Chapter 338 Recruitment 2
Back from a business trip and off to Lormere City again in no time.
Isabelle seemed to be constantly busy with Joshua’s stuff.
George, who was working overtime, managed to find time to send a message to Isabelle.
Are you also tutoring classmates tonight?
Yep.
George looked at the short reply and fell silent for a while.
Get some rest carly, he replied.
Isabelle saw that George seemed lost for words and was just about to chat with him when Joshua approached with a laptop, asking her a question.
George glanced at the screen, which displayed: The other party is typing…” But after waiting for a while, no message came through.
His mood shifted from anticipation to disappointment.
When Joshua left, Isabelle opened her phone to check their chat. It was already quite late, so she decided not to disturb him and turned off her phone before heading upstairs.
Isabelle was being followed by people from the 509 Supervision Bureau.
As soon as she left the school, she saw two people waiting for her at the school gate.
That middle–aged man was named Martin Vaughn.
As soon as he saw Isabelle, he walked over with a smile. Unlike last time, he was much friendlier.
He automatically pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took one out, and offered it to Isabelle. When he saw her indifferent gaze, he hesitated for a second, then gave an awkward smile and handed the cigarette to Joshua instead.
Joshua ignored him, but Martin didn’t care.
Martin introduced himself to Isabelle by his full name, then once again sincerely invited her on behalf of the 509 Supervision Bureau.
Isabelle decline. “I told you, I’m not interested in your department.”
If this had been a few days ago, the young man with Martin would have given Isabelle a disdainful look, expecting her to get the hint.
But now, he didn’t dare.
Martin said, “You can ask for anything you want.”
Isabelle asked, “Did you find the evidence?”

Martin replied. “No need to look for evidence when the problem’s already solved.”
Isabelle halted in her tracks.
The two men saw this and thought they might have a chance.
Isabelle said, “So, this is really how your department works?”

Martin was about to ask what she meant by that..
Isabelle continued, “I’m just a student, 1 don’t have that kind of ability.”
Martin, staring at Isabelle, who was much younger than him, asked uncertainly. “Then who does?”
Isabelle replied, “George, Recruit him. Put him to good use.”
Martin was speechless. “Uh…
Isabelle finished speaking and walked away.
Is it really not her? The young man asked, watching Isabelle leave.
In the evening. Joshua brought some takeout dumplings to the hospital.
Deborah had heard about the recent online upheaval from the TV and the nurses, and she asked Joshua about it worriedly.
Joshua said, “It’s fine. My classmate’s fine too.”
His mom finally relaxed. “That’s good.”
Seeing Joshua eating the tortellini hungrily, Deborah shakily scooped hers into his bowl, giving him most of them. Then she smiled as she watched him eat.
Joshua glanced at his mother. “You should have some too.”
Okay. Deborah took a bite, inspecting the filling. “Meat and cheese? I thought you didn’t like it.”
Joshua replied, “It was late. There wasn’t much left to buy, and there’s nothing I can’t eat.”
Looking at her son’s gaunt and tired face, Deborah asked with concern after a while, “Your dad hasn’t been bothering you lately, has he?”
Joshua said, “No.”
Deborah, worried and heartbroken, looked at him. “If he can’t find me, he’ll definitely take it out on you.”
Joshua said, “I’m not afraid.”
Remember when you were seven? He threatened me with a knife just because I wouldn’t buy him beer. You were so tiny, but you stood up to him, blocking me with your little body. You didn’t even flinch when he swung that kitchen knife.
Joshua remarked, “Let’s forget about that, and him too.”
