Chapter 369: Chapter 383: Proposal Gift (17)

Isabel Smith hung up Elijah Smith’s phone call, entered the elevator, and went upstairs without returning to her own apartment, but directly knocked on the door of Percy Stanton’s apartment.

The door was opened by an hourly worker nanny hired by Percy Stanton, who recognized Isabel Smith and handed her a pair of slippers.

As Isabel was changing shoes, she asked, "Where are Percy and Raymond?"

"Mr. Stanton has taken Raymond to the supermarket downstairs to buy fireworks," the hourly worker nanny kindly answered Isabel’s question and poured her a glass of water, inviting Isabel to make herself at home while she went to the kitchen to cook.

Inside Percy’s living room, there was a Christmas tree with many decorations and colorful lamp lights continuously flashing.

Isabel placed the gifts on the tea table and sat down on the sofa. Slightly bored, she glanced around and saw a stack of documents on the sofa next to her. She casually picked them up, which were all about Smith Corporation. She flipped through them to pass the time. As she was about to finish, she saw a document bag and opened it without hesitation, assuming it was also about Smith Corporation.

Inside there were thick stacks of paper and some hard cards. Isabel couldn’t make out what they were, so she pulled out the paper from the front. She didn’t pull it out completely, just a little, and glanced at it casually. She saw a document with her personal information.

Full Name: Isabel Smith

Gender: Female

Birthplace: Bellshire, Chanaea

Marital Status: Unmarried

...

Isabel furrowed her brow and wondered why Percy printed her information.

As Isabel subconsciously wanted to continue pulling out the documents, she heard a knock at the door and the hourly worker Auntie’s voice from the kitchen, "Miss Smith, Mr. Stanton is back. I’m busy in the kitchen and can’t get away, so could you help me open the door?"

"Sure," Isabel agreed, suppressed her doubts, put the documents back in place on the tea table, and got up to open the door.

...

Raise daughters richly, sons poorly.

That was Thompson Empire Group’s philosophy for raising children.

Despite the substantial assets behind Thompson Empire Group, every boy born into the group was trained to be independent from a young age.

Compared to girls, who were raised like princesses and led pampered lives.

So, since Raymond could walk, Percy had been deliberately cultivating his independence. However, Percy was a man without a woman’s distinctive delicacy and patience for children. Most of the time, he couldn’t be bothered to lecture Raymond on important doctrines; instead, he acted as a father and directly ordered Raymond to do certain things.

Like tonight, Percy had bought a whole bag full of fireworks with Raymond. After settling the account, Percy felt the weight of the fireworks was manageable, so he directly handed it to Raymond to carry.

Upon leaving the supermarket, Percy walked hurriedly, not accommodating his little friend. It didn’t take long for Raymond to fall behind.

Raymond was accustomed to being "enslaved" like this by his father, but occasionally he wanted attention and to enjoy the "children’s treatment." Unable to keep up with Percy, Raymond eventually stopped and called out to his father who was walking ahead, "Father."

Percy stopped and looked back calmly at Raymond.

Raymond blinked his bright big eyes, gazing at Percy, and opened his small rosy lips, saying in an innocent and adorable tone, "Father, I can’t carry them anymore."
