"Why are you the ones here?" Ruby shrieked, after all, she was the one who last saw Deborah and Damien together.
It was clear that the two of them had been in bed just a moment ago, utterly powerless against her machinations. Yet, they had somehow been replaced a mere ten minutes later.
"Where are Deborah and Damien?" Oliver also realized it, swiftly scanning the room once more, seemingly questioning whether the two had managed to hide themselves.
Alexander's brow furrowed, his patience wearing thin. He saw no need to waste words with these people. Instead, he merely looked at them with an icy stare.
The atmosphere in the room became so tense that it was frightening.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're in such a rush to find someone, why are you still here?" Alexander frowned, his indifferent demeanor making it impossible for anyone to suspect he was lying. "Why aren't they here? Did you guys-"Before Oliver could kick up a fuss, a sudden slap interrupted him.
Lydia stepped forward and slapped her hysterical son. Enough, you must be drunk to be causing such a scene with our guests."
After scolding her son, she immediately turned to Alexander and Isabella, saying, "I'm sorry. We've made a mistake. I'll come back later to offer you both a proper apology
"Mdm. Lydia, that's not necessary. Whoever caused this should be the one to apologize," Isabella said in a muffled tone.
Lydia responded with a smile, then gave Alexander a profound look.
Both of them were astute individuals. When Alexander gave a slight nod, Lydia immediately understood. that he had helped the Winters family dodge a bullet.
Lydia wasn't sure where those two people were, but she was certain that leading the crowd away was the right move.
"Get out!" Lydia gave Oliver, who was lingering by the door, a push from behind.
Oliver seemed to have just snapped out of the embarrassment caused by the public slap. His face stung with a burning sensation, and in an instant, he glared angrily, protesting, "Something's wrong! Those two "You!" Lydia couldn't believe her own son was so consumed by malice, stooping so low as to frame others. Is he really my son?
When it seemed that a conflict between mother and son was imminent, Howard squeezed himself forward to mediate.
"How did this happen? Could there be some sort of misunderstanding?"
"Today is your engagement party. Stop trying to ruin it Lydia's tone had become quite stern, finally striking fear into Oliver. 90%

Everyone believed it was a misunderstanding. Not wanting to offend anyone, they all decided to leave.
"No, if they're not here, they must be somewhere else. Ruby was getting frantic. They have been drugged. Even if they had managed to wake up halfway and escape, they probably wouldn't be able to leave the mansion.
She began to speak without reservation. "I saw them having an affair with my own eyes. If we keep looking, we will surely find them!"
"This is outrageous!" The Carney family was enraged. "Where did this lunatic come from? Take her away right now!"
When Ruby was called a lunatic, she immediately caused a commotion. Upon hearing this, the perplexed Ava instantly became furious. "Who are you calling a lunatic?"
Lydia immediately called for security, having everyone ushered out before any arguments could ensue.
If Deborah and Damien didn't get out soon, the situation would continue to escalate.
The last ones to leave were the Quirk family. They had simply come to enjoy the drama, but now, they had the joy of witnessing their son holding his wife in his arms, their grins were ear to ear. After all, it was a rare sight to see them so close, which made for a truly sweet moment
Only when the door was closed did Alexander release Isabella.
Isabella's eyes sparkled in an instant, clearly finding the resolution of this crisis to be thrilling.
"You're amazing. Everything seems to be under your control!" Isabella complimented generously.
Given how rare it was for her to massage his ego, Alexander struggled to suppress a smile.
"Let's check on their condition first. For now, don't let them come out, just in case someone comes in. We'll have a private doctor deal with them."
Isabella nodded, moving toward the wardrobe to check on Deborah. Good heavens, what kind of potent sleeping pill was used? She doesn't look like she's regaining consciousness anytime soon.
As Alexander went in to check, he simultaneously used his phone to update his friends about the situation. He then instructed them to bring a doctor in discreetly. He also let them know that Lydia would provide any cooperation needed.
Meanwhile, everyone had their own speculations, causing quite a commotion in the point where they were practically fuming with frustration.
"He actually schemed against both of his friends? Is he out of his mind?"

They told Alexander not to worry, promising to keep a close eye on the situation outside and make the necessary arrangements.
However, it seemed that Lydia hardly had the time to be of help, as the people in the hall were too busy arguing and causing a ruckus.
Alexander also heard the murmurings of Isabella's mind.
Isabella thought, Was Ruby genuinely naive, or was she just a victim of circumstances? She stubbornly refused to change her story, insisting that she had seen it with her own eyes. She even started to fabricate lies, hurling all sorts of

accusations at Damien, as if the intended to paint her ten bither as a lecherous pervert with an unhealthy interest in his own sister-in-law. Was she planning to tarnish Damien's reputation even if she couldn't catch him in the act? She is both foolish and malicious, just like her mother. Despite the outrageousness of Ruby's claims, she sounds convincing because she is his sister. I truly can't believe she would do something like that!
At the same time. Alexander had received updates from his group chat and family. Although they had tried to refute the rumors, most people were still more inclined to believe the sensational gossip.
After all, spreading rumors was easy, while quelling was anything but that.
Moreover, the fact that both parties involved were not around made things worse.
Isabella though, Indeed, no one can stop that crazy dun. Oliver is acting all distressed, insisting on searching the entire mansion. They know that the effects of the drug are still present, and it would likely cause the pair to spiral out of control. D'm just malized that it means the dazed Deborah would be suffering, wouldn't she? They aren't just trying to fabricate a scandal. Instead, they are plotting to completely ruin Damien... This is a plot to utterly destroy him. If Deborah hates Damien for it, it could even lead to a complete fallout between them. How malicious, they are pushing Damien to his complete destruction!
Outside the bathroom, Alexander stood guard, watching Damien lose control of his senses. He couldn't even bite onto the towel, deeply furrowing his brows. If it weren't for the slippery bathtub that he couldn't climb out of, he might have made an even bigger fuss. Isabella thought, Wow, Mdm. Lydia is quite sharp, isn't she She knew that the two have been safely hidden by us, so she didn't let her anxiety make her look guilty. She simply let Oliver and his group carry on with their foolish antics.
Alexander had also received a message. Everyone agreed that this was a better approach, as it allowed. them to accurately gauge the right moment to bring in the doctor.
All that was left to do was to wait.
Isabella curiously asked Alexander, "How is he doing?"
Alexander didn't let Isabella come closer. Instead, he pulled her to sit down and wait, explaining the current situation.
Finally, unable to contain her curiosity, Isabella asked, "I can't believe how crazy they are. Putting aside the twisted motives behind their actions, just the fact that they're so brazen about it... Damien and Deborah aren't likely to forget about this, are they? Once they're exposed, won't these people have nowhere to run? Surely, they can't be planning to argue their way out of this? People aren't fools, you know."
