Chapter 347: Chapter 359: Life and Death Hanging by a Thread (37)

That month, she seemed to be living as usual, but nobody knew how difficult and oppressive his life was!

Later at the horse field, she nearly lost her life. All he could think was that it would be enough for her to live well. However, in that narrow escape, there was no one else around her except him. She woke up from nightmares in the middle of the night, crying hysterically like a little girl. That night, he promised her that he would stay by her side. If she wanted it for a while, he would stay for a while. If she wanted it for a lifetime, he would give her a lifetime.

In the later days, their relationship became better and better. He couldn’t tell if her feelings for him were gradually changing as well.

However, that was no longer important. In love, a man should take the initiative. If he didn’t give her his sincere heart, how could he make her heart flutter?

Anyway, in this life, he would only love her. The marriage proposal would come sooner or later. As long as the final outcome was to win her heart, even if he had to propose a few more times, he didn’t mind!

Percy Stanton thought about it and picked up his mobile phone. He continued answering Joseph Tucker’s question on the phone, "If she doesn’t agree this time, there will be a next time. If she doesn’t agree the next time, there will be another time... There will be a time when she will agree to marry me."

Just when Percy Stanton said this, the crowd in front of him suddenly became restless. He slightly turned his head and saw the photo displayed on the big screen. The gentleness in his eyes was instantly replaced by deep shock.

The photo on the big screen was of Isabel Smith. From the background, it seemed to be in some European country, during the summer. She was wearing only a loose dress. In the photo, she looked a bit chubby, her face round. She appeared younger than she was now. But her belly was exceptionally large. She was holding her waist with one hand and touching her abdomen with the other. At a glance, one could understand that it was a photo of her pregnant.

Percy Stanton’s eyebrows tightly furrowed, staring at the photo. He couldn’t help but feel as if a gust of cold wind blew violently through the tip of his heart.

Percy Stanton didn’t listen to what Joseph Tucker said in the phone call. It took him a long while before he hung up and put the mobile phone back into his pocket, his gaze fixed on the photo.

...

Elijah Smith stood among the crowd, disinterested in the signing ceremony. He hung his head, lazily playing with his mobile phone, until he heard the gossip around him. None of it caught his attention.

"The Young Miss of the Smith Family has been pregnant?"

Elijah Smith’s finger, which was pressing the mobile phone screen, paused slightly. He frowned and turned his head to look at the person who had just spoken.

The man, knowing that Elijah Smith was Isabel Smith’s younger brother, gave an awkward smile and turned his head away.

Elijah Smith’s eyebrows were still tightly creased. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the big screen in front and anger flared up in his eyes.

...

"Hasn’t the Young Miss of the Smith Family never been married?"

"The date in the lower right corner of the photo shows that it was taken more than five years ago. Does that mean the Young Miss got pregnant before she was of age?"

"My God...what’s going on?"

The whispers from the audience gradually grew louder.

Isabel Smith stood on the stage and could hear everything clearly. Her face grew more and more ugly.

Her hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, the nails digging into her palm with some force.

However, no one knew how excited she was deep in her heart at that moment!

Yes, she was very excited... because no one knew that she had actually arranged for the photo to be displayed, with the simple purpose of driving a wedge between Mrs. Smith and Sebastian Smith’s family!

In fact, she had already prepared for this plan a long time ago, just waiting for a suitable opportunity to present itself.
