Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 153 Old Friend Dylan thought. Miss Jenkins, why are you so suicidal? Jim was bewildered.

Jim glanced at her. "When did that happen?" George was feeling suspicious, and when he heard what Isabelle said, his first thought was that she was trying to cover for Jim.

But seeing Jim's urgency, he realized a bit late that Isabelle's words accidentally confirmed something. Then he smirked slightly, getting calm and collected.

Isabelle explained, "During summer break in Melfrey, Mr. Harris was there for business, so I tagged along." Jim asked. 'Doing business in Melfrey?" What kind of shady deal is this? George said. "Strange, isn't it? Miss Jenkins was also on vacation in Melfrey at that time." Jim thought. These two are playing skind of guessing game.

What's this girl keeping from him? "Haven't told you, but this house is Mr. Harris's. He's bothered, so you better leave," Isabelle added. Jim was shocked.

Giving a glance at the satisfied George, he was confused. "Short on cash or housing? Why stay in someone else's place?" Referring to George as "someone else" seemed to irk him a bit Isabelle said, "Not short on anything, just arrived right on time." Jim felt an inexplicable frustration, like wishing for something unattainable. “Is that all?" Since when did you becso casual about owing favours? George timely stepped in to-show magnanimity. "It's not that I mind, just that it's a matter of propriety. With us being alone together and this place being close to the school, it's easy for rumours to spread. If you need accommodation, I have several properties nearby. You're welcto stay anytime, Mr. Carter." "Mr. Harris is indeed considerate," Isabelle remarked.

Jim looked at Isabelle, puzzled.

He couldn't shake the feeling that Isabelle was favouring George.

"It's tto head to the airport-let's schedule another meeting. Reach out if you need anything.” Jim said to Isabelle, getting ready to leave.

George stood up. "I'll see you off 1/3 89% Chapter 153 Old Friend With the house being his, he felt confident.

Dylan thought, What a move turning the tables.

Jim glanced at George with a subtle smile on his face. "No need to bother." He glanced down. "Nice watch you've got there" George casually adjusted the watch on his left wrist with his right hand, glancing at Isabelle. "It's a gift from Miss Jenkins." Jim. “It's quite valuable. Mr. Harris, make sure to keep it safe.

Make sure Yves doesn't see it.

I've got a good temperament, but Yves doesn't.

Naturally, George sensed there was an underlying meaning in his words, but couldn't quite figure it out.

Watching Jim left, George turned back and found Isabelle on the sofa, lost in her world, eating her porridge.

George settled back into his seat. “Mr. Carter said you're an old friend of his?" Isabelle said. "Do you think using eighteen?" the term 'old friend' isn't quite right for someone like me, who's only George replied. "It might not fit for others, but if it's Miss Jenkins, it works." Isabelle smiled, appreciating George's keen observations.

So, as if granting him a reward, she said, "If there's a chance, I'll reintroduce him to Mr. Harris." What does she mean by that? If I don't misinterpret it, is she suggesting that she'll discuss her matters within the future? With this thought, George left feeling satisfied.

On their way back.

Dylan couldn't contain himself any longer and asked, "Mr. George, is there anything specific you wantto look into?" That was the heir to the underworld they were discussing.

Dylan could understand if Isabelle knew a mafia boss who accepted her as a leader in the world of mercenaries.

However, when it cto the idea of 18-year-old Isabelle being an old friend of the young master of the underworld, Dylan struggled to wrap his head around it. He could overlook his curiosity about how a girl who had never left Norward City could possess such formidable skills and courage, know about Melfrey's affairs, and even have unclear connections to the former leader of the Blackwaters.

But Dylan couldn't shake his curiosity about the relationship between Isabelle and Jim.

Sbold ones even asked when she could invite Jim to the school again for a lecture, as they hadn't seen him yesterday, Isabelle's popularity at Thragon University completely overshadowed several others, including Danny and James. Danny crunning to her, all excited.

"Boss, did you get the money?" "Yeah, what about you?" Danny asked, "Me? What about me?" Isabelle said. "Watched the dance?" Danny almost choked on his saliva.

"A-Are you kidding me? How could I be that kind of person? Besides, Gom who'd want to watch Bella dance that N kind of dance? With her washboard figure, watching her is nothing compared to watching myself."

He eagerly approached again, acting like a sidekick. "Boss, the National Day holiday is/around the corner, it's a full seven days. Any plans?” Isabelle replied, "Not sure yet."

Danny brightened up upon hearing this. "Not sure? That means there's hat means there's probably something happening, right? What is that? Can I join?" Send Gifts 382 X
