Chapter 275 Stop Being Nosy
Finished
When Alexander heard Isabella's thoughts that the crowd was on their way to catch Damien and Deborah together, his eyes darkened.
He immediately said, "Bella, go to the door and take a discreet look outside."
Immediately, Isabella dashed to the door and pulled it open just a crack to peek outside. After a quick glance, she promptly shut the door.
"Shoot, I see a group of people heading this way. If we step out now, we'll definitely be spotted right away."
In the bathroom, Damien had also heard Isabella's words. His face turned pale as a sheet, a picture of despair and resentment.
"Why... Why is this happening..." Recalling the actions of his mother, sister, cousin, and his closest family members. Damien truly felt as if he was going to burst a vessel.
"Now's not the time to think about this," Alexander said coldly.
Alexander knew that Damich wanted to force himself to stay calm and think of a solution. However, the latter's body, under the influence of the drug, didn't afford him this opportunity, If his sense of self hadn't been so strong, he would have lost his senses. Seeing that Damien was unable to make a decision, Alexander made it for him.
Meanwhile, the water in the bath had already covered Damien's body.
Alexander turned off the water, tossing a towel to Damien
. He said. "If you can't bear with it, bite down on this. Just don't make any noise. We don't want others to know you're here."
The steady voice of Alexander was naturally persuasive It had such an effect on Damien that, despite his muddled mind, he was still compelled to follow Alexander's instructions.
When Alexander emerged, Isabella was earnestly trying to wake Deborah up. After looking around, he said, "Bella, hide her in the closet. Let's pretend it's just the two of us in this room."
Suddenly, Isabella had an epiphany.
Dang, no wonder he's the boss. Why didn't I think of that? If those guys burst in and found us, a married couple, together, they'd surely be too embarrassed to search the room, right? And if they dared to, Alexander can always stare them down with the icy look of his! Alexander was speechless upon hearing her thoughts.
Immediately, Isabella lifted Deborah and hid her in a wardrobe nearby.
As she turned around, she saw Alexander tidying up the room. As for the shattered vase and the blood Damien accidentally spilled on the floor, she could only conceal them from view.
At that moment, Oliver was striding down the corridor outside with a menacing air.
Suddenly, the three members of the Quirk family passed by and grabbed Oliver. It seemed as if they hadn't noticed the crowd that was following him from behind..

"Perfect timing. You must be Oliver, right? Have you seen our son and daughter-in-law? We've been searching for them everywhere, but we can't reach them on the phone. We have an urgent matter to discuss with them!" said David.
Selena added. "I'm really anxious. Could you perhaps use the loudspeaker to help us make an announcement?"
Evian also helped to stall for time, suggesting, "Maybe you could help us check the surveillance cameras too?"
Oliver was in a hurry to catch the cheaters, but to his dismay, he was obstructed by these three clueless individuals. He was immediately enraged, but he didn't dare to vent his anger. After all, their status was not something he could ignore, so he could only curse them in his heart.
"You should talk to my mom to sort this out."
"The Quirk family naturally wouldn't allow that ingrate to slip away so easily. No matter what Alexander and Isabella were doing, they needed to buy them some time."
At that moment, seeing her opportunity, the anxious Lydia quickly approached the Quirk family.
However, everyone had underestimated the extent of Oliver's shamelessness. To achieve his goal, Oliver abandoned all pretenses, pushing past the crowd and rushing toward the break room. His actions were reminiscent of a man catching his cheating wife, causing a surge of excitement among those who followed him.
In particular, the reporters who were invited disregarded all protocol in their pursuit of an exposé, swarming forward eagerly.
The moment the door was flung open, Oliver yelled without looking, "What on earth are you doing?"
A female voice screamed, "Ah!"
"Ah, could it really be Damien and Deborah?" Ruby immediately exclaimed from behind the crowd.
The expressions of the Winters and Carney families changed dramatically as they pushed through the crowd to get to the front. Lydia's face had turned incredibly gloomy, and she abruptly turned to look at Ava at the back. As expected, she saw a cold smirk playing around the latter's lips.
Seeing Ava's reaction, Lydia had a sudden realization that triggered a chill in her heart. It was beyond her wildest imagination that Ava could dislike her own son to such an extent due to superstition.
Deborah had just become engaged to Oliver. Now, if something were to occur between her and Damien, he would be accused of having an affair with his brother's fiancé. Such a scandal would ruin his reputation completely, let alone stand a chance of becoming the heir to the Winters family.
Lydia felt a profound sense of despair. It seemed like disaster was inevitable.
The spectators were thrilled, their gossips growing louder, attracting even more onlookers.
All of them were there in anticipation of the impending drama.
At the same time, their friends immediately rushed over. Everyone was anxious, worried that something bad had really happened to their friends. After all, these two individuals had never been embroiled in any scandals before.

At this point, the scene at the front started to take on a somewhat strange turn.
Finished
The flashes of cameras, which should have been flickering, abruptly ceased after a mere moment. An icy aura seemingly seeped out from the entrance.
Then came the sound of everyone gasping..
As a chilling voice echoed, everyone was taken aback by the suppressed rage in the tone.
"How dare you barge in on my wife and me without even knocking? Is this the hospitality shown by the Winters family? Get out!"
Members of the Quirk family and the small group were taken aback. The voice belonged to Alexander. Moreover, the voice that had just called out seemed to be Isabella's.
The reporters at the forefront looked visibly upset. Judging by Alexander's aura, they knew he was not someone they could mess with. Besides, they were faced with a married couple, which didn't make it a scandal at all. Thus, they quickly backed away. -Please delete the photos you've taken. I'm sure you wouldn't want to deal with the legal department of Quirk Group," Alexander warned.
As soon as these words were spoken, the reporters forgot their attempt to step back, hurriedly pulling their cameras to delete the photos.
OUL
No one dared to get into trouble with the legal department of the Quirk Group, unless they were looking forward to jail time.
Some of the more experienced individuals quickly guessed the identities of the two people. Although they dared not report it, they were still aware of what was going on.
Presumably, the two individuals were Alexander, the CEO of Quirk Group, and Isabella, the Justice Upholder.
Previously, when rumors circulated that they were a married couple, many were skeptical. But now, they believed it. No wonder Justice Upholder can offend so many people without repercussions. Her family background is not one to be trifled with. Mr. Oliver has really done us in. We have to leave quickly, lest this couple remember our faces. Oliver, who was standing at the very front, stared in shock at the scene before him.
"What's going on?" Ruby was taken aback, immediately pushing her way forward. There, she saw Alexander sitting on the couch, cradling Isabella in his arms. It appeared that Isabella had been frightened, hence she was burying her face in Alexander's shoulder. The two were quite clearly in the middle of a passionate moment, perhaps sharing a hug or a kiss when they were abruptly interrupted. It was no wonder that Alexander was angry. The rude treatment he had received was utterly embarrassing. Inside the room, there was no one else aside from the two of them.
