Chapter 192: Chapter 204: Isabel Smith, You Bandit (5) Chapter 192: Chapter 204: Isabel Smith, You Bandit (5) This proud woman, one day, would resort to such a method to keep her younger brother and save her own face.

Percy Stanton couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart, but he felt he couldn’t continue eating this meal. He wanted to stand up, take Isabel Smith by the hand, and leave.

Their every move was provoking Isabel, but it was also provoking him, Percy Stanton.

Especially when the piece of fish in Isabel’s hand fell on the dining table, Percy couldn’t stand it any longer. He picked up his tableware, grabbed a piece of fish, and directly put it in Elijah Smith’s bowl.

Isabel Smith and Elijah Smith both looked up at Percy Stanton.

With a calm expression on his face, devoid of any emotion, Percy stretched his chopsticks to the fish, grabbed another piece, put it in Isabel’s bowl, and didn’t forget to pick the fishbone off the fish. Then, he softly said to her, “Be careful, don’t get pricked.”

Isabel bent her lips, struggling to speak. She lowered her head and silently ate the fish.

Elijah Smith, however, looked at the piece of fish in his bowl. His throat rolled for quite a while before he finally glanced at Percy and said, “Thank you!” He then lowered his head and forcefully ate the fish in his bowl.

Perhaps because he was eating too quickly, he accidentally choked on the fish. However, he stubbornly pressed his lips together, not letting the fish in his mouth be spit out. Instead, he swallowed it bit by bit.

Percy Stanton, holding his tableware, watched the brother and sister’s reaction. He couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart, but he felt suffocated, as if someone had punched him hard in the chest. Various forms of depression made it hard for him to vent.

He thought that perhaps his temperament was shared by all the members of the Thompson Empire Group. They couldn’t stand the slightest insult and couldn’t bear to see the people they cared about being insulted. So, he glanced at the four people eating in the harmonious atmosphere when he suddenly looked up at Evelyn Osbert. His tone was soft and pleasant, but his words were deliberately asking: “Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, Madam Smith, I wonder what your precious daughter’s name is?”

For Percy Stanton, who was now considered the lifesaver of Smith Corporation.

Although Mrs. Smith was in charge of the Smith Corporation, she still gave some face to Percy Stanton. Even more so, Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert gave him face after Percy asked about their daughter. Sebastian felt a burst of joy and thought Percy had taken a liking to his daughter. He immediately answered, “My daughter’s name is Evelyn.”

“Evelyn?” Percy slowly repeated the name, one word at a time.

His tone was pleasant. The name “Evelyn” left his lips with a strange charm.

Evelyn couldn’t help but let her face turn red. She had never known that her name, uttered by someone, could sound so pleasing to the ear.

She couldn’t help but turn her head and shyly glance at Percy with the corner of her lips slightly raised. She quickly bowed her head, looking like a young girl experiencing her first romantic feelings.

Percy caught every detail of Evelyn’s movements in his eyes. There was no change in his expression, but he looked at her for a while until she became uneasy. Then, he asked, “Miss Evelyn, I wonder if I may ask you a question?”

Evelyn was secretly delighted, thinking that after all these years, the poor kid who once wore knockoff goods finally fell under her pomegranate skirt. Regardless of how he was in the past, he was now the most valuable person to the Smith Corporation, not to mention that Evelyn quite enjoyed having men become infatuated and obsessed with her.

So, she immediately looked up at Percy and said softly, “Mr. Stanton, you’re being too polite. Feel free to ask anything you’d like.”
