Chapter 200: Chapter 212: Seeing with Eyes, Pleasure in Heart (5) Chapter 200: Chapter 212: Seeing with Eyes, Pleasure in Heart (5) Isabel Smith sat to one side, her heart feeling slightly at ease. She admired Percy Stanton’s ability to use the recent questioning of Carla Osbert and Evelyn Osbert about her and Percy’s relationship as an excuse for the current situation. She was relieved that Percy hadn’t agreed to let Evelyn be his boss.
In fact, Isabel didn’t know that Percy had his own plans. He didn’t know what deep hatred had occurred between her and Sebastian Smith’s family, but he could see that Carla Osbert and Evelyn Osbert were not friendly towards Isabel. On one hand, he stood up for her because he couldn’t accept her being wronged in front of him. On the other hand, he agreed to join Smith Corporation because he wanted to spend more time with Isabel while working.
Moreover, back at Starhaven University, the misunderstandings created by Evelyn made him not particularly fond of her. So, he would never consider cooperating with her.
At this thought, Percy’s eyes lowered slightly, the corner of his lips raised, his voice silky smooth but carrying a direct threat: “If I come to Smith Corporation, it won’t be to work with her. I think I need to reconsider whether or not I will join Smith Corporation!”
For Mrs. Smith, Percy was now the life-saving straw for the Smith Corporation. Although her granddaughter Evelyn held some weight in her heart, it was still far from comparing to her late husband’s lifetime efforts.
So, when Mrs. Smith heard Percy say he would reconsider whether or not to continue joining the Smith Corporation, she immediately put down the tableware in her hand. That moment, Mrs. Smith was inclined to protect Isabel, so she turned to Percy without hesitation, “Mr. Stanton, we can discuss everything. If you want to work with Isabel…”
Sebastian Smith seemed to know what Mrs. Smith was going to say next, and immediately interrupted, calling out “Mum!”
Mrs. Smith paused and didn’t speak again.
“Mum, Evelyn hasn’t made any big mistakes at the Smith Corporation. We can’t just demote her like this. If word gets out, it would be so embarrassing for her,” Carla Osbert said gently and softly. As she was speaking, she gave a look to her daughter Evelyn.
Evelyn immediately understood her mother’s intentions, her eyes instantly turning red, and with a crying voice, she called out to her grandmother, “Grandma—I know you like Sister Isabel, and she is indeed capable. She even invited Mr. Stanton. But Evelyn didn’t make any serious mistakes. If you demote me just for the company’s sake, how can I face working at Smith Corporation in the future?”
Isabel Smith lifted her eyelids and glanced at the stuttering Evelyn Osbert. She only saw that Evelyn’s face was pale, her lower lip lightly bitten, her big eyes filled with tears. It was exactly like the time when she first came to Smith Family and accidentally drank mouthwash instead of fruit juice. At that time, young and innocent, Elijah Smith had pointed it out, and she had stood quietly behind Carla Osbert, carefully holding onto her clothes, not making a sound. Back then, Isabel genuinely thought that Evelyn was a timid and weak girl, but later on, she found out that beneath this appearance, Evelyn hid layer upon layer of cunning tricks and schemes!
Mrs. Smith saw the pitiful look on Evelyn’s face and hesitated for a moment.
Mrs. Smith then glanced at the cold-faced Percy next to Isabel and hesitated for quite a while before turning to Isabel. In a half-negotiating tone, she carefully said to her, “Isabel, although Mr. Stanton is here because of you, and you do deserve a lot of credit, the business department has always been run by Evelyn. It’s not fair to push her out as soon as you arrive. Isabel, how about this? I’ll split the business department into two parts, with you in charge of one part and Evelyn in charge of the other. What do you think?”
