Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 199 Wade Visits Norward.

The car drove into the old part of the city and stopped in front of the Jenkins' house.

Wade, who had been resting in the back seat, opened his eyes and glanced out the window. He asked, “Are we here?" He rubbed his tired eyes, worn out from a couple of days on the road.

"Yes, Mr. Sullivan," his assistant replied, quickly getting out to open the car door.

As soon as he heard they had arrived, Wade's energy returned. He stepped out of the car and looked at the old, shabby courtyard in front of him. He glanced around at the neighbouring houses, all in much better condition than this one.

Wade felt a mix of emotions. Despite the renovations, the house's previous state was still evident..

Standing at the entrance, Wade took in the place where Isabelle had grown up, feeling a deep sense of guilt and sorrow.

"I'll knock," the assistant said, rapping on the Jenkins' door.

"Who are you looking for?" asked Eleanor, stepping out of her house next door.

She watched Wade and his assistant up and down. They looked. distinguished and well-dressed, as did the car. Eleanor craned her neck to get a better look at the car. Clearly, this wealthy man is probably here to see that ungrateful girl again.

But what are they here for-money or something else? 1/4 48%) 109 Chapter 199 Wade Visits "Are you Madam Jenkins?" Wade asked.

In the past couple of days, Wade had familiarized himself with the Jenkins' family situation and immediately recognised Eleanor.

The polite address surprised Eleanor. It wasn't every day someone called her so politely, especially not someone who looked important. She felt flattered.

Quickly popping the last peanut into her mouth, Eleanor brushed her hands together and adjusted her shoulders. With a smile, she replied in a softer, more pretentious voice, “That's me. How do you know my name?" "I'm Wade Sullivan. I'm here to see you and your husband," Wade extended his hand and said, "Nice to meet you." Wade's tall, handsappearance from his youth had matured into a distinguished charm. His tailored suit fit him perfectly.

Seeing this gentlemanly, well-mannered man, Eleanor shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Nice to meet you," she said, shaking his hand.

Eleanor's voice grew even softer and more pretentious. She asked, "What brings you here? I don't know you." Wade withdrew his hand and said politely, "May we speak inside?" "Of course, please cin," Eleanor said eagerly, opening the door and inviting them in warmly.

The only things that seemed newly renovated in the old courtyard were the walls and the ground. The rest of the place was in much worse condition than Wade had imagined.

The wooden doors, mud walls, moss-covered steps, and an old threshing machine in the corner all made the place look rundown. An old water numn in the vard unused for years further contributed to the desolate 20:50 Mon, 10 Jun Chapter 199 Wade Visits atmosphere.

48 In the living room, the fridge and TV looked out of place, being the only new and valuable items.

When they arrived, Wade noticed Eleanor wearing gold earrings and dressing fairly well, but inside the house...

She made stea and turned to see Wade glancing around.

Maybe the developer is interested in this house for a new project? she wondered.

It might be possible.

Feeling hopeful, Eleanor's hospitality increased. She said, "Con, have stea." Wade thanked her, but as he stepped forward, he accidentally kicked. stainless steel basin, making a loud clanging noise.

Startled, he looked down.

"Sorry," he apologised, bending down to move the basin aside.

a The house was large, but cluttered and messy. There were several rooms, but a couple looked too dilapidated to be livable.

"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality," Eleanor said, handing him a cup of hot tea.

Wade took the cup with both hands. He said, "Thank you. It's fine." "Do you want to watch TV? I can turn it on for you," Eleanor offered.

Wade declined, "No, thank you." Eleanor turned the TV on anyway and said, "Please sit down and have a drink." 3/4 Chapter 199 Wade Visits Her noise had disturbed someone in another room.

Layla, with a tone of irritation, cout and said, "Mom, what are youn doing? Can't Nget ssleep with all this noise?" Wade looked around.

Eleanor glared at Layla, muttering under her breath, "Sleep, sleep) that's all you do. Do you even know what tit is?" Wade frowned slightly.

Eleanor turned back, her tone changing instantly as she spoke to him, "That's my daughter. Sorry about that." Wade nodded. He recognised Layla and noted that she looked even thinner and more worn out than in the photos.

"Mom, who are they?" Layla asked, eyeing the visitors.

Are they coming for that fat pig again? She wondered.

Eleanor snapped, "None of your business. Go back to your room.

Layla gave Wade one last look before turning losing the door, leaving it slightly ajar so she could listen in.

Wade casually asked, "Isn't it a school day? Why isn't your daughter at school?"

Wade, with limited time, had only learned the basics about the Jenkins. family and didn't know about about Layla's expulsion from Taragon University for cheating. X
