After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 7 Handsome, Let Me Kiss You Xander's expression turned cold.

So, that's why she added his contact-to send me money?

I'm the head of the Bennett Group. Does she really think I need it?

Not only did he decline the transfer, but he also added three more zeroes to the amount.

"Take it as a medical bill."

Isabel was stunned for a moment. "Your brother was right earlier. I promised to help him with his leg and you agreed to marry me. After that, we owe each other nothing. You don't need to send me any more money."

It was a huge amount, but she didn't need it. In her previous life, she had more money than she could spend in several lifetimes. Now that she was reborn, she decided to use it all up.

This whole situation made her realize just how fleeting money was. She couldn't take it with her when she died. Letting it sit there was just a waste.

"Take it," Xander said firmly, leaving no room for argument. "Medical treatment is one thing, but the herbs are expensive. You don't need to cover that. Get the best ones."

Hearing him say that, Isabel finally understood why he insisted on giving her money. He was worried she'd try to save money by using cheaper, lower-quality herbs to treat Samuel's condition.

"Yeah, the herbs are expensive. You probably already know about my situation at home. Even though I'm my dad's real daughter, I've got less standing than his mistress's daughter, and I don't get much allowance."

As Isabel said this, she felt a wave of relief. If Xander hadn't given her the money, she would've totally forgotten this body's situation. Her mom died early, her dad didn't care about her, and she barely had enough to get by. Samuel's leg needed a lot of rare, pricey herbs. While they were worth a lot, to her from her past life, they were just nothing.

She was hanging around Xander to get something. If he found out how much money she really had, he'd definitely start getting suspicious, which would make it harder for her to act.

While Isabel was lost in thought, Xander's deep, rumbling voice suddenly came through loud and clear in her ear.

"I'm going to attend the Perkins's party this weekend. You should come with me."

"The Perkins?" Isabel thought about Tiffany from earlier.

"Yeah, she was supposed to be the one I was getting the marriage certificate with yesterday," Xander said.
