Chapter 141: Chapter 153: It’s Easy to Dodge an Open Seduction, But Hard to Guard Against Hidden Pettiness (14) Chapter 141: Chapter 153: It’s Easy to Dodge an Open Seduction, But Hard to Guard Against Hidden Pettiness (14) On the co-pilot seat lay a soda bottle, which had been thrown there when she smashed the car window monts ago, making a clattering sound.
She stared at the flickering multicolored lights of Magnificent’s entrance, a layer of coldness flashed in her eyes, and a sneer hooked at the corner of her lips. She was nothing like her usual gentle and delicate appearance when facing others.
If you were to ask Evelyn Osbert who her most hated person was in her lifeti, she would definitely say the three words without hesitation: Isabel Smith.
Like Isabel, she was also a daughter of the Smith Family, but the difference in their status and treatnt was vast, with a world of difference.
Her mother was a third-rate, small-ti actress who had never starred in a blockbuster film and only played bit parts in box office flops.
Her mother t Sebastian Smith by chance at a dinner party two years after his first marriage.
In order to escape her miserable fate, her mother willingly beca Sebastian’s mistress.
And she was so, for as long as thirteen years.
Evelyn was born in the second year of her mother, Carla Osbert, being Sebastian’s lover.
At that ti, Sebastian was eyeing control of the Smith Corporation, so he dared not bring Carla and her back to the Smith Family. Instead, he gave Carla a large sum of money and discreetly raised her.
She had been living like that for twelve long years. In those twelve years, her father was the husband of another woman, frequently appearing in business magazines she would co across, displaying affection with his wife side by side.
Sebastian didn’t mistreat her, giving her a lot of money to attend the best schools. Isabel didn’t even know that they were schoolmates back in elentary school.
In those days, Isabel was very prestigious, being chauffeured to and from school. During sunny days, soone would carefully hold an umbrella for her as she entered the classroom, and on rainy days, soone would wear a raincoat and escort her to and from school under an umbrella.
And she could only stand in the corner, watching her cousin, who was a year older and yet of the sa level as her, bask in the lilight.
At that ti, the Smith Corporation was at its peak, and Isabel made the highest donations to the school. Teachers treated her very politely.
Isabel was beautiful and excelled academically. She received many honors and privileges at school. During many Monday flag-raisings, she would stand under the national flag, representing the entire student body and delivering speeches.
No one knew just how envious she was of her cousin back then, envious to the point that she really wanted to get to know this adored cousin of hers.
However, before she could approach Isabel, her thoughts were stifled by a slap from her mother, Carla.
At that ti, her class happened to have physical education with Isabel’s class. After school, she walked out of the school gate together with Isabel. Before she could strike up a conversation with Isabel, her phone rang. She had no choice but to stop and answer it, hearing her mother urging her to hurry ho. When she got ho, Carla hurled a slap at her without any further words, accusing her of having the audacity to walk alongside the Young Miss of the Smith Family. Was she not afraid that the Young Miss would discover that she was the illegitimate child of the Smith Family?
Although she was young, she followed her mother, a woman skilled in calculations and started learning a bellyful of sches and tricks.
