Chapter 140: Chapter 152: It’s Easy to Dodge an Open Seduction, But Hard to Guard Against Hidden Pettiness (13) Chapter 140: Chapter 152: It’s Easy to Dodge an Open Seduction, But Hard to Guard Against Hidden Pettiness (13) “Seems like a slight fever…” Accompanied by Evelyn Osbert’s words, a rushed coughing sound ca from the other end of the phone call, followed by a clanging sound as if sothing had broken.
“Sis, wait for , I’ll be back now.” Elijah Smith extinguished the cigarette in his hand, casually tossed it into a nearby trash can, and turned back to his car without any hesitation. He started the engine and steered the car out of the parking lot.
Evelyn Osbert’s coughing continued for a while before she finally stopped, then she took a breath and said, “Elijah, I’m not that serious, don’t worry too much, drive slowly and be safe.”
“I know, Sis.” Elijah Smith hastily replied into his mobile phone and hung up. Just as his car passed through the paynt area of the parking lot, he glanced at the amount displayed above the card scanning area. He took out two pieces of change from the side and handed it to the charging person. He didn’t wait for change and stepped on the gas pedal, speeding out of the parking lot.
At the road in front, he made a U-turn just as he passed the main entrance of the Magnificent again. Elijah Smith rembered that he had left Isabel Smith inside, and his car speed suddenly slowed down.
But, it was only for a mont. He thought of Isabel Smith’s domineering and fierce deanor, and she might not necessarily suffer. Evelyn Osbert was different; she was always gentle and weak. Now she was sick and needed him to take her to the hospital.
With that thought, Elijah Smith stepped on the gas pedal again, and the car quickly passed the door of the Magnificent.
…
In the red Ferrari sports car parked opposite the main entrance of the Magnificent, Evelyn Osbert’s delicate face was exposed only after Elijah Smith’s car disappeared from sight, and the car window slowly ca down.
There was a soda bottle on the passenger seat, which had fallen there with a clanging sound when she smashed it against the car window earlier.
She stared at the flickering colored lights at the entrance of Magnificent, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and the corner of her lips curved into a sneer. She looked nothing like her usual gentle and delicate appearance in front of others.
If one were to ask Evelyn Osbert who she hated most in her life, she would undoubtedly say three words: Isabel Smith.
Just like Isabel Smith, she was also a daughter of the Smith Family, but their previous identities and treatnts were vastly different.
Her mother was a C-list minor star who had never been in a big movie and only played bit parts in films with poor box office results.
Her mother t Sebastian Smith, a year after his first marriage, in an accidental encounter at a dinner party.
To escape her miserable fate, her mother willingly beca Sebastian Smith’s mistress.
And she had been his mistress for thirteen years.
She was born in the second year when Carla Osbert beca Sebastian Smith’s mistress.
At that ti, Sebastian Smith had his eyes on the Smith Corporation and wanted to inherit the family business, so he dared not bring Carla Osbert and her back to Smith Family. Therefore, he gave Carla Osbert a lot of money to take care of them quietly.
For twelve years, her father was married to another woman, appearing in business magazines she could read, displaying affection with his wife.
Sebastian Smith did not treat her unfairly, he provided her with a lot of money to attend the best schools. Isabel Smith didn’t even know that they went to the sa school when they were in elentary school.
At that ti, Isabel Smith was very prestigious, with personal car pick-ups every day. On sunny days, soone would hold an umbrella for her into the classroom. On rainy days, soone would wear a raincoat, holding an umbrella, and escort her in and out of the school.
