Chapter 184: Chapter 196: She is My Unexpected Surprise (9) Chapter 184: Chapter 196: She is My Unexpected Surprise (9) Such a low-key and steady Percy was too difficult for Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert to understand. They could not figure out what thoughts were hidden in the heart of this young man.

On top of that, Percy had already become a legendary figure in the Bellshire business circle, and his actions at this moment added a layer of mystery to his entire persona.

Isabel took a step forward and gracefully walked to the front of the sofa. She first looked at Mrs. Smith and called out, “Grandma.”

Then, she slowly turned her head to gaze at Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert. Her eyes were warm and gentle, but her hands were already clenched into fists. “Uncle, Auntie,” she said.

Carla Osbert had always been good at dealing with people. Hearing Isabel’s words, she immediately put on a friendly smile, stood up, took Isabel’s hand, and pulled her to sit on the sofa. “Isabel, last time at the wine party, we didn’t get a chance to talk nicely. It’s been so many years since we last saw you. You look much prettier now than before.”

Isabel lowered her head, smiling slightly. But before she could speak, Mrs. Smith, who was sitting nearby, said, “The older Isabel gets, the more she looks like her mother.”

As Isabel lowered her head, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. In the next second, her gaze returned to the usual calm and gentle. She looked up at Mrs. Smith and smiled, saying, “Every child resembles their mother. Just like my father, I was just looking at his photo, and the resemblance between his brows and eyes and Grandma’s is quite striking.”

What is it like to harm your enemy at the cost of injuring yourself?

Isabel thought, presumably, it’s happening now.

She deliberately emphasized the words “my father.” The saddest people in the house were her and Grandma, who was her father’s biological mother.

However, even if she had to hurt herself, she would still remind them of her father, so as to cause some trouble for Sebastian’s family, lest they forget their past wrongdoings!

Isabel’s hands clenched tightly into fists, her body tense, and her gaze silently swept across the people in the room.

As Mrs. Smith was suddenly reminded of her lost eldest son, a trace of sadness appeared on her face, and tears started to well up in her eyes.

Sebastian, Carla, and Evelyn, who had already entered the living room, suddenly had a slight change in their expressions.

Percy was sitting beside Isabel. He clearly felt that after she said those words, her body stiffened slightly. However, he soon heard Carla ask the servant in the kitchen, “Is lunch ready?”

“It’s ready, Second Wife.”

Evelyn soon regained her composure. Seeing her mother change the subject, she hurried to Mrs. Smith’s side, put her arm around her neck, wiped the tears from her eyes, and sweetly coaxed, “Grandma, Sister Isabel has not returned for six years. Now that she’s back, it’s such a good thing. Why think about those sad and upsetting things?”

With Evelyn’s coddling, Mrs. Smith instantly beamed with happiness. Stepping in to help, Evelyn put her arm around Mrs. Smith and stood up. Whining playfully, she led Mrs. Smith to the restaurant, “Grandma, it’s getting late. Let’s eat!”
