After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen
Secret Wedding 11

"Yes." Isabel nodded.

Reggie gazed at her for a while and saw no sign of deception, so he believed her.

"Rest up, Reg. I'll heal your face in a month," Isabel assured him.

Reggie opened his mouth slightly, overwhelmed with emotion, and couldn't find the words.

"Take it easy for now. This regular ward isn't ideal for your recovery. I'll arrange for you to be moved to a VIP ward," she said while helping him lie down.

Colin's actions were truly harsh. Despite being the head of the company, he had left his son in a regular ward.

"Isa, take this card. It has 50 thousand I saved up," Reggie said, pulling a bank card from under his pillow and handing it to her.

As Isabel looked at the card, she was struck by a wave of sadness.

It didn't matter if she endured hardship, but Reggie was the eldest son of the Zimmermans. Despite being disfigured, he had been helping Colin in the company. It was heartbreaking that he had only saved 50 thousand. She remembered that Lillian's Chanel bag from last month cost about that much. the card. I have enough money."

"Reg, you always looked out for me. Now it's my turn to take care of you. Believe me, I can handle it," Isabel said firmly, locking eyes with Reggie.

He tried to say something. But seeing her determined look, he couldn't help but trust her.

"Alright, I'll let you take care of me this time."

Isabel showed a genuine smile.

After spending lunch with Reggie, Isabel returned to the Bennett villa.

As she approached the villa, she saw Xander aggressively kicking a man on the ground.

It was the first time she had seen Xander so fierce and menacing since she arrived at the villa, almost like a demon.

She realized she had let her guard down recently due to Xander's normally calm demeanor.

But who was he? He was the formidable leader who had overthrown his three uncles to become the head of the Bennetts.

Without ruthless methods and decisive actions, he wouldn't have achieved his position.

Remembering how she had joked around with Xander the day before, she shuddered.

Fortunately, he didn't seem to hold it against her. Otherwise, she might have been kicked out of the Bennetts, complicating her mission.

Just then, Xander's cold voice cut through Isabel's thoughts.

"Who instructed you to attack my brother?"

Curious, Isabel looked inside.

It turned I out that Samuel's accident wasn't a random incident but a deliberate attack!

Who would dare to harm the second heir of the Bennetts? They must be seeking death!

Jeff Garner groveled and begged for mercy, "No one instructed me. I was drunk at that time. Mr. Xander, I'm truly sorry for what happened to your brother. Please spare me!" Xander remained cold as he looked at Jeff.

"I had an investigation done. You're only an ordinary taxi driver. Yet two days before the accident, half a million suddenly appeared in your account."

Jeff's heart sank, and he began to tremble.

"M-my friend transferred it to me..."

Before he could finish, Xander kicked him hard in the shoulder and stomped on him, causing a painful crunching sound.

"Ah-" Jeff screamed in agony.

"Your friend? Do you have a friend who could transfer half a million to you? My investigation shows that your friends and family don't have the means to send that much." Xander continued to stomp on Jeff.

I was really an accident! No one instructed me-" Jeff's words trailed off as he fainted, his eyes rolling back.

Xander's expression hardened, his entire demeanor becoming as cold as ice.

"Take him away, lock him up, and interrogate him thoroughly every day."

Sir!

"Yes, sir.

After giving those orders, Xander noticed Isabel walking in.

"Did you see everything?" he asked, his fingers clenched and his lips straight.

"Yes," Isabel replied, watching as Jeff was dragged away.

She had a method to make Jeff reveal the truth-hypnosis, which was her specialty. But using it might raise Xander's suspicions.

"Do you think I'm cruel? Scary?" Xander asked, watching Isabel's reaction. He noticed she was focused on Jeff and guessed she might be frightened by his harsh tactics.

Although she seemed fearless before, it was probably because she thought he was merely a refined high-class person. Now that she had seen his ruthless side, it was natural for her to feel scared. She might even avoid him in the future or go as far as seeking a divorce.

As Xander thought that, Isabel casually peeled an orange and sat on the sofa, looking relaxed.

"Cruel? Is this what you call cruel? If someone harmed my loved ones, I'd be even more ruthless."

She thought of Reggie and felt a strange sense of empathy for Xander.

Xander was surprised by Isabel's words, not expecting such a response.

"Are you not afraid of me?"

"Afraid?" Isabel was stunned for a moment. "Why should I be afraid? I haven't done anything to harm your family."

Xander slightly smiled, brightening his eyes as he looked at Isabel.

"These oranges are quite good," Isabel said, putting the oranges in her pocket.

"You can take them all," Xander said.

"Are you not going to eat it?"

"Just take them."

"Alright then." Isabel carried the plate upstairs.

After Isabel went into her room, Xander instructed the butler, "Get more of these oranges."

"Yes, sir."

After dinner, Xander knocked on Isabel's door but received no reply.

Is she out?

Frowning, he was about to leave when he noticed the door was slightly ajar. Listening closely, he could hear faint singing from inside.

He knocked again but got no response.

After a brief pause, he opened the door and walked in.

The room was empty, and the singing came from the bathroom.

Since she was showering, he could wait a bit.

Xander placed the handbag, containing a gown for an upcoming banquet, on the bed. They were going to attend Albert Perkins' birthday banquet over the weekend, and she needed something nice to wear. Isabel sang as she dried off, only to realize she had forgotten her pajamas.

She had to wrap herself in a towel and go out.

However, the towel fell to the floor, soaking up water.

Uh, it seems like today's not my lucky day!

Isabel tossed the wet towel aside. Thinking it was her room, she assumed it didn't matter if she went out shirtless.

With that in mind, she walked out boldly with the bathroom door wide open.

The next moment, she froze in shock when she saw Xander sitting on the bed.
