Chapter 224: Chapter 236: The Poisonous Mango (5)

Elijah Smith lifted his hand, took the gift, and didn’t forget to smile at Charlotte Green, saying, "Thank you."

As soon as Elijah Smith accepted the gift, Charlotte Green playfully said, while holding onto Mrs. Smith’s arm, "Grandma, don’t worry. The gift I gave to Elijah is not a random useless thing. It’s definitely something that will motivate him to study and progress."

Mrs. Smith couldn’t help but smile at Charlotte Green’s words.

However, Isabel Smith couldn’t help but feel that Charlotte Green’s behavior was rather deceptive and laughable. She looked around absent-mindedly and saw Percy Stanton, who was initially surrounded by people, standing under a tree and chatting with a young man.

Isabel Smith lowered her head, whispered something into Mrs. Smith’s ear, and then gracefully walked towards Percy Stanton with a glass of red wine in hand. As she approached, Percy whispered something to the young man next to him, who then nodded and left.

Percy Stanton, leaning against the tree trunk with a wine glass in hand, swirled the red wine in the glass gracefully, creating beautiful whirls.

Whether due to the colorful neon lights around him or the wine he had been drinking, there was a bright glint in the depth of his dark eyes.

He didn’t move, just continued to stand in the same position in which he was chatting with the other man, watching Isabel Smith walk step-by-step towards him.

Halfway there, Isabel Smith grabbed another glass of red wine from a nearby attendant’s tray. When she finally stopped in front of Percy, she raised her glass and gently clinked it against his, smiling and saying, "Thank you for tonight."

After that, Isabel Smith lifted the wine glass and quickly drained its contents.

Percy didn’t say anything; he just stared deeply at Isabel Smith as she finished her drink. Then, he slowly lifted his glass, drank the wine like she did, and set the glass down. He then gave Isabel Smith a captivating smile, his voice slightly raspy and magnetic from the alcohol, both enchanting and charming, "You’re welcome, Isabel."

Isabel felt that when Percy said her name, there was some magical charm that made her heart suddenly race "thump, thump, thump."

Perhaps others didn’t understand the anxiety and distress that Isabel Smith felt while waiting alone on the stage for Elijah Smith. Even though she appeared calm on the outside, she was actually terrified, afraid that she wouldn’t be able to handle the situation and that the birthday banquet would be ruined.

In her entire life, she had never been so humiliated - tonight was the first time. She almost became the butt of a joke in front of everyone.

At that time, she thought she was doomed...

But then, just when she thought everything was over, Percy Stanton appeared elegantly on the stage, dancing a stunning dance with her that amazed everyone, turning her from a potential joke into something wonderful!

Isabel Smith was grateful. She even felt that, perhaps due to the mesmerizing lights or Amelia’s decorating this night, the man in front of her didn’t seem as intimidating or distant as before.

She even had the urge to sit here and chat with Percy Stanton for a while.

With that in mind, Isabel Smith slowly walked to Percy’s side. He was leaning against a flowering tree with low branches. She grabbed a branch, lifted her feet off the ground, and sat on it.
