Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 165 Jasiel's Adopted Son

Thus, George's hand moved instinctively, attempting to grasp Isabelle's hand.

However, he had been lost in thought for too long, wasting too much time. By the time he intended to act, Isabelle had already released her hand.

George found himself holding onto nothing but air.

After retracting her hand, Isabelle glanced briefly at his hand, remarking to herself. Why is his hand so hot?

Little did George realise that it was his own elevated body temperature that brought her back to her senses, prompting her to release her hand upon realising it.

As he rubbed his palm with his thumb, reminiscing about the soft touch and lingering warmth, George eventually looked at his now empty hand, sighing inwardly.

"4.5 million for the first time, 4.5 million for the second time, 4.5 million for the third time. Sold!' The host swiftly concluded, his words rushing out as if fearing any mishap. "Let's congratulate the lady." Contributing to charity, spurred on by the host, the audience applauded the lady's generosity.

Initially intending to witness Isabelle's embarrassment, Dakota unexpectedly found herself playing the fool. As she endured the mocking gazes of those around her and the deafening applause, she seethed with frustration, unable to lash out.

Amidst the applause, whispers were exchanged in hushed tones.

"This Ms. Sullivan doesn't seem capable of achieving much."

"I heard some rumours in the circle recently suggesting that the Harris family might be interested in forming a connection with the Sullivans. It seems like nothing but gossip now."

"The Harris family? The younger one or the older one? Don't tell me it's the older one. Mr. George is such a distinguished figure. Could he really take an interest?"

"Probably just the family worrying as they age. There's no way someone like him would take a liking to a spoiled and unruly young lady like her."

It seems like the Sullivans might be on the decline in this generation."

"Her father's generation was alright. All three brothers were capable. It's a shame about the eldest of the Sullivans, though, passing away prematurely." "Yeah, he didn't even leave behind an heir. And the remaining two brothers only had daughters, none of whom are capable of anything.

These words were undoubtedly a slap in the face for Dakota.

Unable to bear it any longer, she stood up abruptly, "Dad, I'm going home."

After uttering those words, she got up and left through the back door.

Maverik felt uncomfortable hearing those remarks too. He left his assistant in charge of liaising with the

After the auction concluded, everyone gradually approached the front row to exchange pleasantries and bid farewell to Jasiel.

Secing that Isabelle hadn't moved, the three of them remained seated.

She turned to look at him and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

George replied, "I'm waiting for you to leave together."

She obviously had something to attend to, and George couldn't fail to notice.

Sure enough, she asked him, "They're all going to greet the philanthropists. Mr. Harris, aren't you going?"

Being as clever as he was and knowing her so well, how could he not understand the meaning behind her words? He smiled and replied. "Let's go then." Although he wasn't sure what Isabelle was up to, he was willingly acting as her accomplice.

He rose from his seat and headed towards Jasiel at the front-

Isabelle and the others followed behind.

"Nice to meet you, Old Mr. Reeve, George greeted.

"Mr. George, what a pleasure to meet you. It's truly an honour for me to have your personal support," Jasiel responded.

"Engaging in charitable activities is only natural," George replied.

"Is this Mr. Sam?" Jasiel inquired. "He truly possesses remarkable talent and an extraordinary demeanour."

"You flatter me, Old Mr. Reeve. I'm still learning, Sam replied modestly.

The group exchanged pleasantries and polite conversation.

While the others engaged in conversation, Isabelle's gaze was fixed on the adopted son behind Jasiel.

Her straightforward gaze caught Josh's attention. As he glanced back, he saw the girl smile lightly at him.

She was stunningly beautiful, her presence exuding a captivating

gaura.

Earlier, when Isabelle and the Sullivans were bidding. Josh had noticed her. Shortly after, he noticed George beside her.

As he appraised them with his gaze, he heard the girl ask him, "Are you Old Mr. Reeve's....

Josh returned her smile and replied, "I'm his adopted son."

Isabelle remarked, "Doing so much great charity work without asking for anything in return and helping so many people-you guys are truly remarkable." Josh modestly responded, "You flatter me."

George turned around to see Isabelle engrossed in conversation with another man, his eyebrows subtly

Although his expression remained unchanged, there was a sudden chill in the air. He then turned to look at Josh, his gaze dark and piercing, as if assessing him with a sharp blade. Josh's appearance was indeed remarkable, but he lacked the pristine, innocent charm that Isabelle seemed to prefer-rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and a demure demeanour. Isabelle asked, "Can I have your contact information?"

"Of course, Josh replied.

As Isabelle took out her phone to save his personal contact information, George couldn't contain his frustration any longer. "Who is this?" he asked.

He had just speculated that she was approaching Jasiel, but he hadn't expected her to be interested in this younger one. He instantly regretted playing the role of the tool.

Jasiel interjected, "Mr. George, one can forget amidst many esteemed guests. This is my adopted son, whom you have met before."

Josh extended his hand to George and said, "Mr. George, we've met before."
