Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 252 He’s an Old Man
Isabelle walked over.
George stood up when he saw her.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow and asked, “Your friend?”
George replied, “I don’t know her.”
Dylan added, “She was just asking for directions.”
The woman’s expression changed rapidly. She awkwardly tried to sit back down but hesitated.
Seeing Isabelle, who looked much younger than George, she tentatively asked, “Is this your sister? She’s really pretty. Your family has great genes.”
This comment hit a sore spot.
George’s face visibly darkened.
Dylan thought to himself, Wow, this woman really doesn’t know how to talk.
“Brother….you’re my older brother.” Isabelle glanced at George, her expression subtly changing.
George turned to the woman and said, “Miss, do you need something?”
Since George’s expression had turned hostile, all of the dozen bodyguards seated in the back stood up.
The woman was startled,
Isabelle watched the woman flee and then looked at George with an amused expression, which made George feel helpless.
Isabelle sat down and said, “I told you, Mr. Harris is excellent; there’s no need to envy others.”
George replied, “If this keeps happening, it just makes me seem very approachable and easy to get along with.”
Isabelle nodded in agreement. She said, “Maybe the other person is also extrodinary? At least she’s pretty!”
George stared at her intently and rebuked, “That also depends on who the other person is.” No matter how excellent, if it wasn’t the one he cares about, there was no reason to be happy.
Isabelle looked at him with a playful smile and suddenly asked, “If it were someone you liked, do you think it’s easy to win your favour, brother?”
Her eyebrows arched mischievously, and her eyes were full of teasing.
The word ‘brother‘ sent a jolt through George’s hear

Chapter 252 He’s an Old Man
Imagine someone who had wiped out the Dark Shadow assassins, two of whom were apparently high- ranking members. What kind of skills would such a task require? Now, he wonders how he feels to have such a powerful figure call him ‘brother.
Those assassins from Dark Shadow were not like the mercenaries from Melfrey, who only knew brute force.
Dylan couldn’t enjoy it.
Seeing George amused, Dylan thought, It seems like Mr. George can handle this, so it’s not a big problem.
George said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard you speak like this.”
He was nostalgic for the time back in Melfrey when Isabelle pretended to be a helpless student and claimed she felt safe around him.
And she didn’t even play the role sincerely.
Her phone vibrated in his pocket.
Isabelle pulled it out and answered a video call from Ethan.
“Sis, you haven’t boarded the plane yet?”
“Almost.
Isabelle didn’t go to Melfrey with Mr. Yves; she chose to return home.
Ethan was in his senior year of high school. The school holiday started late. He had only just returned to Norward for the holiday a few days ago and was currently staying at their father’s place.
“Sis, after you come back, are you going to Taragon?”
Ethan quietly asked as he was writing calligraphy on a piece of paper.
The siblings had spent more than a decade celebrating New Years together, and with the specia

“Uh–huh, Isabelle said, turning the camera to George.
George waved at Ethan.
Ethan, on the screen, looked a bit nervous. “Mr. Harris, Happy New Year.”
George said, “Your calligraphy is quite good.”
Ethan replied, “Thank you.”
Seeing Ethan’s nervousness, Isabelle turned the camera back to herself.
Ethan whispered, “Sis, are you spending the New Year with him?”
