Chapter 805: Chapter 823: Misfortune of Being Just One Step Behind (13)

"Both involve jail time, but one gets out with five million to claim, while the other may never come out once inside... So, you choose."

Only the perceptive truly thrive.

At this point, Theodore Bundy didn’t know if Percy Stanton would keep his word, but for now, it seemed that obediently following Mr. Stanton’s orders was the best course of action.

So, without hesitation, he said, "Mr. Stanton, I will follow your instructions in all matters."

Percy Stanton said with satisfaction, "Good."

He stood up and walked towards the inner cabin, saying, "Land the plane."

Then to Tony, who was trailing him, he said, "Tony, prepare all the documentation. After the plane lands, contact the Thompson Empire Group’s legal team and formally charge Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert."

.......

As the old saying goes, life is like a play, and a play is like life.

Many times, when we watch the fascinating stories created by people, we may find them melodramatic or theatrical. However, more often than not, real-life events can be even more far-fetched and leave us speechless.

Just as Percy Stanton got his hands on the criminal evidence against Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert, once again smoothly after his discharge from the hospital, and was preparing to land the plane to give Isabel Smith a surprise, Elijah Smith put a plan he had been contemplating for a long time into action.

The weather was exceptionally good in Bellshire for the past few days, and today, the clear blue sky was filled with fluffy white clouds. The warmth of a breeze filled the air, and there were many couples on the streets. Girls had shed their heavy winter clothes and donned beautiful, attention-grabbing skirts. They were like little birds, walking by their boyfriend’s side, laughter lighting up their beautiful faces.

Elijah Smith drove the car to the doorstep of the Public Security Bureau thinking about Ella Adams, who was returning to Bellshire from Ravenwood City on a flight this afternoon.

This night is her birthday.

He had promised her a surprise.

In his heart, he knew that he would indeed give her a surprise. What kind, even he didn’t know...

He also imagined that if she was in Bellshire on such a beautiful day, she would definitely drag him along to Serenity Park for a walk or wander around Backsea. She would surely wear a beautifully tailored skirt, nestled by his side, her dazzling smile, every gesture speaking to onlookers of her beautiful love affair and her beloved boyfriend.

Elijah Smith slowly turned off the car, his head resting on the steering wheel for a long time before he finally raised his hand, fiercely wiped his face and picked up the school bag on the passenger seat. He then pushed open the car door and got out.

The outside temperature was just right, neither cold nor hot. He was wearing a checked shirt given to him by Ella Adams a few days ago when she had gone shopping at Harmony Department Store. It was a couple’s outfit; hers was a plaid skirt.

They hadn’t worn this matching set together yet. Today, as he lay on the bed, thinking for a whole day, finally gathering the courage to take action, he had even made a point of taking a bath, getting dressed up, looking refreshed and spirited. When he opened his wardrobe to choose his clothes, he saw this shirt and somehow put it on.

Elijah Smith raised his hand, adjusting his shirt. He then took a deep breath, glanced at the solemn red flag erected in the middle of the Public Security Bureau entrance, and walked in.
