Chapter 58 George Took Isabelle to Do Errands An Old Acquaintance Reappeared
Isabelle shifted her gaze and took a bite of her fruit salad before speaking slowly, “Mr. Harris, I was wondering if those men were your friends. They’ve been staring at you.”
What a clever way to divert attention. She was skilled at shifting blame.
Dylan, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Impressive.”
George replied, “It seems there has been a misunderstanding”
“Where are you going later, Mr. Harris?”
“I have some business to attend to. Do you have any plans, Miss Jenkins? You mentioned last night that you wanted to visit the fighting arena today. I can accompany you there in the evening
If this were before. Dylan would have thought that George’s constant attentiveness and consideration towards Isabelle were merely polite gestures. But after spending the whole night together inexplicably, everything had become different.
To Dylan, it all seemed ambiguous.
After all, when had Mr. George ever been so friendly and pleasant to anyone? Even if it was an act, he had never gone this far.
“Mr. Harris, mind if I tag along for your business errands? I’m afraid to wander around by myself. And this hotel…” Isabelle glanced at the suspicious glares directed their way. “I don’t exactly feel safe here either. These people don’t seem too trustworthy,”
Dylan wanted to say: “You’re in Melfrey now. What are you afraid of? Only our Mr. George would let you have fun.
“Miss Jenkins, there’s no need to be afraid. I’ll arrange for someone to accompany you.”
“But none of them make me feel as safe as you do, Mr. Harris.”
Dylan took a deep breath in silence.
What else could George say? He could only smile and remind her. “Accompanying me to do business con he even more dangerous.”
I e replied, “I trust that Mr. Harris can protect me.”
George nodded. “Of course.”
After breakfast.
While Isabelle went back to her room to use the restroom, Dylan quickly asked, “Mr. George, are you planning to take Miss Jenkins back to headquarters?”
Dylan wanted to remind George: “You said last night that it was a scenic spot.
George replied, “Notify the other party to change the meeting place to their territory. Get ready, we’re

going
Upon hearing this, Dylan was shocked. “Mr. George, this is too risky.”
George responded, “Miss Jenkins wants to come along, it’s not convenient to take her to the headquarters. He had a vague idea of why Isabelle was sticking to him and what her purpose might be.
“Since Miss Jenkins is coming along, we need to be even more careful. Those guys are obviously not easy to deal with. If anything happens to you…
George cut him off. “You talk too much.”
Isabelle followed George and his men out of the hotel.
After a night, the number of people around George had noticeably increased from the previous night, with dozens of luxury cars carrying sixty to seventy people.
There were probably more in the shadows.
So, Isabelle looked around and saw the guys from Hurricane staring at her in the hotel lobby.
Sure enough, after getting in the car, that familiar truck appeared in the rearview mirror again. Isabelle thought to herself, They’re like a bad penny.
I should have dealt with them when I had the chance in the middle of the night.
Then Isabelle turned her gaze to the man beside her.
The people from Hurricane didn’t dare to make a move, they only dared to follow. It seemed they were wary of George.
This Mr. Harris, what’s his background?
Noticing Isabelle’s gaze, George asked, “Is there something on my face?”
Isabelle replied, “No, I was just admiring your good looks.”
George couldn’t help but laugh. “Thank you.”
The
sky headed southeast for over two hours. The bustling streets gradually became desolate, the
rs turned into small houses, and the environment started to deteriorate. There were scattered. verywhere, standing still, watching their convoy pass by.
Soon a village appeared in front of them. The village wasn’t large, but it was nestled against a mountain and near a river, giving a sense of serenity.
The scenery was quite nice.
Except for the glaring weapons in the hands of the villagers and the large blood stains in the grass by the roadside that hadn’t been cleaned up, which somewhat marred the scenery.
The convoy was stopped by the guards at the entrance.
“If you’re scared you can wait for me in the car Gore said to Isabelle

Reappeared
Isabelle followed George out of the car.
The guards came forward, speaking in the local language, demanding a body search.
Dylan first looked at Isabelle, then at George,
Seeing that George didn’t say anything, Dylan let them search.
Then Isabelle saw them take a desert eagle from Dylan. She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Nice weapon, George is quite generous, equipping his subordinates with such high–quality guns.
George noticed Isabelle’s reaction.
After searching for Dylan, those people turned their gaze to George. Upon receiving George’s icy and dangerous warning look, they could only awkwardly shift their attention to Isabelle.
The result was the same.
So they had no choice but to give up, thinking that a young girl, even if she carried a weapon, wouldn’t pose much of a threat.
Dylan brought a dozen of his best subordinates to follow George into the camp, while the rest stayed. outside.
The camp was built of wood with two floors. Only when they walked in did they realise there was an open- air balcony inside.
The man who wanted to “do business” with George was already waiting on the balcony with tea brewed.
“Mr. Harris, welcome, welcome.”
Isaac pushed away the seductive woman in his arms, removed the cigarette from his mouth, stood up, and enthusiastically extended both hands to George.
This man was wearing a floral shirt and shorts, a pair of slippers, and a long scar on his face that split his left eye in two.
Isabelle raised an eyebrow. Another familiar face.
