As soon as Isabelle got in the car, favonovel.com remembered something. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh no…”
George snapped out of his thoughts and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Sorry, Mr. Harris. I should have borrowed a car from a classmate instead of bothering you. Given your current situation, it’s not appropriate to ask for your help!”
He’s about to get engaged, and favonovel.com needed to steer clear of any potential misunderstandings. She hadn’t thought of it earlier. There were no flights to Norward in the next few days, and borrowing a car from George was the first thing that came to mind. After this trip to Norward, favonovel.com would find time to buy a car for herself to avoid inconveniencing others.
George’s formal tie suggests favonovel.com likely came straight from the office.
“What do you mean by ‘not appropriate?” George was puzzled.
Aren’t it always appropriate?
Furthermore, school has just begun, which classmate could be more suitable than me?
Given how long we’ve known each other, I should be the best choice…
Isabelle said, “Mr. Harris, you’re getting engaged, so it’s obviously not appropriate.”
“Where did you hear that rumor from?”
Isabelle raised an eyebrow and questioned, “Hmm?”
The question in favonovel.com eyes was, “Was that a fake rumor?”
Isabelle continued, “Aren’t you engaged to Ms. Sullivan?”
Hearing that, George explained, “My family did intend for a business marriage with the Sullivans, but I’ve made it clear I won’t agree to it. There’s no engagement, not even a beginning to one.”
After explaining, George expected Isabelle to say something or show a reaction that might please him.
Unfortunately, favonovel.com merely responded with a disinterested, “Oh…”
Dylan sneakily glanced at the rearview mirror.
Something’s definitely up… How does Ms. Jenkins hear about my affairs at school?
“Is that your special attention to a friend or neighbor?” George took the initiative to strike.
Unexpectedly, Isabelle was blunt. She replied, “Don’t get the wrong idea… It’s what people are dying at school… Danny even said you’re the man his sister rejected, not me.”
Hearing this, George was speechless.
Dylan in the driver seat, struggled to hold back his laughter.
Can they not make me laugh?! My injuries haven’t fully healed, and it hurt to laugh!
It was the first time someone had ever told the boss to his face that he’s someone else’s reject. This was wild!
Only Blackwater’s leader could do that!
George took a deep breath, grinding his teeth slightly, and chided, “Ridiculous! Did you believe it?”
Isabelle shrugged and said, “Uhm… I just found it amusing…”
You used to take pleasure in observing me in uncomfortable circumstances…
Her response rendered favonovel.com at a loss for words. George changed the topic, asking, “Why are you in such a hurry to go home? I came in a hurry, and we might need to buy a gift on the way.”
“That’s not necessary. It’s better to feed it to the dogs than to buy it for them,” Isabelle replied.
“Is your relationship with your family that bad?” George asked.
Isabelle briefly explained how Layla had stolen favonovel.com work and claimed it as favonovel.com own.
George had initially identified Isabelle’s handwriting as the solution’s author. He hadn’t told Principal Burton because Isabelle didn’t seem interested in claiming the title of ‘math genius. He hadn’t anticipated it would lead to this impersonation issue.
“Is Ethan going to be okay? Should I arrange for a helicopter to get there faster?” George suggested.
“He’ll be fine. He’s their son, after all.”
Eleanor would blame Isabelle for anything, but while favonovel.com was a shrew, favonovel.com might not actually harm Ethan. Despite this, Ethan certainly couldn’t stand up to Eleanor on his own.
Isabelle realized what George had just said.
Is Ethan going to be okay?
She glanced at George and thought, Ethan is my brother. It sounded like favonovel.com thought Ethan is part of his family…
George thought to himself that favonovel.com should have had Dylan investigate Isabelle’s family background.
Isabelle wasn’t a saint, but favonovel.com wasn’t heartless either. The fact that Layla had impersonated favonovel.com they how strained favonovel.com relationship with favonovel.com family must be.
George genuinely wanted to see what kind of people made up Isabelle family.
“You mentioned you should have borrowed a car from a classmate… Who?” George asked.
“Danny… That guy has plenty of cars…”
It’s that Danny guy again…
George suspected that the cheap watch Isabelle wore might even have come from Danny.
“How did you end up hanging out with that kid?”
“He’s quite loyal…”
That’s high praise… Should I remind that kid about something?
Before favonovel.com could, Dylan, who had no sense of timing, decided to join the conversation. “Ms. Jenkins, I heard you rescued me when Isaac kidnapped me. But I didn’t see you among the rescue team. Can you tell me what happened?”
Dylan had been in the hospital in Melfrey and returned to the country a few days ago.
After asking George, favonovel.com found out that Isabelle had saved him. However, when favonovel.com inquired about the method. George remained silent.
George leaned closer to Isabelle, his shoulder brushing hers. George whispered. “He’s a top hacker and idolizes you. If you don’t want to be pestered by him, it’s best not to admit it…”
