Chapter 352: Chapter 364: Life and Death Hanging by a Thread (42)

"Grandma, during this time, I could tell that you have not forgiven me. When I was injured and hospitalized, you only symbolically visited me every day. To you, my only use is to help the Smith Corporation, which is what you care about the most. I have been working hard to make the Smith Corporation as good as it was before, but, Grandma, you saw what happened tonight..."

Mrs. Smith was taken aback by Isabel’s words, and her entire body gradually became unsteady in her seat.

Isabel observed Mrs. Smith’s expression while continuing, "If I had not reacted quickly, Grandma, I think everyone in Bellshire would know about the young miss of the Smith family having an illegitimate pregnancy. People would point fingers at me, and I wouldn’t be able to stay in Bellshire City. And, Grandma, you would blame me for dragging down the Smith Corporation and drive me away again!"

"Grandma, do you know that I have had nightmares every day? I’m really afraid of Grandma driving me away. Bellshire is my home, and my father devoted so much effort to the Smith Corporation. I can’t just watch it be destroyed. Alexa is my biological younger brother. We no longer have a mother and father, and as his older sister, I want him to have a good future. I returned to Smith Corporation not only for myself or for you, Grandma, but also for Alexa."

Isabel knows saying it was for Mrs. Smith would seem somewhat flattering and false, so she speaks the truth about half of the reason why she returned to the country – for Alexa.

"Grandma, I don’t want to say anything bad about anyone in front of you. I just want to ask, when another accident like this happens, what do you want me to do?"

Isabel paused, deciding to make another push to move Mrs. Smith’s heart, "Grandma, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you want me to do."

As Mrs. Smith listened to Isabel’s words, her expression gradually returned to a calm state. However, her heart became even more distressed.

Each of Isabel’s sentences did not blame her, but it made Mrs. Smith feel as if she was being cut by a knife.

Without even thinking, Mrs. Smith spoke to Isabel, "Don’t worry, Isabel. I won’t let this matter end just like that. I once said that I would only pass the Smith Corporation to someone capable. I still won’t change my mind now. If you have the ability to support the Smith Corporation, I will give it to you. Even if Alexa is my biological son, he must give way if he lacks the ability. More importantly, I will never allow the people of the Smith family to play such conspiracies and tricks behind each other’s backs!"

Hearing these words, Isabel knew that what she had said just now had successfully moved Mrs. Smith’s heart.

She knew that Sebastian Smith’s family would not let her go so easily.

Today it was her who framed herself, but they would surely take action in the future.

That’s why she deliberately said that sentence, leaving a way out for herself in the future.

By then, no matter how Sebastian’s family tried to deal with her, Grandma would only think that she was being framed!

Percy chose to propose to Isabel at the tea shop at the end of the Starhaven University Pedestrian Street.

During the years when Isabel left Bellshire, he often revisited Starhaven University, and of course, he visited the tea shop most frequently. Every time he went, he would order a mango milk tea but not drink it, placing it on the table seemed as if he could imagine Isabel sitting across from him, sipping milk tea.

Three years ago, when the owner of that tea shop wanted to emigrate to Australia and planned to lease the shop to someone else for a different business, Percy bought the store outright and continued to sell milk tea.
