Chapter 64 A Reality Check
Finished
Hearing her proposal, Daniel’s eyes flickered with corporate calculation, a dangerous ambition building in his mind.
Before he could even open his mouth to issue an executive order, Isabella met Hannah’s gaze and said flatly, “Why don’t you phone Noah directly and ask if he minds adding a second body?”
Isabella’s eyes were sharp as broken glass.
She trying to play this basic high–society script on me?
It is a pathetic joke.
So desperate to infiltrate the Wayne compound?
Sure, go ask Noah yourself!
Let’s see if the Wayne tyrant gives you a single second of his time.
Let’s see if the Wayne family doesn’t completely bankrupt the Powells for breaching their boundaries.
Isabella’s freezing glare swept across the table, pinning both Daniel and Isaac in their seats.
Daniel’s face instantly flushed with acute, burning embarrassment.
On the other side of the table, Isaac found the entire conversation completely absurd.
Knitting his brows in deep annoyance, he looked back and forth between the two girls before barking, “What the hell are you two cooking up?
“Noah explicitly invited Isabella to his compound for a study group!
“Since when do you get to hijack an elite invite and invite yourselves along?
“This is completely unhinged.”
Isaac let out a sharp, dismissive scoff, thoroughly disgusted.
In truth, a profound wave of shame was currently clawing at his chest.
Even an outsider like Noah Wayne possessed the basic decency to provide Isabella with top–tier academic resources, while her own flesh and blood had completely ignored her educational deficits.
Actually, it wasn’t that they forgot…
Isaac’s analytical memory drifted back to a highly uncomfortable reality.
He recalled when Isabella first stepped foot inside the Powell mansion–a fragile, terrified girl who couldn’t even map out basic phonics or read a standard index.
She possessed zero cultural literacy, capable of nothing beyond basic spoken dialogue.

He had lazily thrown a couple of textbooks her way during the first week, and the second he realized she couldn’t parse the letters, he abandoned the effort entirely and wiped it from his schedule.
Digging his fingernails deep into his palms, his chest tightened with intense, suffocating guilt.
Anyway, the Powells have enough cash to feed Isabella for the rest of her life; it’s not like she actually needs tutoring
With her tragic foundation, there’s literally no point in forcing it…
Replaying those exact internal justifications in his head, he felt a sickening knot tie up his stomach.
So turned uncharacteristically soft. “Since Noah extended a formal

easily eclipsing our own resource pool.
“Take your time, focus on the material…..
“And if you ever hit a wall…”
He paused for a beat, clearing his throat before forcing out, “Just bring the questions to me.”
As the words cleared his teeth, Isaac felt a sudden wave of intense modern high school calculus problem?!

There’s zero chance a Stanford alumnus gets out–mapped by a high school curriculum!
Worse comes to worst, I’ll just hire a secret team of Ivy League professors to feed me the answers overnight!
Then I can just turn around and deliver the solutions to Isabella myself!
Armed with that frantic backup plan, Isaac steeled his jaw, while Isabella cast a highly amused, thoroughly surprised look at her second brother.
She had fully anticipated another hostile, toxic showdown at the breakfast table.
She was entirely locked and loaded to execute a total verbal demolition, ready to rip both Daniel and Isaac to absolute shreds.
She never expected Isaac to suddenly drop his defenses and stand firmly on her side.
Pausing for a split second, she swallowed her razor–sharp retorts, her expression flattening as she gave a brief nod. “Understood.”
As she had stated before, as long as the Powells didn’t cross her boundaries, she was perfectly content to treat them like thin air.
But if they came looking for blood, she would show absolute zero mercy!
Finishing her breakfast with elegant efficiency, Isabella grabbed her bag and exited the estate.
Hannah aggressively stomped her foot against the floorboards, turning a highly victimized, tearful face toward Isaac. “Isaac, what the hell are you spouting?

“This was a golden ticket to secure a direct line to the Waynes, why did you block me from going?
“I was genuinely trying to act as her academic shield so she wouldn’t look completely uneducated in front of elite professors!
