74

How much money can you make from a month of summer work? You even bought me flowers and at watch Isabelle shoved the card into his pocket. I can’t be bothered carrying this around, let me know if you need more.” 

Ethan thought about Isabelle’s temperament and finally accepted the card

Isabelle, I couldn’t help but notice the man who was with you when you got off the plane last night. Was he from Taragon City?” 

Why do you ask?” 

He struck me as someone out of the ordinary. I know you can handle yourself, but Taragon City is a whole different ballgame compared to our small town. I just worry that you might act impulsively. Especially now, you’ve become even more strikingly beautifulCan he watch out for you a bit?” 

Isabelle thought of George and nodded. Yes, he’s quite influential in Taragon City, even more so than the mayor. You don’t need to worry.” 

Although Ethan detected a hint of exaggeration in her tone, he felt somewhat reassured

Alright, just promise to call me if you need anything.Isabelle dragged her suitcase towards the departure hall

Ethan remained standing, watching her go. His hand gripped the card tightly in his pocket, feeling the weight of the money for the first time. It made him slightly nervous, but he was determined to manage it responsibly

George’s phone buzzed silently during the meeting, prompting a slight frown from him

Initially, he ignored it out of habit, but soon, almost involuntarily, his hand reached for the device

Upon seeing the caller’s identity, his frown softened, and he discreetly glanced at his nephew Sam seated beside him

With a subtle gesture, he interrupted the ongoing presentation and took the call

Miss Jenkins has arrived in Taragon City?” 

George’s voice cut through the room, causing the attentive staff to exchange puzzled glances

It was the first time they’d seen George take a call during a meeting

Even more surprising was his tone and the mention of Miss Jenkins.” 

George continued talking as if no one else was there. You’re arriving tonight? What time? Do you need me to pick you up?” 

Uncle George personally picking someone up? And with that eager tone? This was absolutely unheard of

On the other end of the line was a woman, a fact that left Sam staring at George in astonishment

His mind raced with questions, wondering. Is Uncle George finally falling in love after all these years?‘

Chapter 91 A New Beginning in Taragon City 

When did this happen? How come I didn’t hear any rumors?” 

Is there a prominent Jenkins family in Taragon City” 

And what about Miss Sullivant 

Meanwhile, in the departure lounge, Isabelle broached a different topic

I wanted to ask, was it Mr. Harris who arranged for the Harris family people to secretly protect me earlier?” 

Of course, George replied, slightly puzzled by her question

Isabelle continued. Oh, then they should still be around my house, right?” 

A hint of surprise flickered across George’s face. With Isabelle’s capabilities, it seemed odd that she wouldn’t already know if they were still present

The guards had long been withdrawn as they were deemed unnecessary

Having shared a roof with Isabelle for two months, George, being astute, grasped the implication behind her words and tone

Sensing her underlying request, he decided to play along. Yes, they’re still there,he assured her

Isabelle said, Then I feel relieved about my family in Norward City” 

So that’s what she was getting at

Understanding Isabelle’s true intention, George couldn’t contain his amusement, a smile spreading across his face, his eyes twinkling with amusement

It was a subtle exchange, a testament to the art of conversation

Isabelle had skillfully hinted at her desire for protection without making a direct request or seeking any explicit favor

To call her clever would be an understatement

The individuals in the meeting room observed George’s broad smile with a sense of unease, realizing the peculiarity of his behavior. Sam’s reaction mirrored their own astonishment, confirming just how out of the ordinary George’s actions were

Then I’ll leave my family’s safety to Mr. Harris,” Isabelle stated with a sense of trust

Miss Jenkins, rest assured, George assured her before ending the call. However, his initial impulse to task Dylan with the arrangement was checked by the reminder of Dylan’s recovery in Melfrey

After the meeting concluded, George delegated the task to another assistant, instructing them to select a dozen skilled guards to dispatch to the Jenkins Residence in Norward City

Following the Duel Tournament, Isabelle remained vigilant, knowing that Dark Shadow would likely target her. She sensed their presence during an outing, confirming her suspicions

If not for her associar
