Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 10 Luxury Spending

Ethan hesitated to touch such an expensive item. He carefully examined it to confirm that it was a genuine phone, not a dummy. He asked, “Where did you get it?”

“I bought it.”

“Where did you get so much money?”

“I have more.” Isabelle raised her hand and showed another phone.

Ethan’s eyes widened.

Each of these phones costs nearly 1,500 dollars. It’s not something affordable for ordinary wage carners. His sister was a poor student, yet she had bought two phones at once.

3.000 dollars was a sum their family couldn’t save, even by scrimping and saving for a year.

“Where did you get the money?”

He wondered did she steal or rob it from others like a gangster?

But those gangsters only rob students. A few hundred a day was considered good income. How could she make so much money from robbing others?

Isabelle explained, “I didn’t steal or rob. It’s all legitimate. Use it without worry. If it breaks, I’ll buy you

another one.”

Ethan gazed at Isabelle. Her face was both familiar and strangely different to him. A sense of trust welled up inside him, possibly sparked by the clamour etched on Isabelle’s face or her drastic changes. Or perhaps he was fully convinced that Isabelle’s previous naivety and incompetence had been an act.

“Okay.”

Ethan’s reaction over the phone was too dramatic, right?

If Isabelle’s brother knew about her assets, wouldn’t he faint from shock? Not to mention her assets, just showing him the remaining 147,000 dollars in her account would probably make his jaw drop.

“I’ll take you shopping tomorrow.” After saying this, Isabelle grabbed her new phone and went back to

her room.

Ethan carefully took the phone out of the box and held it in his hand for a while. He was so excited that his hands were somewhat stiff. He then remembered to take the SIM card out of his old phone and carefully put it into the new one.

The moment he turned on the phone, Ethan’s heartbeat accelerated, and his breathing became heavier. He felt like he was dreamin
