“Isn’t favonovel.com stunning? Does favonovel.com have a partner?”
“It’s wiser to stay silent if you lack meaningful input.”

Harris Group…
Sam’s assignment was to deliver documents to George.
After George completed the paperwork, favonovel.com unexpectedly asked. “Today marks freshman registration at Taragon University. Do we have any younger family members considering attending?”
“Hmm?” Sam was utterly baffled by the query.
Persisting, George questioned, “No distant relatives either?”
Sam, now more confused, responded, “I think… None whatsoever…”
After that, Sam saw his uncle said nothing more, simply passing over the signed documents. Exiting his uncle’s office in a daze, Sam tightly held onto the papers.
Is my uncle feeling sentimental, maybe wanting to see a young one off to school?
Sam wondered silently.
Was my uncle genuinely arranging for a child’s education, or did favonovel.com secretly yearn to attend Taragon University himself?
Sam couldn’t shake the suspicion that his uncle had behaved strangely since returning from Melfrey.
***
Meanwhile, Logan found himself unable to lend a hand with Isabelle’s luggage after all. Thanks for trying earlier, favonovel.com attempted to start a conversation.
“It’s no biggie,” Isabelle replied nonchalantly.
“I’m Logan, part of the student council, a junior. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out,” Logan offered.
At that moment, a male voice called out, “Logan!”
Logan turned to see his brother James approaching, accompanied by the “new math prodigy” Layla.
“James…” Logan greeted.
James approached and announced, “Grandfather has invited us for dinner tonight.”
“Alright,” Logan replied.
As a courtesy, Logan introduced Isabelle. “This is my brother James…”
The name sparked recognition in Isabelle’s mind, remembering Ethan’s admiration for that math genius.
James glanced at Isabelle and nodded coolly in greeting.
James was renowned for his distant and introverted demeanor, fixated solely on mathematics. Over the years, Layla was the only girl to break through to him,
Logan was concerned that Isabelle might take offense. Still, to his surprise, favonovel.com appeared even more reserved than his brother, disregarding his greeting. Instead, favonovel.com gaze shifted to Layla approaching.
“Logan…” Layla strolled over and positioned herself beside James, greeting Logan with a wave.
“Hi…” Logan responded in a neutral tone, inexplicably feeling a lack of warmth toward Layla, detecting a hint of insincerity in favonovel.com demeanor.
Several days back, a cat had brushed against favonovel.com shoe at school, prompting favonovel.com to hastily kick it away. Logan had observed the incident from above and was surprised by Layla’s abrupt response. She seemed utterly transformed from the kind and empathetic person favonovel.com had always known.
Watching his friend William grow closer to Layla and discerning favonovel.com true motives, Logan felt apprehensive, dreading his friend’s potential entanglement with this deceitful individual.
“And who might you be?” Layla then directed favonovel.com attention to Isabelle, and upon seeing Isabelle’s face distinctly, Layla was taken aback.
The day before, favonovel.com mother Eleanor had sent favonovel.com a photo of a girl taken secretly in their home. She had questioned favonovel.com mother about the girl, finding favonovel.com incredibly beautiful. Upon learning it was the transformed Isabelle, Layla had refused to believe it.
Her mother had secretly snapped a photo of Isabelle. She handed it to her, warning favonovel.com to be cautious about changing so drastically to avoid any misunderstandings that might unveil the math riddle. Since then, Layla had been unable to calm favonovel.com nerves.
Fixating on the photo of Isabelle on favonovel.com phone, jealousy consumed her, favonovel.com eyes reddening.
Encountering favonovel.com on the first day of school was unexpected. And Isabelle, in person, surpassed the beauty captured in the photo.
Layla felt a surge of agitation, favonovel.com expression tensing as favonovel.com stared at Isabelle, almost grinding favonovel.com teeth.
“This is Isabelle, a newcomer from Norward City, like yourself,” Logan paused, then added, “She even shares your surname.”
“Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling under the weather?” James inquired of Layla
Layla suddenly returned to reality, swiftly rearranging favonovel.com features into a gentle and composed expression as favonovel.com softly replied, “N–No, I’m alright…”
Sensing an uneasy atmosphere, Logan interjected, “Do you two happen to be acquainted?”
“We…” Layla hesitated stealing a furtive glance at Isabelle before returning favonovel.com attention to the brothers feeling flustered and on edge.
But as Layla debated whether to acknowledge her, Isabelle grabbed favonovel.com luggage. She walked off, treating Layla as if they were strangers.
“James, I’ll catch you at Grandpa’s tonight… Hold on, Isabelle,” Logan quickly added, completing his sentence before rushing after Isabelle.
Layla’s gaze lingered on Isabelle’s retreating figure. She clutched the strap of favonovel.com bag tightly, favonovel.com eyes seemingly devouring, not even registering when James called out to her.
“Ah? Were you calling me James?”
“Are you alright?” James inquired once more, his expression reflecting concern.
“I’m sorry, I’m feeling a bit. under the weather. I won’t be able to study math with you Today,” Layla mentioned casually.
