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?"

"I'm fine, Xander replied coolly, shrugging off his now-wet suit jacket and draping it over his arm. Despite the disarray, his aura of grace and power remained undiminished. Xander's eyes locked onto Kaleb, his usually composed gaze now sharp and chilling.

"You're truly blind."

Those simple, cutting words made Isabel's eyebrows twitch.

It was a phrase she had often used to describe Kaleb, and hearing Xander say it now gave her an odd. indescribable feeling.

"What did you just say?!" Kaleb's face contorted in rage as he glared at Xander, daring him to repeat the insult

Kaleb's eyes widened in disbelief. His arms fell from around Eva as he turned to face her, his voice thick with accusation. "Eva! How do you explain this? Don't even try to tell me that video's fake!"

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.

She stammered, "I-1 didn't want to do this
