Chapter 478: Chapter 494: You Promised I Still Have You (36)

Isabel Smith’s face instantaneously turns pale.

Standing aside, Joseph Wood’s Wife, who heard the news, completely forgets her image. She begins to cry and curse wildly at Elijah Smith.

However, towards Elijah Smith, who is leaning crookedly against the wall, hearing the police’s message to Isabel, his demeanor does not shift in the slightest.

Even though impulse is the devil, he feels no regret for the wrathful act just now leading to his current predicament in jail.

Instead, the next second, Isabel quickly stands up from her chair and she walks in front of Joseph Wood’s Wife.

She actually despised Joseph Wood’s Wife, who gave her a slap and added humiliation in front of so many people.

But now, for Elijah Smith, once again she has to swallow her fury. So when Isabel Smith speaks to Joseph Wood’s Wife, her forced smile looks stiff: "Mrs. Wood, I am really very sorry. Can we handle this privately?"

"Handling it privately?" Joseph Wood’s Wife sneers at Isabel Smith: "Where are so many good things as private settlement? Weren’t you very arrogant while hitting others!"

Before Isabel Smith can say anything, Elijah Smith stretches out his hand, grabs Isabel’s wrist, and pulls her behind him.

Being taller than Isabel, Elijah Smith shields her completely. Then he looks down at Joseph Wood’s Wife, laughs coldly, turns to Isabel and says: "No need to plead with her. It’s just a matter of eating prison meals for a while."

No need to tell Isabel that Elijah fought Terrence for her sake. She tightens her lips, raises her hand, pushes Elijah away, and stares straight at Joseph Wood’s Wife, saying: "Mrs. Wood, you can name any compensation amount you want, please consider it again..."

"I said, no need to plead with her!" Elijah Smith screams at Isabel Smith agitatedly.

Isabel Smith is afraid that Elijah Smith would cause more trouble. Things that could have been settled privately could become public. So she shouts at Elijah desperately: "Elijah Smith, shut your mouth!"

As she shouts, a layer of tears forms in the depths of Isabel’s eyes.

Elijah Smith stares at Isabel’s expression, looks at it for a while, finally turns his head away, and stays silent.

Only then does Isabel turn her head and looks towards Joseph Wood’s Wife again.

Joseph Wood’s Wife looks at Isabel indifferently: "Miss Smith, I suggest you save your effort as we’ll go down the legal route no matter how much the compensation is. As for Young Master Smith’s temperament, if the Smith family can’t control him, let’s leave it to the law then!"

After saying so, Joseph Wood’s Wife turned around, picked up her bag, and left.

...

It’s only in the early morning that Percy Stanon leaves from the ground floor of Isabel’s building. He returns home, takes care of some work, and finally hits the bed.

His sleep is not very deep. He keeps having dreams about Isabel. There are beautiful images as well as sad ones, causing his emotions to fluctuate. He wasn’t sure if he was sleeping or merely closing his eyes, daydreaming.

It was only when his cell phone ringtone suddenly rang that Percy got pulled out of his deep pondering. He lazily stretched out his hand and picked up the mobile phone. He looked at the caller ID, then calmly answered: "Ella, what’s up?"

"I need your help, Brother Marion Hancock."

"Hmm." Since he has just woken up, Percy’s voice is a bit hoarse. He clears his throat before saying: "Go ahead."

"It’s about Senior Isabel’s younger brother..."

Before Ella can finish her sentence, Percy asks: "What happened to Elijah Smith?"

Then immediately he sprang out of his bed, leaning his head, squeezing the phone between his shoulder and ear. He listens to Ella speak as he walks to the wardrobe, picks out a couple of clothes and starts getting dressed.

Ella doesn’t catch the stressed "again" in Percy’s sentence and hurriedly continues to speak...
