Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 166 An Urgent Situation
George stood, hands tucked in his pockets, staring at the outstretched hand before him, motionless.
Following a short moment, he eventually extended his hand to clasp the other’s.
On the journey home, Isabelle rested her elbow on the car’s window ledge, supporting her head with a single hand while she glanced at her phone screen, entirely unaware of the reduced air pressure within the vehicle.
Only the desire to end a life mattered to her.
George glimpsed her phone screen and observed her unwavering focus on Josh’s phone number, intensifying the already sinking pressure.
Meanwhile, Dylan, leading the way, battled with discomfort, his teeth clenching from the sour taste in his
mouth.
“I thought Miss Jenkins had her eye on Jasiel, George remarked casually, attempting to hide any concern.
Isabelle cast a brief glance at him. “Mr. Harris, are you troubled by something?”
Was he upset about being used by me?
“No, simply curious,” George responded.
Isabelle arched an eyebrow in response.
“This seems to be the first instance of you actively seeking someone’s contact details, isn’t it?” George remarked. And it’s a man.
“I have no interest in him,” Isabelle replied curtly.
The phone number wasn’t for ordinary chats. It was for keeping tabs on the other person’s calls. What scenarios was George envisioning?
Noses held secrets, and eyes concealed intentions.
Heart K must have set things in motion before stepping down, solidifying his authority in Taragon City. If he assumed command of the Dark Shadow branch in the city, it would pose a considerable challenge to deal with.
At minimum, she had to delve into his history before taking action.
She couldn’t risk drawing too much attention. Therefore, she must begin with his adopted son. Time was of the essence, or Dark Shadow would soon discover that the assassins they sent had been defeated by her.
If Joker reached out to Heart K, she’d become a target. By initiating the exchange of contact information that day, her motives would be revealed, and she’d swiftly transition from a proactive role to a reactive
onc.
Originally, George intended to inquire indirectly, but Isabelle straightforwardly declared her disinterest in Josh.

feared he might suffocate.
Who could have predicted that Mr. George would feel jealous and act so oddly?
I pondered whether Old Mr. Reeve’s adopted son had his hand bones crushed by him at the auction venue earlier. Old Mr. Reeve’s adopted son had also encountered misfortune, somehow ending up on Mr. George’s blacklist.
It was genuinely unsettling.
With only a few words, Isabelle succeeded in calming everyone’s anxieties.
Jasiel started visiting Taragon City more than ten years ago. He has also travelled abroad. I’ve had some interactions with him. Miss Jenkins, what specific information are you seeking?”
He was unaware of Isabelle’s motives.
Unable to ask further questions, he willingly assumed the role of an informant.
Isabelle responded, “Nothing”
Over a decade ago? She had been acquainted with him twenty years ago.
As the car halted at the entrance of the villa, Isabelle courteously proposed, “Would you like a cup of tea?”
George exited the car.
Before he could proceed, a phone call interrupted him.
He answered, his demeanour changing. I’ll come over immediately. Did you notify Mr. Garth?”
He hastily conveyed a message to Isabelle before pivoting and briskly walking away.
“What’s the rush?” Isabelle inquired from the doorway.
George replied, “My dad is seriously ill.”
He unlocked the car door, slid inside, and closed it, only to be yanked out from outside. Glancing up, he spotted Isabelle beside the car door, directing him firmly, “Get in.”
Once George was ushered inside, Isabelle followed suit and took her seat in the car.
He glanced at her briefly, remaining silent, and instructed Dylan, “Drive to the hospital.”
At the hospital’s highest level, the emergency room entrance appeared chaotic.
The Harris family, along with the hospital’s director, assistant director, and a host of medical professionals from diverse fields, convened amidst a gathering of spectators.
