Chapter 157: Chapter 169: I’m Responsible for Her Life (10)

"Brother Shaw, Mr. Elijah Smith is a Senior Member of Magnificent and has booked a private booth, no.0001, this night. He was accompanied by thirteen newly arrived, top-class young ladies. However, about an hour and a half ago, the individual you’re looking for, Miss Isabel Smith, appeared... "

Edward Shaw frowned at the mention of "the individual you’re looking for, Miss Isabel Smith" showing slight dissatisfaction, but he didn’t interrupt the speaker on the other side of the phone call and continued to listen with a disapproving look.

"...Miss Isabel Smith mentioned Mr. Elijah Smith’s name to the receptionist and was then led by the receptionist to booth 0001. The surveillance video shows that Miss Isabel Smith entered the booth for about thirty minutes, then the companions that Mr. Elijah Smith called, one after another, ran out of the booth in panic. Elijah Smith walked out of the booth with an unhappy and angry look, five minutes later and didn’t return to the booth again. Meanwhile, Miss Isabel and the friends of Mr. Elijah Smith remained in the booth, and they have not left, totaling about fifty minutes so far."

The manager of "Magnificent" went through the situation as displayed in the surveillance video he had investigated and added a sentence after finishing: "Brother Shaw, do I need to send someone to look into the booth now to check on Miss Isabel’s condition?"

Pausing for a moment, the manager of "Magnificent" asked again: "But Brother Shaw, there is a rule where all private booths cannot be entered, so... what do you think... "

Edward Shaw leaned against the railing, looking at the lavish ceiling, and spoke leisurely: "No need, someone else will handle the rest. I just want to know the situation."

"Yes, Brother Shaw."

Edward Shaw hung up the call instinctively, but halfway through, he picked up the phone again and told the manager on the other end of the line: "Isabel has nothing to do with me."

The manager on the other side of the phone was startled by Edward Shaw’s sudden remark, immediately saying "Yes, yes, yes" several times.

Ever since Lily Adams gave birth to the twin "Little Balls," Edward Shaw had become an exemplary man, truly valuing his chastity and reputation. So, subconsciously, he explained himself to the manager, but after hearing the manager’s response, Edward felt even more sullen at heart. He hung up the phone forcefully and then called up his brother-in-law, Mr. Clarke, feeling a bit disgruntled, to report all the information he had learned.

...

The apartment where Percy Stanton and Isabel Smith lived was not in the same city district as "Magnificent," and was quite far away, separated by Bellshire City’s Second Ring Road.

Even though it was nearing 11 PM, there were still many vehicles on the West Second Ring Road, resulting in a slight trafficjam.

Percy Stanton’s foot alternated between stepping on the gas pedal and the brake; he couldn’t pick up speed and even almost caused a rear-end collision with the vehicle in front of him.

He raised his wrist to check the time, and it had only been ten minutes since he called Joseph Tucker, but it felt like a very long time had passed.

Percy Stanton appeared calm as he lowered his wrist, staring straight at the red light on the road in front of him. Yet, his hand tapped the steering wheel rapidly. Suddenly, amidst his rapid tapping, his mobile phone rang.
