Chapter 494: Chapter 510: So It’s Him (15)

——Isabel, from now on, my love for you is just my own matter.

Isabel’s fingers gripping the curtain couldn’t help but tighten a little.

She stood there stiffly like a fool, for a long time in front of the window, until her legs became numb, and Percy’s car slowly drove away from her sight.

Only then did Isabel slowly let go of her fingers gripping the curtain and walked back to her bed. Seeing the beautiful formal dress laid out on it, her throat felt blocked, and her chest was tight, making it hard to breathe.

What to do... Percy’s words at Rose Manor shook her... she didn’t want to get engaged to George Vincent anymore...

Isabel’s breathing grew heavy, and after struggling for a while, she went to the computer, booked a ticket for a morning flight to Ravenwood City, and then took out her mobile phone, composing a text message to Mrs. Smith: Grandma, I’m sorry, I just received news from Ravenwood City that Thompson Empire Group needs to bid on a cooperation project today, so I’m going there for a short trip. I’m really sorry about today’s engagement banquet, but I may not be able to make it.

Isabel glanced at the departure time on her ticket and set a time for the text message to be sent.

Afterward, Isabel composed another text message for George Vincent, also set to be sent at a specific time, then turned off her phone, opened her wardrobe, and started sorting out her clothes.

It was three in the morning when Isabel finished packing everything. She took her suitcase directly downstairs, hailed a taxi from the roadside, and went to the airport.

The airport was quiet, with only some staff present and no other people. Isabel sat in a twenty-four-hour operating KFC until five o’clock, then took her suitcase and checked it in after going through security.

Some people’s lives cannot be escaped, but Isabel thought that perhaps a brief escape could be a form of happiness.

At this moment, she just wanted to shed her identity as a daughter of the Smith family and be a simple and happy Isabel.

She knew that this time might be short, but she wanted to have it anyway.

At six fifty, when Isabel was sitting on the plane, she looked at the sky outside the window that was not completely bright yet, and couldn’t help but close her eyes, smiling in satisfaction.

Although she didn’t know what kind of chaos she, the main character of the engagement banquet, would cause by leaving two text messages at the eleventh hour and then disappearing without a trace, she really didn’t want to think about it now.

...

The venue for the engagement banquet was chosen at the Bellshire Grand Hotel.

As the Vincent family had only one son, George Vincent, they spared no expense for the engagement banquet and booked the entire place.

The time for the engagement banquet was 12 pm, serving a national feast.

Before ten o’clock, the main entrance of the Bellshire Grand Hotel was already bustling, adorned with red decorations for the celebration.

Since it was a marriage alliance, the event had to be maximized in value, so the engagement banquet was open, and many reporters from the Bellshire Commercial Area had arrived early to stake out their spots.

At 10:30 pm, guests began to arrive in succession. The Vincent and Smith families had invited people separately, each hosting their respective guests.

By 11 pm, Mrs. Smith, Sebastian Smith and his wife, and George Vincent’s parents had already entered the Bellshire Grand Hotel to entertain the almost fully-arrived guests, leaving Evelyn Osbert alone at the entrance, waiting for the last few guests who had not yet arrived.

At 10:30 pm, as most of the guests had arrived, everyone took their seats, waiting only for the male and female protagonists of the engagement banquet to make their appearance.

Evelyn Osbert checked the guest list for the engagement banquet and found that everyone was present, so she turned and walked back into the Bellshire Grand Hotel. After taking a few steps, she heard the voice of a doorman behind her: "Excuse me, sirs, the restaurant has been booked for a private event today, and you cannot come in."
