Chapter 117 Rumour
Isabelle raised an eyebrow and asked sceptically, “George is engaged to your sister?”
“How dare you call Mr. George by his name? Such audacity!” Bella scoffed. Her gaze was filled with contempt as she looked at Isabelle.
“But even a country girl like you knows Mr. George. You aren’t completely clueless.”
“The Sullivans‘ eldest daughter is getting engaged to Mr. George?! She’s so lucky. That girl must be over the
moon!”
“Are you serious? He’s the head of the Harris family!”
“I heard Mr. George is incredibly handsome, wealthy, and powerful. He’s always been a standout among the elite.
“Meeting him even once would make my life complete.”
Bella basked in the admiration and envy of her classmates.
Danny rolled his eyes and taunted, “Haha, just someone my sister doesn’t want. Your sister sure knows how to pick up the scraps.”
Isabelle turned slowly to look at Danny.
So George and Danny’s sister had a thing?
They’ve lived under the same roof for two months, and she had no idea George was so charming. His allure certainly seemed at odds with the rumours of his strict and disciplined nature.
From her perspective as someone skilled in alternative medicine, she had observed George daily and found him quite restrained. After living together for two months, she hadn’t noticed him seeking relief elsewhere, despite his apparent pent–up energy.
nlike the rumours, he didn’t seem to have that many scandalous connections.

“Watch your mouth, aren’t you afraid your tongue will get you in trouble? Clearly, Mr. George isn’t interested in your sister.” Bella sneered.
“Haha, getting all high and mighty now? Have they even engaged? Not yet, isn’t it? It’s still unclear whether he even likes your sister.” Danny retorted sharply, “Even if Mr. George is blind enough to go for her, Dakota’s just your cousin, not your real sister, and certainly not you. What’s with your smug attitude? Are you planning to tag along as a concubine?”
Around them, laughter erupted.
“You-” Bella’s face turned red with anger.
“What? George is merely a charming façade to deceive shallow girls such as you. Do you think he’s a good. person?” Danny had grown up hearing plenty about George,
He had always been wary of him.

tried to avoid him. George’s intimidation extended even to the Harrisses.
“If your sister decides to marry him, it’s best to exercise caution. He might abuse her every few days. You’ll be in for a rough time too.”
When Danny’s family initially suggested marrying his sister off to George, he was the first to object, causing a huge scene. His grandfather smacked him with a cane, but he refused to back down.
Luckily, his sister was also scared of George, unlike those who were smitten by his pretty face and money.
And since George showed no interest in his sister, it all ended there.
The thought of George as his brother–in–law made Danny’s skin crawl, like being targeted by a ghost.
George is perfect as a boss, but not to date or get married. He shouldn’t drag any girl down with him. No average girl could handle him.
“From now on, you better stay clear of my boss. I’m doing this for your own good. If she has to step in and personally deal with you, Hmph!”
Danny’s words held a clear meaning; they were known to him and the gang of lackeys who had seen their share of action at the racetrack.
Danny was a troublemaker, never submitting to anyone since childhood. Isabelle was the first exception.
“Come on, Isabelle, let’s get something to eat.” Danny eagerly cleared the way for Isabelle.
As they walked, Isabelle thought about George. They had known each other for some time, and George had helped her quite a bit. She could even call him a friend. Isabelle’s Blackwaters also benefited from his God’s Armament Alliance.
If George was getting engaged or married, should she get him a gift?
