Chapter 118 Truth
Rumours circulated that the two were already an item.
The stark contrast in social status between the heir to the prestigious Holmes family and a girl from a rural city drew a lot of attention.
George graduated from Taragon University. He knew that with Isabelle’s impressive qualifications and unique personality, she would be a hot topic on the university’s forum. He’s been browsing the forum on a regular basis lately..
Today, he saw a particularly eye–catching post when he opened the forum.
The title stood out: Taragon City’s Aristocrat Chasing a Country Girl.
Comments like ‘Cinderella story‘, ‘climbing the social ladder, and ‘perfect match‘ flooded the discussion
section.
The comments section was filled with a mix of envy and jealousy.
George stared at the screen. His lips moved slightly as he said deliberately, “DANNY HOLMES?”
George picked up his phone and sent a message to Isabelle.
Logan, the current student council president, was enthusiastically inviting Isabelle to join the student council on campus.
“Does the student council have a lot of power?” Isabelle’s question was straight to the point.
Having never attended university in her previous life, Isabelle wondered if the student council was like God’s Armament Alliance in Melfrey.
“Well…” Logan thought carefully. She was a top student who was personally recruited by the principal; the student council couldn’t offer her much. Instead, it seemed like it would only add to her burdens.
“Just forget it. You probably don’t need it,” Logan said with an awkward smile.
Isabelle was checking her phone while Logan was secretly watching her.
After a lengthy internal struggle, Logan finally found the courage to ask, ‘About that, I wonder if the rumour in the forum is true. The one about you and Danny?” He hurriedly added, “I don’t mean anything by it; I’m just curious.”
Isabelle received a message from George inviting her to dinner.
Not fully understanding Logan’s question, she glanced at him and asked, “Hmm?”
“I mean, are you two dating?”
“No.”
Isabelle replied, and then quickly responded to George.
“We’ll see.

George looked at the reply and felt helpless.
When Isabelle was in Norward, they managed to meet a few times by chance, Now that she was in
Taragon, right under his nose, it was surprisingly hard to see her

Logan was overjoyed with the denial. He asked, “Can you out for dinner this weekend? If it wasn’t for your help on registration day, I would have fallen.”
Isabelle put away her phone and said, “You don’t have to do that.”
She had too many dinner invitations to keep up with.
Isabelle still hadn’t attended the dinner that Principal Burton had invited her to.
In the dormitory,
Layla was skipping classes to avoid James. She was frantically scrolling through forum posts. Her mind was in a frenzied and almost delirious state.
She stared at her phone screen intently and wished she could crush it.
Why? Why would Isabelle know someone as important as Danny? Isabelle use to be so fat and stupid that she couldn’t measure up to me.
Why? Why are all the good things happening to her now?
Ethan thought that after his rejection, Layla would give up.
Unexpectedly, Layla turned to their mother.
After the evening study session, when Ethan returned home, his mother came to him with some
questions.
Eleanor wanted him to find Isabelle to help Layla with her question. If she managed to solve the question, her teachers would view her differently, and she could potentially secure a scholarship. Eleanor rambled on about various benefits.
Ethan had no choice but to agree that he would ask Isabelle.
Eleanor was so pleased that she praised Ethan for being a good son.
Then, Ethan went to take a shower.
He had just washed his hair and forgotten to bring clothes. Consequently, he exited the bathroom to retrieve some clothes from his room.
