Chapter 195 Suspicious
Seeing her father walk in, Bella asked, “Dad, why are you still up?”
Wade sat down beside her and said, “I need to ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“Earlier in the car, you mentioned that Dakota had a conflict with a girl at the birthday party, and that girl is your classmate.”
“Dad, I already told you. Dakota was the one who started it. Danny’s. grandpa saw it and scolded her. Is Dakota still crying?” Bella asked, feeling speechless.
Wade nodded and said, “I know. I simply had a question regarding the girl standing next to Danny; Is she the one who is pretty and has fair skin?”
Hearing her father compliment Isabelle, Bella pouted.
“What’s her name?”
“Isabelle Jenkins,” Bella replied reluctantly.
“Isabelle Jenkins,” Wade repeated softly, noting her last name.
“How old is she? Where is she from?”
“She’s a freshman, eighteen years old. She comes from a place called Norward, which is basically the countryside.”
She was eighteen years old and came from Norward.
Wade suppressed his thoughts. He smiled gently and said, “You shouldn’t speak ill of your classmate. Everyone is equal. If you trace back a few generations, everyone comes from a rural background. Since she’s your classmate, you should get along.”

“I just don’t like country folks. It was a country woman who caused Uncle Brad’s death and made Grandma like this,” Bella said, tossing her snacks aside.
Wade sighed and said, “Your uncle… It wasn’t as you thought. You were too young then. Anyway, don’t mention your uncle in front of your grandma.
“So, Isabelle, what is her family background? Have you heard her mention her parents or siblings?” Wade asked interestedly.
“Why are you asking about her, Dad?” Bella asked puzzlingly.
Wade smiled kindly and said, “Just curious. Did you have a falling out with this classmate? Tell me about it.”
Prompted by her father, Bella thought about her conflicts with Isabelle.
It all started when Isabelle took the title of campus belle, which led to constant comparisons from classmates and made her feel uneasy.
She then discovered that Isabelle was Layla’s sister, whom she disliked. She assumed Isabelle would be just as annoying, but it turned out not to be the
case.
Then Isabelle’s big talk annoyed her, but she actually managed to bring Jim in and prove her word.
Bella could handle losing a bet and didn’t hold a grudge over the 1.5 million. Isabelle didn’t humiliate her by making her perform the strip. dance that Danny suggested.
Even if Danny had added that part to the bet, if Isabelle was petty, she would have forced her to fulfill that bet.
Thinking it over, Bella felt a bit awkward and said, “It was really nothing.
“Then what is it? I think that girl seems nice. And getting into Taragon. University from Norward shows she’s outstanding. Why not make friends.
with her?” Wade suggested

“She took my title as campus belle.”
Wade chuckled and said, “Admitting others‘ strengths is a rare quality. Beauty isn’t just about looks. You’ve won numerous awards for piano and violin; I think you’re very talented. Looks are just a bonus. Aside from that, you’re beautiful too. Don’t worry about such trivial titles. Maybe she doesn’t care about being the campus belle. If I had a particularly handsome and talented classmate back in school, I’d want to be friends. It’d be cool and make me proud.”
Bella was silent for a moment, then added, “James likes her.”
Wade responded, “As long as it doesn’t harm others or break moral codes, anyone can like anyone. You and James aren’t dating, so he’s free to like someone else. Blaming Isabelle isn’t fair.“/
Bella clutched her pillow and said nothing.
“You like James. Then, work hard to become better and pursue him. Don’t be jealous of the girl he likes. That’s the wrong approach, and James. wouldn’t like a jealous girl, right?”
Wade patiently advised, “Having a big heart and being more tolerant than others is a rare and precious quality. If you can achieve that, I’d be very proud of you.”
