If favonovel.com finds out I’m checking on her, favonovel.com will be unhappy, right?
From the first meeting, looking at favonovel.com from a distance through the car window, George could tell that Isabelle didn’t have a good temper. But, favonovel.com was still uncertain about Isabelle’s identity,
***
On the other hand, Dark Shadow had already thoroughly investigated Isabelle’s family background for up to three generations.
“Boss, we have investigated. This Ardon girl named Isabelle Jenkins has never left Norward City since childhood. She has never had any interaction with Blood Shadow. The Jenkins, including the past three generations and the current generation, are all ordinary people…”
“This girl had no remarkable traits since childhood until about three months ago, when favonovel.com suddenly underwent a drastic personality change, as if favonovel.com had become a different person. It’s really strange, but we haven’t been able to find any clues.”
The man referred to as the leader said, “Three months ago? That coincides with the time Blood Shadow died?”
“That’s right… Additionally, we found out something else. She is not the biological daughter of the Jenkins but rather of the Sullivans in Taragon City.”

Isabelle went upstairs, intending to return to favonovel.com room to rest, but favonovel.com encountered George in the hallway.
George prepared favonovel.com room so favonovel.com wouldn’t have to stay with White Owl and the others. His home was the quietest place in the God’s Armament Alliance, so Isabelle had no reason not to stay there.
“Mr. Harris, you haven’t rested yet. Are you waiting for me?”
“You’re a guest, Miss Jenkins. It’s only proper for me to wait a while.”
“You’re too polite, Mr. Harris,” Isabelle said as favonovel.com reached for the doorknob to open the door.
Upon hearing this, the man suddenly said, “The room is too big. Miss Jenkins, I would happily accompany you if you’re afraid to sleep alone.”
Isabelle’s hand paused on the doorknob, and favonovel.com turned to look at him, half–jokingly saying, “Mr. Harris, are you addicted to sleeping on the couch?”
“Well… If you need it, not to mention the couch, even the floor is fine.”
Isabelle withdrew favonovel.com hand, turned around, leaned lazily against the door with favonovel.com arms crossed, and looked the man up and down.
George felt a bit inexplicably scrutinized by favonovel.com subtle gaze.
The girl asked, “Mr. Harris, you can’t beat me, can you?”
“Miss Jenkins, what do you mean?” George thought of Isabelle’s fierce demeanor on the battlefield, kicking mercenaries one by one, and said, “There are probably not many people in this world who are your match, Miss Jenkins.”
Isabelle stopped smiling and replied, “Then aren’t you afraid I’ll break you?”
I could break right of you without even breaking a sweat with someone like you…
Hearing that, George smiled wryly. “Miss Jenkins, you really know how to joke.”
“You’re quite good at it too, Mr. Harris,” Isabelle said, then opened the door and went inside.
The Blackwaters planned to establish territory, recruit soldiers, and manage a large–scale project with many tasks, but fortunately, Isabelle didn’t need to worry about any of it.
George came out of his room and received a phone call from his nephew, Sam.
“Uncle George, I’ve finished up things here. I can depart for Melfrey this afternoon.”
Upon hearing this, George looked down at the girl sitting on-the sofa in the lobby below. He said to Sam, who had finished packing and was ready to depart, “You don’t need to come here. Just go back directly to the country. Take care of the company’s affairs for me.”
“But…” Sam was puzzled.
Just earlier, George said I should go to Melfrey for experience. Why the sudden change of heart?
“Any problem?” George asked.
“Nothing much, just one thing. Grandma has found a marriage for you, Miss Sullivan. She wants me to go to Melfrey to help you with things so you can return home early and meet Miss Sullivan.”
“I’m not interested in Miss Sullivan. Please convey my message to the family. You can go back.”
After saying this, George hung up the phone without waiting for Sam to respond. He then came down from upstairs.
Before favonovel.com could reach the sofa, favonovel.com heard a voice message from the girl’s phone, “Dear, one thing after another is happening here. I’m in Mehenya now, so I can’t come to Melfrey now.”
Then there was another voice message, “I heard you broke a record at the Duel Tournament. I can’t say you broke the record, as only a few people are rooting for you. I bought a few bottles of good wine to reward you. Dear, give me an address, and I’ll send it to you.”
It was the voice of a young man.
George slowly stopped in his tracks.
Isabelle replied with a voice message, “A few bottles might not be enough. I took a few bottles from someone the other day and still owe him.”
“Owe? Are those expensive?”
“It seems like there’s a bottle worth 90,000 dollars. The rest are cheaper–around 15,000 dollars or so…”
“D*mn! Have you gone bankrupt?” Yves exclaimed.
Then favonovel.com quickly added, “No… Dear, are you kidding me? Since when have you become so easy to take care of? Are you tired of delicacies and have you started eating simple foods? Aren’t you afraid of that 15,000- dollar wine hurting your throat? In the past, even if I soaked your feet in wine worth tens of thousands, you would have complained about the taste, right?”
George stood a few steps away.
The girl on the sofa suddenly changed from voice to text chat, typing on favonovel.com phone with favonovel.com head down.
