After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 266

Chapter 266 She's Nothing But Trouble

If Isabel were to say "yes," Yvette wouldn't believe her for a second.

Isabel shot her a thumbs-up. "Hey, you're smart."

Birds of a feather flock together, so it wasn't surprising that Max's friends were just as exceptional as he was. "What's his identity?" Yvette couldn't wait to ask.

Isabel arched a brow. "Why don't you think about it for a second? You should be able to figure it out."

Yvette's eyes widened. Someone from the Bennett family? And one of Max's closest confidants!

"You-you mean... He's the wealthiest man in Solaria?!"

"Smart! That's my best friend," Isabel replied with a chuckle.

Yvette suddenly felt like she needed some time to let everything sink in...

The wedding between Yvette and Max was soon set for January 7th.

To celebrate his upcoming marriage to the love of his life, Max organized a countryside retreat, inviting a crowd of aristocrats and elites from their social circle.

In a sea of nobles, Isabel and Yvette's presence was a stark contrast, leaving them feeling somewhat out of place.

Isabel soon became the focus of mocking and ridicule.

"So, she's Xander's wife? I wonder what kind of tricks she used to climb into his bed," one girl remarked, glaring at Isabel with jealousy, the disdain in her tone all too clear.

"I heard she 'ran into' Xander in front of City Hall," the girl said, deliberately stressing the words "ran into."

"And I also heard that because of her, Xander's mother has been fighting with the entire Bennett family."

"She's nothing but trouble if you ask me."
