Two hourster, Stephanie woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Rnd watching
over her. Ast her memories started to return, she immediately felt embarrassed and pulled up the
nket to cover her
face.
Recalling the impulsive request she had made to Rnd, she couldn’t me it all on the drugs as
she was still somewhat rational at the time. If it had been Ethan, she would never have agreed. But
it was Rnd, and she had indulged herself.
“Stephanic, are you okay?” Rnd’s voice came awkwardly from outside.
Stephanie buried herself under the covers like an ostrich for a while before mumbling, “I’m sorry.”
With a slightly flushed face, Rnd reassured her. “It’s not your fault. You don’t need to apologize. It
was Ethan who drugged you.”
“Thank you for saving me,” Stephanie said gratefully, pulling the nket down to pretend nothing
had happened.
But as their eyes met, they both remembered the situation earlier. Added to that, Rnd had a
wound on his lip where Stephanie had bitten him.
In a swift motion, one of them retreated under the covers while the other turned away, hastily
gathering various documents and cing them on the bedside table.
Rnd cleared his throat before saying. “Regarding Ethan’s crime, I have evidence of his drug
purchase and can testify in this matter. But if we want to convict him fully, we’ll need the video files
from the camera as evidence. The decision is yours. However, it depends on the severity of the
charges. If you want to destroy the video, I understand.”
After all, it was a matter of respecting the victim’s wishes.
Stephanie emerged from under the covers, pale–faced, Her gaze turned dark. “I want to sue him.
I’m willing to provide any evidence. I want him to face the consequences he deserves.”
With that, Stephanie hugged herself, trembling all over
Rnd frowned and stepped forward to patted Stephanie on the shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be
with you.”
The two victims would unite to hold this brute ountable.
“Th… thank… Stephanie looked up, but as their eyes met again, they both shyly looked away.
Later, the Nox family arrived upon hearing the news and joined Rnd in handling the case.
A few dayster, they heard that Ethan had been sentenced to prison and would be deported after
serving his sentence. He might also face further charges abroad, but one thing was certain–he
wouldn’t escape punishment.
A weekter, the storm in the Ford family gradually subsided.
There were no updates from Rnd and Stephanie, so Isabe lost interest in following the gossip,

At this moment, Isabe arrived at Quirk Group with the sweets made by Selena and delivered
them to Alexander.
Selena and Evian had been gossiping in front of her that a beautiful female business partner had
recently been aggressively pursuing Alexander, but she didn’t care. She was not here to assert her
position as the official wife but was just curious about the situation.
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at thepany, the receptionists‘ gazes toward her changed.
Their exchanged nces were full of gossip. However, they still showed respect to Isabe, unlike
before.
Passing by Alexander’s office, on the way to the CEO’s office, the assistants looked awkward at the
sight of her and continuously nced at the office, their implications clear.
Isabe thought, Oh, the home–wrecker is inside? Perfect timing.
Isabe was well–mannered and told the assistant to inform him of her arrival.
The assistant was taken aback. “Mr. Alexander left instructions that you can enter anytime when
you’re here.”
Isabe blinked, feeling a slight warmth on her face. Approaching the office door, just as she was
about to knock, voices from inside could be heard.
“I’ve delegated the task of hosting your team to a board member, as I dine with my wife every
evening and don’t have the time for socializing. If you feel this is a sign of disrespect toward your
team, we can always opt not to coborate.”
“Mr. Alexander, you’re so smart, surely you understand what I mean,” a woman’s voice had said.
Her voice held a seductive lilt, as if she was trying to entice him.
“After stepping into this office, you still didn’t get a good look?”
“It’s just for show.”
Isabe found herself somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.
What on earth are they talking about?
There was a pause from inside, but the woman couldn’t help but continue, “Mr. Alexander, I
genuinely admire you and don’t expect any status, I just want…”
“Then let me be clear. There is no woman in this world better than my wife. I only want my wife and
have no interest in other women, so you don’t need to waste your efforts.”
Oh
wey. what is he saying? Haha… Turns out I’m so charming that this guy ispletely enchanted.
Inside the office, the usually icy Alexander suddenly smiled, a hint of blush crossing his face. The
sight stunned the woman before him.
Alexander paid no more attention to her. After all, his wife rarely visited, and today was a good day.
Alexander got up and walked to the door.
“By the way, about your project, I will notify yourpany to assign a new project coordinator.
Quirk Group is willing to coborate with yourpany, but the precondition is that you are not
involved in the

The woman’s face drastically changed. Even if I failed to seduce him, I surely didn’t deserve his
disdain. What kind of man is het
Little did she know, Alexander was very cautious about everything rted to Isabe. Since Isabe
had caught igh of them, he naturally had to distance himself cleanly, lest any him of suspicion might
stick to
his wife.
Isabe sighed at the domineering behavior of the CEO, but just then, the door in front suddenly
opened, and she stumbled forward.
She could have regained her bnce, but unfortunately, someone was too proactive and directly
embraced her, making it look like Isabe had fallen into Alexander’s arms.
Gentleughter filled the air.
“Why are you here?”
His low voice, resonating from his chest, sent a jolt through Isabe’s heart.
“Bringing you desserts on behalf of mom,” Isabe said
Alexander let go of Isabe, pulling her into the office.
Isabe caught sight of the other woman, who was sexy and gorgeous, but she didn’t say hello.
The woman had long since inquired about Isabe’s identity and naturally knew what she looked
like. However, upon seeing her in person, she was instantly struck by how much more beautiful
Isabe waspared to her photos. Previously confident, she was taken aback by Isabe’s
unbothered stunning. features.
With Alexander’s blunt dismissal, she could only leave crestfallen.
At that moment, Isabe had no interest in dealing with her, as she was taken aback by the office
she hadn’t visited in a long time.
Surprisingly, the ces inside that were usually reserved for disying famous paintings were now
filled with her mour shots, making it look like a talent manager’s office.
She finally understood what the two had been talking about earlier.
The CEO’s office was filled with her posters, so she was embarrassed and didn’t know where to
look.
What if other staffe in and see these… Ah, I can’t even think about it.
Alexander knew what Isabe was looking at, but pretended to be calm. He took the dessert and
led. Isabe to sit on the sofa, but actually, his ears were turning red.
This was certainly not for show. Alexander wanted to be able to see Isabe anytime. After all, in
Quirk Group’s artist management department and Isabe’s own studio, one could casually see his
wife’s posters everywhere, so why not in his office?
If possible, he wanted Isabe to apany him to work, but Isabe would definitely refuse, so he
could only settle for second best.

This would also make everyone understand Isabe’s status.

Isabe couldn’t read Alexander’s mind, so she pretended not to care about these posters to avoid
putting herself in an awkward position by asking about them.
“Try some of Mom’s cooking.” Isabe said.
Alexander opened the box and looked at the golden yellow pastries. He was speechless.
“My mom is a kitchen killer. Do you remember that?”
Isabe smiled and said, “Rest assured, others have tried it. It’s rare for her to seed, so she
asked me to bring it to you.”
Dad and Cahan were fine after eating it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel safe giving it to Alerander.
Imagine if the CEO got food poisoning and had to be rushed to the hospital; it would be hrious.
Alexander felt satisfied and started eating. It seemed his wife did care about him.
Despite the food being terrible, he couldn’t waste the effort Selena had put into it. The two of them
finished the meal together and took photos to report back to Selena.
On her end, Selena had already heard through David’s informant that the saboteur had been
thoroughly dealt with, so she was at ease.
After eating. Isabe didn’t n on leaving, and Alexander naturally wouldn’t suggest it. He wanted
Isabe to stay with him a little longer, so Isabe yed on her phone while Alexander worked.
After a while, Alexander’s phone rang.
Seeing it was Clifford, he answered on speakerphone.
“Hey Christopher, free tonight? I’m hosting a pool party, and I’d like you and Isabe toe. It’s at
XX Club.
Alexander was taken aback. He usually didn’t attend such events, and Clifford never invited him to
these things. Why is Clifford acting strange today?
“Are youing? Everyone else is. Ah, forget it. It’s fine if you don’te, just Isabe is enough.”
Clifford sounded a bit impatient.
Frowning, Alexander felt Clifford had some ulterior motive. Despite wanting to refuse, he rarely got
the chance to be with Isabe alone. Maybe they could have a private date tonight, but…
“I’ll ask Isabe.””
Respecting Isabe’s opinion, Alexander turned his head to look at her.
Isabe blinked. She had never attended such a thing aftering here.
A pool party where everyone wears swimsuits? Isn’t it a visual feast of handsome men and beautiful
women?
Hearing her enthusiastic tone, Alexander felt his eyebrows twitch.
Indeed. Isabe was smiling mischievously. At this moment, he really wanted to decline.

Alexander in a swimsuit. Ooh, I’d like to see that. Maybe I ran touch those abs! Such a handsome
man in the water.
Alexander’s face flushed. Clifford was still urging on the phone..
“Are we… going?” Alexander’s gaze wavered.
“Yes!” Isabe immediately answered.
Alexander coughed and replied to Clifford.
After the call, Isabe dragged Alexander to the mall to buy swimsuits.
On the other end, Clifford was urgently notifying others, hastily organizing the party. His friends in
the group were puzzled by his odd behavior, but Clifford was too busy to notice.
Some even tagged Alexander and Isabe, wondering if they were really going.
As everyone was curious about Clifford’s sudden decision to throw a party, Isabe investigated.
It turned out to be quite a revtion.
Unbelievable! Just because Zendaya has been ignoring him, he thinks she’s ying hard to get.
So, he ns to give her achance. When he found out she’d be working at this club all day today, he
immediately arranged this party to casually show up in front of her. He’ll hug another woman to
make her sad then give her a chance toe back to him… Quite o drama. The reason he wants
me to go is because he knows if Zendaya sees me, she’ll definitelye over and greet me. He’s
using me as a tool, huh?
Hearing this, Alexander suddenly realized. This is a bit ridiculous. Does Clifford need to be
embarrassed before he wakes up?
But it’ll be interesting. Isabe started giggling in excitement.
She casually picked up a swimsuit from the pile.
Suddenly, Alexander coughed. “Are you choosing this one?”
In Isabe’s hands was something that closely resembled a bikini. She blinked, realizing she hadn’t
gotten a clear look at it just
yet. So, she turned her head and asked, “Do you have any rmendations?”
She had never attended such a gathering before, hence she was naturally unsure about what would
be considered appropriate.
Then she saw Alexander’s eyes turned to a childish style aside.
1 say, Alexander, your taste is too poor. Don’t tell me you’re rmending that style to your wife.”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice echoed from the entrance.
When the two of them turned to look, they saw a strikingly dressed woman standing at the door, a
smile gracing her lips.
