Chapter 3 Getting the Marriage Certificate

Marrying Xander and sneaking into the Bennetts. She was determined to get the mission done.

Xander's dark, deep eyes scanned Isabel up and down. She looked a mess, with a face covered in colorful smudges, a wedding dress that was torn and dirty, and noticeable bloodstains.

She resembled someone who had just been robbed.

"Who are you?"

"Isabel from the Zimmerman family," she said.

"And you think I'm just going to take your word for it?" Xander asked, giving her a cold look.

"Whether you believe me or not doesn't really matter. You're going to check anyway." Isabel stepped closer to him as she spoke.

A hint of curiosity mixed with suspicion appeared in Xander's gaze.

"Let's not waste time. You got stood up, and my fiancé left me at our wedding with her mistress. We're both in the same boat, so why don't we just get the marriage certificate together?" Isabel suggested. Xander quickly figured out what was going on. This woman had come to him to get back at her cheating fiancé.

She was trying to use him as a tool for revenge. Did she think Xander was just anyone?

"Go find someone else," he said, turning his wheelchair to leave.

"Wait!" Isabel called out, rushing to block his way. She looked down at Samuel, who was sitting in the wheelchair.

"What if I say I could fix his legs?"

What?!

Both Xander and Samuel froze, staring at Isabel in shock.

"Stop staring at me like that. Just give me a straight answer. If I can heal his legs, will you still marry me?" Isabel asked, looking directly at Xander.

His gaze darkened as he stayed quiet for a moment. Finally, he said, "Alright. If you can heal his legs, I'll marry you."

"Xander! How can you agree to this? We have no idea who this woman is, and she's definitely up to something!" Samuel said, panicked.
