Suddenly, an idea struck David. He took out his phone pretending to be surprised. “Alexander mentioned. that a friend’s restaurant just got a shipment o
quality ingredients. He suggested we go out for dinner, he said.
Immediately, Selena chimed in. “Which hotel?”
“King Hotel,” David said, simultaneously sending a message to Alexander to corroborate their story.
Upon hearing the name of the hotel, a jolt ran through Isabe.
Evian immediately suggested, “Then let’s go have dinner.”
Rosalie also nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Christopher pulled Cahan to her feet, saying, “I’ll go tell the driver to get the car ready.”
Only Cahan wore a bewildered look as he observed the crowd.
Isabe thought, “D*mn, what are the odds?”
The Quirk family members stiffened. Are we trying too hard?
Isabe thought, “It seems even the heavens can’t stand by and watch, urging us to rescue Reba!”
The Quirk family collectively let out a sigh of relief, promptly springing into action.
As Alexander was busy with his paperwork, he nced at the message on his phone and fell into silence. He swiftly organized his work before engaging
Once the whole family arrived at the hotel in a grand procession, it was a relief that the hotel was one with excellent privacy. Otherwise, given the pop
Under the reception of the waitstaff, everyone lingered around, until they heard the innermost thoughts of Isabe.
We arrived just in time. They are still in the restaurant, discussing matters. The drug has been slipped into the coffee, but fortunately, it hasn’t been cons
The Quirk family was instantly thrown into panic. They had already administered the drug, they had to
act soon
Quickly responding to Isabe’s inner thoughts, they found the nearest private booth. The restaurant’s partitions were semi–
enclosed, making it difficult to see the customers seated within unless one happened to pass by.
However, one could still discern the conversation if they listened closely.

there was no conversation taking ce. So focused on cavesdropping, Isabe didn’t even notice this anomaly
She was contemting how she might casually run into Reba to prevent her from drinking the coffee if the situation called for it.
From the other side, the cool, detached voice of Reba echoed.
“Mrs. Gonzales, you’re now fully aware of the situation. I assure you, there’s nothing between y
your husband and me. The online spections are indeed true. I won’t step forward to me you both, hoping we can put an end to this matter between

At that time, Reba was still instinctively going at it alone.
What a fool, going it alone. If something were to happen….
Members of the Quirk family repeatedly shook their heads, signaling their disapproval of Reba’s
actions.
“Heh, women like you are nothing but temptresses. It was clearly you who caused the breakup of our marriage, yet now you y the innocent. You made

She really knew how to hit where it hurts!
Suddenly, Reba dered, “I’m not the one at fault here, it’s him, it’s you, but it certainly isn’t me!”
This statement immediately prompted a sigh of relief from the eavesdroppers. Well said!
“You seriously don’t think you did anything wrong?”

Has Ruth always been this chatty? Is she just stalling for time now? I wonder what Gordon is up to?
The Quirk family became curious.
Darn it! Ruth had prepared tea in the hotel room beforehand. Due to his nerves, Gordon had already drunk several cups. By the time the effects of the d

Upon hearing this, the Quirks instantly became tense.
Isabe was about to stand up and greet, but she had barely gotten halfway up when she heard Reba say, “I’m sorry, I can’t.”
Isabe froze, awkwardly taking a seat, listening in confusion along with the Quirk family members.
“What?” Ruth probably hadn’t expected to hear such a response.
Across from her, Reba’s smile faded slightly. “Ever since I entered the workforce,” she said, “I’ve heard many pieces of advice. One of them being, ne

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a light bulb had been switched on.
Everyone in the room exchanged nces, impressed by the wisdom imparted. Particrly for the girls, the advice was invaluable: if ever out and about,

Oh, you’re trying to use your status to intimidate others? Your reputation is worth nothing!
Isabe was worried that Reba would feel cornered and was considering
stepping in once again. However, she heard Reba suddenly ask. “Is there something in this coffee?”
With that, the entire room fell silent.
