"What's going on? Why did Kaleb apologize to me?" Reggie asked, surprised. It seemed like Kaleb had been pressured into it.

Standing by the window, Isabel looked outside.

She had been at the villa for several days. With Xander out and Samuel not home, she took the opportunity to explore.

That was her plan until an unexpected visitor showed up at the villa.

"Is she the one who married Xan?" The girl in an elegant dress scrutinized Isabel with an unfriendly stare.

"Yes, Ms. Lawson," the maid answered.

Ms. Lawson? Isabel recognized the name from the maids' earlier conversation.

""Who are you?" Isabel asked, feigning ignorance.

She had thoroughly researched Xander for her mission, so she knew the girl was Rachel Lawson, the adopted daughter of Xander's mother and his childhood sweetheart. Rachel approached Isabel, lifting her chin with a smug look.

"I'm Rachel Lawson. I grew up with Xan and have feelings for him, which he reciprocates. But the annoying Tiffany has come between us. I finally managed to break off their engagement, and now you're interfering." Isabel immediately understood something.
