Chapter 298 Secret Tracking
"If Victoria was really raped as I suspect, will you still keep it from Alexander? Would you still consider her the innocent wife of Alexander?" Isabella relentlessly pressed on with her interrogation.Both Benjamin and Edward exchanged uneasy glances, their brows furrowing in displeasure. Edward turned to her, countering, "If she was indeed violated, wouldn't that make Victoria the victim?""And if Alexander were to cast her aside because of this, what would that make him?" Benjamin added, his voice laced with a subtle challenge."Are you both out of your minds? What are you..." Isabella's words trailed off, her understanding of the situation slipping. However, just as she was about to launch into a tirade, the doorbell of Benjamin's house chimed once more.It was Sebastian.Sebastian had merely intended to engage in a casual chat with Benjamin, seeking solace from his recent melancholy. He hadn't anticipated the house to be teeming with people. Upon spotting Isabella, he instinctively chose a seat farthest from her.Isabella, however, turned her gaze towards him, her voice dripping with disdain as she asked, "What brings you here?""Last I checked, this wasn't your house, was it?" Sebastian retorted.
"What's that supposed to mean? Can't I even ask a question now?" Isabella retorted.Sebastian chuckled at her irritation before rising from his seat. "In that case, I'll take my leave."Benjamin was at a loss for words. He silently wished they would all depart. He was already contemplating changing his door lock password to prevent these impromptu gatherings. His gaze landed on Isabella, who sat across him with a scowl etched on her face, further solidifying his decision."From now on, refrain from dropping by unannounced. My house isn't a diner!" Benjamin finally voiced his thoughts."What's that supposed to mean? If you're tired, you can always come over to my place. I'll hire a cook, and we can have dinner together," Isabella shot back. She had understood Benjamin's underlying message, but she yearned for their constant companionship."If I ever find myself too lazy to cook, I'll be sure to take you up on that offer," Benjamin replied, maintaining a semblance of cordiality.After Isabella's departure, she promptly instructed, "Go and see if Alexander has visited Rockland Street again.""Understood," her bodyguard, Thaddeus, immediately responded.However, as the clock ticked past ten and Alexander's car was nowhere in sight, Thaddeus was about to abandon his post. Just as he was about to leave, a sports car pulled up at the community's entrance.The car paused briefly before being granted entry. Thaddeus recognized the unique vehicle - it was the only one of its kind in Ankenra. He surmised it must be Alexander's car.As the rain began to fall, Thaddeus snapped a photo and forwarded it to Isabella. Upon seeing the image, Isabella flung the wine glass she held in her hand.Isabella couldn't fathom Alexander's fascination with Victoria. She was determined to put an end to their relationship, fearing Alexander would soon reveal his secret marriage to VictoriaHints of their secret union had been dropped on several occasions, leading some to speculate that his secretary was indeed his wife. If he dropped any more hints, it would confirm everyone's suspicions about Victoria.Isabella's initial plan was to keep Alexander's previous marriage a secret, positioning herself as his first wife. But now, she wasn't even certain if she could secure a place in his life. Alexander's affection towards her seemed to have dwindled. Isabella blamed Victoria for this shift. Alexander had always been kind to her, but upon his return, he had begun to distance himself.As the rain pattered against the window, Isabella wondered if Alexander would return that night. They used to share an intimate bond, providing her with a sense of security. But now, Isabella was plagued with the fear of Victoria occupying Alexander's bed each night.
