Resurrecting the Genius Within 

Chapter 165 Jasiel’s Adopted Son 

Thus, George’s hand moved instinctively, attempting to grasp Isabelle’s hand. 

However, he had been lost in thought for too long, wasting too much time. By the time he intended to act, Isabelle had already released her hand. 

George found himself holding onto nothing but air. 

After retracting her hand, Isabelle glanced briefly at his hand, remarking to herself. Why is his hand so hot? 

Little did George realise that it was his own elevated body temperature that brought her back to her senses, prompting her to release her hand upon realising it. 

As he rubbed his palm with his thumb, reminiscing about the soft touch and lingering warmth, George eventually looked at his now empty hand, sighing inwardly. 

“4.5 million for the first time, 4.5 million for the second time, 4.5 million for the third time. Sold!‘ The host swiftly concluded, his words rushing out as if fearing any mishap. “Let’s congratulate the lady.” 

Contributing to charity, spurred on by the host, the audience applauded the lady’s generosity. 

Initially intending to witness Isabelle’s embarrassment, Dakota unexpectedly found herself playing the fool. As she endured the mocking gazes of those around her and the deafening applause, she seethed with frustration, unable to lash out. 

Amidst the applause, whispers were exchanged in hushed tones. 

“This Ms. Sullivan doesn’t seem capable of achieving much.” 

“I heard some rumours in the circle recently suggesting that the Harris family might be interested in forming a connection with the Sullivans. It seems like nothing but gossip now.” 

“The Harris family? The younger one or the older one? Don’t tell me it’s the older one. Mr. George is such a distinguished figure. Could he really take an interest?” 

“Probably just the family worrying as they age. There’s no way someone like him would take a liking to a spoiled and unruly young lady like her.” 

It seems like the Sullivans might be on the decline in this generation.” 

“Her father’s generation was alright. All three brothers were capable. It’s a shame about the eldest of the Sullivans, though, passing away prematurely.” 

“Yeah, he didn’t even leave behind an heir. And the remaining two brothers only had daughters, none of whom are capable of anything. 

These words were undoubtedly a slap in the face for Dakota. 

Unable to bear it any longer, she stood up abruptly, “Dad, I’m going home.” 

After uttering those words, she got up and left through the back door. 

Maverik felt uncomfortable hearing those remarks too. He left his assistant in charge of liaising with the

Chapter 165 Jasiel’s Adopted Son 

After the auction concluded, everyone gradually approached the front row to exchange pleasantries and bid farewell to Jasiel. 

Secing that Isabelle hadn’t moved, the three of them remained seated. 

She turned to look at him and asked, “Aren’t you leaving?” 

George replied, “I’m waiting for you to leave together.” 

She obviously had something to attend to, and George couldn’t fail to notice. 

Sure enough, she asked him, “They’re all going to greet the philanthropists. Mr. Harris, aren’t you going?” 

Being as clever as he was and knowing her so well, how could he not understand the meaning behind her words? He smiled and replied. “Let’s go then.” 

Although he wasn’t sure what Isabelle was up to, he was willingly acting as her accomplice. 

He rose from his seat and headed towards Jasiel at the front- 

Isabelle and the others followed behind. 

“Nice to meet you, Old Mr. Reeve, George greeted. 

“Mr. George, what a pleasure to meet you. It’s truly an honour for me to have your personal support,” Jasiel responded. 

“Engaging in charitable activities is only natural,” George replied. 

“Is this Mr. Sam?” Jasiel inquired. “He truly possesses remarkable talent and an extraordinary demeanour.” 

“You flatter me, Old Mr. Reeve. I’m still learning, Sam replied modestly. 

The group exchanged pleasantries and polite conversation. 

While the others engaged in conversation, Isabelle’s gaze was fixed on the adopted son behind Jasiel. 

Her straightforward gaze caught Josh’s attention. As he glanced back, he saw the girl smile lightly at him. 

She was stunningly beautiful, her presence exuding a captivating 

gaura. 

Earlier, when Isabelle and the Sullivans were bidding. Josh had noticed her. Shortly after, he noticed George beside her. 

As he appraised them with his gaze, he heard the girl ask him, “Are you Old Mr. Reeve’s…. 

Josh returned her smile and replied, “I’m his adopted son.”
