Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 12 You Can Call the Cop

Layla screamed, “Fat pig, open the door. Did you hear me? Open the door.”

“You’re afraid of me now, huh? Hiding inside won’t help you. Open the door, or I’ll beat you to death.”

Layla was banging on the door, shouting at the top of her lungs.

Isabelle suddenly opened the door from inside. Layla was leaning against the door with one foot and almost fell head over heels when the door opened abruptly.

She steadied herself, fuming with rage. She cursed Isabelle internally but didn’t utter a word because there was something more important to deal with.

When Isabelle opened the door, she almost couldn’t hold herself back from strangling Layla. The whole family was standing outside. Therefore, she barely held back her urges and swept her cold gaze over them.

Impatience and irritation were written all over her face, as if warning these people to be careful with

their words.

But they had no idea how serious the situation was.

Upon seeing her daughter, Eleanor immediately scolded, “Rascal! You finally have the nerve to come

out.

Her demeanour and gaze were one where she wanted to devour Isabelle.

She was holding the new clothes Isabelle had bought for Ethan. If it weren’t for Layla telling her than the clothes were incredibly expensive, costing a few thousand dollars for a piece, she would have thrown them in Isabelle’s face.

“Ever since you were born. I knew you were a jinx. But I didn’t expect you to be so bold as to break the law. It’s one thing for you to steal, but you even dragged your younger brother down.”

Eleanor glared at her fiercely and demanded, “Tell me, where did you steal the money from? Whose money did you steal? If you don’t confess, I’ll beat you to death.”

Eleanor then started to scan the room for a stick to beat Isabelle.

Fortunately, William intervened and said, “Don’t hit her yet. Ethan said the money wasn’t stolen. You have to listen to what the child has to say.”
