Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 142 Increased Stakes
Isabelle gave Be a cool look and said, “Mind your own business
Be shot back, “You are just a country bumpkin, aren’t you?”
Danny jumped in. “Why are you always hanging around? Are you that bored? Don’t you have anything else to talk about? Why interrupt others?”
Be cursed. “You…
Danny scolded back, “F*ck you!”
Danny <b>was </b>visibly upset, and Be continued to provoke him.
Despite her frustration, Be refrained from escting the argument. Previously, she had confronted Danny with support from her cousin, who had been engaged to George, but the engagement was swiftly terminated.
The entire issue started when George’s mother subtly suggested a potential marriage alliance, a move that was obvious to all involved.
Although her cousin had never met George, the proposal was quietly withdrawn, and George’s mother did not mention it again.
Now, her cousin spent her days at home, distraught.
If Danny found out about this, he would definitely make fun of her.
Biting her lip in frustration, Be red at Danny and dered, Tm not speaking to you.”
Turning back to Isabelle, clearly upset, she challenged, “Why continue the charade? Can’t keep up the facade any longer? You pretend to have experience when you don’t. Sure, seeking advice from Jim sounds simple, but can you actually approach someone of his stature? You might have heard of Jim, but do you really grasp his level of influence and status?”
Isabelle slightly furrowed her brow in response.
Just as Danny was gearing up to respond, Isabelle interjected calmly, “What if I get him toe here?”
Beughed mockingly. “If you manage to get Jim to give a lecture at Taragon University, or even just get him here, I’ll call you my father!”
Isabelle <b>shot </b>back, “I don’t have a daughter like you.”
Surprised and infuriated, Be snapped, “Are you scared? If not, then stop bragging next time<b>.</b>”
Be rolled her eyes contemptuously, showing her reluctance to continue the conversation. As she turned to go buy coffee, Isabelle suggested, “Let’s make <b>a </b><b>more </b>realistic bet.”
“You really are pushing it, Be murmured, irritated, “Fine, I’ll ept <b>any </b>bet you propose; just don’t chicken <b>out </b>if you lose.
“Isabelle, are you sure about this? Don’t… Danny started to whisper urgently, trying to signal to Isabelle.

Anxious thar Isabelle might back out, Be quickly asked, “What’s the bet?”
After giving Be a measured look, Isabelle reluctantly proposed, “Let’s keep it simple, 1.5 million
The sum neatly matched what it would cost to bring Jim to lecture.

Without missing a beat, Be agreed, “Okay, but if you lose, you have to crawl like a dog in front of the entire school.”
“Be, you’re being ridiculous. Maybe you should get some sun and clear your head,” Danny intervened before Isabelle could reply, mming his hand on the table, “Crawling like a dog? Why don’t you try dropping dead first?”
Be was startled by his reaction.
“What’s it to you?” she retorted.
Danny countered, “Alright, you want to bet? Let’s increase the stakes. If <b>you </b>lose, you have to do a striptease for me.
Blushing. Be faltered, “Y–You’re disgracefull
Danny retorted. “Feeling scared now? If you are, go bother someone else. You’re just annoying me,”
Irritated, Be turned to Isabelle and said firmly, “Let’s go ahead with the bet! And don’t think you can rely on your family’s clout to help her.”
She scoffed at Isabelle. “This country girl probably doesn’t even know how to spell Jim Carter’s name. It’s downright ridiculous.”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
Be was ready to escte the bet with Isabelle.
Isabelle, unfazed, was prepared to match the increased stakes.
With that, Be stormed off.
Danny paced back and forth, exasperated. “Do you even know who Jim is? Do you honestly think he’s just somewyer<b>?</b>”
Isabelle responded calmly, “He’s just awyer
This was just one of the many identities that Jim held.
Danny grew more agitated. “Just awyer? His background might be more extensive than my whole family’s. They say he’s the underworld prince! The underworld! Do you get it?”
Isabelle coolly replied, “There’s no need for rumours; it’s true.”
“Putting his mysterious past aside, even the title of the industry’s topwyer isn’t something ordinary people can achieve. Who is JinyCarter? The principal of our school tried personally to get him to lecture and was rejected. The Harris Group tried to hire him for their legal team and failed. It’s not just about money and power. For people like us, we can’t even get him to visit <b>the </b><b>school</b>, let alone lecture here.”
Danny kept on going.

Isabelle quickly changed the screens and shot a message to Jim. “Are you in the country, Mr. Carter?”
Isabelle pointed out, “Why did you increase the stakes then?”
Danny burst out, “I just can’t stand her.”
