He turned to Isabelle, struggling for words, and finally said in a negotiating tone, "There's really not much to see here. Next time, let's bet on something else."
Isabelle, pretending not to understand, asked, "Not much to see in what way?"
George was blunt. "Their physique in every aspect."
Dylan thought to himself, Wow, he's jealous. With his upbringing and education, Mr. George would never criticise someone's appearance. Now he's actually commenting on their bodies. Isabelle agreed, "Yeah, they were pretty bad."
Dylan chimed in boldly, "Ms. Jenkins, these guys have no abs, no chest muscles, and they're as skinny as sticks. Their other parts aren't worth mentioning, either. They're nowhere near as fit as Mr. George." He gave her a thumbs up, looking proud and enthusiastic about promoting George.
George shot Dylan a cold look.
Dylan realised his mistake-he had overstepped. Not only were George and Isabelle not that close yet, but it was inappropriate to make such comments in front of two other men and a young woman. It was greatly inappropriate.
Dylan felt a wave of shame wash over him, compounded by the fact that Isabelle's demeanour often made him forget she was just a teenager.
Embarrassed, Dylan quickly tried to apologise.
Isabelle interjected, "Have you seen them?"
She directed the question at Dylan, but her eyes were on George.
Dylan almost choked on his words. He shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, I haven't. It's just
obvious.
Isabelle continued, "Then maybe we should make a bet with your boss sometime." She turned to Dylan and said, "You can enjoy the view with me." Dylan was on the verge of collapsing.
George tilted his head slightly, looking at her in puzzlement.
His expression, usually cold and restrained, was now unexpectedly rich and interesting.
The girl he liked was discussing his shape with his assistant, suggesting they all watch him strip for a bet.
George's only thought was that Dylan doesn't need to see this.
The doctor sneaked a glance at Isabelle, who undoubtedly overcame intense internal turmoil.

Isabelle was about to go upstairs to get changed when her phone buzzed. This was a phone call from White Owl. Isabelle had a bad feeling "Boss, Ethan is missing. He vanished from school, and the signal on his watch is gone. Jack and I are looking for him," White Owl said urgently. "I'll check on him," Isabelle said. She sat back on the sofa, grabbing the backup computer to trace Ethan's
location.
George asked, "What's wrong?"
"White Owl says they can't find Ethan," Isabelle replied.
George stood and sat on the armchair beside Isabelle.
"Your hand's just been bandaged. Let me help, George offered.
Isabelle responded, "I set up his watch's location system myself. I'm familiar with it."
Dylan followed and stood behind her.
Just then, Dylan received a call from his subordinates, informing him that Ethan was missing.
Dylan instructed his subordinates to search quietly while curiously watching Isabelle at work.
Isabelle reactivated the tracking on Ethan's watch and phone, confirming that a signal blocker was jamming the system rather than a hack.
The watch and phone were placed together, but she wasn't sure if they were with Ethan.
Isabelle instructed White Owl and Jack to continue searching. She hacked into Ethan's school's surveillance system, finding no issues with the equipment. This was clearly a targeted action. A regular signal blocker wouldn't be this effective.
The watch and phone's location showed they were in the easternmost building of the school, an arca without surveillance, indicating it was unused.
George informed me, "Ethan is in Class 3, in the second building to the right. The building on the far left is currently under demolition and not in use."
How did Ethan's belongings end up in an abandoned building? Why would Ethan
there?
Why would an abandoned building have a signal blocker?
While waiting for White Owl and Jack to investigate, Isabelle continued to monitor the school's surveillance system to find Ethan.,
Ethan attended a private school with top-notch facilities and hefty tuition fees. It had a good environment and comprehensive surveillance, which operated at all times.
Dylan watched in amazement, still holding the phone as if in conversation.
His gaze alternated between the rapidly changing screens and Isabelle's calm face.

This technique...
It was class time, and most students were in their classrooms, making it easier to spot suspicious individuals.
Soon, the screen showed a man with well-defined features and dark skin.
