Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 17 George Meets Isabelle Is This Your Boyfriend? 

Isabelle valued peace and quiet. Anyone who knew her even a little bit understood that she had a strong aversion to being disturbed while sleeping, which was almost as significant as being betrayed by 

someone she trusted. 

Even Yves, who had a close relationship with her, wouldn’t dare to disturb her sleep. The consequences were simply too much for him to bear. 

However, the person outside the door seemed oblivious to this, continuously knocking and calling out, “Isabelle? Isabelle? Are you in there?” 

Layla knocked on the door while straining to hear any movement inside. 

After a long period of silence, she furrowed her brows. She knew that Isabelle was awake. Was she intentionally ignoring her or occupied with something else inside? Layla remembered Ethan mentioning that Isabelle was skilled in coding and could make a lot of money from it. Although she didn’t want to believe or admit it, she couldn’t deny the possibility. 

If it weren’t for the new phone and computer, she wouldn’t have been patient enough to keep knocking on the door. 

After much internal struggle, Layla finally swallowed her disgust and called out to the person inside, whom she had been calling a fatso for years, in a way she least wanted to, “Sis…?” 

Before she could finish her sentence, the door suddenly swung open, and a hand swiftly grabbed b 

throat. 

Layla was startled by Isabelle’s icy gaze, but she couldn’t scream because she was being strangled. 

Isabelle showed no mercy. Layla’s face quickly turned red, struggling to breathe. The breakfast she bought to please Isabelle fell to the ground. She instinctively tried to pry Isabelle’s hand off and hit shoulder, but her efforts were in vain. 

“Sis.” Ethan rushed out of his room and was shocked by the scene before him. He quickly tried to intervene and stop Isabelle. 

Suppressing her murderous intent, Isabelle released her grip on Layla, who was gasping for breath, and threw her onto the ground. She glanced at the breakfast scattered on the floor, easily guessing what Layla had intended. 

“If you don’t want to die, stay away.” 

Layla was completely stunned. She took deep breaths tears streaming down her face from fear. After Isabelle returned to her room, she couldn’t help but cry out loud. 

Facing death for the first time, Layla was so terrified that her mind went blank and her body went limp. She sat on the ground, crying hysterically, completely disregarding her image. 

While she sobbed uncontrollably, there was suddenly a loud crash. Someone inside threw a glass cup impatiently, shattering it against the door.

Layla immediately fell silent and hurried back to her room. 

Ethan fetched a broom and silently cleaned up the scattered breakfast in front of Isabelle’s door. Then he mopped the floor. 

At that moment, the door opened. 

Ethan looked up and saw Isabelle standing in front of him. 

A few minutes later. Ethan was sitting in front of Isabelle’s computer, watching the rapid flow of data on 

the screen 

He looked up at Isabelle. 

She said. “Didn’t you want to learn hacking techniques I’ll teach you.” 

Ethan was taken aback, his eyes widening. 

“You mean…?” 

He couldn’t believe that he was standing in front of a legendary hacker. 

And this person was his sister! 

Ethan had fair skin, handsome features, and bright, clean eyes that were even more captivating than a girl’s. He exuded masculinity, albeit lacking the youthful vigor of a young man. However, it was this silent and introverted melancholy that gave him a unique charm. 

In this moment, he stared at Isabelle with his mouth slightly open and his eyes wide in surprise. looking incredibly cute and interesting. 

Isabelle liked this type of good-looking, quiet, and obedient person. 

She couldn’t help but reach out and touch Ethan’s chin, a playful action reminiscent of a mischievous young nobleman teasing an innocent girl in ancient times. 

Ethan obviously didn’t expect this, and after a moment of surprise, the innocent young man blushed. 

In that moment, Isabelle, who seemed harmless and even had a hint of a smile, made it hard for Ethan to associate her with the fierce person who had just wanted to strangle Layla to death. 

Isabelle didn’t tease him any further and began explaining the basics of hacking techniques. “Hacking techniques, in simple terms, involve discovering flaws and vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks, as well as the techniques to exploit these flaws. Flaws can include software vulnerabilities 

Ethan had a natural talent in this area and a high level of comprehension. Isabelle only needed to explain once, and he understood what she was saying He quickly got the hang of it. 

Smart people are always likable. Isabelle, with her genius-level talent, found Ethan even more. endearing. The bad mood caused by Layla had completely dissipated. 

After confirming that Ethan was capable of learning and genuinely interested in this matter, Isabelle

Ethan said, “Huh?” 

After purchasing a computer at the tech shop, Isabelle went to the bank to get a card. Before they knew. it, it was already noon. 

Ethan followed Isabelle back to the Glorious International Hotel. 

On their second visit, Ethan appeared much more composed, though his heart still raced. 

After lunch, the two of them took a taxi home. 

In an effort to increase her physical activity and lose weight, Isabelle decided to get off the taxi while they were still a considerable distance from home. 

Isabelle suggested that Ethan, who had difficulty walking, should continue the ride home. However,

Meanwhile, outside the old residential area, a luxury car was parked, its understated opulence attracting many onlookers. 

What drew even more attention was its license plate. It read, “Taragon A0000. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Inside the comfortably warm car, a man in a suit sat in the back seat, legs crossed, patiently waiting as he looked out the window. 

Soon, Isabelle came into view. 

“Sir, it’s her,” the driver-cum-assistant alerted the man as soon as he spotted Isabelle. 

When Sam had transferred money to Isabelle, he had also investigated the basic information of his saviour. The card Isabelle used was issued by the school, making it easy for Sam to find out without much effort. 

Before George left for Norward City on his behalf, Sam had already sent him Isabelle’s information.

Having been in the business world for many years, George had encountered all sorts of people. In his 

Isabelle was nothing special. She was just an ordinary girl, a bit overweight, with nothing particularly striking about her. 

He couldn’t comprehend why Sam was so concerned about her. 

Just as he was pondering this, Isabelle, who had nearly walked away, suddenly turned back and glanced at the car, her gaze meeting his accurately. 

George’s typically impassive face finally displayed a hint of emotion. 

She’s quite perceptive. An intelligent one. 

Observing her once more, he found her features quite pleasing. 

She will look even better once she loses weight.

Considering the amount of blood Sam had lost from the gunshot wound, most people, especially at young girl, would have been too scared to intervene. 

No wonder Master Sam couldn’t forget about his saviour. 

An electric bike zoomed past Isabelle and Ethan. Ethan quickly shielded Isabelle, who was distracted. 

“Sis, what’s wrong?” Ethan followed Isabelle’s gaze, only to see a car, and nothing else out of the ordinary. 

No, the mere presence of such a luxury car here was unusual enough. “This car … 

Due to the tinted car window, Isabelle couldn’t see the people inside. 

In fact, she had noticed the car the moment it came into her view, even before George did. 

However, she didn’t sense any ill intentions from the people in the car, so she didn’t pay attention to it, until the person inside unabashedly fixed his gaze on her. 

“Is there something wrong with this car?” Ethan asked 

“It’s nothing, let’s go.” Isabelle averted her gaze.

To reassure Sam, George took out his phone, opened the camera, and took a picture of Isabelle. 

Looking at the photo of Ethan walking alongside Isabelle, George wondered, Is this her boyfriend?
