Darn it, how did she know? Isabella was truly taken aback.

The members of the Quirk family exchanged stunned looks with one another.

Ruth’s expression almost faltered for a moment, but she quickly snapped, “What are you talking about?”

Rebecca retorted. “If there really was nothing, you should be puzzled, not instantly enraged, Ruth. You’re not an actress, it’s hard to deceive a professio

At this point, Ruth really couldn’t hold up anymore.

Rebecca held the coffee cup in front of her. “I initially wanted a peaceful resolution, Mrs. Gonzales, but since you’re so ruthless, don’t blame me for what next.”

After she finished speaking, Rebecca immediately picked up her phone, ready to make a call.

“Are you calling the police?” Ruth’s voice instantly turned shrill.

Ruth was seen almost lunging forward, eager to snatch the coffee cup.

Rebecca was about to grab her coffee cup and make a run for it when she was suddenly shoved from behind by Ruth.

Isabella was the closest, managing just in time to catch Rebecca as she stumbled. However, the coffee cup slipped from her grasp, the coffee inside follo

At that moment, the Quirk family members had not yet left their semi–circular seating area, they were merely staring blankly at the newcomer.

With a head full of coffee stains, Alexander stared intently at the situation unfolding before him.

Both Ruth and Rebecca were taken aback, for they were well aware of Alexander’s identity. Moreover, they had never imagined they would run into Isab

What a sight this was!

Isabella helped Rebecca steady herself. She wanted to laugh as she watched Alexander’s disheveled appearance, yet felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

A look from Alexander swiftly prompted Isabella to quickly step forward. She grabbed a napkin from the dining table and started to wipe him haphazardly

Surprisingly, Alexander did not resist, allowing Isabella to aid him.

Ruth regained her composure. Noticing the coffee was gone, she felt a sense of relief. She then stepped

Rebecca nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Rebecca also bid goodbye to everyone, and calmly left the hotel. As long as she left now. whatever happened here in the future would no lon

By this time, the hotel manager had already rushed over, perceptively inviting Alexander to freshen up in the upstairs presidential suite.

However, before they even had a chance to speak, Isabella suddenly said, “I’ll accompany you.”

Taken aback, Alexander looked at Isabella.

The Quirk family was overjoyed, finally….

The presidential suite, huh? They’re on the same floor. Right now, Gordon is in the throes of the medicine’s effects. Mrs. Gonzales should be with him by

The Quirk family thought, “To say or not to say, beyond reason, yet expected.”

All right, their curiosity was piqued. Initially, they had rushed over to help, but now that everything was fine, they could relax and enjoy the show.

Quietly, Alexander heaved a sigh, then turned to leave, Isabella promptly followed him, her steps light and

Once they had left, the Quirk family immediately requested a room and followed suit.

Having removed his shirt, Alexander headed to the bathroom first, quickly freshening up. Then, donning a bathrobe, he emerged to fetch his fresh clothe

Suddenly, Isabella turned her head to look at him. Her eyes were distinctly black and white, incredibly

“What are you doing?” Alexander’s voice was inexplicably hoarse.

Isabella suddenly became animated. “I just thought of something, can the residue on the clothes be tested for medicinal properties?” She quickly relayed the conversation she had overheard so as not to g

Alexander was at a loss for words.

“Have the assistant deliver it later for testing.”

Isabella nodded, suddenly stiffening. With a hint of confusion, she stole a glance at Alexander.

Alexander then asked, “Is there anything else?”

Isabella quickly shook her head. “No, have you finished washing?”

Alexander didn’t give it much thought. Just as he was about to nod, he heard a continuous stream of inner thoughts from Isabella.

Darn, I forgot. Alexander’s lips might have accidentally come into contact with the coffee. If even a trace of the drug is present, will he be affected? His complexion looks slightly flushed now, but is it because of the drug’s effects, or is it due to the steam from the hot bath?

Upon hearing this, Alexander was taken aback. He was just about to call out when the coffee splashed onto

him.

Could there possibly be some drug effect? Would he suddenly lose his senses, lunge at me, and then who knows what?

Alexander’s cheeks were genuinely flushed. Was the previous palpitation due to the effects of the drug?

Such a stunningly handsome man, so full of restraint. If he were to pounce, should I not resist, or to simply not resist…

Feeling a flush of heat at the base of his ears, Alexander was rigid with tension. He stole a quick glance at Isabella.

Does she… want to do it?

After all, I’m not the one who drugged him, I’m actually the victim here…

Coughing a few times, Alexander moved to the side of the bed to pick up his clothes. He certainly wouldn’t engage in such actions under such unclear c
