Chapter 145 That Depends on Whether Isabelle Needs Me
“It was bad timing. When Isabelle got in touch with me, I was on a business trip in Senedele, so I had to fly back overnight. That’s why I look a bit tired.”
“Sir, does Isabelle have your personal contact <b>info</b>?”
“Of course.
The students reacted with surprise.
Jim pointed to another student. “Yes, you there.”
“Sir, do you know that Isabelle and Miss Sullivan made a bet involving you? The wager is 1.5 million.”
Jim responded, “Your principal told me about it when I arrived, so I hope Miss Sullivan will honour her
bet.
The studentsughed. “Don’t worry, Sir. Be wouldn’t dare back out.”
“Yeah, if you got involved, it wouldn’t just be about the money; Be would be in serious trouble.”
“Sir, there are rumours about you having a powerful background, and some even say you’re linked to the mafia. Is that true?”
Jim adjusted his sses and said, “I’m just an ordinary citizen.”
“Sir, what’s your rtionship with Isabelle?”
Jim paused for a moment, thinking. Then he smiled slightly and said, “She’s a close friend, someone I’ve known for a long time.”
The students asked many questions, none rted to the lecture.
Finally, a student raised their hand and asked, “Sir, will we get another chance to hear you lecture?”
Melissa, standing by the podium, looked at him eagerly, waiting for his
response.
Jim said, “That depends on whether Isabelle needs me.”
Reluctantly, the students watched as Jim left thew department and headed to the principal’s office. After politely declining the principal’s warm invitation, Jim quickly walked to a quiet pavilion.
Isabelle was already waiting there.
Seeing him, Isabelle calmly put away her phone. Thanks foring, Mr. Carter. Here’s your fee.
She slipped the card she had just gotten from Be into Jim’s suit pocket.
Jim nced at the pocket, then looked at her.
His gaze lingered on her delicate, beautiful, yet somewhat unfamiliar face, taking in each feature carefully.
Isabelle asked, “What are you looking at? Do I remind you of your friend <b>again</b>?”

Jim took a deep breath, “Half a month ago, Yves told me something incredibly unbelievable, beyond human understanding and eptance.”
Isabelle raised an eyebrow slightly.
No wonder he agreed immediately and rushed back overnight when I contacted him. It was because of Yoes‘ big mouth.
Seeing her raised eyebrow, Jim felt a wave of familiarity. His breathing tightened as he asked, “Is it really
you<b>?</b>”
Isabelle’s expression shifted slightly. She didn’t deny it. “Yes, it’s me”
Jim hesitated, his gaze lingering on Isabelle.
He was taken aback by the familiarity of her presence in a body that seemed so unfamiliar. For a moment, <b>he </b>was at a loss for words.
Eventually, he murmured to himself, “I firmly believe in materialism.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Isabelle responded, “I understand, but your beliefs might change after this.”
After a moment of confusion, Jim grinned. “That’s fine. I’m just <b>d </b>you’re here.”
“You can call me Isabelle Jenkins, she suggested.
“Isabelle Jenkins… It sounds simr to your name.”
He paused before asking, “What happened to the real Isabelle Jenkins?”
Isabelle exined. The day I died, she fell down the stairs and died too. It seems like fate.”
Jim nodded, trying to contain his excitement. After observing Isabelle <b>once </b>more, he opened his arms. “Would you like a hug? Let’s hug.
Isabelle smiled and hugged him back.
