Once again, he turned away, ready to leave.

But Annis swiftly caught up with him, determined not to let him escape. He issued a warning. "If you dare to follow me, I'll call the police!" Annis froze in her tracks, considering her next move.

Isaac had always been cold and unyielding, making it nearly impossible to extract any information from him. However, Alick appeared more approachable and easier to connect with.

With that, she made up her mind to focus on Alick.

With that realization, Annis devised a cunning plan, confident that she had stumbled upon a promising approach.

Annis, fueled by her newfound idea, exuded a newfound confidence that breathed life into her. As a result, she ceased her incessant pestering of Alick, leaving him free from her clutches.

With a smile on her face, Annis clasped her hands behind her back and departed.

Today had yielded tremendous gains for her, filling her with a sense of accomplishment .

Finally, the key point had revealed itself to her, unlocking a world of possibilities!

Alick was not that good.

Meanwhile, Alick, as he walked, couldn't shake off the nagging fear that Annis might resume her pestering. He constantly glanced over his shoulder, keeping a wary eye for any signs of her approaching.

Being plagued by her presence looked like an impending disaster.

Later in the evening, Camila, posing as Dr. Jane, placed a call to him. "This is Dr. Jane, ready to administer physical therapy for the patient. Do you have a moment?" Camila inquired.

Alick promptly responded, "Yes, we reside in room 909 at the Owston Motel."

Camila nodded her head.

After hanging up, she stood before the mirror, scrutinizing her makeup. Only when she was certain of its flawlessness would she venture out. In the Owston Motel.

Alick entered Isaac's room and reported, “Mr. Johnston, Dr. Jane wilt be arriving soon to administer your physical therapy."

Seated by the French window, Isaac rested on the sofa with his laptop resting on his lap. As he finished tending to his emails, he nonchalantly closed the device and set it aside. Leaning back, he pinched the nose bridge, betraying a hint of fatigue.

Unaware of Isaac's dealings with the Joviek family, Alick, having been left behind because of Annis, asked eagerly, “Have you succeeded?" Isaac, in his usual detached manner, replied, "Almost there." Although he held damning information against them, using it as a threat from the start wouldn't yield the desired outcome.

Both sides would suffer losses in the ensuing battle, rendering it ineffective.

As shrewd businessmen, they both sought to maximize their profits. Isaac had exhausted every tactic.

It afforded him full control over everything.

It seemed more advantageous to establish a relationship, collaborating for greater mutual benefits rather than offending the other party.

"Is everything proceeding as expected?" Alick was surprised.

Isaac cast a glance at him before responding, "The Joviek family will be joining forces with me and the Wales Group.”
