Suddenly, an idea struck David. He took out his phone pretending to be surprised. "Alexander mentioned. that a friend's restaurant just got a shipment of high-quality ingredients. He suggested we go out for dinner, he said. Immediately, Selena chimed in. "Which hotel?"

"King Hotel," David said, simultaneously sending a message to Alexander to corroborate their story.

Upon hearing the name of the hotel, a jolt ran through Isabella.

Evian immediately suggested, "Then let's go have dinner."

Rosalie also nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Christopher pulled Callahan to her feet, saying, "I'll go tell the driver to get the car ready."

Only Callahan wore a bewildered look as he observed the crowd.

Isabella thought, "D*mn, what are the odds?"

The Quirk family members stiffened. Are we trying too hard?

Isabella thought, "It seems even the heavens can't stand by and watch, urging us to rescue Rebecca!"

The Quirk family collectively let out a sigh of relief, promptly springing into action.

As Alexander was busy with his paperwork, he glanced at the message on his phone and fell into silence. He swiftly organized his work before engaging in family activities.

Otherwise, given the popularity of Christopher and Isabella, they could have been recognized even if they tried to disguise themselves. Under the reception of the waitstaff, everyone lingered around, until they heard the innermost thoughts of Isabella.

We arrived just in time. They are still in the restaurant, discussing matters. The drug has been slipped into the coffee, but fortunately, it hasn't been consumed yet.
