Chapter 716: Chapter 734: The Most Surprising Conjecture (7)

Everything had come to an end, with no room for turning back.

He avenged his parents’ deep hatred and protected Isabel Smith for the rest of her life.

Twelve years of effort had brought these results, and Elijah Smith felt that it had been worth it.

...

Bellshire’s annual charity banquet was, in fact, the biggest auction event.

Business tycoons from all around the world would set aside time to attend such auctions.

Percy Stanton attended representing Thompson Empire Group, and naturally, Isabel Smith represented Smith Corporation.

Tony and Secretary Emille were already waiting at the entrance of the Auction House Building. When Percy and Isabel arrived, Tony and Secretary Emille quickly stepped forward and followed their respective bosses inside.

The auction was held on the thirtieth floor. They took the elevator straight to the charity banquet venue, where the dazzling lights had already been lit, and the media’s cameras were flashing constantly.

Such banquets would be attended not only by local enterprises but also by out-of-town enterprises. So, in such a grand venue, both people they wanted to see and those they didn’t want to see naturally gathered together.

Having been focused on accompanying Raymond Thompson recently, Isabel hadn’t had much time to interact with people in the Business Circle. Usually, after handling the company’s affairs, she would spend most of her time with Raymond at the Kindergarten.

As for Percy, being a man with a high sense of pride, he didn’t bother himself much with the gossip related to people with whom he had no business dealings.

So, as they sat down and saw Evelyn Osbert walking gracefully into the banquet hall with Robert Vincent, it caught Isabel and Percy’s attention and momentarily halted their conversation.

"Isn’t that Director Vincent? Is the young woman next to him the one he divorced recently and is planning to marry?"

"Yes, she’s Charlotte Green, the wife of the second son of Smith Corporation. She now carries an Oil Bottle!"

"Smith Corporation? That’s not bad either. How did she end up marrying an old man like Robert Vincent? Besides, his first wife had supported him from their humble beginnings, climbing up from selling vegetables on the streets."

"And doesn’t he have a son? I’ve seen him before, quite a good-looking boy. But I wonder how he feels about his father marrying a stepmother who’s even younger than himself?"

As she listened to the comments of those in the know around her, Isabel felt deeply shaken.

She truly never expected Evelyn Osbert to marry into the Vincent Family during her parents’ ongoing investigation by the court.

Nonetheless, Isabel couldn’t help but feel curious about the thoughts and feelings of Robert Vincent, who had left his first wife for Evelyn Osbert.

George Vincent had also come, but he had kept a low profile and hadn’t attracted much attention before finding his seat. The distance between him and where Robert Vincent and Evelyn Osbert were seated formed a remote diagonal line, as if they were miles apart.

His appearance looked terrible, and though he was neatly dressed, there was an palpable air of desperation around him.

...

Right before Elijah Smith got into the police car, he received a phone call from Ella Adams.

It was their first contact since they had parted on bad terms on her birthday.

Elijah knew Ella’s character – daring to love and daring to hate, not one to drag her feet or tolerate any form of betrayal – so he couldn’t imagine them being together again after how he had betrayed her.

Therefore, when he suddenly received her phone call, Elijah was slightly taken aback. It wasn’t until the police officer on the side reminded him that he realized he should pick up the call.
