Chapter 148 Kaleb Offers Xander Money

Isabel was telling the truth, but Kaleb didn't believe a single word of it. +10 Free Cons

Isabel was baffled. How could she have possibly caused Eva's predicament? It seemed absurd to think she had anything to do with Eva's severe food poisoning, a condition so debilitating that she'd been rushed from the hot springs lodge all the way to the hospital. "All right, enough talking. I've got things to do. Stop bothering me," Isabel said.

With that, her teasing smile faded instantly and was replaced by a cold, unfeeling look.

Looking into her icy, piercing gaze, Kaleb felt as though he'd fallen into a frozen lake.

Isabel... she really had changed....

Both Kaleb and Xander watched Isabel walk away, but their reactions were starkly different. Kaleb seethed with anger, while Xander felt a wave of relief wash over him,

He had heard every word Isabel had just said. From his own experience, he could tell Isabel wasn't lying- she truly didn't have any feelings left for Kaleb.

When Kaleb turned around, his gaze landed on Xander, who was standing around the corner.

"It's him..."

Kaleb walked over to Xander, his irritation flaring up as he looked at the man standing there in his hospital

gown.

Just a moment ago, when he saw Isabel, he assumed she was secretly following him, which had annoyed him; he thought she was like an unwanted shadow he couldn't shake off. Now he understood. Isabel wasn't following him at all-it just so happened that this man was hospitalized

here.

Even though that was the truth, Kaleb still couldn't bring himself to believe that Isabel had genuinely fallen for this man.

*So, you're really with Isabel, huh?" Kaleb asked.

In response, Xander reached into his pocket, pulled out a marriage certificate, unfolded it, and held it up for Kaleb to SCC.

Kaleb's eyes went wide, practically bulging out of his head.

Isabel would never marry

of it. Without him, she fall apart! Even though they'd fallen out, he still believed that deep down Isabel-loved him-her bitterness was simply a twisted form of love.
