Chapter 127 Couldn’t Be More Obvious.
Isabelle sneered, “Don’t compare her to me. Stop with that fake, insincere attitude. Just drop the act”
Eleanor managed a strained smile and said, “You’re my child. I gave birth to you. How could I possibly-
“I said enough!” Isabelle interrupted sharply.
Eleanor finally fell silents
Ethan quickly packed his belongings. He packed his backpack with a few sets of clothes, some books and school supplies, a large bag of herbal medicine, and his laptop.
In two trips. Dylan helped him carry everything to the trunk.
Isabelle turned to Eleanor and declared, “I’m taking Ethan to school, not kidnapping your son. I won’t interfere with Ethan’s decision about you. But if you interfere with him, causing trouble in Taragon and disrupting his studies, I’ll make sure you and Layla end up in jail.”
With that, Isabelle left with Ethan.
George followed the siblings.
“Isabelle… William took a few steps after them but couldn’t continue. He crouched down, hating himself for his lack of capability.
Ethan sat in the front seat. He quietly watched the house he had lived in for years fade into the distance..
“Children should respect their parents, but not blindly. If parents force their children to break the law or sacrifice them for personal gain, they lose the right to call themselves parents. You shouldn’t feel too guilty or sad about it,” George said.
Ethan tilted his head back slightly, not responding.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow and thought, People with higher education sure know how to comfort others.
She leaned against the car window, supporting her head with her hand, and asked, “How did you enjoy the show, Mr. Harris?”
George replied calmly, “I’m relieved that you’re not too upset.”
Isabelle saw him as a true businessman, capable of saying the right thing to warm the heart and gracefully handling her challange
Fine; I’m indeed inferior to him in terms of art of words.
Isabelle decided to drop it.
They first found a restaurant for dinner.
Ethan hadn’t eaten anything since his late class the previous night, and his stomach was empty.
Despite the food’s aroma, he had no appetite.

Chapter 127 Couldn’t Be More Obvious
Ethan looked up to see that Isabelle had brought it over.
George served another bowl to Isabelle.
Not wanting Isabelle to worry, Ethan picked up his spoon and started eating.
“Should we find a hotel in Norward to rest for the night and leave tomorrow, or drive through the night? Isabelle asked..
“Let Ethan decide, George said.
The siblings glanced at him.
Dylan felt embarrassed, wanting to bury his face in his bowl. Mr. George, aren’t you a bit too forward? He’s her brother.
Ethan said, “Let’s drive through the night.
Given how things had escalated, Ethan felt responsible. Thinking of his honest, straightforward father and his pathetic mother, he worried that staying in Norward for a night might change his mind.
After leaving the restaurant, they headed directly to Taragon.
Isabelle offered, “Dylan, if you’re tired, I can drive.”
Dylan, clutching the steering wheel, was on the verge of tears. Finally, someone remembered me–the injured driver.
George told Isabelle, “I can drive. Then he added to Dylan, “If you’re tired, let me know, and I’ll take over.”
Dylan was still recovering from his injuries, and driving while tired could lead to an accident
“Don’t worry, I can manage, Dylan reassured them.
He had never imagined his boss driving while he sat in the passenger seat.
As long as he didn’t crash, he’d drive to the limit.
In the front passenger seat, Ethan clutched his backpack, drowsily watching the scenery pass by, which only made him sleepier.
Ethan dozed off.
His upper body was slowly leaning to one side. A bump jolted him awake, and his head lolled to one side.
Isabelle reached out from the back/seat and gently propped him back up.
