Resurrecting the Genius Within (Calypso Rain) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Side With Isabelle 

Ethan walked to the desk and turned on the computer. 

Eleanor didn’t know how to use a computer. Eleanor only took Ethan’s phone because she didn’t know he could use computer to send messages and contact people. 

Ethan sat in front of the computer, his mother pleading desperately outside the door, and his father was trying to reason with him. 

After what felt like an eternity, Ethan placed his hands on the keyboard and opened WhatsApp to find 

Isabelle’s chat. 

Isabelle’s phone chimed with a new message. 

The next day. 

Eleanor opened Ethan’s bedroom door, her eyes swollen. 

Carrying breakfast, Eleanor spoke in a hoarse voice, I’ve called the school; you won’t be going today.” 

Ethan couldn’t believe it and asked, “Are you imprisoning me?” 

Eleanor sighed and said, “Son, you’re still young. You don’t understand the struggles of being a parent. We only want what’s best for you.”

His father stood silently beside her, saying nothing. 

At school, 

Layla felt dazed and on edge. 

She barely made it through class. Layla lacked the appetite for it; therefore, she headed to her dorm, avoiding the crowd, desperate for a break. 

“Ethan said you needed help with a math problem.” 

Without any warning, Isabelle’s voice suddenly rang out. 

Layla jumped up, screaming in surprise, her whole body jolting as if electrocuted. 

When she saw Isabelle, Layla’s fuzzy brain froze. Her heart pounded, nearly leaping out of her chest, sinking into endless panic.. 

There’s quite a bit of scholarship money, Isabelle remarked casually. 

Layla barely regained her wits. She stammered, “Sis… sis… 

Isabelle continued, “I’ll solve the problem, and all the scholarship money goes to me.” 

Layla stood stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly. “All yours, sis. It’s all yours.” 

“Where is the math problem?” Isabelle asked.

Chapter 120 Side With Isabelle 

Did Ethan keep this a secret from Isabelle, and did he choose to help me instead? 

Isabelle looked at the problem and asked, “Got pen and paper?” 

“Yes, I have it here.” Layla hurriedly handed over the paper and pen. 

In her agitation, she dropped the pen on the ground. 

Isabelle watched coldly as she bent to pick it up. 

“Sis, how long will it take?” Layla asked, trying to mask her anxiety and calm herself. 

“Not long.” Isabelle said, taking the pen. 

In the pavilion. 

Isabelle quickly solved the problem and handed it to Layla. 

Layla took it and flipped through it excitedly. She praised, “This is fast! Sis, you’re amazing”

She clutched the notebook tightly, as if holding a lifeline. Layla asked, “Can I come to you if I have more problems in the future?” 

Isabelle let out a fake smile. 

She said nothing. 

“Once I show the teacher and get the scholarship, I’ll give it all to you. Thank you, sis. I’ll find you later,” Layla said, struggling to contain her emotions and calling Isabelle a warm sister. 

She waved goodbye to Isabelle and left in a hurry. Her emotions were like a rollercoaster; she had thought. she was doomed, but now she saw a glimmer of hope. Still feeling guilty. Layla didn’t dare stay long or say much to Isabelle. 

Isabelle stood still as she watched Layla’s joyous, retreating figure. Her expression was growing colder. 

Then she started following her. 

“Principal Burton, where are you off to in such a hurry?” 

Magnus was walking when he saw Isabelle approaching. 

He beamed and asked, “Oh! Isabelle. What brings you to this building? Looking for me? Have you finally got time to dine with me? I was just about to come find you myself.” 

Isabelle said, “Just passing by.” 

Magnus replied, “Perfect timing: come with me to meet some new friends.” He warmly invited her in. 

“What new friends?” Isabelle asked, already walking with him.
