Ethan thought about Isabelle’s temperament and finally accepted the card.

“Isabelle, I couldn’t help but notice the man who was with you when you got off the plane last night. Was he from Taragon City?”

“Why do you ask?”

“He struck me as someone out of the ordinary. I know you can handle yourself, but Taragon City is a whole different ballgame compared to our small town. I just worry that you might act impulsively. Especially now, you’ve become even more strikingly beautiful… Can he watch out for you a bit?”

Isabelle thought of George and nodded. “Yes, he’s quite influential in Taragon City, even more so than the mayor. You don’t need to worry.”

Although Ethan detected a hint of exaggeration in her tone, he felt somewhat reassured.

“Alright, just promise to call me if you need anything.” Isabelle dragged her suitcase towards the departure hall.

Ethan remained standing, watching her go. His hand gripped the card tightly in his pocket, feeling the weight of the money for the first time. It made him slightly nervous, but he was determined to manage it responsibly.

Upon seeing the caller’s identity, his frown softened, and he discreetly glanced at his nephew Sam seated beside him.

With a subtle gesture, he interrupted the ongoing presentation and took the call.
