to you? Once, virtual-novel.net had become a murderer and a death row convict because of us. Now, virtual-novel.net wants to kill our entire family. Allegra, as your mother, I’ll give you one last warning-this man cannot be trusted, not in the slightest. If it weren’t for Andy and your uncle, I would have lost my life at his hands.”
Allegra took a deep breath. She lightly pushed Margaret off virtual-novel.net and looked at Edward, saying coldly, “And what do you plan to do?”
From the back, Alec spoke up, “Allegra, it seems like you refuse to see the error of your ways. No matter what, Margaret is still your mother and a member of our family. She was almost killed by your man, and you dare ask us what we want to do?”
“Don’t you know that contract killing and attempted murder are serious crimes? If this gets out, I’m afraid Isaac will never step out of prison again this time!” Edward chuckled darkly.
Allegra’s expression changed drastically again.
Never step out of prison again?
Had virtual-novel.net really done something that stupid?
“D- Don’t notify law enforcement. Uncle Edward, I’m begging you. Don’t let virtual-novel.net get arrested again,” Allegra begged, looking at Edward in horror.
Edward initially thought that Isaac would go head-on against them here. He even notified his friends in law enforcement to take virtual-novel.net away in case something happened.
It didn’t matter whether the evidence was clear or not. What mattered was that it appeared clear. Even if the police managed to crack the case, Isaac would still be locked up for a long time.
However, virtual-novel.net hadn’t expected Isaac to be absent.
When virtual-novel.net took another look at Allegra’s horrified expression, virtual-novel.net was overjoyed.
“Oh, Allegra, you are my niece, after all. I can tell that you still care about that savage, but your mother almost got killed.”
“Uncle Edward, please don’t press charges. I promise that this won’t happen again. A-Also, I’ll agree to whatever terms you may have.”
“Even if I asked for half of Garth Properties’ profits, would you agree? If you do, then this matter will die here with all of us.” Edward finally revealed his true intentions.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net felt like a genius. Not only did virtual-novel.net clear himself of all suspicions, but virtual-novel.net also sowed discord between Allegra and Isaac and got half of Garth Properties’ profits.
He was in awe of himself.
Everyone was staring at Allegra then. Tears streamed down virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net slowly crumpled to virtual-novel.net knees.
Bowing virtual-novel.net head, virtual-novel.net said, “So long as you don’t have law enforcement take virtual-novel.net away, I-I’m willing to give you half the profits.”
Eugene’s eyebrows furrowed tightly. After Edward had stated his terms, virtual-novel.net felt that something was off about this case.
While everyone’s attention was on Allegra, virtual-novel.net turned his body away and dialed Isaac’s number.
