Chapter 145 Should I Resist

Darn it, how did she know? Isabella was truly taken aback.

The members of the Quirk family exchanged stunned looks with one another.

Ruth's expression almost faltered for a moment, but she quickly snapped, "What are you talking about?"

Rebecca retorted. "If there really was nothing, you should be puzzled, not instantly enraged, Ruth. You're not an actress, it's hard to deceive a professional actor without exceptional acting skills. It was already strange that you asked to meet me, even more so when you in At this point, Ruth really couldn't hold up anymore.

Rebecca held the coffee cup in front of her. "I initially wanted a peaceful resolution, Mrs. Gonzales, but since you're so ruthless, don't blame me for what happens next."

After she finished speaking, Rebecca immediately picked up her phone, ready to make a call.

"Are you calling the police?" Ruth's voice instantly turned shrill.

Upon hearing movement from next cubicle, Isabella immediately stood up. The Quirk family followed. suit. The nearby waitstaff, alerted by the commotion, quickly rushed over.

Ruth was seen almost lunging forward, eager to snatch the coffee cup.

Rebecca was about to grab her coffee cup and make a run for it when she was suddenly shoved from behind by Ruth.

Isabella was the closest, managing just in time to catch Rebecca as she stumbled. However, the coffee cup slipped from her grasp, the coffee inside following a parabolic arc. It ended up drenching someone from head to toe.

At that moment, the Quirk family members had not yet left their semi-circular seating area, they were merely staring blankly at the newcomer.

With a head full of coffee stains, Alexander stared intently at the situation unfolding before him.

Both Ruth and Rebecca were taken aback, for they were well aware of Alexander's identity. Moreover, they had never imagined they would run into Isabella and the Quirk family here.

What a sight this was!

Isabella helped Rebecca steady herself. She wanted to laugh as she watched Alexander's disheveled appearance, yet felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

A look from Alexander swiftly prompted Isabella to quickly step forward. She grabbed a napkin from the dining table and started to wipe him haphazardly, as if she was drying off a drenched puppy. Surprisingly, Alexander did not resist, allowing Isabella to aid him.

Ruth regained her composure. Noticing the coffee was gone, she felt a sense of relief. She then stepped

sorry for that."

Rebecca quickly realized her mistake and hurriedly apologized. She was well aware that she had essentially signed herself over to Quirk Group. After expressing her apology, she gently thanked Isabella. After Ruth finished speaking, she hastily took off.

Rebecca didn't attempt to stop her, her emotions remained steady. She knew that even if she brought up the matter, Ruth would stubbornly deny it, making any argument futile.

However, she wasn't entirely unprepared. She had asked the store clerk for a copy of the surveillance footage. If Ruth tried to cause her any more trouble, she would use the video as a warning.

"What a pity." the Quirk family members thought as their eyes fingered on the coffee cup that lay shattered on the floor. However, after this incident, they believed that Ruth would likely not dare to provoke Rebecca again.

As the boss. Christopher urged Rebecca not to act alone in the future and to always involve her agent in all

matters.

Rebecca nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Rebecca also bid goodbye to everyone, and calmly left the hotel. As long as she left now. whatever happened here in the future would no longer concern her.

By this time, the hotel manager had already rushed over, perceptively inviting Alexander to freshen up in the upstairs presidential suite.

Although he managed to prevent his hair from dripping coffee, he couldn't possibly leave with his hair looking like this, so he had no choice but to go upstairs to wash it.

The Quirk family members exchanged looks, immediately attempting to persuade Isabella to join him.

However, before they even had a chance to speak, Isabella suddenly said, "I'll accompany you."

Taken aback, Alexander looked at Isabella.

The Quirk family was overjoyed, finally....

The presidential suite, huh? They're on the same floor. Right now, Gordon is in the throes of the medicine's effects. Mrs. Gonzales should be with him by now. And the paparazzi might be planning to break in at any moment, who knows what they could capture... Oh, what The Quirk family thought, "To say or not to say, beyond reason, yet expected."

All right, their curiosity was piqued. Initially, they had rushed over to help, but now that everything was fine, they could relax and enjoy the show.

Quietly, Alexander heaved a sigh, then turned to leave, Isabella promptly followed him, her steps light and

cager.

Once they had left, the Quirk family immediately requested a room and followed suit.

Upon entering the room and undressing, it was then noticed that Alexander's clothes were stained as well. Fortunately, he always kept spare clothes in his business car. A quick phone call to his assistant would Chapter 145 Should I Resist

ensure a fresh set delivered promptly.

Having removed his shirt, Alexander headed to the bathroom first, quickly freshening up. Then, donning a bathrobe, he emerged to fetch his fresh clothes.

When he came out, he was met with the sight of Isabella sitting on the plush, oversized bed, clutching his clothes in her arms, her gaze intense and unwavering.

No matter how he looked at the scene, it felt... quite subile. Alexander's gaze darkened slightly. He wasn't sure if it was due to the warm lighting of the hotel room, or something else... but he felt a stir in his heart. Suddenly, Isabella turned her head to look at him. Her eyes were distinctly black and white, incredibly

vibrant.

"What are you doing?" Alexander's voice was inexplicably hoarse.

Isabella suddenly became animated. "I just thought of something, can the residue on the clothes be tested for medicinal properties?" She quickly relayed the conversation she had overheard so as not to give herself away.

Alexander was at a loss for words.

"Have the assistant deliver it later for testing."

Isabella nodded, suddenly stiffening. With a hint of confusion, she stole a glance at Alexander.

Alexander then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Isabella quickly shook her head. "No, have you finished washing?"

Alexander didn't give it much thought. Just as he was about to nod, he heard a continuous stream of inner thoughts from Isabella.

Darn, I forgot. Alexander's lips might have accidentally come into contact with the coffee. If even a trace of the drug is present, will he be affected? His complexion looks slightly flushed now, but is it because of the drug's effects, or is it due to the steam from the hot bath? Upon hearing this, Alexander was taken aback. He was just about to call out when the coffee splashed onto

him.

Could there possibly be some drug effect? Would he suddenly lose his senses, lunge at me, and then who knows what? Alexander's cheeks were genuinely flushed. Was the previous palpitation due to the effects of the drug?

Such a stunningly handsome man, so full of restraint. If he were to pounce, should not resist, or to simply not resist... Feeling a flush of heat at the base of his ears, Alexander was rigid with tension. He stole a quick glance at Isabella. Does she... want to do it?

After all, I'm not the one who drugged him, I'm actually the victim here...

Coughing a few times, Alexander moved to the side of the bed to pick up his clothes. He certainly wouldn't engage in such actions under such unclear circumstances.

Alexander froze, an unfamiliar sensation surged within his heart. In the past, hearing her speak such nonsense would irritate him, leave him feeling helpless. But now, it felt as if he was pricked by a needle. It felt uncomfortable.

No, no, no, it's not right to take advantage of someone's vulnerability, calm down, calm down... It's about time, I should check on their situation, divert my attention a bit.

A glint of intensity flashed through Alexander's eyes, a rush of warmth flooding his head. Before anyone, could react, he positioned himself directly in front of her and closed in.
