Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 21 James’s Search for Contact Information; Finishing the Test Early

Layla thought the food was tasteless. She hadn’t been eating much.

Isabelle could casually take out 300 dollars, which was equivalent to her mother’s monthly salary. She didn’t even have that much for several months of pocket money.

Layla turned her head to look at Isabelle, who was returning to her room. From head to toe, Isabelle was dressed in designer brands that she herself could only dream of wearing. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t understand how Isabelle had suddenly become neither stupid nor weak, and was even able to earn a lot of money.

In the past, Isabelle couldn’t even compare to her. She was always hunched over, submissive, and never dared to look her in the eye, let alone talk back.

Layla couldn’t accept the huge gap brought about by Isabelle’s transformation.

Moreover, she noticed that Isabelle had become more attractive after losing some weight.

Just the thought of Isabelle becoming thinner and prettier in the near future made Layla feel extremely anxious and uncomfortable.

Looking at the two plates of vegetables that she had no appetite for, Layla threw her cutlery down, got up, and returned to her room to study.

So what if Isabelle became thinner, prettier, and could earn money?

With such low scores, she wouldn’t even be able to get into the worst university, while her own gra were good enough to get into a prestigious university

By the time they graduated from university, she would have a decent job and would be sitting in a high-end office building.

On the other hand, Isabelle wouldn’t even have a decent diploma to show off. What use would it be to earn a little money?

Thinking this way, Layla finally felt a little better.

After dinner, Eleanor suddenly went to Ethan’s room.

She saw Ethan sitting at his desk, fiddling with his computer.

“What are you using this computer for? Isn’t a mobile phone enough for studying? Let me tell you, your aunt’s son, ever since he bought a computer, all he does is play games after school. He used to be one of the top students in his class, but now he’s at the bottom. He plays ‘games until one or two in the morning, and then he falls asleep in class the next day. Your aunt is called to school by the teacher every day. She used to have a good temper, but now she’s so irritable that he almost got into a fight with your uncle the other day.”

Eleanor felt inexplicably pleased. “Hmph, during the New Year, your second aunt was bragging about
