Chapter 177 - 177 189 She is My Unexpected (2)
Chapter 177: Chapter 189: She is My Unexpected (2) Chapter 177: Chapter 189: She is My Unexpected (2) Joseph Tucker frowned and couldn’t help but say, “Percy, it seems that you’re not just caring about your sweetheart now, you’re even managing her younger brother as well? What’s next? Turning into a master father figure?”
Having no choice…” Percy understood Joseph Tucker’s sarcasm, lowered his head with a faint smile. His face emanated pure beauty, like a rare flower that blooms in the late night: “People who really have nothing to do with me, it’s just that I can’t stand people and things that make her unhappy.”
Joseph Tucker laughed lightly, raised his hand, wanting to close the car door but heard Percy’s voice once again.
“Brother-in-law, why not issue a wanted notice and post Elijah Smith’s photo at the entrances of all major entertainment venues…”
Percy suddenly seemed to have thought of something, saying: “The slogan should say, ‘No pets or Elijah Smith allowed inside!'”
For a moment, Joseph Tucker couldn’t help it and laughed at Percy’s words.
Percy was leaning leisurely against the car seat, as if very satisfied with his decision, and nodded, saying: “To deal with a rebellious kid like this, soft tactics won’t work. Let’s try a tough approach instead. Anyway, he left Isabel Smith to those men, which irritated me. If it weren’t for the fact that he’s Isabel’s younger brother, I would have wasted him long ago. Now a warning like this would be good. All in all, I don’t mind wasting some money. Just post this message all over Main Street in Bellshire.”
Everyone goes through the rebellious phase. At Elijah’s age, what he cares most about is his reputation. Thus, Percy’s actions are akin to slapping him in the face!
Joseph Tucker laughed: “I understand. I’ll notify my men later.”
“Alright. Goodbye, brother-in-law.” Percy’s tone was languid as he said goodbye and added a reminder: “Brother-in-law, remember the slogan is ‘No pets or Elijah Smith allowed inside,’ and make sure to put ‘pets’ before ‘Elijah Smith.’ I want him to feel the humiliation of being ranked even lower than pets.”
…
Isabel Smith didn’t sleep well throughout the night. She finally dozed off in the early morning, only to be woken up by her alarm on her mobile phone after just three hours of sleep.
Remembering that today was her visit to the Smith family, she lost her sleepiness. She immediately went to take a bath, chose a dignified outfit, combed her long hair elegantly back, revealing a slender and pale neck.
After being slapped yesterday, her face had swollen but was reduced today, with only a faint red mark remaining. So, Isabel deliberately used some thick powder and applied slightly heavier makeup.
She had not touched her shares in the Smith family during the six years she’d spent in the United States. She had lived frugally and did not buy any jewelry. Thus, she could only choose an old set of pearl necklace and ear studs from her jewelry box after searching for half a day.
Isabel wore a pair of pearl-colored high heels, picked up a matching handbag, stood in front of the floor mirror, and carefully examined her appearance. Elegant, dignified, and captivating, she looked every bit the part of a young miss. She pulled a wry smile and got up slowly, heading out.
She took her mobile phone and thought about contacting Percy, but just as she stepped out of the door, she heard the door of the nearby room opening, and out came Percy in a formal suit.
Recalling their unpleasant parting the night before, Isabel felt embarrassed. So, she lowered her head and quickly locked the front door of their apartment.
Percy glanced at Isabel for a moment. He then stepped forward, walked to the elevator, and pressed the button.
When Isabel approached, the elevator door just happened to open. Percy stepped aside, holding the elevator door, waiting for Isabel to go in first. He then followed her in.
Isabel stood aside without any movement. Then, Percy leaned over and pressed B1.
