Chapter 187 So, Last Night, You

How did I end up back at the Bennett villa, in my own room? Wasn't I at the karaoke bar with Beowulf and the others, singing and enjoying the night?

"Am I dreaming?" Isabel wondered aloud, almost reaching for her phone to check the time.

But before she could, the phone suddenly rang

She glanced at the screen, and it showed Beowulf's name.

If this was a dream, it was incredibly lifelike,

This can't be a dream.

"Hello?"

"Boss, how are you feeling? Better?" Beowulf's voice came through, laced with concern.

"I'm alright. I just had a bit too much to drink. My head's still a little heavy. But how did I end up here at the Bennetts' house? Wasn't I with you guys last night?" Beowulf immediately understood what had happened,

"Boss, you passed out again! You can't handle alcohol like you used to!" he laughed lightly before getting to the point. "We were a bit lost when you went to the bathroom and didn't come back. Seff called you, but then..." "Then what?" Isabel asked, still confused about what had transpired.

"Then we heard the Bennett guy answering. He said...

Mm?" Isabel lifted an eyebrow. "What did he say?"

"He mentioned that you were already asleep and asked us not to disturb his wife while she was resting. After that, Seff just ended up getting himself drunk," Beowulf said.

Isabel fell silent for a moment, her face unreadable.

She massaged her temples, her mind trying to recall the details.

Gradually, bits and pieces of the previous night started to resurface.

It appeared that, because of her sour mood, a few drinks had made her feel lightheaded and unsteady. She had then come up with an excuse to head to the bathroom, hoping to wash her face and clear her mind. But after that.

Kaleb!

The memory of Kaleb's face immediately flooded her thoughts, and a wave of disgust washed over her.

"I remember now!" Isabel exclaimed.
