Chapter 414: Chapter 430: You’re Investigating Me? (12)

Countless thoughts raced through Percy Stanton’s mind in the short instant, filled with panic, heartache, and bewilderment. In the end, all of it converged into one prevailing thought: what could he do now? After knowing all this, it seemed more imperative than ever that he had to have her.

"As for the owner of the car that caused the accident, he was drunk driving. After paying a large sum of money, he left Bellshire City. It should be considered a drunk-driving accident, and based on the local police’s handling at the time, nothing unusual was discovered,"

"After that, Isabel Smith was hospitalized with severe injuries and later, due to her pregnancy, was arranged by Mrs. Smith to go to the United States."

Joseph Tucker continued to share all the information he had gathered in his investigation with Percy Stanton over the phone.

Upon hearing it all, Percy Stanton immediately hung up the phone without a second word and then abruptly stood up from the sofa. Because he got up too fast, he accidentally hit the wine table in front of him, knocking over a bottle of western wine just opened onto the Land. The expensive dollar shattered in an instant. Percy Stanton’s eyes didn’t blink as he hurriedly searched for his phone, walking out of the private booth. As the wine had spilled on the floor and he was walking too fast, he inadvertently slipped and lunged forward. Luckily, he had quick reflexes and managed to steady himself by grabbing onto a shelf inside the booth. Although he had managed to soften the impact, the force of his grip made the shelf wobble, and the valuable porcelain on it crashed, breaking into pieces.

Percy Stanton listened to the chaotic sounds behind him as he dialed the phone again: "Help me change my airplane ticket. If it can’t be changed, then book a new one. I need a flight to Bellshire tonight... Right now, as soon as possible. I’m going straight to the airport..."

After hanging up the phone, Percy Stanton managed to stabilize himself after slipping on the wine. As he opened the door, he handed John Quincy his mobile phone.

Percy Stanton left the "Royal Palace" and drove at breakneck speed to the airport.

An assistant from Thompson Empire Group was already waiting there with his airplane ticket in hand. After hesitating a bit, the assistant mustered the courage to remind him, "Mr. Stanton, you have several important meetings scheduled tomorrow, and a business partner from the United States is supposed to join you for dinner at the Hyatt."

Only then did Percy Stanton recall that he hadn’t brought any luggage with him, carrying only his wallet. Moreover, there were numerous unresolved issues within Thompson Empire Group. He couldn’t care less now; thinking about it, he told his assistant, "All the projects I’m in charge of are suspended for now. I’m not open to negotiation, and all pending matters will be postponed. If anyone has objections, simply terminate the contracts, regardless of the costs."

While going through security check, Percy Stanton realized that he didn’t have a mobile phone on him. The personal phone he habitually used had been thrown into the water fountain in the Thompson Family Estate out of anger earlier.

With only half an hour left before the flight, there wasn’t enough time to purchase a new phone and replace his number. Percy Stanton thought for a moment, then walked into the security check area, deciding that he would buy a phone after landing in Bellshire. Since his phone number was also registered in Bellshire, he could only replace it there.

...

Sometimes, when things seem to be running their natural course and everyone expects a satisfactory conclusion, things may go awry unexpectedly.

Isabel Smith felt that she had been having terrible luck recently. Just when Mrs. Smith had given her two pieces of good news, one of them had turned into a tragedy due to Sebastian Smith’s family drama.

There were countless mistresses in this world, some for money and others for love. The desire to eradicate mistresses was a common aspiration among wives everywhere. However, to be involved in such a mistress-related matter, Isabel Smith couldn’t help but think it was an awful turn of luck.
