Cannot Bear To Let Go Of My Rich Wife
Chapter 596 - 613: The Lights of the City Shine for You (6)

Actually, Percy could have skipped this dinner. He had no potential business collaborations with Robert Vincent, but he was pretty curious to see the appearance of Isabel Smith’s fiance, George Vincent. Thus, when Tony Williams nearly declined the dinner invitation, Percy intervened.

The dinner was held in a private club in Bellshire. After Percy arrived, he couldn’t find George. Percy felt that he had come in vain.

However, having arrived, he couldn’t just turn around and leave, especially when several business tycoons were making courteous remarks. In the end, Percy took his seat at the dining table, unable to refuse the kindness.

Upon taking his seat at the table, Percy saw Evelyn Osbert.

Percy had a sudden urge to stand up and leave.

The one who invited Evelyn to the dinner was Robert Vincent.

As soon as she stepped in the door and saw Robert and his wife standing side by side, she felt a sense of defiance common to all mistresses. After indignant seating at the dining table, she heard a voice respectfully greeting: "Mr. Stanton."

Out of curiosity, Evelyn Osbert lifted her head, and indeed, Percy Stanton was sitting right opposite her.

The man was handsome, elegant, and his high-end wardrobe accentuated his upright posture. Compared with the other wealthy men around him, he was several notches above.

Evelyn’s gaze was instantly fixed on him.

Not long ago, she, along with his son, were sent to the Public Security Bureau by him and stuck there for several days. Eventually, Robert Vincent bailed her out. During that time, she was upset and felt wronged. Looking at Robert’s aged, full face, and the less-than-half remaining black and white hair on his head, Evelyn thought, "Despite this man’s age, he came to my rescue in my time of need. He must have some sincerity for me. Percy Stanton may be handsome, but he doesn’t like me at all, why should I torture myself? Better to just stick with Robert."

After settling on this idea, Evelyn dutifully became Robert’s mistress.

However, just a few days after she started this peaceful life, seeing Percy Stanton again, the heart she thought had died, began to stir.

Especially in the following dinner, watching everyone being polite to Percy, Evelyn thought, "If I were with this man, why would I have to be polite to these people?"

Therefore, the stirring heart became eager to try, and Evelyn started to make her move. After a boss named Huang placed his wine glass down after toasting Percy, she also raised her glass: "Mr. Stanton, I toast you."

Percy Stanton also thought that a man needs face, just as trees need bark. Evelyn had suffered at his hands a couple of times and arguably understood his intentions. But seeing her suddenly raising her glass, toasting him, there was a moment when Percy admired her indomitable spirit.

Percy Stanton always knew what Evelyn was planning. He had never given her any opportunity before, but he was curious to see what she’d do next. So, with a heart solely to tease Evelyn, he slowly raised his glass and gently swayed it. However, just before his glass clinked with Evelyn’s, Robert Vincent laughed and said, "Mr. Stanton, you and Miss Evelyn are old acquaintances."

The people present also knew that Percy Stanton had once spent some time in Smith Corporation, so someone else chimed in and said, "Yes, speaking of familiarity, Mr. Stanton and Miss Evelyn are indeed the most familiar. They even worked together at Smith Corporation for a long time."
