Isabelle gazed at him, her silence conveying everything.
James remained silent as well.
After making eye contact with Isabelle. Magnus suddenly shook his head and sighed, his expression filled with regret and sorrow.
Logan, puzzled, asked, “Grandpa, why are you sighing and shaking your head for no reason?”
Magnus shot him a look of mild irritation. “Because of how useless you are.”
Really, not being able to bring Isabelle to the mathematics department was one thing, but not even being able to bring her into his family as a granddaughter–in–law was another; she did not give him any chance
arall.
James, showing a humble demeanour, requested. “May I ask a few questions or exchange some thoughts? No, I mean seek some advice.
“Go ahead. I’m all ears. Isabelle responded.
As long as the conversation was not filled with idle chatter or pointless talk, Isabelle was quite willing to engage with people and participate in meaningful discussions.
After a series of questions. James found himself at a loss for words.
Magnus, who had been listening carefully, even ignored the dean of the medical school who had just arrived, leaving him unattended.
After the dinner, Isabelle left, with James following her out.
Logan also wanted to follow but was stopped by Magnus.
“Logan, do you have feelings for Isabelle?”
Logan’s cheeks reddening as he stuttered, “Isabelle is remarkable, and she’s kind–hearted. She even helped. me on the first day of school. So, I believe no one could dislike her.”
Magnus said, “As your grandfather, I’m not discouraging you, but consider the possibilities. James might have a better chance than you.”
The two might find common ground in their shared interest in mathematics.
It was late October.
The weather was still hot and humid.
Isabelle was spending her time in the school cafe.
Danny burst in as soon as he entered: “Isabelle, I’m in trouble, help me!”
Isabelle continued typing on her keyboard without looking up: “Okay.”

can’t just ignore a friend’s call for help.
Isabelle replied, “It’s none of my business.”
Danny persisted, “Isabelle, why are you suddenly so cold? Just a few days ago, you helped me beat all the levels in that game.
Isabelle said, “That was because I felt like playing.
Danny was left speechless.
Danny continued to ramble and complain, debating with Isabelle for over ten minutes. Isabelle glanced at the blazing sun outside, then turned to look at Danny, who was clearly in a bind.
Suppressing her annoyance, Isabelle said curtly, “Spill it.”
Danny exclaimed, “I accidentally drove away the foreign gold medal instructor my sister worked so hard to recruit. Now she’s roaming the school with a knife, looking for me. Can you help me figure out what to do?
“Let her stab you a few times; she won’t kill you,” Isabelle responded with unexpected leniency. “Once she’s calmed down, come find me, and I’ll patch you up.”
Danny fell silent.
“If you can come up with a solid plan to save me this time, I’ll owe you big time in the future.”
Isabelle found him increasingly tiresome.
“Just pay him to come back.”
“He’s already on a flight back to his country and too proud to take the money. I should have just tied him up and dragged him back.”
“Then find another one.”
“That’s easier said than done.”
Isabelle remained silent.
“Isabelle, don’t just ignore me, say something.”
Isabelle sighed. “What department are you in?”
“Law,” Danny responded.
Isabelle stopped typing and looked up at Danny, a bit taken aback. “You’re in the law school?”
Danny asked incredulously, “Do I not look like someone who knows the law?”
Isabelle listed, “You’re in the law school, but you take part in illegal street racing, gambling, group fights. intentional harm, threats, and kidnapping. What do you think?”
Danny replied, “Either way, I won’t be involved in that sort of thing going forward.”

Isabelle inquired, “How did you even get into the program?”
Danny explained, “I got in through pulling some strings. My grades could have been better, but there was an available spot in the law school, and they even provided me with a desk.
“My sister is a law professor at Taragon University. After she graduated, she chose to stay on as part of the faculty. My family had me enroll there so she could keep an eye on me. She went abroad for more studies after the New Year, and she just came back with a supposedly esteemed lecturer.”
Isabelle proposed, “Just find Jim. He’s qualified to teach you all.”
Upon hearing Jim’s name, Danny looked shocked and was momentarily speechless. “Are you joking, Isabelle?” he asked.
“Do you realise what you’re suggesting?” Danny questioned further.
Isabelle simply stared back, which only made Danny more agitated.
“If I could get Jim to come, why would I be asking you?
“If Jim were an option, why would my sister need to find that foreign lecturer?
“But you can get him, Isabelle. You actually know Jim, Danny pointed out.
Isabelle casually asked. “Is it really that hard to persuade him to give a lecture?”
Even though Jim was quite proud, he was open to negotiation if he was in a good mood. He might even show some deference to the Holmes family.
“Wow, the way you talk, it’s as if you could actually bring him here. Just because you’re from the countryside, you think you can talk big and shamelessly,” Bella said as she approached, her high heels clicking on the floor.
