Chapter 79 A Gift
<b>George </b>smiled slightly and said, “I should at least drink your wine, Miss Jenkins”
Isabelle nodded slightly but remained silent.
Then George saw her reach out, pour a full ss of wine, and hand it to him.
Before George could reart, the girl clinked her ss against his, making a clear sound as the sses touched. She said, “I’ll drink first in honour.”
Then she tilted her head back and finished the drink in one go.
The whole sequence of actions was incredibly handsome and stylish.
Even the way she held the wine ss was very cool and handsome.
Watching Isabelle casually drink the four million–dor wine like water, Dn felt a sharp pang of pain. <i>It </i>isn’t just wine she’s drinking: it’s like she’s drinking gold!
Isabelle poured herself another ss. Expensive wine was something else. It was a whole new life to finally be able to drink decent wine.
“Mr. Harris, feel free to drink. It’s on me.”
After saying that, Isabelle took her ss of wine and went upstairs.
George looked at the wine in his hand, then nced upstairs at the girl. After a moment, he chuckled softly to himself.
He thought Isabelle’s invitation to drink <b>was </b>around 7:30, the perfect time for dinner. He imagined a carefully decorated dining table, even if there were no candles or roses–at least a nice atmosphere–with a steak or something simr.
The reality proved that he had been overthinking.
The more George thought about it, the more he couldn’t help butugh. He shook his head, then tilted his head back and finished the wine in his ss in one gulp..
The rich liquid flowed over his tongue, George’s sexy Adam’s apple sliding down, and his deep gaze followed the figure in the second–floor corridor, licking the inside of his cheek.
“Mr. Harris, I just checked online. The bottle you just drank is priced at over 4 million, and this whole box is at least billions. Miss Jenkins <b>said </b>it was a gift from a friend. Spending tens of billions on wine as <b>a </b>gift must be an extraordinary rtionship.”
Dn wouldn’t react if it were a mansion worth billions. After all, it’s worth it.
But this wine was worth thousands <b>per </b>sip. Even if they were rich, they could not just throw it around like this.
Dn hinted at George to investigate Isabelle’s background and look into this friend.
He had never been this curious about someone before!

However, George only heard two words from Dn’s words–extraordinary rtionship.
George fell silent for a moment, then suddenly instructed, “Go and find something for me.”
With this box of wine, Isabelle’s mood had been quite good recently.
That day, Isabelle was upstairs in her room, typing on herputer, when suddenly someone knocked on
the door.
Isabelle didn’t lift her head and said. “Pleasee in, Mr. Harris.”
George asked, “Miss Jenkins, how did you know it was me?”
“It couldn’t have been anyone else,” Isabelle said without looking up, but she muted the screen before George walked over.
George nced at herputer out of curiosity. It was another game of Candy Crush.
“Mr. Harris, do you need something?” Isabelle set aside herputer.
“I’d like to give you something, Miss Jenkins. Perhaps you’ll like it.”
Sending me a gift? What’s going on here?

Isabelle looked at him, then saw George take something out of his pocket. She focused on it and became
interested.
Picking up the acupuncture bag George ced on the table, Isabelle opened it to reveal rows of slender silver needles.
Indeed, they were acupuncture needles.
She took out a few needles and examined them closely. The silver needles glinted softly in the light <b>and </b>felt cool in her hand.
Isabelle immediately tested a few needles on her arm.
Seeing Isabelle’s actions, <b>George </b>knew he had chosen the right gift.
“Mr. Harris, where did you find these?” Isabelle couldn’t help but ask.
These needles were better than <b>the </b>ones she had custom–made at <b>Maven </b>Apothecary for several hundred thousand.
“I got them by chance. I thought you would like them, so I brought them back.”
By chance? Isabelle thought: I didn’t realise you could be so good at making things up.
Not to mention <b>that </b>these needles were only avable in Cheshian. Even if some were in the resource-
<b>scarce </b>Melfrey, they would be crudely made. There’s no way they could reach this level of craftsmanship.
“<b>Mr. </b>Harris, you must have put much effort into finding these.”
Indeed.

George spent a lot of effort searching far and wide, eventually buying these needles at a high price from an old Cheshian doctor on the neighbouring continent.
The old doctor initially refused to sell them, saying they were a family heirloom meant to be passed down. to the next generation.
Although it took some effort, at least he managed to find and give such an item away.
“Miss Jenkins, I’m d you like it, George <b>said</b>.
Isabelle looked at the small needles in her hand. “I like it. It wille in handy.”
In the evening, Isabelle sat in the bathtub filled with water, with over twenty silver needles inserted into her body.
As the <b>final </b>needle was inserted, Isabelle slowly exhaled a breath of relief.
After waiting quietly for half an hour, Isabelle’s fair skin was gradually covered with a substance resembling oil or stains.
She touched it, feeling a sticky sensation on her skin.
She removed the needles and held her breath as she sank into the bathtub.
The water barely covered her scalp, and ayer of oily substance floated on the surface.
Her originally fair skin appeared even more radiant and glossy when she <b>surfaced </b><b>again</b>.
