Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 216 Show Some Mercy

Who knows who'll be next?

"Mr. George?" Wade looked over at George first, then at Isabelle, feeling surprised.

Isabelle is acquainted with George, huh?

And from what he just said, it seems like he also has some kind of link to Isabelle. Is it possible that the girl everyone was talking about after Magnus' birthday party is Isabelle?

"This is beyond belief. You're just a country bumpkin, how could you have any acquaintance with Mr. George?" Dakota couldn't comprehend how someone she couldn't even envision, let alone encounter, would be connected to the country bumpkin she disdainfully regarded.

George's frosty stare scanned over Dakota, his voice even more frigid, "I advise you to weigh your words carefully."

Dakota felt intimidated by his demeanour.

Isabelle glanced at the Sullivans and asked, "Now that everyone's here, how should we tackle this? Let's hear your thoughts."

Maverik noticed George's sudden appearance and remembered the man seated beside Isabelle at the last auction. He felt a sense of familiarity from the man's posture and gaze. Could it really be George! Isabelle's words snapped him back to reality. He quickly spoke up, "Isabelle. I take full responsibility for this situation. I failed to properly guide her, and I apologise to your father. Please, just tell me what you need to feel content and at case, and I'll do it. I only hope you won't bear ill will towards this family."

Isabelle commented, "I have enough money, so I'm not worried about compensation. I'd prefer if you provide a different form of restitution."

Maverik asked, "What are you seeking?"

Isabelle replied nonchalantly, "Her limbs."

There was a moment of silence as everyone tried to process what they had just heard.

Maverik exclaimed, "What did you say?"

George added, "If it's only an arm or a leg, we can spare their lives. Miss Jenkins' alternative medicine. works wonders. It's quite simple to leave a disability with just a few needles. If she is inclined to show some mercy, it won't be too painful."

Upon hearing his explanation, they finally understood Isabelle's intent. Shock registered on the faces of everyone present, except for Dylan.

Wade questioned, "Isabelle, are you serious?"

George replied, "She doesn't jest with strangers."

Maverik remarked, "Isn't losing a hand or foot too harsh?

Dakota declined, especially with George present. She was reluctant to appear weak, and envy bubbled up

inside her.

The man she had dreamed of marrying, the one who had occupied her thoughts endlessly, never anticipated that their initial private encounter would transpire in such a way.

"I refuse to apologise. Why should I apologise? I didn't disclose the rumours about her being kept by

someone."

Maverik interjected. "Shut up and offer an apology!"

The more he exerted pressure, the stronger Dakota's resistance became, even prompting her to speak out of turn once again.

"Mr. George, this person is certainly not as innocent and harmless as you believe. Don't allow her to deceive you

Before Dakota could finish her sentence, her father slapped her.

Two consecutive slaps left her utterly stunned.

"You still don't grasp your mistake!" Maverik clenched his teeth and whispered, "Can't you perceive the gravity of the situation? If Isabelle utters a single word, it won't be long before the Sullivan Group is forced to rebrand. Are you intent on bringing harm to the entire Sullivan family?"

Dakota looked at George and finally realised that this time, it wasn't Isabelle she had angered, but George.

Instantly, a wave of fear engulfed her.

Maverik shook his head, feeling disappointed and helpless, declaring, "Call the police. You must face the repercussions of your actions. Until Isabelle grants you freedom, you'll stay here and reflect on your behaviour. The Sullivans won't intervene on your behalf.

"But Dad."

Dakota was terrified, and her concern for her reputation vanished, particularly in front of George. She begged her father not to call the police. Subsequently, she offered an apology to Isabelle.

One apology after another, Dakota found herself overwhelmed by her emotions, her voice rising in volume as tears cascaded down her cheeks.. Experiencing a mix of fear and embarrassment.

Danny clucked his tongue disapprovingly and commented, "If others didn't know better, they would think we were the ones bullying her. She's the one apologising as if she's the victim."

"Isabelle, it's my failing for not guiding her properly. I accept complete responsibility for her behaviour, and I extend my genuine apologies to you." Maverik lowered himself, offering sincere apologies to

Isabelle.

"Dad..." Observing her father, whom she had always looked up to, bowing and apologising to Isabelle, Dakota felt a blend of anger and bitterness,

Maverik declared, "I will ensure she steps forward today to clear up any misunderstandings."

Isabelle asked, "Is that all?"

Maverik replied. "Isabelle, you're free to hit her, curse at her, call the police, and have her arrested-I won't interfere. But cutting off her hands or feet... please, I beg you, spare her this time." Wade joined in the plea.

Magnus, observing the scene, approached Isabelle.

He whispered softly, "Isabelle, let's rethink the punishment. While this person's actions are deplorable, severing their hands and feet is extreme. Besides, you're now a part of the Sullivans, and that's a bond that can't be ignored. Your biological father and your two uncles shared a strong connection. If he were here, he wouldn't condone this. Think of it as repaying a debt to your biological father, and show some mercy."
