Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 143 Law–Abiding Citizen
Danny took a deep breath and looked at Isabelle. “Never mind. I’ll go ask my dad for some help”
Danny didn’t care about Bella’s warning against seeking family assistance.
Isabelle looked at him as he spoke.
“If it weren’t for me, Jim wouldn’t have even mentioned. And disregarding the bet, Bella’s attitude earlier really pissed me off.”
Jim responded quickly, and Isabelle typed away while chatting with him. Meanwhile, she listened as Danny threw out ideas..
Danny suggested she ignore Bella if she lost, like what happened with Alex in the car race.
Danny was surprised when Bella posted about it on the forum, making it school–wide gossip in just one class period.
The Principal of Taragon University, James, and Logan came to speak with Isabelle. The principal criticized her for being reckless but also proposed solutions, planning to bring Bella in to cancel the bet
Sam found out about the situation from the forum and seized the opportunity to call Isabelle immediately.
He thought, as long as Isabelle asked, he’d use all his connections to track down Jim.
But Isabelle said, “No need. If I need help. I’ll ask your uncle.” She was blunt but honest.
After all. George’s influence was bigger than Sam’s.
Sam hung up the phone feeling disappointed.
Not long after, Isabelle received a call from George. “When did you get to know Jim?”
George knew Isabelle wouldn’t take action unless she was confident.
While everyone thought Isabelle was being unrealistic, George was curious about how she met Jim.
Isabelle replied, “I asked him to be my lawyer before.”
George couldn’t help but tease, “You actually went through the legal system to hire a lawyer?”
Isabelle raised an eyebrow. “Of course. I’m a law–abiding citizen.”
George laughed. “Law–abiding? Sure, let’s go with that.”
After the laughter, he asked, “When did this happen? What was the lawsuit about?”
Isabelle answered, “A few months ago. A teacher falsely accused me of cheating on an exam.”
George was stunned.
Not a major crime, not hacking into a country’s system to steal classified files, but cheating on an exam?

Chapter 143 Law–Abiding Citizen
What kind of lawsuit is that?
But then again, it’s something she would do.
Just how close are she and Jim for him to take on such an odd case?
The bet between the former and current campus belle, spurred by Bella’s encouragement, rapidly blew up on the forum, becoming uncontrollable.
Isabelle said she can get Mr. Carter to give a lecture at our school? That’s ridiculous! How much would that
cost?‘
‘It’s not about the money. As a law student, I can tell you that even our principal couldn’t get him here!
‘Don’t be so sure. Haven’t you heard the rumours that she has a wealthy sponsor? Maybe she pulled some. strings, and her sugar daddy paid for it.
Which rich person has more pull than our principal? And stop fantasizing about my idol being a sugar baby.‘
‘I heard from one of Danny’s friends that this Jim guy isn’t just any lawyer. His connections might even be bigger than the Holmes family.
Jim? That top–notch lawyer? When’s he coming? I’ll be there early to get a seat for his lecture!
‘My idol has to beg? Someone get Danny to help her out!‘
‘Am I the only one who doesn’t know who Jim is? Let me look him up
Just looked him up, and all I remember is how handsome he is. Hehe, what a hottie…”
Suddenly, the whole school was talking about the bet.
Students, upon hearing that even their principal had been turned down, were convinced Isabelle would lose and started worrying about her.
Many were eagerly waiting to see the drama unfold.
Some bored students even started a heated debate on the forum. Some said Isabelle was overconfident and that Bella would teach her a lesson, while others accused Bella of being a bully.
