After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 231 Evil Will Be Punished

Gosh, I've fallen into a trap!

Isabel had suspected Jessica's malicious intent long before arriving and had taken precautions. However, Yvette's pregnancy made protecting her a priority, leaving Isabel flustered and vulnerable. Never in her wildest thoughts did she imagine Jessica would spring such a Given Jessica's character, Isabel doubted she had the nerve to use Yvette as a pawn in her schemes-it was too extreme, with risks of imprisonment if exposed.

devious ambush.

The sound of a door slamming shut echoed through the room, followed by Jessica's chillingly gleeful voice.

"Surround her! Don't let her escape!"

Isabel blinked rapidly, trying to clear her vision, but her eyes stung more with every attempt. The world around her blurred into indistinct shapes.

"Jessica, what are you planning?"

Jessica erupted into a malicious laugh, her twisted smile radiating pure spite. "What am I planning? Didn't you humiliate and disgust me before? Today, I've brought a dozen creepy old men, all more terrifying than Mr. Wright. I've drugged them, and I'll enjoy watching you suffer!

"Oh, I also called the police. By the time they show up, you'll be caught in the act. I even tipped off the reporters. By tomorrow, you'll be the most infamous hooker in Solaria!"

Jessica's expression brimmed with vengeful satisfaction, her imagination running wild with Isabel's downfall.

Isabel stayed cautious, her sharp eyes narrowing. "Jessica, who gave you the nerve to pull something like this?"

Though Jessica had meticulously planned everything, Isabel doubted she had the guts to come up with such a scheme alone.

Jessica was cunning and hypocritical, but not bold enough for something this extreme. Someone else had to be behind it. But who?

Remaining calm, Isabel reviewed the recent events and people she had angered, quickly narrowing her suspicion to one individual. Still, it was only a theory-no solid evidence. Perhaps Jessica had just been pushed too far and lost all sense of reason.

"Where's Yvette?" Isabel asked sharply.

"Hah! You should worry about yourself first!" Jessica sneered. "Yvette insulted me repeatedly. I won't let her off easily!" Her voice trembled with resentment. Isabel's expression darkened. Thankfully, she had alerted Max ahead of time, or Yvette might have been in grave danger.

She silently hoped Max had arrived in time.

While Isabel was lost in thought, Jessica approached her, holding a glass of water. "Drink this. It'll ease the pain later and even let you enjoy what's coming."

Isabel showed a mocking smile. "You sound like you've got plenty of experience with this sort of thing."

Jessica's face contorted with rage, her eyes bloodshot as she snapped, "Isabel, you should cooperate. We were like sisters once, so I prepared this specially for you. Drink it, or you'll regret it."

After a brief silence, Isabel sighed. "Fine, you win. With so many people here, escaping is impossible anyway. Hand it over."

Since Isabel couldn't see, Jessica placed the glass directly into her hand.

Pretending to accept it, Isabel suddenly grabbed Jessica's arm, yanking her forward and locking her in a firm chokehold. "Agh-" Jessica cried out in pain.

Without hesitation, Isabel tilted the glass, forcing the water into Jessica's mouth.

"You-ugh-" Jessica coughed and gagged, trying desperately to spit it out, but Isabel's grip only grew tighter.

Jessica's muffled protests faded into gasps and chokes as she thrashed about, her eyes rolling in panic.

At that moment, the old men who had been drugged earlier began reacting, their movements turning aggressive as they charged forward.

Jessica's face turned pale with shock as she watched the chaotic scene unfold.

"I-Isabel, let go of me! Quickly!" she stammered, her voice trembling.

Isabel smirked. "Sure."

Without hesitation, Isabel shoved Jessica straight into the group of old men.

The men swarmed her like wild beasts, their frenzy overwhelming her in seconds.

"Ah-help me! Please!" Jessica's screams echoed through the room, filled with desperation.

There were too many of them, and Jessica couldn't hold their attention alone. Soon, some of the old men turned their focus toward Isabel.

Still unable to see clearly, Isabel relied on her hearing to anticipate their movements.

Suddenly, a hand clamped down on her shoulder. Reacting instinctively, she gripped the wrist and twisted it with all her strength.

"Ah-"A shrill, pig-like cry pierced the air.

But the attacks didn't stop. More hands reached for her, forcing Isabel to fend off her attackers one by one.

She fought to buy herself time, hoping her vision would return soon.

Amidst the chaos, her thoughts turned to Yvette. Had Max managed to reach her in time?

Meanwhile, in another room, Yvette stood frozen as two older men advanced toward her. Fear twisted her expression as she backed away, pressing herself against the wall.

"Don't come any closer!" she shouted, her voice shaking. "I'm pregnant! If anything happens to me, it won't just be one life lost-it be four! You'll be held accountable!"

Her words only seemed to amuse them. The men exchanged sly grins, their eyes gleaming with malice.

"Pregnant, huh?" one of them sneered. "Never tried that before. Guess there's a first time for everything."

Yvette's heart raced as terror gripped her.

"Help! Somebody, please!" she screamed as the men closed the distance.

One of them grabbed her wrist as she tried to run.

"Don't be scared. We'll take it slow," he said with a sinister smile, leaning in far too close.

Yvette squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself. But instead of the man's disgusting touch, she heard his startled voice.

"Who are you?"

Upon hearing that, Yvette was overjoyed.

Could it be Isabel coming to her rescue?

With hope in her heart, she opened her eyes eagerly, only to be surprised-it was Max standing before her.

How did he end up here?

Max's typical laid-back attitude was nowhere to be seen, replaced instead by a rare intensity.

He seized the old man's hand, his voice icy and sharp as he said, "How dare you touch my woman!"

With a sharp twist, he broke the man's hand, the sound of snapping bones echoing through the room.

Without hesitation, Max delivered a powerful kick to the man's leg, shattering his knee with another sickening crack.

Yvette watched in stunned silence,

her wide eyes fixed on Max. A mix of emotions surged within her, leaving her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Somehow, in this moment, Max appeared strikingly different-almost impossibly handsome.

After subduing the two men, Max turned to Yvette, his expression softening as he approached. "Are you alright?"

Yvette's eyes flickered as she tried to steady herself, masking the storm of emotions she felt.

"I'm okay-wait!" she suddenly exclaimed, her thoughts snapping to someone else. "Isabel! What about her? Is she safe?" Max reassured her, "Don't worry. Xander has arrived."
