Chapter 110: Chapter 122: A One-of-a-Kind Gift (7)

When she was 14, she picked up a stool and fought for Elijah Smith when he was bullied by his classmates.

When she was 17, Elijah played with his friends and didn’t come home until late at night. It was pouring heavy rain that day. She went to look for him alone with an umbrella. When they returned, they were both soaked. Then she got a cold and fever, but Elijah Smith was unharmed. The next day, Elijah Smith came to take care of her with ginger soup, and looked at her with his young head raised, saying, "Older sister, I won’t come home late again."

...

During those six years she was in the United States, she was constantly worried about Elijah Smith, but now, he was cold towards her, as if he was a stranger.

Her heart couldn’t help but ache.

At this moment, the goddess-like image that Isabel Smith always displayed in front of people seemed to collapse. If she hadn’t experienced so much in those six years, she would have been too sad to keep her composure.

Fortunately, she was no longer the weak, wealthy young woman she once was. Isabel Smith tried her best to maintain her composure.

However, Evelyn Osbert clearly did not want to give Isabel Smith the opportunity. She raised her hand, pushed Elijah Smith’s waist, and said with a touch of anger, "Elijah, if you are like this, I will ignore you!"

"Sister!" Elijah Smith turned his head, his face obviously tense, looking at Evelyn Osbert.

Evelyn Osbert frowned and didn’t look at Elijah Smith.

Elijah Smith immediately compromised and muttered, "All right, I lose."

He then raised his head, glanced hurriedly at Isabel Smith, and called out, "Sister Isabel."

Then, without waiting for Isabel Smith to respond, he hurriedly turned his head, looking at Evelyn Osbert. He took off his glasses, held them in his hand, put his arm around Evelyn Osbert’s shoulder, and said softly, "Sister, I greeted her just now, so can you stop being angry now?"

Unintentionally, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Evelyn Osbert’s tight lips.

Only then, did Elijah Smith smile and say, "Sister, I’m going shopping with you today. Whatever you like, just pick, and I’ll help you buy."

Evelyn Osbert cast a sidelong glance at Elijah Smith and finally laughed. She then looked at Isabel Smith and said, "Sister Isabel, do you have anything you want? Can Elijah help you buy it together?"

Isabel Smith wasn’t foolish. How could she not see that Evelyn Osbert’s series of actions were to make her jealous?

It was clear that she wanted to tell her that now, Elijah regarded Evelyn Osbert as his older sister, whereas Isabel Smith was just an outsider!

Elijah was still a big boy, not even 20 years old yet, and his thoughts were not as mature. Naturally, he didn’t know Evelyn Osbert’s tricks. So now being used by Evelyn Osbert, he didn’t realize it.

But how could Isabel Smith let Elijah be used by Evelyn Osbert again? So this time, without waiting for Elijah to react to Evelyn Osbert’s suggestion, she looked at Evelyn Osbert with a calm smile, saying, "No need. I came shopping with a friend today. You guys go ahead with your plans, and we can catch up some other day."

"Alright then." Evelyn had just gained the upper hand and thought that she could use this opportunity to continue attacking Isabel Smith. However, she didn’t expect that Isabel would cleverly deflect it. A trace of displeasure involuntarily emerged in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Percy Stanton behind Isabel, and her eyes suddenly sparkled as if remembering something. She said, "So Isabel is shopping with Mr. Stanton, right?"

Isabel Smith smiled but didn’t say anything.

However, Evelyn Osbert looked at Percy Stanton and slightly hooked her lips, saying, "Mr. Stanton, I don’t know if you still remember me now?"
