Resurrecting the Genius Within (Calypso Rain) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Mayor Foster in the Principal’s Office: Miss Jenkins

That was how ordinary people viewed him. In reality. Jim was a man who operated in the gray area between the lawful and unlawful worlds. He took on cases that others were too afraid to touch as they would involve the dirtiest of situations. Even the top bosses in the criminal underworld showed him respect. They would address him as Mr. Carter and send him gifts on holidays.

Furthermore, Jim’s mysterious and powerful personal background added to the fear people have of him. There were rumours that he was the prince of the underworld and his father was the leader of the largest criminal organisation in Southeast Ardon. However, whether this was true or not remained unknown to outsiders.

Once, someone attempted to investigate Jim’s background after he handled a murder case. Not only did they fail to find anything, but they also found themselves in trouble.

Jim thought, An anonymous friend? When Jim heard that, his hand that was holding a pen paused and he lifted his head. Yves. He wondered, Is she Yves’ friend? Why does she sound so young? Yves was not his real name and no one knew what his real name was. He had earned this nickname over time due to his status and the need for discretion. Jim could not neglect a friend of Yves, so he asked, “Where are you? Are you in the country or abroad? I will arrange for someone to come immediately.”

Isabelle replied, “I am in the country. Specifically Helios District of Norward City.”

“I happened to come here on a business trip two days ago and I was about to leave. Give me your exact location and I will come right away. Send ine the relevant information too and I will familiarise myself with the situation on the way.”

“I am at Norward High, but I don’t have any information.” Isabelle glanced at the school leaders, had unpleasant expressions on their faces, and continued calmly, “I am with the defendants.”

Norward High? A high school?

The defendants?

“If you’re unsafe, I can send more people over.”

Considering his profession and the fact that the other party is a friend of Yves, Jim would never thought that his client was facing a few school leaders who posed no danger and had no combat power.

Isabelle replied, “It’s fine.”

Jim said, “Tell me the specifics first.”

Isabelle calmly explained, “Slander, defamation, threats, and damage to personal reputation. I am the plaintiff and the defendants are the school leaders of Norward High.”

“This was the first time Jim had taken on such a case.

A case as trivial as this would never reach his law firm and he would never personally handle it. However, the fact that the other party was a friend of Yves changed everything.

“Okay, remember to be safe. Don’t argue with them unnecessarily before I arrive. You have the right to

remain silent.” Jim glanced at his watch. “I will try to arrive within 45 minutes.” He then instructed his assistant to drive faster.

“Isabelle, have you lost your mind? I think you’ve watched too many gangster movies and are crazed.”

The homeroom teacher looked at Isabelle as if she were insane. She thought that Isabelle either had a brain injury from the fall or had driven herself crazy with her low moods so that was why she was imitating movie plots.

“Bringing a mobile phone to school shows that you don’t take school rules seriously. This time, I need to have a serious talk with your parents.” The homeroom teacher once again attempted to snatch the phone.

Isabelle effortlessly grabbed the teacher’s hand and twisted it, causing the teacher to cry out in pain.

Everyone present was startled.

“Isabelle, what are you doing? Are you going to attack your teacher? Let go of her now! You’re completely out of control.” The math teacher intervened.

Isabelle pushed her away and said, “From now on, we are in a plaintiff-defendant relationship. Put away your authoritative attitude as school leaders and wait quietly for the lawyer to arrive. That way, you will all be safe.”

It seemed like a reminder, but it was actually a warning.

The hometown teacher stumbled a few steps backward, turned around, and glared furiously at Isabelle.

“Isabelle, I think you’ve lost your mind.”

Everyone thought Isabelle was crazy.

“You can choose to call the police or I can do it for you.” After she said this, Isabelle dialed 911 in front of them.

No one believed that the person on the previous call was a lawyer, let alone that Isabelle could really bring someone over.
