“That handsome guy with white hair last time, I think I look better than him and George,” Danny said. suddenly tidying his hair and clearing his throat. “Boss, how do I look to you?”
Isabelle replied, “Pretty good”
Danny felt a bit embarrassed. “Really?”
“Hmm, but I’m too excellent, you’re not up to par,” Isabelle said.
Danny was lost for words.
Outside the hospital ward, Isabelle stood in front of the car, looking up at the fifth floor where Joshua was located, lost in thought.
Danny drove the car. “Boss, where are we going?”
Joshua had been unconscious for a day, and now it was already dark outside.
Isabelle watched the scenery passing by outside the car window. Initially, she didn’t want to meddle in Joshua’s family affairs, but considering that Deborah was Storm Shadow’s mother, Isabelle asked Danny to turn the car around.
At a discreet underground gambling den, Gideon Marley, Joshua’s father, was thrown out by someone, dusted himself off, cursed under his breath, and walked away.
A beam of headlights shone, blinding Gideon’s for a moment.
He cursed at the car, and as he passed by, he glanced inside before turning back to spit in its direction.
Taking a few steps, he heard someone seemingly calling out to him.
“Hey!”
Gideon turned around, only to be knocked down by a punch from Danny.
Danny dragged the person to a corner and gave Gideon a good beating, causing him to plead for mercy continuously.
Finally, grabbing Gideon by the collar, he warned, “Open your damn eyes wide and see clearly who’s beating you up. I’m Joshua’s classmate. If I find out you’ve laid a hand on Joshua, if I find out you’re bothering him and his mom again, I’ll slap you dead with one hand!”
With that, Danny slapped Gideon again.
Gideon cried and pleaded, “I–I won’t dare anymore…
Danny got angry at the sight of him being such a coward and threw him to the ground.
“D*mn, what a piece of tr*sh! Beating up your wife and son like that. Hitting se’m like you makes me feel dirty.
“Stay the hell away from Joshua from now on. If I see any marks on him, I’ll remember your face, got it?”

Muttering curses, Danny returned to the car. “What’s up with this guy? Having a son like Joshua must be at genetic mutation.”
Isabelle said. “My brother’s also a genetic mutation.”
Danny said, “Yet you don’t let me meet him. I won’t eat him, you know.”
“Wait until he gets into Taragon University. You’ll meet him then, Isabelle said.
Danny grinned. “Okay, Boss, whatever you say.”
George worried about Isabelle’s eyes.
But for several evenings in a row, George didn’t see Isabelle.
She was either tied up with something or hitting the evening study sessions.
Meanwhile, on the forum, a new face named Joshua emerged around Isabelle. This new student’s fresh face caught George’s attention.
On the forum, there were more posts about the two of them.
Comments suggested that Isabelle actively reached out to the new student, sharing notes and lining up for food at Joshua’s section. They were seen eating together at the same table.
Some witnessed them leaving together halfway through the evening study sessions.
Despite their aloof demeanour, they were seen conversing multiple times.
Furthermore, some classmates talked about spotting them having a late–night snack together at a noodle shop.
No pics, and no proof, so many didn’t buy it.
The informant claimed they saw a fancy sports car parked outside the shop, the same one driven by Yves, but with its front end smashed,
Later, they spotted the two inside the shop.
Their story was detailed and convincing, quite believable indeed.
It was Friday, almost time to clock out, and Dylan took a sneaky peek at the forum. He found quite a few posts hinting that “Mr. George’s getting dumped“.
Dylan muttered, “The car got wrecked? Is Miss Jenkins alright?”
Then it hit him. “Mr. George’s getting cheated on?”
Nope.
They aren’t even in a relationship.
He dosen’t spon hane the aualifications da met dunned
