Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 151 Waking Her Up

It felt like he was waiting for the moment when someone would be thrown down.

He heard George's knock on the door and voices.

But after two minutes, there was still no sound of a fight upstairs. Faintly, he even heard the door opening casually-

What's going on!

Upstairs.

It wasn't the bloody scene Jim had imagined.

But it wasn't all peaceful either-Isabelle just got back on the bed after opening the door, looking at George without expression as he came in.

The two of them exchanged silent glances, and the room became eerily quiet.

After a while, George tried to lighten the mood with a soft, innocent, and apologetic tone, thought you were up.

saying, "I

Having learned from the last time he knocked and knowing that Isabelle could be grumpy in the morning. George had purposely messaged her on his way over.

She had replied, though it was just a single punctuation.

He thought she was awake, but not....

Isabelle stayed silent, not speaking or reacting, still just staring at him

Her intense stare made George uncasy, causing his body to instinctively tense up.

Considering George had always been in a high position, it was strange for George to experience being

stared at like this.

It made him realize how those he used to fix his gaze upon must have felt.

He was about to say more, but just then, Isabelle got up and went to the bathroom, leaving him hanging.

The words he was about to say faded away.

George had planned to wait for her outside, but the idea of Jim downstairs made him decide to stay put in the room instead.

After Isabelle finished freshening up and came out, she asked, "Didn't we agree to call if something came up?”

George instinctively read her tone. Though it was a bit cold, there was no hint of anger.

Knowing her preference for action over words when upset, he understood that if she were truly mad, she wouldn't be speaking to him.

Isabelle didn't say anything else.

Indeed, as the head of the Harris family and a top martial artist, George held significant power and influence, making anyone think twice before messing with him.

The Dark Shadow would have to think carefully before making a move against him.

Unless necessary, the Dark Shadow wouldn't provoke such a force.

But nothing was certain. Isabelle didn't want to involve him in her troubles.

Noticing Isabelle's silence, George cautiously asked. "Are you mad?" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He gazed at the girl's smooth, delicate face. She had just washed up, but her washing technique was a bit rough; she splashed water directly onto her face and then wiped it off hastily. There were still plenty of water droplets on her face, gleaming and clear, enhancing the porcelain-like perfection of her skin.

Her curled lashes trembled slightly, piercing straight into one's heart.

Isabelle replied quickly, "I had too much drink last night, and didn't sleep well. It's not your fault, so you don't need to worry about it."

But the quicker she spoke, the more guilty George felt inside.

It was evident that she still had emotions pent up. Otherwise, how could she immediately understand that he was referring to the incident where he disturbed her sleep?

Dylan stood near the sofa, holding something in his hand. He glanced at Jim now and then, then followed. Jim's gaze upstairs.

Jim waited for a bit, sensing that something was off. Just as he was about to head upstairs, he spotted the two of them coming down, one after the other

"When did you wake up?" Jim asked.

"Just now," Isabelle replied.

Jim then asked, "Did someone wake you up?"

Isabelle shot him a look that said it all..

Jim, catching her meaning, immediately turned to glance at George walking behind her-unscathed, with all his limbs intact.

Blood Shadow surprisingly didn't attack him.

Was George hiding his skills from him? That seemed unlikely. They were friends, they must know cach other's capabilities. So, what's the reason?

Their conversation made, George look over at Jim.

She even knew when Isabelle was in a bad mood, something he hadn't picked up on during their two months living together on Melfrey. What exactly is the relationship between these two?

The impressive heir of the underworld, a top-tier lawyer, initially humbled himself to assist Isabelle with her "cheating on exams❞ case.

Then, spurred by a bet, he hurried back from abroad overnight to stand by Isabelle's side, drinking and causing a stir at the bar. And later, he even stayed the night here

From the student discussions on the Taragon University forum and from watching Jim's lecture videos, George gathered that Jim and Isabelle were close friends, perhaps even old friends. Old friends?

Wouldn't it require at least five or six years of friendship, plus many years of not seeing each other, before calling someone an old friend?

And how old is Isabelle!

As they came downstairs, George's mind raced with countless thoughts and emotions.

Isabelle took a seat on the sofa. "Aren't you supposed to hurry back to Senedele? Why are you still here?"

Jim responded, "No rush." But then he cast a glance at George.

Then, before George could react, he sat down beside Isabelle.

George hesitated for a moment. His deep gaze swept over Jim.

He concealed his emotions and sat down opposite them, remaining composed.
