Chapter 241: Chapter 253: Unintentional Care and Concern (2)

There was nothing good about Smith Corporation – no grandmothers, no uncles, no cousins, nothing seemed pleasing or comfortable to him!

Can’t she see how others are repulsed and disgusted by her?

Since that’s the case, why does she insist on staying there?

The woman Percy Stanton likes is the future darling of Thompson Empire Group, admired and respected by countless people, envious, jealous, even hated – she’s the queen he cherishes in his palms, and he won’t tolerate anyone trampling on her.

At first, he thought he could stay by her side, win her heart within a year, but the longer he spent with her, the more he realized how terrible her life was.

Do you know what those other 20-something-year-old women around him were doing?

When Charlotte Thompson was 24 years old, she launched an entertainment magazine under the name of "Princess of Thompson Empire Group", engaged in business struggles, and even poached every employee from rival companies.

Ella Adams is not even 20 years old yet but is already pursuing a Ph.D. at Starhaven University, carefree and playful.

Cindy Powell, also under 20, is studying for her master’s degree in Toronto with William Quincy, and just recently shared photos of their trip to Antarctica to see the penguins.

And Isabel Smith, another woman in her twenties, is living such a chaotic life!

Percy Stanton couldn’t sit idly by any longer. He couldn’t watch her calmly and patiently, waiting for her to gradually fall in love with him.

He felt that he could no longer stand on the sidelines of her life!

If he had stayed patient, he thought, she might have been just fine – but he would have died waiting!

At this thought, Percy Stanton exhales a few long, heavy breaths. After a while, his muffled and somber voice comes through again: "Isabel Smith, are you truly happy?"

"Are you willing to swear under the heavens, swear to your own heart that you are truly happy?"

"Isabel Smith, from the way you just spoke and looked, it seems more like you’re deceiving yourself."

"In front of others, you’re elegant and composed, looking pleasing and eye-catching. But do you know how you look in my eyes?"

"You’re scared, helpless, lonely, hesitant, and vulnerable. You even wake up from nightmares late at night... But you shouldn’t be like this, Isabel Smith. You should be proud, willful, confident, and arrogant..."

Percy Stanton has always known that Isabel Smith’s life was far from good, but he never realized just how terrible her life was until he listed everything out.

Isabel always thought she had hidden herself well. But when Percy Stanton pointed out the details of her life, she finally realized just how bad her life appeared in someone else’s eyes.

Isabel’s lips moved, but in response she only uttered an "oh," before looking out the window.

The car cabin was silent, and a multitude of heartaches rolled inside Percy Stanton’s chest. He glanced at her delicate profile, which wore a lost expression. His lips moved, wanting to say something else, but he eventually closed his mouth and just continued to drive. After a while, he looked over again, and Isabel had already leaned on the car seat, her eyes closed and the corner of her eyes bearing a trace of tears that seemed about to fall.

The force with which Percy Stanton gripped the steering wheel suddenly increased, his expression darkening significantly.

Outside the car window were the towering, chaotic buildings of Bellshire City and countless billboards that were passing by. There were always a lot of people on the streets, including countless women around Isabel’s age, perhaps in groups, perhaps with boyfriends, or perhaps alone. Regardless, each of them had smiles on their faces.

...

Isabel wasn’t asleep. In fact, she was just at a loss when Percy suddenly shed light on her true self. The first thing that crossed her mind was to subconsciously play dead and escape the situation.
