Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 251 Arrangement
Isabelle countered his question with one of her own. “Isn’t it almost New Year? Aren’t you going home to spend it with your family?”
George replied. “Yes, New Year’s Eve is the day after tomorrow. What about you? How do you plan to
celebrate?”
She probably wouldn’t return to the Jenkins family, and it’s even less likely that she would return to the
Sullivans.
George asked, “Are you going to Melfrey with Yves?”
“For me, holidays are no different from regular days,” Isabelle replied, without specifying whether she would go to Melfrey with Mr. Yves.
George didn’t press further but played along. He said, “Every year is the same. Besides, I’ve always been a dutiful son to my parents, so missing one family meal isn’t a big deal. My parents and my aunt still remember your kindness, and I want to invite you to dinner and converse with you.”
Isabelle left most of the broth untouched. She put down her spoon and turned her chair towards George. She smiled slightly and said, “It feels like you’re inviting me to a New Year’s Eve dinner with your family, Mr. Harris.”
George smiled back and said, “I know it’s unlikely, but I still want to ask–will you spend New Year’s with
us?”
He extended the invitation.
Isabelle didn’t reply immediately.
While she was thinking, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Outside, Yves’s gentle, coaxing voice called out, “Sweetheart, are you up? I thought I heard you talking.”
Inside, Isabelle and George exchanged looks but didn’t say anything.
Yves didn’t want to disturb Isabelle if she was sleeping. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone moving a chair.
Isabelle stood up. She was intended to clean up the dishes, but George stepped forward. He offered, “I’ll do it–aren’t you going to finish it?”
Isabelle replied, “It’s a bit fishy.”
George apologised. “Sorry, this camp is full of burly men, and the cooking isn’t great.”
He carried the bowl and followed her out.
Yves’s dark expression revealed that he had been waiting for George for some time as Isabelle opened the door.
Yves smiled at Isabelle and said, “Sweetheart, breakfast was pretty good today. Why don’t you go downstairs and eat it? I need to talk with Mr. Harris.”

Chapter 251 Arrangement
Isabelle took the bowl from George’s hands and said to him, “If you can’t stand him, don’t hold back. “If your wound opens up, please come find me.”
She then reminded Yves. “We’re on their turf.
Isabelle walked past Yves without looking back and said to both men, “Keep it down. Don’t disturb Jim.”
George had no intention of fighting Yves. Regardless of winning or losing, there was nothing to gain. Yves was important to Isabelle, and he had a knack for playing the victim.
If he injured Yves, he would be at a loss.
Fortunately, Yves didn’t seem inclined to fight either. He just gave George a cold look, warning him, before turning to follow Isabelle.
“Sweetheart, wait for me.”
Two days later, at a certain airport.
In the departure lounge, George sat on a chair, occasionally checking his watch and looking in another direction.
Dylan also glanced in that direction before looking back at George. After two days of restraint, he couldn’t hold back any longer and asked tentatively, “Mr. George, it seems Miss Jenkins’s enemies are from Dark
Shadow”
George glanced at him and confirmed, “Yes,”
Dylan’s eyes widened as he asked, his gaze bright with curiosity. Do you have any thoughts or opinions on this?
George noticed that Dylan’s eyes seemed bigger than usual. Had he done some beauty treatments recently?
George asked, “What’s the matter? Can you help her take down Dark Shadow?”
Damn! Did he just misinterpret my question? And terribly wrong on top of that? Dylan was so frightened, he almost wanted to pluck out his eyeballs and put them in his pocket.
“You must be joking, Mr. George.” “With my limited skills, they’d find me too slow, even serving tea and carrying water for Dark Shadow.”
