Chapter 242 The Unexpected Pool Party

Finished

Two hours later, Stephanie woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Roland watching over her. Ast her memories started to return, she immediately felt embarrassed and pulled up the blanket to cover her face.

Recalling the impulsive request she had made to Roland, she couldn't blame it all on the drugs as she was still somewhat rational at the time. If it had been Ethan, she would never have agreed. But it was Roland, and she had indulged herself. "Stephanic, are you okay?" Roland's voice came awkwardly from outside.

Stephanie buried herself under the covers like an ostrich for a while before mumbling, "I'm sorry."

With a slightly flushed face, Roland reassured her. "It's not your fault. You don't need to apologize. It was Ethan who drugged you."

"Thank you for saving me," Stephanie said gratefully, pulling the blanket down to pretend nothing had happened.

But as their eyes met, they both remembered the situation earlier. Added to that, Roland had a wound on his lip where Stephanie had bitten him.

In a swift motion, one of them retreated under the covers while the other turned away, hastily gathering various documents and placing them on the bedside table.

Roland cleared his throat before saying. "Regarding Ethan's crime, I have evidence of his drug purchase and can testify in this matter. But if we want to convict him fully, we'll need the video files from the camera as evidence. The decision is yours. However, it depends on the severity of the charges. If you want to destroy the video, I understand."

After all, it was a matter of respecting the victim's wishes.

Stephanie emerged from under the covers, pale-faced, Her gaze turned dark. "I want to sue him. I'm willing to provide any evidence. I want him to face the consequences he deserves."

With that, Stephanie hugged herself, trembling all over

Roland frowned and stepped forward to patted Stephanie on the shoulder. "Don't be afraid. I'll be with you."

The two victims would unite to hold this brute accountable.

"Th... thank... Stephanie looked up, but as their eyes met again, they both shyly looked away.

Later, the Nox family arrived upon hearing the news and joined Roland in handling the case.

A few days later, they heard that Ethan had been sentenced to prison and would be deported after serving his sentence. He might also face further charges abroad, but one thing was certain-he wouldn't escape punishment.

A week later, the storm in the Ford family gradually subsided.

There were no updates from Roland and Stephanie, so Isabella lost interest in following the gossip,

Chapter 242 The Unexpected Pool Party

Finished

At this moment, Isabella arrived at Quirk Group with the sweets made by Selena and delivered them to Alexander.

Selena and Evian had been gossiping in front of her that a beautiful female business partner had recently been aggressively pursuing Alexander, but she didn't care. She was not here to assert her position as the official wife but was just curious about the situation. Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at the company, the receptionists' gazes toward her changed. Their exchanged glances were full of gossip. However, they still showed respect to Isabella, unlike before.

Passing by Alexander's office, on the way to the CEO's office, the assistants looked awkward at the sight of her and continuously glanced at the office, their implications clear.

Isabella thought, Oh, the home-wrecker is inside? Perfect timing.

Isabella was well-mannered and told the assistant to inform him of her arrival.

The assistant was taken aback. "Mr. Alexander left instructions that you can enter anytime when you're here."

Isabella blinked, feeling a slight warmth on her face. Approaching the office door, just as she was about to knock, voices from inside could be heard.
