Chapter 3: The Birthday Gift is a Son (3)

A moment later, Isabel Smith heard the door in the living room outside close, and the entire room fell into a quietness, a quietness that was somewhat cold, and a coldness that was somewhat frightening.

Originally drowsy and tired, she had lost all sleepiness. She just leaned weakly against the soft pillow behind her, slowly raised her head, stared at the ceiling, and began to daydream...

Her name was Isabel Smith, and the man who had just left was Percy Stanton.

She was his bed |-partner.

Yes, a bed |-partner, not even an ar|dent lover.

Because apart from their intimacy at midnight, in broad daylight, she had only met him once two months ago.

Actually, during that meeting she was seeking his help, but she ended up being "violated" by him.

Afterward, he arranged this residence for her, and she became his bed-partner.

She didn't know where he lived, or his private phone number, let alone his family background. She only knew that at night, he would appear here, engage in lovemaking with her, and then leave like he just did.

Of course, he didn't appear every day. Sometimes, he would show up every other day, and sometimes, he would disappear for days at a time.

So the two of them, one second might be affectionate and tender on the bed,- and the next second, they would go their separate ways with stable breath signals, just like strangers.

Two months have passed living like this, and the favor she sought from him has yet to be granted.

...

At this thought, Isabel's eyes became somewhat confused. If she hadn't been utterly desperate, she wouldn't have condescended to such an extent to become Percy's bed |-partner, nor would she have patiently waited for his approval and signed her contract in such good humor.

That contract, her employment contract for him, hoped that he would come to help her work. Only then could she return to the Smith family.

She was originally the Young Miss of the Smith family, full of a radiant halo, with countless people flattering her. At that time, she lived with her nose in the air, but her beautiful life was ruined on her eighteenth birthday six years ago.

First, on the day of her adulthood ceremony, her parents died in a car accident, and she escaped from the car accident by a mere chance. While in the hospital, she accidentally learned that her parents' deaths were not accidental but a premeditated murder.

Not long after she was discharged from the hospital and before she could take revenge, she mysteriously became pregnant. The reason why it was called a mysterious pregnancy was that she had never slept with any man, yet there was a child in her belly.

By the time she discovered the pregnancy, she was already three months pregnant, and due to her peculiar physical condition, she could not abort the child.

To protect the family's reputation, her grandmother sent her to the United States to give birth.

However, on the day the child was born, she didn't even have time to see the baby before it was taken away and sent to an unknown location.

Just like that, she had been exiled and alone in the United States for six years.

No one knew how hard these six years had been for her, who harbored such great resentment.

Until this year, she learned from an American business newspaper that the Smith Corporation was in a crisis.

Only heaven knew how excited she was when she saw the news. This was the opportunity given to her by the heavens to return to the Smith family!

She spent three days and nights in the United States researching information, and finally set her sights on Percy Stanton, the top operational genius in the Bellshire City Business District!

There was very little information about Percy Stanton online. Full Name: Percy Stanton, Gender: Male, Nationality: Chanaea, Graduate of Starhaven University Bellshire.

Truth be told, this resume was just too ordinary and unremarkable.
