Chapter 124 He Wants to Be Her Family
As soon as Isabelle got in the car, she remembered something.
She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh no.”
George snapped out of his thoughts and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Sorry, Mr. Harris. I should have borrowed a car from a classmate instead of bothering you. Given your current situation, it’s not appropriate to ask for your help.”
He
s about to get engaged, and she needed to steer clear of any potential misunderstandings. She hadn’t thought of it earlier.
There were no flights to Norward in the next few days, and borrowing a car from George was the first thing that came to mind.
After this trip to Norward, she would find time to buy a car for herself to avoid inconveniencing others.
George’s formal tie suggests he likely came straight from the office,
“What do you mean by ‘not appropriate?” George was puzzled.
Aren’t it always appropriate?
Furthermore, school has just begun; which classmate could be more suitable than me? Given how long we’ve known each other, I should be the best choice.
Isabelle said, “Mr. Harris, you’re getting engaged, so it’s obviously not appropriate.”
“Where did you hear that rumour from?”
Isabelle raised an eyebrow and questioned, “Hmm?”
The question in her eyes was, Was that a fake rumour?
Isabelle continued, “Aren’t you engaged to Ms. Sullivan?”
George explained, “My family did intend for a business marriage with the Sullivans, but I’ve made it clear I won’t agree to it. There’s no engagement, not even a beginning to one.”
After explaining, George expected Isabelle to say something or show a reaction that might please him.
Unfortunately, she merely responded with a disinterested “Oh.”
Dylan sneakily glanced at the rearview mirror. Something’s definitely up,
How does Ms. Jenkins hear about my affairs at school? Is that your special attention to a friend or neighbour?” George took the inftiative to strike
Unexpectedly, laabelle was blunt

George was speechless.

Dylan in the driver seat, struggled to hold back his laughter. Can they not make him laugh? His injuries. hadn’t fully healed, and it hurt to laugh.
It was the first time someone had ever told the boss to his face that he’s someone else’s reject. This was wild!
Only Blackwater’s leader could do that!
George took a deep breath, grinding his teeth slightly, and chided, “Ridiculous! Did you believe it?”
Isabelle shrugged and said, “I just found it amusing.”
You used to take pleasure in observing me in uncomfortable circumstances.
Her response rendered him at a loss for words.
George changed the topic, asking, “Why are you in such a hurry to go home? I came in a hurry, and we might need to buy a gift on the way.”
“That’s not necessary. It’s better to feed it to the dogs than to buy it for them,” Isabelle replied.
“Is your relationship with your family that bad?” George asked.
Isabelle briefly explained how Layla had stolen her work and claimed it as her own.
George had initially identified Isabelle’s handwriting as the solution’s author. He hadn’t told Principal Burton because Isabelle didn’t seem interested in claiming the title of ‘math genius.
He hadn’t anticipated it would lead to this impersonation issue.
“Is Ethan going to be okay? Should I arrange for a helicopter to get there faster?” George suggested.
“He’ll be fine. He’s their son, after all.”
Eleanor would blame Isabelle for anything, but while she was a shrew, she might not actually harm Ethan.
Despite this, Ethan certainly couldn’t stand up to Eleanor on his own.
Isabelle realised what George had just said: Is Ethan going to be okay? She glanced at George and thought,
Ethan is my brother.
It sounded like he thought Ethan is part of his family.
George thought to himself that he should have had Dylan investigate Isabelle’s family background, at least
