Chapter 285 No Chance

Finished

Carl left looking deflated: all the energy had drained out of him. Even his conversation with George lacked any enthusiasm.

Isabelle was ready to have her dinner. The couple needed some time alone to bond. Not wanting to linger awkwardly, Carl had to take his leave.

George instructed, “Dylan, see them out.”

Dylan thought, Look at him; he’s already showing off his status.

Simply gave instructions.

Carl sighed deeply as he exited the villa.

Percy said. “I always thought you didn’t think much of me, but now I realize you actually consider me good enough to compete with Mr. George.”

Carl replied, “Stop stabbing me in the heart.

He thought for a moment and concluded, “I can’t rely on you much, especially when it comes to finding a wife. Friends are fine too, I suppose.”

Percy said, “I think it’s better to forget it. Did you see how protective George was? If I dared to do anything. I might end up dead on the battlefield one day.”

Honestly, Percy felt a bit regretful too, but considering the opponent was George, he had no grounds to compete with him.

Isabelle returned from washing her hands to find George alone in the living room.

Outside, a car honked briefly, drawing her attention. She glanced out the floor–to–ceiling window and saw that Dylan had finished seeing the guests off and was now in the car.

George removed the dishes from the food container and served Isabelle’s soup. He said, “Let’s eat.

Isabelle sat down and took a sip of the soup. She noticed there was quite a lot of food and asked, “Have you eaten yet?”
