After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter

202

He never expected any of it to be true!

That wasn't even the most surprising part. What truly shocked him was realizing that Isabel's partner was none other than his boss, the CEO of Bennett Group!

"Mr. Bennett?" Sofia blinked in surprise. "He's a boss too? Which company does he run?"

It couldn't possibly be Bennett Group.

The CEO of Bennett Group wasn't just the wealthiest person in Solaria-he was someone entirely beyond their reach. Considering Isabel's reputation, there was no way she could be connected to such a powerful figure. It seemed certain that this Mr. Bennett had no relation to the CEO of Bennett Group.

This wasn't just Sofia's assumption; everyone else thought the same.

Besides, if there was even the faintest chance that this man was really the CEO of Bennett Group, Isabel would have made sure to show it off by now.

But Isabel didn't mention it, which only confirmed their suspicions. This man must simply share the Bennett surname just a minor businessman, not someone worth boasting about. That's why Isabel hadn't mentioned her partner. Yes, it had to be that way.

"He's-" Logan began to speak, but was immediately stopped by a sharp glance from Xander.

Logan, still in shock, instinctively swallowed, stammering, "H-he's Mr. Bennett. That's his name."

"Oh, so it's just the name?" Sofia teased, a smirk in her voice. "But it's a powerful name! You can tell he's a boss just by hearing it."

Teasing aside, she had to admit, that the man was undeniably handsome. And the noble aura he carried truly matched his name.

"Isabel, is he really your boyfriend?"

Yvette stood up smugly. "Didn't I say earlier? It's her husband, not her boyfriend. They're legally married."

At those words, Logan sank back into his seat in despair.

The moment he had seen Xander earlier, he had known there was no chance for him.

And now..

The matter was settled-they were already married.

it was for the best. At least now, he wouldn't have to hold onto any illusions about Isabel. "Really married?" Sofia asked in surprise, turning to Isabel. "You and Kaleb are really over? Didn't you turn down Logan before because of Kaleb? How did you go from that to getting married so quickly?"

husband,

Isabel sat back down in her seat and met Sofia's gaze. "Are you blind? Kaleb is nowhere near my and my husband treats me well. Any sane person would choose my husband."

Hearing Isabel refer to him as "my husband" so proudly, Xander couldn't help but feel quite pleased.

Sofia stared at Xander, the more she looked at him, the more her own man seemed lackluster in comparison.

Just a moment ago, she had been smug, thinking she was luckier than Isabel, but now, she had been slapped In the face by reality.

As Sofia continued to think this, her gaze landed on the ring on Isabel's finger.

"This ring doesn't look very valuable."

To Sofia, the ring on Isabel's finger seemed like a gift from her husband, but since it didn't look very valuable, she assumed the handsome man must be just an ordinary, broke guy.

After Sofia's comment, everyone's attention turned to the ring. It appeared simple, with nothing special.

"What's the point of being good-looking if you can't do anything else? Can looks put food on the table?" one of the women whispered under her breath.

Isabel overheard the comment and, unlike the earlier remarks that she brushed off, she couldn't tolerate anyone speaking badly about Xander behind his back.

"You're wrong," she said, turning to face the woman. "A handsome man makes the meal more enjoyable. If a man is ugly, you can't even eat properly. So yes, a handsome man can indeed be considered 'food."

The woman was left speechless, unable to reply. What made it even worse was that Isabel's husband was so strikingly handsome that sitting with him felt like they were from entirely different worlds.

Envious!

Jealous!

Frustrated!

Sofia, growing increasingly annoyed, shot a look at Xander. "How did someone like you end up with Isabel?"

Xander's eyes narrowed just slightly as he responded coolly, "We were destined in a past life, and it's fate in this one."
