Chapter 108 An Impressive Girl
Isabelle didn’t even look up as she explained, “I raced the instructor. If I won, I got my phone back.”
George smiled as he understood everything.
Then he noticed the watch on Isabelle’s wrist. It looked roughly made and unbranded, clearly a low- quality item.
After spending two months together, George noticed that Isabelle was quite particular about everything. This watch wasn’t something she’d buy for herself.
“Is the watch new?”
Yeah.”
George looked at the watch. Isabelle suddenly asked, “Where’s Dylan?”
His eyes shifted from her watch to her face, narrowing slightly. George questioned, “Why do you ask?”
Just curious.”
Could he still be recuperating from his injury in Melfrey?
George responded noncommittally.
He remembered Isabelle receiving a box of wine from a friend in Melfrey. Dylan was nearby at the time, and they seemed to get along well.
How old is Dylan? He is 27 years old, which is around my age.
Dylan was good–looking and had decent financial capability.
Did Dylan send her this watch?
With Dad
Dylan’s salary, he wouldn’t buy such a cheap watch for her.
Aside from that, Dylan is still in Melfrey. How would he send the watch to her?
George thought a lot. In the end, he shook his head internally and reasoned. No, she couldn’t be interested in Dylan
Lost in thought, George didn’t hear Isabelle speaking to him. When he realised it, she was staring at him strangely.
“Hmm? What did you just say?” George asked, pretending nothing was wrong.
“I said the mosquito spray is pretty good.” Isabelle looked at him oddly, then at her watch.
George’s eyes lit up. He said with a smile, “I’m glad you like it, Ms. Jenkins.”
She had noticed.
Given her alertness, it made sense that she’d noticed him watching her with binoculars for half an hour.

Chapter 108 An Impressive Girl
Still, it was a pleasant surprise.
Isabelle raised her wrist and wondered, “Mr. Harris, do you like my watch?”
George wanted to say something, but Isabelle cut him off.
“This watch was a gift, so I can’t give it to you. But I’ll pick one out for you myself.”
George said with a smile, Tll look forward to it.”
Noticing Carl was staring at Isabelle, George asked, “General Sarratt, what are you looking at?”
Carl snapped back to the present and said with a chuckle, “Nothing much, but Isabelle reminds me of someone. Someone who is very impressive.”
“Oh?” George was intrigued.
Carl’s comment reminded George of Isaac.
Isaac said something similar.
But Isaac was known for speaking unflatteringly.
Carl looked at Isabelle again and said, “How should I put it? Isabelle’s demeanour and overall vibe remind me a lot of that person.”
At first, Carl thought Isabelle’s attitude towards George was one of spoiled arrogance, thinking George had indulged her.
It turned out they didn’t have a romantic relationship. Her boldness and self–assured nature reminded. Carl of someone formidable.
Even Sam, George’s nephew, wouldn’t dare to act like Isabelle.
If George denied Sam the right to sit, he wouldn’t sit.
It wasn’t just the younger generation; no one among his peers dared act on equal footing with George. Isabelle was the first, and she was just a student.
“That person was
s a young girl, but she was extraordinary,” Carl said with admiration.
Isabelle was looking at her phone. She raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
