Chapter 531: Chapter 547: To Leave or Not to Leave? (12)

Finally, a reporter asked, "Mr. Stanton, if your beloved woman is here, what would you like to say to her?"

The camera quickly switched to a close-up of Percy Stanton. His delicate and profound features softened, as he looked straight ahead and spoke slowly, "Even if time flies in the world, the moment you look back, it stands still."

Isabel Smith’s fingers clenched tightly around her mobile phone. She didn’t hear a word the host said as they continued with the news report.

When Percy had stepped in to help Elijah Smith with his problems, she had wondered who he really was. She had considered that he might be the son of some high-ranking military officer. But now, she realized just how much she had underestimated him.

He was actually the largest shareholder of Thompson Empire Group, the business family that dominated the global economy. It was said that a few years back, the young Miss of Thompson Empire Group had married into a powerful military family in Bellshire.

A hint of panic flashed in Isabel’s eyes, as she couldn’t quite make sense of her feelings. Some things were slowly taking shape in her mind.

No wonder he had calmly mentioned cooperating with Thompson Empire Group while making their agreement. At the time, she had thought it was an unrealistic dream, but he had seemed so calm and composed.

No wonder when they went shopping together, he could buy all the limited edition dresses, costing hundreds of thousands, without batting an eye.

No wonder when she was in danger at the Magnificent, he could make the police save her first...

All these thoughts piled up in Isabel’s mind, and she finally understood why Percy always seemed so noble and elegant. Although he seemed powerless in Bellshire City, there was an unreachable pride deep in his bones.

Back then, she had thought his mood was so unpredictable... but now she understood that he had the right to be that way.

No wonder his surname was Stanton, Raymond’s was Thompson... because the one who brought the Thompson Empire Group to its greatest heights was Quinton Thompson, and his wife was Emily Stanton... Percy had taken his mother’s surname.

As Isabel pondered, her chest heaved, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth. Her eyes widened, filled with shock and disbelief.

Yes, disbelief.

How could she accept that a man who seemed to be from the same world as her had suddenly become the ruler of a faraway business empire?

Isabel bit her finger hard and swallowed for a long time. Her hand slid down from her mouth, and when her fingers touched the platinum necklace around her neck, her body trembled slightly.

Percy had given her the necklace on her birthday, saying it was not just a necklace, but also a key. She had joked that the key might hide a great fortune, and he had said, "Yes, that fortune could save the Smith Corporation countless times."

At that time, she had taken his words as a joke and laughed it off. But now...

Isabel didn’t dare to think any further. She hastily removed the necklace and looked at the two English letters engraved on the back.

QT.

She had always thought it was the brand of the necklace. Now she understood that QT was the abbreviation of Quinton Thompson’s initials in Chinese.

Isabel stared at the necklace, her lips parted, feeling it burn in her hand.

Her eyes filled with panic, she squatted on the toilet for a long time before finally standing up. She washed up in a daze and walked out of the bathroom.
