Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 39 Isabelle Recognises George From That Night 

A man in a suit, carrying the slight evening chill, strode across the courtyard and through the main 

entrance. 

He nodded in acknowledgment after meeting Mr. Burton’s gaze and stood behind Isabelle on her right. 

As the man approached, Isabelle, who was sitting on the sofa with her back to him, felt his tall figure cast a shadow over her. 

“Well, well, what brings you here today? Have you found the person I’ve been searching for?” Mr. Burton was always thinking about the math prodigy who refused to reveal themself. 

“I just met a client nearby and thought I’d drop by to see you,” George replied, instructing Dylan to hand over the gifts they brought to Mr. Burton’s assistant. “If I’m not mistaken, your granddaughter’s birthday is next week. So, we brought a small gift.” 

“How thoughtful of you,” Magnus nodded approvingly. 

“Do you have a guest?” George glanced at the girl on the sofa, who remained motionless. 

Magnus immediately shook his head and corrected George with a serious expression, “She’s not a guest, she’s my lifesaver.” 

“Lifesaver?” George could not help but take another look. 

Magnus explained, “Please, have a seat. Let’s talk” 

George took a few steps forward and sat down next to Magnus. 

His posture was relaxed yet elegant and dignified. As he crossed his long legs, he exuded an aura of authority that came from holding a high position for a long time. 

When George looked up, he was slightly surprised to see the girl’s face. 

It’s her. 

The same girl who saved my nephew. 

Dylan was stunned and blurted out, “She… 

After a careful comparison, George confirmed that it was indeed her. She was thinner than when he had seen her through the car window, but there was no mistaking it. 

However, wasn’t this girl in Norward City, thousands of miles away, just yesterday? And didn’t she break a boy’s leg? How did the end up sitting in his teacher’s house in Taragon City right now? Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Isabelle met the man’s gaze without hesitation. The moment their eyes met, George thought, It seems she recognises me. 

So he wondered, What would her reaction be upon seeing me? 

However, she did not react.

picking up the glass of water on the table and taking a sip. 

It was a normal reaction to seeing a stranger, although it lacked a bit of politeness and restraint. 

George was a bit puzzled. 

Dylan had arranged for someone to secretly protect this girl, but she found out and even said, “The Harris family spent all their money on bodyguards.” 

If this did not prove that she knew about the Harris family and Sam, it should prove that she knew about Timothy intervening twice on her behalf at his behest. 

However, she acted as if she did not know him. 

George rested his hand on his leg, his fingers tapping rhythmically. 

Isabelle’s gaze was drawn to his hand. The man’s palm was large, with distinct knuckles and long fingers. The small mole on the first knuckle of his index finger added a hint of restrained allure to his handsome hand, just like the one she had seen on the computer screen-that night! 

Isabelle’s drinking slowed down as her gaze lingered on the mole on George’s hand. After that, she moved her gaze upward, finally stopping at the man’s chest and waist to make a careful comparison. 

Isabelle’s bold gaze caught George’s attention. 

So, he followed her gaze and looked down at his own body. 

It was him! Isabelle confirmed that the man who had hacked into Ethan’s phone that night was the mant sitting in front of her now–George Harris. 

It was a bit surprising that the chairman of the Harris Group was also a computer whiz. 

“What is she looking at?” Dylan muttered to himself, knowing that his boss was handsome enough to attract both women and men. 

But isn’t she being a little bold right now? 

Doesn’t she know how to be reserved? 

George did not mind. He looked away and asked his teacher, “You just said this young lady saved your life. What happened?” 

Magnus briefly explained, “I went out to buy a birthday gift for my granddaughter, and my old ailment. acted up. I almost didn’t make it, but this girl saved me with acupuncture. If it were not for her, I would have been in danger.” 

“Acupuncture?” George glanced at the large bag of medicinal herbs in front of Isabelle, labelled Maven Apothecary. 

“Do you know acupuncture?” George asked Isabelle. 

“A little.” Intuitively, Isabelle did not want to get too involved with this seemingly polite but dangerous. 

man. 

She knew that he was not a simple businessman.

George said, “My surname is Harris, how should I address you? 

Magnus slapped his thigh. “Oh, gosh! I forgot to ask your name, Miss.” 

Isabelle replied. “My name is Isabelle. Isabelle Jenkins.” 

Dylan was a bit confused seeing Isabelle’s face. His thoughts were almost identical to George’s. They were wondering how Isabelle, who should be in Norward City, suddenly appeared in Taragon City and even became Mr. Burton’s saviour. 

Dylan doubted if he had recognised the wrong person. Plus, Isabelle seemed much thinner than the last time he saw her. Many people in the world looked alike anyway. 

It was not until he heard Isabelle say her name that Dylan was sure it was the same person. 

So he glanced at Isabelle, then at George who was talking to her, obviously wanting to say something. 

“Nice name.” Magnus looked at Isabelle with admiration. He smiled and praised her to George, “Don’t underestimate her. She has extraordinary medical skills and–courage, so she must have a promising future. After saying that, he gave her a thumbs–up. 

“Miss Jenkins dared to help a stranger in today’s unpredictable society, and even a sick one at that. She’s truly a warm–hearted person.” George’s words had a hidden meaning. He was subtly reminding her that she had saved Sam that night. 

Unexpectedly. Isabelle did not fall for it and responded, “Not many people compliment me like that.” 

Magnus, unaware of the underlying meaning, continued to enthusiastically introduce George to Isabelle, “This is the chairman of the Harris Group. Despite his young age, he has remarkable business acumen. Moreover, he’s also my proudest student. When you get into Taragon University, you’ll have to call him 

senior.” 

George said, “You’re still in school, Miss Jenkins? Are you planning to go to Taragon University?” 

Whether Isabelle truly did not recognise him or was pretending not to, George had no intention of reminding her, let alone exposing her. 

“Do you have any good suggestions, Mr. Harris?” Isabelle casually inquired. 

George shook his head with a slight smile. “Taragon University is excellent. I wish you success in your studies, Miss Jenkins.” 

Isabelle responded indifferently. “Thank you.” 

“Young lady, are you sure you don’t want to consider Taragon Medical School? With your skills and qualifications, you’re bound to excel in the medical field. Magnus, who wanted to contribute to the medical school, did not want to let go of such a promising student. 

Isabelle did not answer immediately. 

At this moment, George asked. “Miss Jenkins, do you have a preferred major?” 

Mathematics or medicine? Isabelle pondered for a moment before answering, “Computer science sounds good.”

Magnus looked pained and incredulous. “Computer science?” 

“Computer science offers numerous job opportunities. If you’re interested after graduation, you can come to work for me. We are in need of technical staff. George was purely trying to repay Sam’s favor. 

Work for you at the Harris Group? 

Isabelle’s eyebrows raised uncontrollably, she thought to herself, Who do you think you are? 

None of her identities were inferior to his status as the chairman of the Harris Group. Work for him? 

Please. 

“I’m not interested,” Isabelle said directly. 

You don’t know what’s good for you, Dylan thought. 

He had no idea how polite Isabelle was being. 

If Yves were here, he would have laughed out loud and replied for Isabelle, “Let Blood Shadow work for you? Are you daydreaming?
