Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 46 Meet Up Kimberly was captivated by the mesmerizing sight in front of her. She turned to Isabelle with a confused look, asking the waiter, “Excuse me, I didn't quite catch that. She's your VIP?" The waiter replied, "Yes," Kimberly chuckled, "Con, sweetie, wake up and smell the coffee. Can she really be your VIP? Are you still dreaming?" She couldn't resist laughing as if she had heard a hilarious joke. "Miss Jenkins is definitely a VIP at our hotel, Madam, replied the waiter, flashing a smile.

"Could you open the wine, please?" Isabelle requested the waiter.

"Sure thing." The waiter uncook the wine and poured it into a tall glass for Isabelle.

Bat she stopped him when the waiter was about to pour it into her glass. Instead, she picked up the wine, bypassed Ethan, and placed the almost untouched red wine in front of her father. She said, "You've put in a lot of hard work throughout your life. You deserve to drink something good." Isabelle abstained from drinking, not because of her respectability, but due to the wine's poor quality. which she found unpalatable.

Additionally, she couldn't bear the smug expressions of her supposed relatives, who deemed themselves. superior and dignified. However, they were nothing more than buffoons.

Suddenly, the waiter addressed Isabelle as Miss Jenkins, which left William stunned.

He looked at the red wine that had been brought to Isabelle and waved his hands in fear, "I don't drink." He didn't dare to touch it.

How much did the waiter say this wine cost? Twelve thousand? William was curious to know if the money they were using was the sas his own. He looked at Isabelle cluelessly, but Layla could sense the question on his mind.

"Hey Ethan, have you and Isabelle caten here before?" Layla inquired.

Isabelle had brought Ethan to the top-floor private room before, and he couldn't resist mentioning it. “Yeah, Isabelle broughthere," he said.

How much money does this wealthy Isabelle have? She has designer clothes, shoes, new phones, and computers. Not to mention the fifteen thousand dollars worth of medicine. With all this, she can easily dine in fancy restaurants and buy expensive wine. Even the wealthiest uncle in her family doesn't spend as extravagantly as she does.

As Layla thought more about it, she started feeling increasingly uneasy.

"I didn't know you and Eleanor found the fortune. How cyou didn't tell us? We're family, after all," inquired Kimberly, curious as ever.

"We didn't have money. We've never been here before. It's the kids who chere and ate, replied William, being honest.

1/4 11:23 Sat, Jun Chapter 46 Meet Up "The kids? Where did they get so much money?" Aunt Kimberly's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Isabelle. “It's okay if you're poor, but don't resort to illegal activities like stealing and robbery. If people find out, it will ruin our reputation too." "It's funny how when you're rich, people say you're doing business, but when we have money, it's stealing and robbery. So, only you can becwealthy? Should we stay poor for the rest of our lives?" Eleanor never backed down from an argument, and she immediately responded, Tm sorry. Eleanor, I misspoke earlier. Please don't take it personally. But let's say you and William stumbled upon an opportunity to becwealthy. Why didn't you bring your family along? I believe that if we have money, we should all benefit together. I even lent money to Ethan for their tuition fees. Don't you think that counts for something?" Kimberly sneered, trying to take advantage of the situation.

William hesitated, unsure of how to respond. "Well, this..." he began.

But before he could finish, Kimberly interrupted him. "You were always the most honest one among us. Why don't you cclean and tell us you've made smoney?" "Yep. William," the rest of the group echoed.

William flashed a helpless smile. I'm afraid that's not my forte. Isabelle is tech-savvy enough to operate a computer and earn money off it. These things that youngsters do, they fly over my head." "Wait, are you saying she made money using a computer?" Suddenly, Kimberly's youngest son climbed onto a chair, stood up, and pointed at the pastry before Ethan, saying, "Mom, I want to eat that." Kimberly immediately scolded him, asking, "What do you want to eat?" Upon hearing this, Ethan moved the pastry to the turntable and spun it around to show Kimberly's son.

The child reached out and took a piece of pastry from the tray. Seeing this, William picked up expensive red wine and offered everyone a drink. "Con, let's have a toast," he said.

the But Isabelle interrupted indifferently. "They're all successful businessmen. They've tasted this wine before. Don't be so generous. Save it for yourself." William felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do with the wine.

Hearing Isabelle's words, the others present looked unhappy, especially Kimberly. She saw her youngest son taking another piece of pastry and Eleanor's smug expression.

Kimberly quickly snatched the pastry from her young son's hand and scolded him harshly, "Have I ever let you go hungry at home? You should know better!" The child, who was only four or five years old, burst into tears immediately after being scolded and his food taken away.

Kimberly's scolding only grew thore intense, causing her to becangrier. She then turned to her eldest brother's family and warned them, "William, don't say I didn't tell you. Making an honest living online is not easy. Be careful not to fall victim to scams. Nowadays, many young girls are resorting to selling naked photos to borrow smorfey. Swealthy older men take advantage of them. Make sure Isabelle doesn't get involved in anything like that." 2/4 73%8 Chapter 46 Meet Up When hearing this, William immediately worried for Isabelle, as he was concerned that she might fall prey to online scams, Meanwhile, Layla secretly wished Isabelle's money had cfrom selling naked photos.

Isabelle responded lightly, "To sell naked photos or have a sugar daddy, you need assets, right? But even if it were free, no one would want it for an old auntie like you with sagging skin and a face full of wrinkles." Despite being infuriated by Kimberly's words, Ethan couldn't resist laughing.

"I can't believe you just spoke like that," Kimberly slammed her hand on the table. "You're actually proud of stripping for money at such a young age? Do you think that brings honour to our family? I've wondered why you've changed so much since losing weight." Kimberly's loud shouting caught Timothy's attention as soon as he entered the main entrance.

He stood in the lobby and looked at his troublesson lingering outside the door with disdain.

As the commotion continued, Timothy instinctively saw the uncultured Kimberly.

He was about to look away when he suddenly spotted a familiar face among the crowd at the table.

However, as Kimberly's scolding becincreasingly unbearable, Eleanor couldn't tolerate it and stood up to argue.

Kimberly's oldest son stepped up to protect his mother, pointing at Eleanor and warning her fiercely, "If you insult my mother again, there will be trouble." The argument soon escalated, with Tom siding with his wife and accusing Isabelle of indecency and. stripping for money.

William, who was usually quiet, couldn't bear to see his daughter being bullied. Even a cornered rabbit will bite, he thought to himself. In a sudden burst of emotion, he slammed his hand on the table and stood up to confront Tom, saying, "Don't go too far with your words, Tom!" However, seeing the situation spiralling out of control, the others intervened.

Despite their efforts to calm the situation, they naturally sided with the Tom family, suppressing the less fortunate William family.

Isabelle sat there quietly, observing the absurd behaviour of the Jenkins family with a blank expression on her face.

As the argument between Kimberly and Eleanor becincreasingly heated and the tension between the Jenkins brothers intensified, Isabelle's impatience and frustration grew more intense.

Just as all the emotions reached a boiling point, a solid middle-aged male voice suddenly interrupted "Isn't this Miss Jenkins?" Timothy, dressed in a sharp suit and leather shoes, with a square face and an authoritative look, slightly overweight, wearing glasses, exuded an aura of power that couldn't be ignored. Timothy's presence effortlessly calmed the scene within a few seconds.

The Jenkins family fell silent, and all eyes turned to Timothy, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"Mayor Foster, Ethan said. Anxiousness and worry a fight might break out and his family would suffer 3/4 Chapter 46 Meet Up that once resided in his mind suddenly vanished when he saw Timothy's arrival. "Mayor?" Sean instinctively echoed.

Kimberly was stunned. She looked at Ethan, then at Timothy, wondering if she had misheard.

"Mr. Jenkins, it's been a while since we last met." Timothy said with a smile as he warmly shook hands with Ethan and engaged in small talk.

He scanned the room, meeting curious eyes, then turned to Isabelle and said, "Miss Jenkins, what am coincidence, you're also here for dinner? Why are you eating in the lobby? I've reserved a private room upstairs." Timothy warmly invited Isabelle to join him for dinner upstairs. "Mr. Foster, what are you up to? We've been waiting for you to cup," Deputy Mayor Sanders called out as he brought his son, Mike, to greet him.

Bob quickly brought his daughter Nella down to join them.
