Chapter 140 Not Her Strong Suits


    Isabelle knew it..


    “Isabelle!” Logan was excited to see her.


    He had made an effort to dress up and change his clothes beforeing here.


    James, a man of few words and someone who had initially harboured a slight bias against Isabelle, was still figuring out how to greet her.


    Just


    as he was about to say “hello,” he overheard his younger brother questioning their grandfather, “Grandpa, was Mr. Garth here? Is your headache acting up again?”


    Magnus responded, “No, he didn’t. Isabelle did the treatment for me.”


    Logan, caught off guard, eximed, “Oh<b>?</b>”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    He wondered, Could she do that?


    At that moment, James noticed the seven or eight shiny needles inserted in his grandfather’s head and then nced at Isabelle.


    “Isabelle, these are my two grandsons whom I told you about, Magnus introduced them warmly.


    Only a few professors at Taragon University, as well as Danny and Be knew that these two were Magnus’s grandsons.


    Normally, the brothers addressed the principal as everyone else did at school, per Magnus’s request.


    Both the Burtons and Lennons held prestigious positions in Taragon City,


    Magnus, whether in his role as the head of the Burton family or as the principal of Taragon University, maintained a high reputation throughout Taragon City.


    Magnus hoped the two brothers would remain humble and avoid the ostentatious behaviour typical of other wealthy young masters.


    “I haven’t mentioned this yet, butst time, Isabelle saved me when I copsed at the entrance of the mall and nearly had a stroke,” Magnus shared with the brothers.


    Both <b>brothers </b>turned to look at Isabelle<b>.</b>


    Logan, looking astonished, asked, “Isabelle, do you know alternative medicine? And acupuncture?”


    Isabelle responded modestly, “A bir.”


    Magnusughed. “Don’t downy it. I am the best judge of your medical skills.


    Logan continued, “But you’re so young. Shouldn’t practitioners of alternative medicine be in their sixties or seventies? Who taught you? Did you study under a master? If you <b>have </b>studied medicine, why didn’t you go to medical <b>school</b>?”


    Magnus interjected, “Why do you <b>have </b>so many questions?”

    Logan backed down.


    Magnus went on, “Isabelle has <b>said </b>that neither alternative medicine nor mathematics are her strong suits.


    Logan looked surprised again. “Not strong in mathematics? But you’ve solved those problems on the


    forum.”


    James, who had been quiet, just watched Isabelle closely.


    Magnus smiled and asked, “Isabelle, what do you think of my two grandsons<b>?</b><b>”</b>


    Upon hearing his grandfather’s question, Logan did not fully understand what was being asked but instinctively straightened up.


    He also sneaked a nce at his brother.


    Isabelle observed the two brothers and then casually raised an eyebrow, “Do you really want my opinion?”


    Magnus dismissed it with a wave of his hand. “Never mind, never mind


    He did not want to make anotherparison with George–it would only demoralize the brothers.


    Logan could not help but wonder, Does this mean we don’t measure up?


    James settled back onto the sofa.


    “La said she solved that problem in two months. How long did it take you?”


    He vividly remembered the day Isabelle used four ckboards in theb to outline the solution.


    Considering Isabelle’s formidable intellect, it seemed unlikely it took her two months.


    Isabelle nced at James and responded candidly, “Ten to twenty minutes?”


    She had not timed herself precisely; she just recalled telling Ethan that she had not beenpletely focused on the problem and had even taken a break to type on theputer.


    Jammes inhaled sharply and <b>asked</b>, “How long?”


    Magnus sat up attentively and fixed his eyes on Isabelle.


    Isabelle met <b>his </b>gaze, evidently hesitant to repeat herself.


    Magnus looked at her, shaking his head in disbelief. “Isabelle, are you being serious?”


    Isabelle answered inly, “I am nof La


    James took a deep breath, struggling to <b>make </b><b>sense </b>of her response. He had anticipated a reasonable timeframe, perhaps a month, that someone known <b>as </b><b>a </b><b>childhood </b>prodigy might <b>need </b>to tackle such problems.


    But ten to twenty minutes?


    That concept was unfathomable to him.

    James found himself observing Isabelle’s profile intently as if trying to figure out how it was structured and what was inside it.


    Previously, James would never have believed it.


    However, he had seen with his own eyes how Isabelle effortlessly and casually wrote out the solution steps. on those fourrge ckboards in one go.


    “What did you see? Logan asked James innocently.
