Chapter 81 Kidnapped
Seeing Jack continue talking, Dylan asked, “Did you and your boss just meet?”
Jack asked, “What’s the matter?”
Dylan replied, “You’re practically identical. Your boss also talks openly and turns the conversation around with mine every time.”
Jack chuckled.
Dylan added. “I must admit that you speak the Cheshian language quite well.
Jack replied, “Of course, I learned it specifically for my boss.”
Dylan inquired, “Miss Jenkins?”
Jack answered, “No Name.”
The two went to the mine and looked around, but nothing major happened..
However, something unexpected happened on the way back.
Isabelle sat on the edge of the room’s window, looking at the scenery with a bottle of red wine, passing the time.
Suddenly, he saw a group of people hurrying not far away.
She took another sip, then set the bottle down on the window ledge.
She stepped out and went downstairs.
Just as she stepped out of the gate, she bumped into several people hurriedly.
“What’s going on?” Isabelle stopped someone and asked.
The person glanced at Isabelle, hesitating whether to tell her.
Isabelle spoke up again, her tone carrying a hint of authority.
The person naturally knew about Isabelle’s dominance in the Duel Tournament and felt intimidated by her. Moreover, Isabelle’s relationship with their boss was far from ordinary.
So when Isabelle asked, the person instinctively replied, “Dylan got into trouble on the way back from the
mine.”
After saying that, the person hurriedly walked away.
When the person reached the control room, he noticed Isabelle had followed him.
He didn’t dare say anything of chase Isabelle away, so he pretended not to notice and continued his
business.
Isabelle walked in and saw a control room filled with advanced electronic equipment. Over a dozen.

Chapter 81 Kidnapped
With a casual glance, she saw that the screens were densely packed with data.
“What exactly happened?” Isabelle asked the person next to her.”
This person’s position in God’s Armament Alliance should be second only to Dylan’s, so he had some authority in the control room.
“Se far, it looks like unknown individuals kidnapped Dylan. We are currently tracking Dylan’s location.” The person paused, then tinued, “Everyone in God’s Armament Alliance has a locator implanted under
their skin.
Isabelle’s initial reaction was to think that was quite a bold move.
She asked again, “What’s the situation now?”
“The perpetrator is using a jammer, making it difficult to track. Dylan is the best computer technician we have here, but Dylan…
Isabelle recalled the confrontation that night. Dylan? Could it be that Dylan was a hacker before?
Isabelle remembered their encounter that night. Dylan? Could it be that the hacker before George was Dylan?
I didn’t see that coming!
But shouldn’t George be the best technician?
Where’s your boss? Isabelle asked.
Isn’t it a matter of minutes for George to take action? Look at how serious they all look!
“Our boss went abroad.”
Isabelle then remembered that George had gone out, as he had just spoken to her this morning.
She was upstairs at the time, and George was downstairs. Before he left, he specifically went upstairs to tell
her.
She wished him a smooth journey then, but she felt it was inexplicable.
At that moment, someone said, “The kidnapper is calling”
The person quickly operated the equipment and then answered the call.
The voice of the kidnapper came through the computer. “If you want this guy’s life, have George come alone to Montana, Spioya. I’ll meet him tonight!”
The kidnapper was cautious and used a voice changer.
But even with the voice changer, Isabelle could still detect a slight Southeast Ardon accent in the kidnapper’s poor foreign language.
It was Isaac.
The kidnapper hung up after finishing his statement.

Luckily, the technicians managed to trace the kidnapper’s phone. Although the kidnapper used a jammer, they could detect a faint signal.
After some effort, they managed to pinpoint the location of the kidnapper’s phone.
“The signal is moving rapidly and is currently located in Sankas. Barring any surprises, they are likely heading towards Spioya. We can’t confirm if Dylan is in their car.”
“Let me give it a try,” Isabelle spoke up.
Everyone in the control room finally noticed Isabelle.
They quickly glanced at her and continued their tasks, clearly not taking Isabelle’s words seriously.
you
At the control panel, a person with an air of authority frowned deeply. “Who let her in? Don’t know this is a restricted area?”
Isabelle also frowned slightly, looking displeased at the person.
If it weren’t for her blowing up Isaac’s village, which implicated Dylan, and with George absent, she wouldn’t have been bothered.
White Owl and Badman rushed over as soon as they saw Isabelle. They said, “Jack’s in trouble.”
Isabelle was about to call George when White Owl and Badman rushed over, saying Jack was in trouble.
“Jack went to the mine with that person named Dylan.”
White Owl had just learned that Dylan had gotten into trouble and had gone to the mine with Jack. Now, both of them were missing.
Chapter 82 Hacker X
When Isabelle heard this, she quickly put her phone back into her pocket and grabbed a nearby technician by the chair.
The technician was a Rissuan man about 1.8 metres tall, so Isabelle could pull him by the back of his neck with one hand and carry him aside.
After staggering for a moment, he steadied himself. He looked up to see Isabelle sitting in his place, her hands on his keyboard.
He angrily said, “What are you doing? Stop it right now! You’re not allowed to touch this computer.
The Rissuan man spoke very quickly and fluently.
Isabelle turned around and coldly said in Rissuan language, “Shut up!”
The man hesitated for a moment, then saw his code on the screen being messed up. He rushed forward angrily to grab Isabelle.
White Owl and a few others decisively stopped him. “Don’t move. Behave yourself!”
The two groups faced off, creating a standoff.
Seeing the situation, the person in charge of the control console immediately slammed the table and stood up in a rage.
“You all want to die, don’t you? How dare you cause trouble in the God’s Armament Alliance? Get these people out of here right now!” he shouted at the person Isabelle had called over.
The man was very hesitant. The people in the control room seldom left and might not have been familiar with Isabelle Jenkins.
But he knew.
He glanced at Isabelle, sitting in the chair, hesitating to speak.
eeing that the person didn’t follow his orders to remove Isabelle, the person in charge of the control console grew even angrier. “Get out right now! Do you hear me? If Dylan’s rescue is delayed because of you, your lives combined won’t be enough to compensate!”
Just then, a technician shouted, “We’ve located them!”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look, only to see the technician, who had just shouted excitedly, staring at another computer.
And sitting in front of that computer was none other than Isabelle.
Her hands moved so fast that they made anyone dizzy. On the screen, a car model appeared, and inside the car’s trunk, a red dot flashed and moved quickly.
This red dot was the tracker on Dylan’s body that they couldn’t locate, no matter what
She managed to do what a dozen or so professional technicians couldn’t accomplish in less than two

Chapter 82 Hacker X
Even though there was no signal, how did she manage to do it?
The person in charge, who had just been angrily demanding Isabelle leave, took a few hurried steps forward. As he approached and looked closer, his mouth involuntarily closed shut..
“Dylan is in their trunk. Has anyone been sent over?” Isabelle asked as she typed on the keyboard.
The person Isabelle had brought over snapped out of their daze and quickly replied, “We sent someone to pursue them as soon as we located their vehicle.”
Isabelle’s hands moved quickly. “Increase the manpower. I want to make sure my team is safe.”
“Got it,” the person said, pulling out his phone and immediately carrying out the order.
Even though they had already located the person, all they had to do was track them down, but Isabelle was still operating. What more did she need to do?
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Isabelle and the constantly changing computer screen in front of her for a
moment.
No one noticed that an extra person had entered the control room.
Standing at the back of the crowd, a tall man entered the control room without a sound. His dark eyes were fixed on the girl.
Isabelle used the location of Isaac’s phone, which she had just located. After a few operations, she easily invaded Isaac’s phone and successfully implanted a virus to listen in.
Except for White Owl and their group, almost everyone present was a professional.
Listening in on the other party’s phone wasn’t difficult for these professionals. The challenge lay in doing so when the other party was using a blocker.
What amazed and impressed them was Isabelle’s technique and speed of operation.
They had never seen such stunning operations before. There were several steps that they couldn’t even
derstand.
Her skills were probably on par with Dylan’s.
Behind the crowd, George watched every move of the girl’s operations closely.
So, it really is her.
Back at Magnus‘ house, he saw the prescription that Isabelle had left for Magnus. From the handwriting on the prescription, he guessed that Isabelle was the mysterious internet platform moderator who solved the math problem without revealing her identity.
He further speculated that Isabelle was the mysterious hacker who had clashed with him that night through the screen.
However, he had never been able to confirm it for sure.
Now, seeing it with his eyes, George finally confirmed that the mathematical genius Magnus was looking for was indeed her and that the person who clashed ith him that night was indeed her.

Chapter 82 Hacker X
No one could have imagined that the genius Hacker X, who outshone countless others, would be an eighteen–year–old girl.
Soon, with Dylan and Jack on their way to Spioya, Isaac received a call from the Hurricane’s leader.
And on Isabelle’s side, she successfully listened in.
The Hurricane’s leader shouted anxiously at Isaac over the phone, “You bast*rd! The God’s Armament. Alliance people are coming after us! How did they know our whereabouts? You better tell me where Dr. Seely is!”
Hurricane is involved in looking for me to heal his hand as well? Isabelle’s mouth curled into a cold, mocking smile.
“The God’s Armament Alliance found you? How is that possible?” Isaac couldn’t believe that the God’s Armament Alliance could track them down so quickly.
Chapter 83 How Dare He Harm My Team
The driver suddenly looked tense and shouted, “It’s the God’s Armament Alliance!”
Isaac heard the commotion and immediately leaned out the car window to look up, only to see helicopters
overhead.
“Don’t ask questions! Tell me where Dr. Seely is!” The Hurricane’s leader yelled as his men drove frantically, with the God’s Armament Alliance troops behind them.
The Hurricane’s leader didn’t get the answer he wanted. He could only hear Isaac swearing and then abruptly hanging up the phone.
Just as Isaac hung up on the Hurricane’s leader, a strange and unfamiliar number suddenly called in.
Isaac didn’t hesitate and immediately hung up.
However, he found that he couldn’t hang up. Immediately after, his phone strangely lost control, displaying a series of garbled characters. After that, the call connected automatically, and the speakerphone turned on itself.
Before Isaac could figure out what was happening, he heard a girl’s voice coming from his phone.
The voice on the other end said, “You stupid thing, you messed with the wrong person. I’m the one who blows up your crappy village.
Isabelle spoke calmly with headphones on.
She was speaking in Smiozdiya, and only one present understood–George. He heard it and couldn’t help
but smirk.
Isaac was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his head to look at the car behind him.
In the car trunk behind them was Jack, Isabelle’s subordinate.
Before Isaac could exact his revenge on Jack, a mortar shell fell from the sky, and the God’s Armament Alliance forcefully intercepted the car behind them.
Only their car remained, continuing to flee.
The girl’s voice came again, very low.
It was like a demon whispering in his car, “Back in Southeast Ardon, I should have let Yves gouge out both. of your eyes.”
Isaac suddenly widened his eyes. A chill rushed up from the soles of his feet, creeping up his spine and spreading through his limbs, making him shudder with dread.
After speaking, Isabelle took off her headphones and stood up immediately.
The people surrounding her all took a step back, looking at her with complex expressions.
But seeing the admiration in their eyes for Isabelle was not difficult.

Isabelle looked coldly at the person in charge of the control console. The person felt ashamed and embarrassed, lowering their head in silence and not saying a word.
Isabelle withdrew her gaze and unexpectedly locked eyes!
George behind her.
She instinctively lowered her voice for that last sentence. He shouldn’t have heard it, right?
But what difference would it make even if he did hear it?
Would he believe it even if I told him directly that I was Blood Shadow?
Who would believe in something as bizarre and unrealistic as soul reincarnation?
At this moment, the person Isabelle had brought over said, holding their phone, “We’ve rescued everyone.”
Isabelle shifted her gaze away from George’s face and said in a low voice, “Bring Isaac back.”
How dare he harm my team!
Soon, Isaac, the Hurrican’s leader with his disabled hands, and their group of henchmen were all brought to the God’s Armament Alliance.
Isaac’s head was half covered in blood, likely from being hit by a mortar shell, which made the scar on his neck even more gruesome.
From the looks, there probably wasn’t much unblemished skin left on his whole body.
Isaac and the Hurricane’s leader were bound and thrown in front of George, Isabelle, and the others.
Isaac, who had always been strong and accustomed to dominating, stood up from the ground despite his Strug
The next moment, he was kicked hard in the knee pit and fell heavily back to the ground.
He groaned in pain, gasping for breath frequently.
In his line of sight appeared a pair of shoes. He looked up and saw a beautiful face.
In just a month, the chubby girl had completely transformed into a different person, now slim and fit.
However, Isaac, usually passionate, had no impure thoughts. He even ignored George beside him and, facing Isabelle’s unfamiliar but now slim face, asked the question on his mind, “Who are you?”
Nervousness and fear of the unknown made him swallow nervously. The previously clean half of his face was visibly pale.
Isabelle crouched down, admiring the fear in Isaac’s eyes. Her lips curled slightly as she casually said, “I’m the one who blew up your village
Both of them spoke in Smiozdiya.
White Owl and the others were completely baffled, but they could feel Isaac’s deep fear for Isabelle emanating from the depths of his soul.
They were nuzzled. This person dared to confront God Imament Alliance so why that he afraid of Isabelle?

Isaac stared into Isabelle’s eyes, and that gaze was very familiar.
But that was impossible. From their appearance to their height, there was no resemblance at all. They were two different people.
“You and that Ardon…” What’s the relationship between her and Yves?
Before Isaac could ask, he saw Isabelle raise her hand and immediately felt a slight prick in his throat, as if he had been stabbed with a needle.
And when Isaac tried to speak again, he couldn’t make a sound.

Fear gripped him as he watched Isabelle close in. With his limbs failing him, he fought his way towards the exit, consumed by dread.
Badman, feeling a wave of relief, backed away from his weapon.
Just as he approached the door, someone barred his way.
A set of feet stood in front of him, and as he looked up, he met the girl’s nonchalant face.
She squatted down, gently asking, “Need Dr. Seely to check out your hand?”
He looked intensely in her direction.
Bowing slightly, she drew nearer, her crimson lips parting to murmur. “That’s me.”
Hurricane widened his eyes in shock, despair crashing over him like a tidal wave.
He stopped fighting, his energy drained, and his head dropped lifelessly.
Isabelle employed a silver needle to silence his voice, then directed White Owl, “Get some medics here. Keep them breathing until Jack returns to handle them.”
Turning to Isaac, she remarked, “Make sure they stay alive, and sort out the rest.”
“Nice shot. George snagged the gun. Isabelle tossed his way.
“Sweet piece, Isabelle commented.
“If you fancy it, it’s yours, George offered, passing over the gun he’d carried for years.
Just like earlier, the gun was aimed at her with a polite gesture.
Isabelle politely refused, saying. Thanks, but no thanks,” and then proposed, “Now that Mr. Harris is back, why not pitch in?” She observed from the sidelines.
George appeared puzzled, stating, “I don’t see where I fit in. Is Miss Jenkins pointing fingers

Isabelle remained silent but pressed on. “Even a modest act of goodwill can result in a significant return, not to mention an act of saving a life. Is it not sensible to ask Mr. Harris for something?”
George hesitated, considering whether to point out that Dylan’s current predicament stemmed from Isabelle’s destruction of Isaac’s stronghold.
Nonetheless, she might contend that even if she hadn’t demolished it, Isaac’s motives were sinister, and a showdown with God’s Armament was unavoidable. A collision between the opposing factions was destined
to occur
With a playful glint in his eyes, George quipped, “Miss Jenkins, what’s on your mind? If it’s within my reach, feel free to spill.”
Jack, confined to casts on both legs, experienced a pang of remorse as Isabelle and White Owl drew near. He averted his gaze, sensing like a mischievous child.
White Owl had warned him earlier that God’s Armament was the property of another, and he had to behave accordingly. However, he still trailed behind God’s Armament’s chief assistant to the mine, leading to a considerable disturbance.
“Is it painful?” Isabelle broke the silence with her first words.
Jack glanced at her and mumbled, “I’m a mercenary, not a kid. What’s the significance of this?”
Isabelle gave a nod of confirmation and signalled for White Owl and Badman to pull down Jack’s pants.
ck was startled, hastily grabbing hold of his pants and gazing at Isabelle with a fearful look. “What are you going to do?”
White Owl and Badman exchanged a quick look, and without uttering a word, they promptly commenced their actions, with one restraining his hand and the other lowering his pants.
Jack’s furious shouts and embarrassed cries resonated throughout the ward.
“Please lower your voice in the hospital,” Isabelle gently prompted.
“Hey Jack, your legs are white!” Badman joked, tugging at Jack’s striped pants, chuckling, and revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
Jack hurled insults at Badman, continuously uttering the same expletive. The unfortunate foreigner seemed clueless about proper swearing.
“Isn’t it a bit funny? A full–grown man like you acting all shy? Weren’t you still rocking your undies?” Isabelle chuckled, swiftly snatching the blanket to shield his decency.

“Boss, you’re into acupuncture? Are you a physician? Our previous boss used to.“White Owl caught sight. of George at the doorway and cut himself off.
“Quit squirming. I’ve prepared something helpful for you. I’ll provide it when you leave,” Isabelle assured, beginning to insert needles into Jack’s leg.
Jack blushed and expressed his disinterest in receiving anything helpful.
“They’re genuinely useful tools, granted by God’s Armament,” Badman remarked cheerfully to Jack.
In response, Jack cast him a glare filled with bitterness.
Following a few needle insertions from Isabelle, Jack was astonished to discover that the intense pain had diminished, prompting him to stop resisting and look up at his leg.
This acupuncture therapy brought memories of No Name flooding back to him.
His eyes involuntarily darted towards Isabelle.
Throughout the day, Isabelle remained at George’s mansion, which resulted in Jack seldom encountering her, sometimes even deliberately steering clear of her. The most recent sighting he had of her was more than a week ago, and after several days of her absence, he observed that his recent boss… had slimmed down and appeared even more captivating.
Following Isabelle’s final needle application, she asked, “How do you
feel?
“Come on, spill it. How’s it feel?” Badman eagerly questioned, having previously observed No Name’s acupuncture techniques and found them quite impressive. He never anticipated the new boss to possess the same skill.
Do all individuals from Cheshian have this capability? It’s as enigmatic as martial arts.
thinking about that, he realised the pain in his leg had vanished. The relief he experienced was much
than any pain medication, and it worked quickly.
“No more pain,” Jack declared.
In response, Badman stooped down to examine the needles in Jack’s leg, but Jack rebuffed him with a scornful expression, commanding. “Get lost.”
Isabelle glanced towards the door where George stood and asked, “Mr. Harris, have you already visited Dylan this fast?”
Before George’s footsteps reverberated in the hallway, Isabelle detected his presence. She mused inwardly. Well, he’s a trusted ally and shares Harris‘ surname. Maybe there’s some distant connection. Why the rush for a brief visit? Why not just make a video call from home?
“I’m done, George declared.
Noticing what George had brought, Isabelle, sensing an unusual empathy, suggested, “If needed, I can also provide some acupuncture for Dylan.”

Jack was determined to exit the hospital, a choice Isabelle endorsed.
Before departing, she contemplated paying a visit to Dylan. She comprehended the rationale behind his confinement.
She planned to assess his state.
However, George intervened, Just a minor injury. No need to visit.”
Consequently, Isabelle went back.
Upon returning to God’s Armament, Jack stepped inside and promptly started demanding to inspect the goods. As soon as he glimpsed the crates of cutting–edge firearms, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

Badman handed Jack a Desert Eagle. “Keep this. Don’t be upset with me and White Owl. The boss ordered. us to remove your pants, we dare not disobey

“Are all these brand new gifts from God’s Armament? They must be worth at least three million dollars, right?” Jack sat in a chair, looking at the dozen boxes on the ground.
“The boss said so, so we didn’t spend any money on weapons. It’s great that the issue is resolved,” Badman saich
A few days later, Isabelle received a text from Taragon University, informing her about the new student orientation boot camp.
After taking a look at it, Isabelle asked George, “Mr. Harris, when are you planning to return to your country?”
“When you will come along with me.”
Isabelle raised an eyebrow at him.
“I rarely stay in Melfrey for long these years, besides for the Duel Tournament, this should be the longest I’ve stayed.” George’s family had called several times asking when he would return.
Isabelle knew he never stay at a place for long, otherwise, those people wouldn’t fail to investigate hist background.

ever, it was normal when they thought about Isabelle’s age. But, it felt awkward because a mercenary was becoming a student.
Instead of going to a training school, they wondered if Isabelle was going to be the kind of student who wears a neat uniform and takes notes seriously while listening to lectures.
“University students don’t wear school uniforms,” Isabelle corrected and recalled something.
“I don’t think I’ve ever told you guys that I’m still a student.”
The Blackwaters were at a loss for words.
“I scored 690 on the college entrance examination,” Isabelle said proudly.
The Blackwaters looked at each other. There was nothing like university or college entrance examinations in the northwest of Melfrey.

“Yes, I wonder which university will be daring to accept our boss.
“She probably doesn’t like blowing things up like No Name, right? It’s illegal to blow up schools, isn’t it?”
“I believe that she poses a threat to the school as long as she’s there.”

Some even turned to look at her after passing by, guessing that she might be from a wealthy family.
Ethan had never met someone so beautiful in the small town of Norward City. He looked away and continued to wait at the exit.
Chapter 87 The Beautiful Girl
Suddenly, Ethan felt someone standing beside him.
The beautiful girl from earlier was standing next to him. He was unsure if she was looking at him because her sunglasses were covering her eyes.
Ethan looked around and saw everyone’s eyes on him.
He became the center of attention because of the girl.
She reached out for the bouquet.
Ethan stepped back instinctively.
“Do you need something?” He asked nervously. He didn’t know if his face was flushing because of the girl or the scrutiny from everyone.
Did I change that much? Isabelle wondered and removed her sunglasses. “Aren’t these flowers for me?”
Ethan looked at the girl with delicate features before him in disbelief. Isabelle was quite chubby when she left, and she had a big transformation.
He tentatively called out, “Isabelle?”
Ethan scrutinized her from head to toe and exclaimed, “Are you … are you really my
sister?”
“Who else would I be, your brother?”
Isabelle took the bouquet from him.
Ethan still couldn’t believe it. He knew Isabelle would look better after losing weight, but he hadn’t expected her to look so pretty.
He had only seen people who looked good on TV. But, his pretty sister was standing before him now.
E
happy for Isabelle after the shock.
Since young, others including relatives had been taunting Isabelle’s appearance.
He could relate to her because they insulted him being a cripple too.
“It’s been so long, do you want a hug?” Isabelle offered.
Without hesitation, Ethan hugged her tightly while calling her name.
He couldn’t hide his happiness at all. Meanwhile, George saw Isabelle being embraced tightly by a young man after he brought Isabelle’s luggage.
Isabelle must have allowed that, otherwise, he would have gotten a beating from her.
Firstly, she had rich friends who affectionately called each other “baby“, and now a young man is here with flowers.
She surely had many friends of the opposite sex.

Chapter 87. The Beautiful Girl
George recognized the young man as the one who was walking alongside Isabelle the first time he saw her
from the car window.
Ethan broke the hug and looked at Isabelle’s face once more. “What have you been doing for the past two months?
“Losing weight and traveling.”
Ethan nodded. “Where’s your luggage?”
A deep voice was heard, “Her luggage is here.
Ethan looked up to see a man standing before him. George was towering at six feet, clad in a suit exuding an oppressive aura. The several men in black behind him made Ethan think of the bodyguards on TV.
The people around them were intimidated by them.
Thanks to Isabelle, the most influential person that Ethan had encountered was the city’s mayor. Compared to George, the mayor was clearly outmatched.
George had his hand in his pockets while gripping the luggage handle with another one.
His stern looks might evoke fear in people.
George extended his hand and introduced himself.
Ethan did not shake his hand. “Sis, who is he?”
George raised an eyebrow slightly and he became friendlier as he withdrew his hand. “You’re Isabelle’s brother?”
“I met him while traveling.” Isabelle introduced George.
George glanced at her and nodded.
Ethar oubted Isabelle’s words. Then, Isabelle introduced him to George, “This is my younger brother.”
George said in a friendly tone, “Nice to meet you. Sorry for not bringing a gift for our first meeting, I will make it up to you next time.”
Why would he give me something? We don’t even know each other. Is this the way the rich socialize? He’s just mentioning next time to be polite. I doubt that we will meet again. Ethan thought to himself.
Isabelle reached out for her luggage and handed it to Ethan.
Seeing Isabelle’s actions, George thought that she didn’t like the design.
He specially chose it for her, thinking that she would like it since it was pastel pink.
But, Isabelle was not the average girl.
She didn’t even want to touch it.
“The flight back to Taragon City is at 3 PM. Miss Jenkins, aren’t you inviting me for a cup of tea at your house?” Georør said. He had already instructed his in to mrenare a pift for the house visin

“I can book a hotel for you, it’s on me,” Isabelle said.
George had no choice but to accept it.
“Trust me, you wouldn’t want to come to my house. It’s too shabby for a person like you”
He definitely wouldn’t want to see Eleanor being snobbish,
“Well, see you in Taragon City.”
Chapter 88 It’s My Sister
Isabelle handed the sunglasses back to George. “We’ll see.”
Then she left the airport with Ethan.
George watched them leave by cab.
Isabelle noticed that Ethan was stealing glances at her with his hand in his pocket. ‘Do you have something for me?” Isabelle asked.
Ethan paused and pulled an elegant box.
Isabelle opened it, and a vintage green ladies‘ wristwatch was lying inside. It was better looking than her luggage.
“Why did you hesitate to give me this?” Isabelle asked as she try on the watch.
“I’m afraid that it isn’t worth much to you,” Ethan scratched the back of his head.
Ethan bought the watch with the money he earned from his part–time job. He knew that Isabelle was rich and the watch only cost more than a thousand dollars. It was something cheap to her. Ethan felt that his gift wasn’t worthy of her after seeing her beautiful transformation.
Ethan glanced at Isabelle and saw her putting on the watch. Her pretty side profile made him shy.
“It’s lovely,” Isabelle said.
Ethan was beaming with joy inside his heart.
“How’s your foot: Isabelle asked.
Ethan rolled up his pants.
He said excitedly. “Look, Mom and Dad said that I’ve improved a lot in walking, and I’ve grown an inch
taller.”
He knew that his crippled foot would affect his height, but he had grown taller than 5’5 feet.
You’re getting better, Isabelle commented,
Ethan’s mental health had changed for the better. Back then, he would never roll up his pants outside.
“By the way, Layla also got into Taragon University and she went to Taragon City to enroll a few days ago,” Ethan mentioned.
Isabelle wasn’t bothered by it.
The Jenkins Residence was renovated. They had rebuilt the courtyard walls and replaced the front gate.
“It’s Mom.” Ethan spotted Eleanor.
Eleanor looked ten years younger after dressing up nicely and putting on makeup. She was chatting and laughing with the neighbors as they walked home.

Eleanor enjoyed it when the neighbours flattered her.
When they reached the door, Eleanor finally noticed Ethan and a beautiful girl behind her.
“Hey, Ethan, is this your friend?”
Eleanor kept scrutinizing Isabelle.
She thought that Isabelle was a pretty girl from a rich family.
“Mom, it’s my sister.” Ethan almost rolled his eyes at Eleanor’s actions.
“Sister? Where did you find such a beautiful sister?” Eleanor was puzzled, and then she took a closer look at Isabelle.
Is she one of our relatives? No way, no one looks good in the family.
How could Ethan have such a beautiful cousin?
Is she a distant relativel
Ethan didn’t inform his family about Isabelle coming back today.
Otherwise, Eleanor would have insisted on going to the airport too.
“It’s Isabelle.” Ethan said helplessly.
Eleanor was stunned.
“Isabelle?” She shouted when she came back to her senses.
She immediately turned around to chase after Isabelle.
“My precious daughter, you look so beautiful after losing weight. I knew it, my daughter is a beauty.
“You’re
warin
prettier than those wealthy girls!” Eleanor exclaimed as she approached Isabelle while smiling
“I knew that you will grow up better than Layla when you were a child.
Tsk tsk. You’ll get to find a wealthy husband easily in Taragon City after graduating from Taragon University. Eleanor was overjoyed at her imagination.
She regretted treating Isabelle badly after seeing how stunning she would become after losing weight.
Ethan overheard Eleanor’s words after placing Isabelle’s luggage in her room. He asked with a frown, “Mom, what are you blabbering about?”
Eleanor noticed Isabelle’s dark expression and quickly covered her mouth. “Oops. Sorry.”
When William returned for lynch, he didn’t recognize Isabelle and pulled Eleanor aside to ask about her.
Eleanor proudly said, “She’s my precious daughter.”
William was shocked and he neaiced Toshelle imme jelu for her hesune

“Isabelle, thanks to you, the mayor has arranged an easier job with decent pay for me. I no longer have to work at the construction site,” William adjusted his expensive suit and enjoyed the touch of the fabric.

Isabelle, who was having lunch, only nodded in response.

“Thanks to my precious daughter, I no longer have to work at that old factory. Now I can stay at home and enjoy life every day,” Eleanor added.
It was obvious that she had been living a comfortable life for the past two months. Eleanor looked radiant and she was even wearing gold earrings.
“Do you know that Layla also got accepted into Taragon University? I don’t have to worry since you guys have each other at school.
“Layla enrolled a few days ago. I wanted her to wait for you, but she mentioned something was happening at school.
“When are you going? I can take a day off to accompany you,” William offered.
“It’s fine. I can go on my own.”
William didn’t push her since he knew that she was capable of taking care of herself.
“Alright, stay safe.”
“The school provided a house for us. I was thinking of moving there so that we can take care of you and Layla. However, Ethan is about to start his senior year, I’m afraid that he won’t adapt well. We’ll move to Taragon City after he finishes his college entrance examination,” Eleanor said.
Isabelle was starting to get annoyed. She was about to clean the table when Eleanor suddenly said. “Isabelle, I have something to discuss with you.
“Principal Burton mentioned wanting to gift you a house. What are your plans? Whose name do you intend to put it under?” Eleanor asked with a smile.
If Eleanor wasn’t afraid of Magnus recognizing her and exposing Layla for cheating, she would have hurried to negotiate the location and ownership details with Magnus upon hearing about the house.
Isabelle stared at Eleanor with a straight face.
“Since this house is quite expensive, I don’t think that you’re mature enough to make a decision. The school also mentioned wanting to provide Layla with a house. I think both houses should be registered under my name. Since we’re all family, the ownership of the house doesn’t matter, right?”
“If it doesn’t matter to you, why should it be registered under your name?” Isabelle asked.
Eleanor’s smile faded for a moment as she recalled the ugly expression on Isabelle’s face back then when she was angry.
After pondering momentarily, her tone softened, “I’m only worried that you kids don’t know how to handle the matters of the house. Fine, you should put it under Ethan’s name instead of mine.”
Ethan interjected, “I don’t want my sister’s house.”
“Hush! What do you know?” Eleanor scolded Ethan.

Then, she turned to Isabelle. “You have a good relationship with Ethan, right? Look, you’ll have to get married one day and you won’t be able to take such a nice house with you. We’ll be at the losing end if your in–laws snatch your house. It will be different if the house is under Ethan’s name. Nowadays, men need to have houses before getting married. Look around our neighborhood, how many single men in their thirties are there?
“If the house belongs to Ethan, you can always seek protection there when your in–laws bully you. It’s also a stepping stone for Ethan to be successful in Taragon City to own this house”
“Principal Burton said that the house was a gift to Isabelle. Let Isabelle make the decision herself. Isn’t your name registered under Layla’s house deed? You still have plenty of money, so you can purchase a house for Ethan later,” William suggested.
“I will buy a house with the money I earn.” Ethan hated his mother’s calculative personality.
Eleanor glared at William. “What do you know? That house is for us after we retire. What kind of house can I buy with such little money? Do you want your son to stay single for the rest of his life?”
“Isabelle, I don’t have a choice. When you get married and have children, you’ll know how I feel today. You’re capable of earning money, but Ethan might not be as capable as you.”
Isabelle nodded. “Do you have Principal Burton’s number?
Eleanor was delighted.
“Isabelle. I don’t want the house,” Ethan said.
Eleanor shot her son another glare and said hastily, “I think Layla has the number. Let me ask her.”
Eleanor was thrilled and wanted to call Layla.
“It’s fine,” Isabelle pulled out her phone.
George, who was relaxing at the hotel, was surprised to see Isabelle calling him.
“Please give me Principal Burton’s number. Thank you.”
George was stunned and he quickly searched for the number.
After telling Isabelle the number, he wanted to say something else, but she ended the call abruptly.
George was at a loss for a moment.
Isabelle then dialed Magnus’s number.
“Principal Burton, it’s Isabelle.”
“Hello, Isabelle.” Magnus was surprised. “What makes you call me?”

“I want to discuss something about the house with you.”
“Have you found a suitable location? Where is it? I’ll go check it out later,” Magnus said generously.
“The city center,” Eleanor whispered to Isabelle.
Isabelle continued, “It doesn’t matter the location and the size of the house. I want the house under my name. I’ll send you my bank account later. Please deposit the scholarship into that account.”
“Brat…” Eleanor cursed, but Isabelle’s cold glare stopped her.
She quickly changed her demeanor and asked anxiously, “Isabelle, didn’t we agree to put Ethan’s name for the ownership of the house?”
Ethan continued eating when he heard what Isabelle told Magnus.
He didn’t have to worry now. Isabelle was no longer the same. No one could take advantage of her now.
“Of course, the house will be under your name,” Magnus said.
Then, he asked if Isabelle had arrived in Taragon City. He invited her to his house when she After a brief exchange, Isabelle ended the call.

Without giving Eleanor a chance to speak, Isabelle asked her, “Timothy gave you a lot of money, right? Give it to me.”
Eleanor played dumb, “No… no, when did he give me money?”
“Do I need to ask Timothy to take the money back from you?” Isabelle asked.
“Isabelle, this money is for Ethan… education.
“Eleanor attempted to tell her that the money was for Ethan’s
She wanted to keep the money.
Unfortunately, she had no choice but to submit to Isabelle.
“Give it to me,” Isabelle said coldly.
Isabelle’s gaze made Eleanor nervous and she wanted to guilt trip Isabelle.
Eleanor was very calculating. Although she wanted the money, the amount was nothing compared to a million–dollar house in Taragon City.
The house was more important.
She had to please Isabelle to get the house.
Eleanor returned to her roomy and retrieved the bank card.

Isabelle glanced at the gold earring on her car.
Eleanor hurriedly touched the earring and explained, “It only cost a few hundred dollars and I bought some dresses. That’s all.”
Isabelle requested the password to the bank card, and Eleanor complied.
“You know very well how you’ve treated me since childhood. You should know what to do if you want a comfortable life. Don’t do anything out of the line or else you’ll embarrass Ethan, Isabelle warned.
Though William was weak, he still treated the original Isabelle nicely. The money for renovations and new appliances was considered a gift to William.
“Why would you think of me like that?” Eleanor’s words were cut off as Isabelle stood up.
Eleanor immediately dropped her fake smile after Isabelle left.
She touched her gold earrings, wishing that she should have bought more gold accessories.
She was satisfied with Layla because she had voluntarily given her everything.
Eleanor looked at Ethan and came up with a new plan.
“Ethan, you have a good relationship with your sister. You should ask your sister for that house, a house in Taragon City costs millions…
Ethan shouted towards Isabelle’s room.
Eleanor was flustered. “Hey, why are you calling her?” She raised her hand and almost slapped him.
“You’ll regret later in life if you don’t listen to me.”
There are only two days left before school starts.
Isabelle had originally planned to leave on the last day, but she couldn’t handle Eleanor anymore.
So she decided to leave the next day.
She didn’t even have the chance to unpack her suitcase before leaving again. The suitcase contained a few outfits George had bought for her in Melfrey, her laptop, and a few bottles of wine that Yves hadn’t finished.
Ethan sent her off at the airport.
“Are you sure that you don’t want to finish your senior year in Taragon City? I can arrange for you to attend any school you like. Don’t worry about your results, I can help you catch up,” Isabelle asked Ethan once again.
Ethan shook his head. “I’m used to the teaching at Norward High. I will pass the entrance exam for Taragon University next year. By then, my foot will also be healed.”
He was determined to pass the entrance exam for Taragon University and attend the same school as Isabelle.

Ethan said firmly, “I want to pass the exam on my own.”
Isabelle remained quiet. With Timothy and the principal of Norward High on their side, she didn’t have to worry about Ethan being bullied.
Isabelle handed the bank card she had taken from Eleanor to Ethan.
Ethan refused to take it.
Isabelle insisted. “It’s your pocket money.”
“I have money, and this is too much.” Rich kids don’t even have that much pocket money, do they?
