Chapter 573: Chapter 589: A Romantic "Chance Encounter" (2)

If it wasn’t for that night when he rushed back to Bellshire overnight to see Isabel Smith, it’s likely that she and he would have had a huge misunderstanding due to her appearance that night.

"Oh my god...I didn’t want to talk much, thinking everyone should know better, but unexpectedly, I was bitten back." Percy Stanton curled his lips and chuckled lightly, and just when he was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head, asking the police officer standing aside, "Excuse me, what’s this lady’s name again?"

"Evelyn Osbert."

"Oh..." Percy nodded, turning his head slowly, looking at Evelyn with a collected and calm demeanor, "Miss Evelyn, I’m really sorry, but I’m not speaking without conscience. After all, conscience depends on who the other party is."

Pausing, Percy’s tone became heavy, as if Evelyn was the one being unreasonable, "Now that my identity is exposed, everyone knows I’m the CEO of Thompson Empire Group, so some people might want to take this opportunity to blackmail me by doing illegal things. So, Miss Evelyn insisting she knows me is really too reckless."

Isabel glanced sideways at Percy, who was lying without a blush or a heartbeat, and couldn’t help but inwardly admire him... Such a good actor, if he joined the entertainment industry, he could definitely win an award for Best Actor!

Evelyn’s face turned red and white due to Percy’s words. Finally, she clenched her teeth and declared, "The person following you is Isabel Smith, who is my cousin. If you don’t know me, she must know me, right!"

Isabel thought it was incredible that Evelyn could rely on her at such a critical moment, even though she disliked her. Isabel didn’t have such a thick skin - if she truly despised someone, she wouldn’t lose her pride and seek protection from them.

Percy, whose lie was exposed, remained calm and composed. He raised his handsome eyebrows, looked at Isabel and asked in a very engaged manner, "Isabel, is she your cousin? How come I’ve never heard you mention her before?"

Before Isabel could answer, Percy put on a magnanimous expression and said, "If she really is your cousin, then there must have been a misunderstanding."

Just as Isabel was wondering how to continue with this act, Evelyn suddenly stared at her and snapped, "Isabel, you can’t lie about this too, right? I have an ID card, and these police officers can check it. We are in the same household register."

Isabel hated it when Evelyn spoke to her in that tone of voice. She pursed her lips and glanced coldly at Evelyn, then looked at the police, paused, and said, "Although Evelyn and I are cousins, we don’t have much interaction. Furthermore, she is the daughter of my Second Uncle’s wife, Carla Osbert, so our relationship is naturally distant. As for her, I can only say that I know her, but we are not particularly close. So I’m not really sure about what kind of person she is. Thus, I can’t vouch or bail her out, and I won’t get involved in the matters between her, Percy, and Raymond. I just hope that the police officers will handle everything impartially."

"So, you’re not really close cousins, just a burden brought by a marriage..." Percy’s face lit up with understanding as he nodded. Then he turned to the police officers and said, "Since Isabel said they’re not close, I don’t think they can act as a bail witness. Although Evelyn is from the Smith Family, it doesn’t mean she has no ulterior motives."

"As for me and my son, we don’t know Miss Evelyn."

Although Raymond was still young and didn’t quite understand what the adults were saying, he still vaguely sensed the situation.
