Chapter 413: Chapter 429: You’re Investigating Me? (11)

"Percy, about the exact time of Isabel’s car accident, I found out it was on the afternoon of her adulthood ceremony six years ago, on the road to Starhaven University. She collided with a truck without a license plate, and from the information I gathered, there were four people in the car that day—Isabel’s parents, the driver, and Isabel herself. The other three, it appears, died on the spot..."

Percy’s initially slack body immediately tensed up, his handsome brows furrowing involuntarily and his face not looking particularly good.

Even before his brain could process the full weight of Joseph Tucker’s statement, he heard Joseph’s voice coming through the phone, continuing without pause.

"It might be because Smith Corporation was cooperating with a foreign enterprise, and Mrs. Smith had hidden the death of Isabel’s parents, pushing their death announcements back by half a year, that’s why..."

Joseph Tucker hesitated, then said, "In fact, the real date of Isabel’s parents’ deaths was on Isabel’s eighteenth birthday."

Percy’s brain began to buzz, and he opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word. His face paled in an instant.

It took him some time to figure out why Elijah Smith would throw such a lavish banquet for his own birthday, while Isabel’s birthday went unnoticed.

He never knew that the woman he wanted to love and cherish deep down in his heart carried such a sad past.

He clearly remembered that three days before Isabel’s adulthood ceremony, she had intercepted him on the Pedestrian Street behind Starhaven University, then caused him an allergy and landed him in the hospital. The next day when she woke up, she invited him to her adulthood ceremony with a bright and joyous smile.

At that time, her expression was so proud, as if she was eagerly welcoming her passage into adulthood.

But fate is unpredictable, and on the day she had most anticipated, her world ended in tragedy as she lost her parents. What was her reaction when she woke up to see their cold, lifeless bodies?

In that moment, Percy didn’t have the capacity to think about who Isabel was in love with six years ago, or whether the father of the child in her belly was the person she went to Starhaven University to pick up—all that was occupying his mind was concern for Isabel.

He wondered, how could a woman as proud as a princess have experienced such dark times in her life?

For years, he’d been brooding over the fact that he foolishly stood at the entrance of Starhaven University, waiting in vain for her, but he never knew that, at that time, she was going through an ordeal far more painful than his!

As his brain started to race, Percy trembled with fear.

He still remembered the feeling he had on the night he and Isabel fought in Bellshire.

One second, Isabel was with him, taking Raymond to watch the fireworks, and the next, she was scoffing at her own blindness in choosing him. In a moment, she had pushed him from heaven into hell.

All these years, he thought that he couldn’t live without her. That night, when he heard her say that, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

Since reuniting with her and discovering she didn’t remember him, he went from anger to acceptance. He wished only for her to respond to his persistent kindness; that would have been enough. But in the end, all he got was her regret and sorrow. At that time, he felt as if his whole world had collapsed.

He never wanted to experience that feeling again in his life.

He felt just as bad now as he did that night.

He had just booked an airplane ticket to return to her side, but the moment he turned around, Joseph Tucker brought him such shocking news.

This thrill was like playing with his heartbeat; it could kill him in an instant.
