Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 19 Accusing Sam of Being Stingy in a Roundabout Way; a Problem Posed by the Head of Taragon University 

The Harris Residence, located in the city center, shone brightly like a high-hanging mirror, resembling a holiday resort with its colorful lights. 

Well-trained bodyguards in black suits patrolle 

back and forth. 

Dylan hurriedly climbed the expensive ebony staircase, admiring the exquisite carvings on the handrails that displayed a subtle luxury without any estentatious design. 

George didn’t fancy Western-style buildings. Instead of the flashy yet shallow Western-style architecture, he preferred the understated, stable, and atmospheric Cheshian-style buildings. The first floor was designed in a purely Western style to accommodate the high ceiling of the living room, while the second floor blended Cheshian and Western elements, with Cheshian elements taking precedence. 

Walking through the long corridor, Dylan knocked on the study door and, upon receiving permission, entered. 

“Mr. George, Mr. Sam.” 

The uncle and nephew were seated on the sofa, engrossed in their work, with several folders spread out on the heavy rosewood desk. 

Sam was pouring tea for his uncle, George, when he noticed Dylan’s intriguing expression. 

It could be described as such. 

Curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter?” 

Dylan replied, “Our guy was discovered by that girl.” 

George and Sam exchanged glances. 

Sam questioned, “Discovered?” 

How is that possible? 

“Just now, when the girl left, she spotted our guy.” Dylan found it hard to believe. 

Since it was personally ordered by George, he naturally couldn’t afford to be careless. The people he selected were all highly skilled and adept at avoiding detection, yet they were discovered by an ordinary female student. 

Sam inquired, “Was she scared?” 

Dylan looked even more surprised. After choosing his words carefully, he said, “I believe it’s our guy who should be scared.” 

Sam was momentarily stunned, but when he saw Dylan’s expression, he almost burst out laughing. However, he managed to hold it in because George was present.

To cover 

up his embarrassment, he remarked to George, “She truly is a clever girl.” 

Upon hearing the news initially, Sam was also taken aback. However, considering Isabelle’s intelligence and courage, he didn’t find it too surprising that their underling was discovered by her. 

Dylan added, “Yes, so our guy revealed his identity and purpose to her to prevent any trouble for her.” 

George inquired, “And then? What did she say?” 

However, Dylan was looking at Sam, his face filled with hesitation, as if contemplating whether or not to reveal it. 

Observing this, Sam quickly asked, “Did she mention me?” 

He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of anticipation. 

He had fever encountered such an interesting girl before and was genuinely curious about what Isabelle would say about him. 

“Yes.” Dylan pondered for a moment, then relayed Isabelle’s words verbatim, “She said, and I quote, so the Harris family’s money is all spent on hiring bodyguards.” 

Sam questioned, “What does that mean?” 

Sam didn’t understand at all, but he heard George asked, “How much money did you give her?” 

Prompted by George, Sam seemed to grasp her meaning. “150 thousand.” 

I knew it. 

George remarked, “No wonder she said that all our money is spent on hiring bodyguards.” 

This was a roundabout way of accusing Sam of being stingy. 

Sam remained silent. 

“I was afraid of scaring her, and besides, 150 thousand is not a small amount for a teenage student. 

George didn’t respond but turned to his assistant and asked, “Did she ask for money?” 

Dylan shook his head. “No, she didn’t say anything else.” 

If Isabelle had requested more money at that time, Harris family had no reason to refuse, but she 

didn’t. 

This made both Sam and George regard her with more respect 

Seeing that the two of them falling silent, Dylan inquired on behalf of his subordinates, “Should our people continue to protect her in secret?” 

Since they had been completely exposed by the other party, it was a bit… Dylan felt embarrassed for his subordinates.

Sam replied, “Of course. She is intelligent but lacks martial arts skills. We must ensure her personal safety.” 

Realizing that he had been too anxious and had lost his composure in front of his elder, Sam immediately looked at George, who had yet to speak. 

Seeing that George’s expression remained unchanged, he breathed a sigh of relief. 

George gave a slight nod to his assistant, signifying tacit approval. 

Dylan agreed, but he had a strange feeling that Isabelle didn’t require their protection. However, he didn’t dare to voice this absurd thought.. 

Sam began to regret not insisting on going to Norward City to meet Isabelle in person that morning. 

Realising that George’s gaze was fixed on him and aware of his own absent-mindedness, Sam quickly gathered his thoughts and covered up with a remark, She truly is an extraordinary girl.” 

George remained silent. 

Yes, she is extraordinary and not as simple as she appears. 

Her decisive and somewhat individualistic demeanour inexplicably reminded him of the genius assassin who died in the sea. 

However, the two were worlds apart, with no basis for comparison. 

Ethan, holding a copied math problem, knocked on Isabelle’s door. 

“Sis, can you solve this problem?”) 

Isabelle took it, examined the problem, and her eyebrows raised slightly. “Where did you get this problem?” 

The problem was particularly tricky but quite intriguing. 

“It was created by the head of Taragon University and several professors last year. Apparently, they couldn’t solve it themselves, so they posted the problem online to see if anyone could solve it.” 

“The head of Taragon University personally promised that any student who could solve this problem would be granted direct admission to Taragon University, with their choice of major. For adults, they could choose any position at Taragon University. Many math enthusiasts attempted it, but none could provide the correct answer. They all got stuck halfway through the problem. Even James, who is renowned as a math genius, couldn’t solve it after pondering for half a year.” 

Due to his leg injury, Ethan had to exert more effort than anyone else. He had no friends or hobbies, so he dedicated all his passion and time to his interest in mathematics. 

He was self-studying first-year university-level math and had acquired some relevant knowledge in advance for this particular problem. However, every time he attempted to tackle it, he found himself at 

3/4 

Ethan had been eagerly anticipating the release of the solution by the math prodigy, James. 

However, half a year had passed, and there was still no news. 

Last month, James publicly shared the initial part of the solution, but it was still far from reaching the final answer. 

At that moment. Ethan believed that if even James couldn’t solve it, there might not be anyone in the world capable of doing so. 

But now, he felt that the answer he had been waiting for half a year was finally within reach. 

Isabelle didn’t disappoint Ethan. She took the notebook with the problem written in it and confidently stated, “Give me half an hour.” 

“Half an hour?” Ethan’s eyes widened, making sure he hadn’t misheard. It couldn’t be half a month or half a year, rightt 

Ethan realised that he had been widening his eyes frequently lately. 

Before Ethan could inquire whether she meant half a month or half a year, Isabelle closed the door and began working on the problem. 

Observing this, Ethan’s initial skepticism gradually transformed into anticipation, and then excitement, causing his heart to beat faster and faster. 

He decided to stay put and wait by the door, refusing to go anywhere. 

He continuously checked his watch, counting every passing minute and second. 

The room fell into silence, interrupted only by the occasional sound of pages being turned, maki time feel unbearably long. 

Finally, on Ethan’s umpteenth time checking his watch, the door suddenly swung open, and Isabelle stood there, holding his notebook. 

Before Isabelle could question why he was waiting by the door, Ethan hastily asked, “Did you solve it?” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Isabelle handed him the notebook.
