After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 233 Do You Want to Be Punished Again? During this time, Xander had been kissing Isabel without asking for her permission.

A moment later, he pulled away from her lips and gazed into her eyes, which were still cloudy with mist. "If you move again, I'll punish you." Although Isabel couldn't see his warm expression, she could sense his gaze through the deep tone of his voice.

She stayed still. First, because if she moved while he was holding her with one hand, he might lose his grip and drop her, which would be disastrous.

Second, being unable to see made her feel vulnerable, like prey on a cutting board-moving would only show she was welcoming more attention.

With those thoughts in mind, Isabel obediently allowed Xander to wash her eyes. Afterward, the sting faded a little.

The next morning, as Samuel stepped out of his room, he noticed Isabel's door was open, and Xander was leading her downstairs.

"Your eyes still hurt?" Samuel asked, noticing her condition.

After last night's events, when Max called Xander for help, Samuel had been nearby.

Isabel's vision had improved significantly. Yesterday, she could only see shadows, but now, she could make out the shapes of objects, though her sight was still blurry-like someone with high myopia. "Another night of rest should do it," Isabel said.

"Be careful on the stairs," Xander said, pulling her closer to him and guiding her carefully as they descended. Samuel stood frozen at the top of the stairs, completely stunned. Isabel only had sdiscomfort in her eyes, yet Xander was treating her as though she were nine months pregnant. He might as well just carry her. Amused by the sight, Samuel smirked and sat down at the dining table.

At breakfast, Isabel looked at the food in front of her. Her vision was still blurry, but it didn't stop her from trying to feed herself.

As she pondered, Xander scooped scaviar and held it out to her. "Open your mouth." Isabel hesitated for a moment.

Samuel remained silent.

"I can feed myself," Isabel replied, but then Xander's familiar voice whispered in her ear, "Do you want to be punished again?" Her pupils dilated in surprise-Samuel was still here. Wouldn't Xander be embarrassed to say that? But she didn't voice her thoughts because she already knew the answer-he wouldn't be embarrassed. She decided to just think of him like a nanny.

With that, Isabel stopped overthinking and opened her mouth to accept the spoon. It tasted amazing. The caviar was worth more than 1,000 dollars per spoon, so it was no surprise it was delicious.

Xander continued to feed Isabel patiently and gently.

Samuel stared at his food and suddenly lost his appetite.

More accurately, he was full-just from watching the couple being affectionate with each other.

After breakfast, Isabel got a call from Yvette.

"Jessica brought this all on herself! How dare she use such underhanded methods against us? Now look where she is it's exactly what she deserves!" After Xander took Isabel away last night, all attention shifted to Jessica in the private room. It was clear that her fate was sealed, and the atmosphere turned tense and chaotic.

Just as things were getting heated, the police arrived, along with the reporters Jessica had called earlier.

The reporters revealed everything, and the police arrested Jessica.

It turned out the glass of water Jessica had prepared for Isabel was laced with a strong drug. When the police took her away, she was acting completely out of control, like a mad fly, buzzing and biting everyone.

Finally, the police subdued her with a baton, and the chaos ended.

Now, the main topic of discussion online was dessica's actions. The men she'd been involved with were all in their 40s and 50s, and none of them were attractive. Netizens were commenting on her strange taste in men. Isabel rubbed her chin, deep in thought. Last night, she suspected someone was behind Jessica's plan. There was no way Jessica could have cup with such a detailed schor dared to carry it out on her own.

Isabel also considered that Rachel might be the mastermind behind it all.

Thinking back to when Yvette was kidnapped and delivered to Christian's bed, Isabel realized there were similarities between the two incidents-both involved Rachel. But Isabel had no concrete proof, so she couldn't tell Xander about it.

Her mind wandered to her brother, Reggie. He was the sentimental type, and Jessica had once been his fiancée. He had genuine feelings for her back then. Now that the situation had unfolded, Isabel wondered if Reggie was affected by it.

She decided to call him.

"Hello? Isa, is there something on your mind?" Reggie's voice was as warm as always, offering comfort.

"Not much, just checking in to see how work's been going," Isabel said, trying to steer the conversation in a neutral direction.

"I'm doing fine." His brief response didn't help Isabel figure out his mood, but she didn't want to hang up.

After a pause, Isabel asked, "Reg, uh, have you heard about Jessica?" Upon hearing that, Reggie understood why she called.

"I have no connection to her anymore. Whatever happens to her doesn't concern me." He said it casually, but inside, he was still affected by what he had seen in the news in the morning.
