Yet, it was this man who broke the myth of the Bellshire Commercial Area and reached an unparalleled height that no one else could attain.

He was like a legend, with a unique vision and resolute approach. He continuously won several impressive business battles, turning an insignificant small company into one of the top international corporations.

More importantly, he kept a low profile, never appearing in any finance channels or business magazines. Even when well-known companies tempted him with eight-figure annual salaries to switch jobs, he refused them outright, sticking to his five-figure monthly salary.

His choices shocked countless people while also arousing their curiosity about him!

It was such a mysterious man, coupled with his legendary achievements and quirky work style, that seemed like a dream of fleeting fame, blinding everyone's eyes and shaking their hearts.

It was because of this that Isabel Smith was determined to win over Percy Stanton!

Only such a legend could make her grandmother see her in a new light, so she could return to the Smith Family successfully, avenge her parents, and more importantly, have the money and power to find her child!

A glint of cold light refracted in Isabel's eyes as she lifted her chin with determination in her heart. No matter what, she had to make Percy Stanton sign her employment contract, even if it came at a heavy price.

Because she had to avenge her parents and find her child!

Though the sudden appearance of a child in her womb brought her countless misfortunes, only a mother who has gone through a ten-month pregnancy would know how much she's willing to suffer for her child.

Thus, this time, six years later, she had to succeed in returning to Bellshire City!

...

When Isabel Smith woke up the second day, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun, which was no longer scorching hot, penetrated the window at an angle, casting a crimson glow over the room.

Isabel lazily stretched before getting out of bed. After freshening up, she realized she was starving. Heading to the kitchen and opening the refrigerator, she found it empty, so she put on a casual outfit, grabbed her wallet and keys, and went downstairs to the supermarket.

Isabel chose her favourite foods, filling a large bag, and returned to her apartment building.

Isabel lived on the 18th Floor, and when she came out of the elevator, she noticed a young boy squatting in the corridor, playing a game on his mobile phone.

Each floor of the apartment had only two units, so Isabel figured the boy must be her neighbor's child.

The boy seemed to sense someone's presence and looked up at Isabel.

When Isabel saw the boy's face, her heart couldn't help but tremble. She had never seen such a beautiful boy before, even more delicate and stunning than girls of his age. As a result, Isabel couldn't help but take a few more glances at the boy.

The boy appeared somewhat embarrassed by Isabel's staring, so he turned his head away, his face going slightly red. As she unlocked her door, he stood up and called out, "Older Sister."

Isabel turned to face the boy, who blushed further and hesitated in front of her. After a moment of internal struggle, he clenched his teeth and said, "Older Sister, I lost my keys and my father isn't home. However, I really need to use the restroom now. Could I please borrow your restroom?"

Although the boy was young, his logic was sound and he spoke calmly. Isabel smiled gently and opened her door, saying, "Sure, come on in."
