Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 44 Family’s Dinner Time

As soon as Layla received news of an invitation from her Uncle Sean to a luxurious hotel, she hastily donned her brand–new dress.

Layla gave Ethan a disapproving look as he appeared in his shabby clothes. “Didn’t Isabelle buy you new clothes?” she asked. “Why are you wearing those old ones again?”

Ethan shrugged, “I washed them.”

“Glorious International Hotel is the best five–star hotel in Norward City,” she said. “If you don’t dress appropriately, it would be awkward if we can’t even get in.”

Ethan didn’t want to argue with Layla, who was thrilled upon hearing the name of the hotel where their uncle invited them.

William also dressed in his finest outfit, and they rented a six–seater taxi for the occasion.

On the way. Layla kept checking her makeup in the mirror and chattering with Eleanor about how luxurious the hotel was..

Layla searched for information about the hotel online and presented it to her mother.

“Mom, according to the internet, a single vegetable at this hotel costs hundreds of dollars. Just look at these abalones and lobsters,” she exclaimed.

As William sat in the passenger seat, he turned his head and asked, “What kind of vegetable is so expensive?” The price they paid for their meal made him feel like they were eating gold instead of vegetables.

Isabelle and Ethan sat together at the back of the car.

Ethan stumbled upon a video interview featuring Isabelle, where he noticed some negative comments in the comments section from people who claimed to have insider information. He elbowed Isabelle to get her attention.

Isabelle removed her headphones and glanced at the phone screen that Ethan had given her.

“Isabelle, why don’t you remove these videos when we get home tonight?” Ethan whispered.

It was easy vices for Isabelle, and erasing a few videos was easy.

“Why go through all that trouble?” Isabelle didn’t care.

Seeing her attitude, Ethan didn’t say anything else.

As they pulled into the hotel, Eleanor couldn’t help but stick her head out the car window to marvel at the luxurious establishment.

Meanwhile, Layla straightened out her skirt and suppressed her excitement as she exited the car. She quickly took out her phone to snap pictures to post on social media after their meal.

As they approached the entrance, the doorman immediately recognised Isabelle and Ethan. He came forward to bow respectfully, asking. “Do you have a reservation?”
