It was a scene from Liam Carter's castle when he celebrated her birthday for her, and the photo was a picture of her with the cake,
Isabelle looked at the screen, then turned to him, her expression shifting from a smirk to genuine amusement. Finally, her look resembled that of someone indulging a child with special needs. Is it necessary to be so childish?
Seeing George's face pretending to be clueless, Isabelle was a bit speechless. Why is he being so dense?
Should she pretend not to have seen it, treating it as nothing, or ...
"Let me see the original picture," Isabelle said.
Joshua thought Isabelle was talking to him, subconsciously looking up at her, then realising she wasn't. He continued to lower his head to do his work. George looked at her. "Hmm?"
Noticing his slightly puzzled expression aimed at her, Isabelle then glanced at his phone. Quickly grasping the situation, she immediately pointed at his phone. Isabelle thought, Quite the pretender.
George opened his photo album and showed the picture to her.
Isabelle took the phone from him.
With the weather warming up, Isabelle put on a short-sleeved shirt, revealing a scar on her left arm that was several centimetres long.
The wound was too deep, even with the scar removal cream George gave her, it still left a mark. It's pretty noticeable on her delicate arm.
"You've got a scar," George couldn't help but remark.
Following his gaze to her arm, Isabelle shrugged it off, then looked back at him. "What about yours?"
George rolled up the sleeve of his suit jacket, unfastened the cufflink of his white shirt, and pushed up the sleeve, revealing an arm with a scar-this scar was because of her. Isabelle glanced at it, remained silent, and handed the phone back to him.
George busied himself with adjusting his sleeve, then heard Isabelle say to him, “I bought a new car, still using temporary plates.
George responded, "What numbers do you like? I'll have them sent over in a couple of days."
Isabelle, who had originally been facing Joshua, unconsciously turned her attention to George.

Isabelle whispered, "Any number is fine."
"Okay. What car did you buy?"
"Maybach, black."

George's hand paused slightly as he buttoned his cuff. He looked at her and smiled, whether it was a coincidence or not.
In his garage, Maybachs were plenty, and he mostly used cars from that series for his daily commutes.
Isabelle stood up. "Let's grab some food first."
At the dining table, George served soup and dishes for Isabelle.
Joshua, who sat alone across from them, remained silent throughout, keeping his head down and focusing on his meal.
Even though Joshua acted like he had no feelings for Isabelle, George still felt uneasy.
After all, in Isabelle's world, Joshua was an exception. With them studying together during the day, having one-on-one tutoring sessions after school, and sharing meals, it wouldn't take long for Joshua to start developing feelings for Isabelle, unless he was blind or gay.
As for Isabelle's feelings towards Joshua ... George stopped his train of thought there.
After their meal, Isabelle continued tutoring Joshua, while George, feeling like he was in the way, left after a while.
With Isabelle's help, Joshua began to catch up with the semester's coursework.
Isabelle was always right on time for classes, never arriving even a minute early.
As soon as she arrived today, she heard a commotion in the classroom. Both the front and back doors were blocked by a crowd of students from the neighbouring classes who had come to see what was happening.
Joshua remarked, "I told you I didn't steal anything!"
"I took the computer from your desk in front of everyone. What else do you have to say? Joshua, not to be harsh, but everyone knows about your family situation. This computer costs 1.8 thousand dollars, can you afford it given your family background?"
"If Joshua says it's his computer, then just open it up and let the class monitor see. That should settle it," a student suggested.
The class monitor replied, "See what? Check the wallpaper. There's no name on the computer, and besides, mine is new, without any marks. He could have easily wiped it clean, and anyone could claim it's theirs.
The class monitor said, "You've got no computer since you enrolled, and now suddenly, today, when my computer goes missing, you miraculously have one."
The counsellor said, "Let's all take a moment to calm down. Both of you, come with me to the office. Joshua, bring the computer."

The class monitor said, "Sir, I think it's best to sort this out in front of everyone. If I've wrongly accused him, I'll apologise, but if not, I request that we follow the school rules."
The counsellor, looking at the class monitor who was reluctant to go to the office, felt a bit overwhelmed. He then turned to Joshua and said, "Open the computer." Joshua clenched his fists and silently opened the computer.
The computer was clean, with nothing but some study materials. There wasn't even a logged-in WhatsApp
account.
Seeing that it's a brand-new computer, it could have been reset.
The counsellor asked, "When did you buy this computer? Do you have a receipt?"
Joshua responded, "It's a gift."
The class monitor scoffed quietly, and the nearby students whispered to each other.
