After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 303 Counterattack

"Neither of them." The man spoke with confidence.

Before coming, Rachel had shared everything she had uncovered with him.

This included detailed information about Isabel's physical features, like whether she had any birthmarks on her body.

Rachel's lips curled into a sly, triumphant smile. She had anticipated that Isabel wouldn't be easy to deal with, so she had paid meticulous attention to every detail. Oh, Isabel, let's see how you talk your way out of this one!

As Rachel waited eagerly for the show to unfold, she unexpectedly saw Isabel smile through the binoculars.

Rachel's heart skipped a beat. Why is she smiling for no reason?

Could it be... there's still a chance for things to turn around?

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Rachel immediately dismissed it.

Impossible!

She had investigated thoroughly-Isabel didn't have any birthmarks on her body. She did, however, have a mole, but it wasn't on her arm.

So, Isabel must be putting on an act.

Yes, that had to be it!

With this analysis, Rachel felt much more at ease.

"What are you smiling? Did I say something wrong?" The man frowned and asked Isabel.

"Are you certain there's nothing on my arm?" Isabel raised an eyebrow. Her gaze carried an unfathomable hint of amusement.

"That's right! Nothing at all!"

To the man, Isabel's behavior seemed like a deliberate attempt to trick him into revealing something on his own.

Did she think he was that gullible?

"I'm asking you one last time. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance-you'd better think carefully." Isabel pressed the man again, confirming with him. The more Isabel acted like this, the more convinced the man became of his theory.

It was all just an act.

"I've slept with you so many times, and on several occasions, it was in broad daylight. Of course, I saw clearly-there's absolutely nothing on your body. "Not even ..."noveldrama

As the man spoke, his gaze slowly drifted downward, trailing over Isabel's body until it landed...

At that moment, a chill filled the air.

The man felt the presence of death looming over him and hurriedly pulled his wandering gaze back. "Alright. Sigh-what a pity. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

Isabel shook her head, then casually rolled up her right sleeve, pointing to the "birthmark" on her arm. "Then, what do you think this is?"

The man stared wide-eyed at Isabel's arm. His gaze fixed in disbelief.

"Th-this is. "His mouth hung open, wide enough to fit a large egg.

Rachel's expression mirrored his perfectly.

How could this be?

She had thoroughly investigated there was absolutely nothing on Isabel's arm.

Xander's gaze landed on Isabel's arm, focusing on the deep red burn scar. His brows furrowed.

He had asked Isabel about this scar before.

She had told him that when she was

little,

mother

had taken Lillian and her

on a vacation while Reggie stayed at school.

Left behind alone, without a servant to prepare meals, she had beenè starving. With no other choice, she dragged a stool to the kitchen and stood on it to cook for herself.

In the process, the stool tipped over, and she fell, bringing the scalding hot pot down with her.

The burn on her arm was caused by the edge of that pot.

The Zimmermans didn't know about this incident because they had never cared about Isabel.

Isabel let her sleeve drop back down, her face blossoming with a radiant smile as she looked at the man.

"Didn't you just say there was nothing on my arm? Then how do you explain this burn scar?"

"I-I ..." The man stammered, trying to come up with something, but Isabel interrupted him.

"What are you trying to say? That you were blind during the day and somehow missed such a large scar?"

"I-I ... No, no. I... Well, I was too

busy enjoying myself with you. Isn't it normal to overlook something

that in the moment?"
