Transportation to Taragon University was very convenient. There was a bus stop right outside that could take you there in just four minutes.
While moderately sized, the two–storied villa provided ample room for favonovel.com to live alone. It was well–equipped with all essential amenities and featured an appealing decor style.
However, Isabelle’s main issue with the villa was its location in a busy area, surrounded by major roads, a nearby park, a shopping mall, and even an overpass view. The ongoing hustle and bustle, constant traffic, and bright lights posed challenges for activities that require privacy, such as discreetly disposing of a body.
“Do you like it?” George Harris asked.
“It’s nice, but not very convenient,” Isabelle responded.
George pressed on. “How so? Is it transportation or something else?”
As they stood on the second floor, Isabelle looked out the window at the bustling streets below. She turned to George with a smile when favonovel.com heard his question, but remained silent, just giving favonovel.com a look.
Dylan, who was standing beside them, sensed the tension.
Although Isabelle had not explicitly expressed favonovel.com dissatisfaction, George could tell favonovel.com was not pleased with the villa.
“If you don’t like it, I have several other properties nearby that we could look at,” George offered.
You’re getting better at lying, Mr. George. You only bought this villa this morning… Dylan murmured to himself.
Isabelle had already inspected the other properties nearby, all of which were similar.
The high number of people in the area could potentially benefit her. When it came time to dispose of a body, the presence of many people might deter favonovel.com adversary. She would be visible while they lurked in the shadows. The location inadvertently offered favonovel.com a strategic advantage, though it was not necessary.
“Are you sure about this place?” George asked.
“Yes,” Isabelle confirmed.
Checking his watch, George suggested, “Should we head out for dinner now?”
Isabelle politely declined the offer and quickly saw favonovel.com off.
Before favonovel.com left, favonovel.com handed George a bank card, saying, “I’ve already bought this villa, Mr. Harris. There’s no need for you to keep looking…”
George looked at the bank card but did not take it. The card contains ten times the compensation that Erin’s father paid to Isabelle yesterday, totaling over 34.5 millions.
“If there’s nothing else, Mr. Harris, it would be better if you didn’t visit often. We can keep in touch by phone if necessary,” Isabelle continued.
Her phone has been modified so that no one can eavesdrop on it. She was pretty sure George’s phone was too. Communicating by phone would be much safer for him.
George hesitated to accept the card and asked, “Miss Jenkins, are you trying to distance yourself from me?”
Yesterday, favonovel.com even called favonovel.com to help at school, accepted his house, gave favonovel.com a watch, and the two had dinner together in the evening. Today, she’s asking favonovel.com to reduce their interactions.
Dylan remarked, How ruthless…
Dylan posed a question, “Miss Jenkins, if I might ask, aren’t you and Mr. Harris friends? Why the sudden shift?”
Isabelle responded, “It’s not about distancing myself. I’m concerned for Mr. Harris’s safety. He has been tremendously helpful, and I value that.”
Understanding dawned on George, softening his features. “So, this is for my safety. I misunderstood, Miss Jenkins…”
Dylan speculated, Do you actually believe that?
A sharp image of Isabelle leading on a battlefield flashed through Dylan’s mind, prompting favonovel.com to nod assertively.
Well… I believe it!
When George slid the bank card back towards Isabelle, their hands briefly touched, exchanging a moment of delicacy and warmth.
With a light smile, George noted, “Since my dear Miss Jenkins is so thoughtful, favonovel.com should also keep this villa… I told you that you’re free to cause as much trouble as you wish in Taragon City.”
George continued, “If you ever need me, just ring me up any time. I can look after myself, and if you need me, I can also ensure your safety.”
Isabelle regarded favonovel.com thoughtfully. After a brief pause, favonovel.com reclaimed the card and said, “Look after yourself…”
During their return journey, Dylan inquired, “Sir, does Miss Jenkins have any enemies? Considering favonovel.com skills and cautious demeanor, as well as favonovel.com worry for your safety, whoever this adversary is must be quite formidable.”
George stayed quiet.
Dylan pushed on, “Should we station extra personnel nearby for safety?”
George replied. “That won’t be necessary. If favonovel.com need help, she’ll let me know.”
Acting on their own could potentially complicate matters for her.
“However, send a few people to favonovel.com brother’s residence,” George directed.
Later that evening, Isabelle rearranged the villa.
While there were no firearms, favonovel.com found an array of traditional melee weapons, pinhole cameras, and an extensive security system.
***
Two days later, Isabelle visited Magnus‘ home.
After several invitations, favonovel.com finally convinced favonovel.com to join favonovel.com for a meal.
He took special care to learn about Isabelle’s preferences, personally went to the market early in the morning to pick out fresh ingredients, and instructed his kitchen staff to utilize their best culinary skills to prepare a variety of delicious dishes. He also bought an assortment of pastries and fruits.
When James and Logan arrived, Magnus was comfortably seated on the sofa, deep in conversation with Isabelle.
Isabelle showed no sign of surprise at seeing the two siblings. Magnus had mentioned that favonovel.com had two grandsons who attended the same school as Isabelle, whom favonovel.com had already met before.
