Chapter 592: Chapter 609: The Lights of the City Shine for You (2)

Percy Stanton went with Isabel Smith to pick up Raymond Thompson this afternoon. They almost had a car accident, and suspicions were already forming in his heart. But he didn’t expect everything to happen so quickly. Actions were taken again tonight.

With enemies in the dark and Isabel in the open, Percy did not bother asking for her opinion. He just drove her straight back to his apartment.

As for who the enemy was, Percy knew it very well in his heart.

Isabel also knew very well that this was not a simple case of a burglary.

Actually, Isabel had long thought that this day would come. But she didn’t expect that Sebastian Smith’s family, who had just been stripped of their power by Mrs. Smith, would be so impatient that they wouldn’t even try to fight back and would directly resort to such violence.

Isabel thought that the operation she had been preparing for since her time in the United States should officially begin now.

That operation had formed in her mind three years ago.

It was the best revenge plan she could think of, and after returning to China, she had been working hard to lay the groundwork for that revenge plan.

Now things were progressing more smoothly and rapidly than she had imagined. She managed to gain control of the great power of the Smith Corporation, forced Sebastian Smith’s family into a desperate fightback, and also allowed her revenge plot to unfold as she wished.

As Isabel thought about this, she slightly turned her head, opened her eyes, and looked outside the car window. The early morning neon lights were brightly lit, occasionally brushing past her cheeks.

Through the rearview mirror, she could see Percy’s handsome and indescribable face. He looked somewhat cold and aloof, and she wondered what he was thinking. As she stared at him, she became lost in thought, and her memories of her time with Percy slowly surfaced. She suddenly realised that many of her thoughts and actions had been subtly diverted by Percy without her knowing.

If it hadn’t been for tonight, where her life was almost taken, she thought she might have still held back on the plan, unwilling to execute it...

...

When they arrived at Percy’s apartment, Isabel took a comfortable bath and rested on the bed. Percy suddenly asked her, "Isabel, I’m so sorry that I wasn’t the first one by your side when you were in danger today."

Although the police were arranged by him, he still felt regretful.

Isabel opened her sleepy eyes and, with a half-joking smile, asked, "What if the police didn’t arrive, and I was killed by the criminal? What would you do then?"

Despite having narrowly survived, this hypothetical question still turned Percy’s face somewhat pale when asked.

He had not hesitated to consider this problem when he was driving to find her. But each time, he would only start thinking about it and immediately stop, not having the courage to finish and diverting his thoughts to something else.

Now that Isabel suddenly asked this, Percy’s demeanor became bewildered for a moment. After a long pause, he whispered, "I promised to be with you, even in death, I would accompany you."

Such touching words contain a life-long commitment.

Isabel’s heart was slightly moved but sank immediately when she thought about the vengeance plan she had to carry out.

As if afraid that Percy would grasp her thoughts, she quickly closed her eyes, curled up in the quilt, and turned over, giving the impression that she could no longer bear her exhaustion and needed to sleep.

Percy vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Isabel, but after carefully observing her for a while, he couldn’t find any clues.

He stared at Isabel’s peaceful face as she slept. After a while, he thought he might have been too sensitive and decided to turn around and head to the bathroom to freshen up.

...

When Percy came out of the bathroom, Isabel was already fast asleep on his bed.
