Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 289 Have You Found Your Friend?
“I have arrived. I’ll help you find your friend. Is this person very important to you?”
Isabelle asked, “Why do you think I travelled so far? Why did I come all the way here?”
Mr. Carter answered, “Maybe you came to see me.”
Isabelle said, “Then I would rather see your cat.”

Mr. Carter added, “Alright. Since I helped you, can I make a request? It’s been so long. Isn’t it time for me to see your real face? Last time, when you took something from Luxe Luster, even the boss of Luxe Luster saw you and said you were gorgeous. But from his description, you don’t look like I imagined, and you seem younger.
Liam Carter was the boss of Luxe Luster.
Back then, he lost Luxe Luster to her in a bet. Later, because of the gene extraction matter involving Dark Shadow, Isabelle returned Luxe Luster to him.
Isabelle said, “Let’s talk after we find the person.”
Mr. Carter continued, “Then I’ll take that as a yes.”
Isabelle asked, “Shouldn’t you ask who took away my friend?”
Mr. Carter replied, “From what you’re saying, the other side should be terrifying, but thinking carefully, it seems there’s no one I should be afraid of
Isabelle continued, “That’s good then.”
To save the trouble of saying she was not kind–hearted later on.
Dark Shadow refused to show up, and who knew what they were plotting? Isabelle’s aimless searching was just a waste of effort.
Anyway, Dark Shadow’s target is her, not Jack. Isabelle was too lazy to go around like a headless fly, making Dark Shadow laugh.
She hated the feeling of being led around by the nose.
Let’s see who loses patience first.
Isabelle left the slums, entered a slightly more bustling neighbourhood, and turned into a bar.
After tossing and turning for two days and nights, Isabelle found an empty bar counter, sat down, and ordered a drink.
Isabelle had just taken a sip when George’s phone call came in. She answered it.
“How’s it going? Where are you now?
Tm still on Earth, still able to call you.” Isabelle wondered if Dark Shadow had set up a trap
for her.

him to come over.
“Are you in a bar?” He asked uncertainly, hearing the sounds from Isabelle’s end.
“Yep” Isabelle opened the camera, took a picture of her drink on the bar counter, and then tent it over.
George looked at it and fell silent momentarily, then said, “I want to come and find you. I know there’s danger
At that moment, there was a commotion at the bar’s entrance.
There were twenty or so men who looked like Royal Guards entering.
Isabelle seized the moment and told George, “Wait for my message.”
And then she hung up the phone.
The noisy bar immediately quieted down. The Duke is looking for someone. Please cooperate, they said. They were here to check.
They quickly moved into action.
The leader spotted Isabelle sitting alone at the bar, drinking by herself.
“I haven’t seen you before. You don’t seem to be a resident here. Where are you from? When did you arrive? Please provide your ID.”
The leader stepped forward and began questioning Isabelle in a foreign language.
Isabelle handed over her ID card to the leader.
The ID card had been reissued after Isabelle lost weight. After inspecting it, the leader returned the card to
her without issue.
The leader continued with the previous questions.
The leader was conscientious, but Isabelle just wanted to sit quietly and have a drink for a while, so she called Liar.
“Mr. Carter, you can have your people leave now.”
“Have you found your friend?”
“No, I’m waiting for them to come to me.”
“Okay, understood. Contact me anytime if you need anything.”
