After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 80 The Truth About Eva Framing Isabel Is Exposed, and Xander's Tenderness Toward Her

Everything happened too quickly for Isabel to react. Even though she tried to dodge, there time to avoid the coffee completely.

Just when she thought the burning liquid would hit her, her vision was suddenly blocked. A large. body had moved to shield her.

Isabel blinked in surprise, looking up to see Xander standing protectively in front of her. His brows furrowed slightly for a moment before his expression returned to its usual calm. After a brief pause, Isabel stood up and reached out to touch Xander's back. A large patch of his shirt was soaked.

"Are you alright?"

He could convince himself that the previous video Isabel had shown him was fake, but this? This had happened just moments ago, right in front of him. If he denied this, he'd truly be blind. Eva was terrified by Kaleb's demanding tone.
