Chapter 207
A boss?
Who?
Sofia and her family all stared at the black Maybach in front of them, a mix of curiosity and fear on their faces.
What kind of powerful figure had they angered?
However …
When Sofia saw the man’s aristocratic, cold expression, her mouth fell open in shock.
She was wrong!
She was very wrong!
Isabel wasn’t being kept by some ugly, fat old man, nor was she someone’s mistress. She had truly climbed the society, and married into a real aristocratic family!
Gulp. Sofia swallowed nervously, her face as white as a sheet, trembling as she got out of the car. The moment her feet hit the ground, her legs suddenly gave way, and she collapsed to the ground before Xander.
“I’m sorry! I was wrong! I was blind and foolish! I deserve to be punished!” Sofia exclaimed, slapping her own face as she spoke.
She slapped herself hard, the sound ringing out like a metal plate being struck.
Sofia didn’t dare hold back. Although she had no idea who Xander truly was, seeing the scene before her, so many luxury cars and the 20 or so imposing bodyguards surrounding him, coupled with the unrestrained aura Xander exuded, left her feeling terrified and full of dread.
At the same time, Sofia was cursing Lillian in her mind. If Lillian hadn’t assured her that Isabel’s husband was just a gigolo, she never would have insulted him so harshly.
I’m sorry! Please forgive me! I shouldn’t have insulted you, I was wrong! Please, I beg you! Let me go, please!”
Xander stood before Sofia, his expression unreadable. He spoke in a cold, detached tone, “Your mistake wasn’t insulting me.”
Sofia instantly understood.
The scene outside the hotel was still fresh in her mind.
In the heavy snow, the man knelt before Isabel, tying her shoelaces with such tenderness, that it was as if he could not do enough for her.
At the time, she had believed Xander was simply after Isabel’s money, playing a game with her for his own benefit. But now, if she still thought that way, she would be a fool.
The truth was undeniable that this man adored his wife with everything he had and would never allow anyone to insult or harm Isabel.
At this realization, Sofia was filled with both fear and a deep sense of envy toward Isabel.
Of course, she no longer dared to hate her.
She had no right to hate her.
I will apologize to Isabel. I’m going to apologize to her right now!”

Chapter 207
As she spoke, Sofia pulled out her phone and called Isabel’s number.
Just as Isabel had returned to the villa, she received a call from Sofia.
“Huh? Didn’t Sofia and her family leave Solaria? Why is she calling me now?”
Isabel wondered as she answered the phone. Before she could ask anything, Sofia’s heartfelt apology came through the phone.
“Isabel, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things about you. I never meant to hurt your family. I was just speaking out of anger. Please forgive me. We’ve been friends for so long. I’m posting a public apology to you right now on social media and in our class group.”
Huh?
Isabel was even more confused now.
Was it just her imagination, or did it seem like Sofia was more terrified now than when she had faced her earlier?
The fear seemed to seep from her bones.
What was she so afraid of?
Ding!
A notification popped up on Twitter, showing a friend’s new update.
Isabel opened the notification to find Sofia’s public apology post, where she even insulted herself, calling herself stupid and saying she deserved to be slapped, hoping for Isabel’s forgiveness.
As if that wasn’t enough, Isabel also received a message from Yvette.
“Check the group chat!
The class group!
“Something big just happened!”
Isabel didn’t even need to open it to guess what was going on.
But she clicked to check anyway.
And sure enough, it was exactly what she expected.
Sofia tagged everyone in the group chat. “I’m sorry, Isabel. At the party, I shouldn’t have said those things- shouldn’t have insulted your husband by calling him a gigolo. I was drunk and spoke without thinking. Please forgive me!
“I’m sorry!
“I’m sorry!
“I’m sorry!”
Each apology was more earnest than the last.
The classmates in the group chat were all stunned.
What was going on?
Chapter 207

They all knew Sofia’s personality well. Back in school, she was incredibly strong–willed, the type who would never admit when she was wrong. Getting her to acknowledge a mistake was harder than getting her to face death.
And now, here she was, publicly apologizing in the group and on Twitter, telling Isabel she was sorry. It was utterly baffling.
Soon enough, they remembered what Logan had said.
Logan had warned them that if they wanted to stay in Solaria, they should never offend Isabel’s husband
At the time, they had only half–believed him. But then, later, when Sofia chased them out of the hotel, she confidently claimed that Xander was a gigolo, and even said that Logan, in order to protect Isabel, had worked with her to lie about it.
They all knew Logan’s intentions. While Logan was an honest man, if were tempted by Isabel, there was no telling whether he might have agreed to help her.
In the end, they all went along with Sofia’s story, thinking that Logan’s exaggerated claims were part of a scheme with Isabel to put on a show in front of them.
But now, with everything unfolding as it had, there was only one conclusion: Logan’s words were true.
The classmates privately approached Logan, asking him who Isabel’s husband really was.
Logan’s answer was short and to the point–just one sentence.
“If I tell you, my fate will be exactly like Sofia’s.*
After that, they lost all contact with Sofia.
A few curious classmates secretly went to her house to see what was going on.
To their shock, Sofia and her family had moved out.
Moving out overnight–what did that mean?
It was up to them to interpret.
And if that wasn’t enough, Sofia’s family factory had gone bankrupt as well
Additionally, Sofia’s wealthy boyfriend had broken up with her.
All of this only fueled their fear and speculation about Isabel’s husband.
The people who had mocked Isabel and Xander that night, following Sofia’s lead, were now uneasy, anxiousty fearing they might be the next “Sofia.”
Early in the morning, Isabel received a call from Yvette.
“Isabel, is this your husband’s doing? Oh my God! What kind of person is he? He’s so powerful he managed to make Sofia’s entire family move out?”
“I’m not sure about that. Let’s not focus on it right now. By the way, will Max be going with you to the check–up on Saturday? Isabel awkwardly changed the subject.
She had to change the topic. If she told Yvette that Xander was the CEO of Bennett Group, then Max, who was close to Xander, would have his own background questioned.
[] don’t want him to come! He’s just obsessed with the babies in my belly and wants to steal them from me. No way
Chapter 207
Isabel patted her chest, relieved that she had been clever enough to use Max to distract Yvette.
“Alright, then. I’ll come with you on Saturday. I’ve got to go now, so I’ll hang up.”
“Uh, wait, wait, what about what I just said-”
Beep! The call was abruptly ended.
The conversation was cut off.
Isabel glanced at her phone, her mind racing. Something must have happened when Sofia and her family left Solaria last night.
If she was right, it likely had something to do with Xander.
As Isabel was lost in thought, she suddenly noticed someone on the side of the road, pausing and gasping for air, struggling to breathe.
Asthma?
She walked closer to get a better look and was instantly taken aback.
It’s him!
