Chapter 381 Calm Before The Storm
Christopher was speechless at Carlosâ behavior. I really donât know what to say about my cousin.
Canât he feel what his own body has been through? I was planning to enjoy the drama, but now, I canât just stir up trouble for the fun of it. I have to keep this secret. Otherwise, wouldnât we be bullying Sylvie? After all, this is her own choice.
Alexander knew that if this matter were to come to light, it should be discovered by Carlos himself or revealed by Sylvie. No one else had the right to interfere.
âYou sent me a text. Thatâs how we managed to get here on time,â explained Alexander simply.
Carlos was taken aback. âA text?â
Isabellaâs and Christopherâs hearts skipped a beat. Would he discover something?
Naturally, Alexander couldnât hide the truth, especially since the text was in Carlosâ own phone.
It seemed that Carlos was in a state of confusion, so he didnât particularly care whether he was sending at text or making a phone call. He simply assumed that his disoriented state was due to the influence of some medication, leading him to send a message to Alexander in his befuddled state.
He even attributed the various unfamiliar sensations in his body to the effects of resisting the medication.
Right now, his entire focus was concerning Penelope.
âI must have been blind, I never thought Iâd encounter such a crazy woman!â Carlos was truly enraged as he vented his anger on the hospital bed:
Immediately, Sarah asked him about what had really happened.
Carlos spoke his piece, after which the others relayed to him the events they had encountered along the way.
Upon hearing that Penelope had been taken away by an ambulance, Carlos was also overcome with anger.
âThis girl had it coming. She really almost died,â Sarah said, seething with anger. With a stern face, she added, âCarlos, let me handle this matter for you.â
The underlying message was clear; they intended to teach Penelope a lesson.
No one should mistake the Quirk familyâs kindness as a trait that made them easy targets for manipulation. Crossing them came with a price to pay No one tried to play the saint in that situation, and Carlos didnât attempt to intervene either. He knew his elder sister was protective, but he also knew she wouldnât go overboard.
After a night of commotion, in the end, only Carlos was left in the hospital for observation, while everyone. else returned to the Quirk estate to rest.
Isabella was also thoroughly exhausted, sleeping soundly until well into the afternoon.
Before she had fully awakened, she heard an urgent knocking at the door, accompanied by Rosalieâs voice. âBella! Bella! Thereâs trouble! Are you awake?â
Isabella instantly jolted awake and quickly scrambled to answer the door. There, she found Evian, Rosalie, Chapter 381 Calm Before The Storm Isabella exclaimed in surprise, âWhat happened?â
Rosalie anxiously said, âPenelope falsely accused Carles, and he was summoned by the police.â
Isabella eked out. âHuh?â
In haste, Janice placed her mobile phone in front of Isabella. Displayed on the screen was a popular forum at Yrinas University, which featured the most trending post of the day.
âBella, this contains the most detailed and latest information.â Janice only realized something was arniss after hearing her classmates gossip about it at the university.
By the time she reached out to everyone, it was already too late. The police had already gone for Carlos.
âAlexander and the others rushed over from the headquarters once they found out,â Evian began.
âSarah and Christopher also set off as soon as they got the word. We came to get you.
Isabella was still utterly perplexed. We should be suing Penelope after what happened last night.
How is she able to sue Carlos instead?
Isabella was truly at a loss, unable to make heads or tails of the situation. She quickly freshened up, changed her clothes, and set off with everyone else.
While in the car, she had taken Janiceâs phone to study the incriminating post while simultaneously using the system in her mind to gather information.
The post was shared anonymously, but Isabella had already discovered the truth through the system.
Penelope had lost so much blood that she fainted and had to be hospitalized just the night before.
Yet, she could still muster the energy to anonymously post slandering messages about Carlos in the middle of the night. Itâs as if sheâs bent on destroying him if she canât have him. This woman is truly mad The post portrayed Penelope as a pureâhearted female student with a deep love for music. She was initially thrilled when Carlos accepted her as his student. However, it turned out that Carlos was a devil in disguise. He exploited his position as a teacher to intimidate and harass her.

Yet, Carlos not only intended to control her but also attempted to toy th her. She was adamantly against this, but he wanted to overpower her.
