Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind.

Chapter 209 A Marriage Alliance.

Finished

Audrey obviously wouldn't admit anything and promptly interrupted, "Ms. Meadows, what's wrong with you? Please don't be so worked up."

Even though she said so, her awkward expression and guilty demeanor had already said it all.

a

That could possibly be wrong with Dakota? She's hurt by bich like you! Isabella was flabbergasted as she watched Audrey's act on the screen.

If things had gone as Audrey initially anticipated, the relatives of the Hampton family would have gleaned from their conversation about Dakota and Josiah's affairs. As long as they couldn't see their expressions, hearing that part of the conversation would merely reveal Josiah's past heartbreak. No one would guess that the ex-girlfriend Audrey was referring to was actually herself

Alexander couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. It's indeed flawless. But a truly smart person wouldn't have revealed anything about his ex-girlfriend to Dakota in the first place. It seems like Alexander's jealousy has clouded her judgment, leading her to act this way. "You... You guys are shameless!" Dakota could no longer hold back her scornful rebuke.

The expression on Audrey's face changed slightly, and she spoke with a hint of threat, "Ms. Meadows, it's not quite right to insult your employer, is it? After all, I did help you out in your hour of need. You should be thanking me instead."

Dakota was trembling with anger as she glared fiercely at Audrey. "Since you asked me here to do makeup. then don't bother me with irrelevant matters. I have no interest in these disgusting affairs!"

Having said that, she turned her back to Audrey and packed her makeup bag, seemingly not interested in wasting any more words with the latter. She was preserving her dignity through her work.

It was evident from the phone screen that Dakota was crying. She was merely suppressing herself, not allowing a sound to escape.

Audrey chuckled, finally adopting a condescending attitude as she scornfully said, "Actually, it doesn't matter even if you're with Josiah just for the money. After all, it's merely a relationship he's using to heal his wounds. But other than that, I hope you won't cover things that don't belong to you. Even if he ever made you any extravagant promises, it was just... out of spite. The reason I've invited you here this time is also to show you the disparity between you and this family."

Wow, how could she even say that? Is she deluding herself, thinking that everything Josiah does is for her? Is she really that confident? If she's so confident, why is she causing trouble for others? Dakota is such a poor thing, being caught up between these two lunatics. Alexander also seemed somewhat displeased. It seems like Audrey's doing all this because she notices Josiah's growing affection for Dakota. She doesn't want others to have something she doesn't want, huh? Or is it that she thinks Josiah can only belong to her and must belong to her?

Dakota seemingly had decided to ignore these repulsive individuals, so she didn't utter a word.

Presumably feeling that her goal had been achieved, Audrey didn't dwell on the topic arty longer. She straightforwardly said, "Oh, right, I'm done with my makeup. My cousin will be coming to get hers done as well, I hope you're ready for her." Someone else is commina?

Chapter 209 A Marriage Alliance

Finished

Isabella and Alexander exchanged glances, attempting to communicate through subtle eye signals. They were, after all, currently in a situation where they didn't want others to witness..

Alexander suggested to retreat.

Isabella hesitated for a moment but soon heard Audrey's footsteps. It seems like she's coming out: guess that's all to this drama

The two immediately departed from the scene.

Upon returning safely to the lobby on the first floor, Isabella was about to look for the Quirks when she got pulled to a corner by Alexander.

Isabella was feeling balled when she noticed Alexander staring at her, somewhat awkwardly tapping his own lips.

She was taken aback, unable to comprehend Alexander's intentions for a moment.

He gave his lips another tap.

A strange expression slowly crept up Isabella's face.

He can't possibly want me to kiss him, can he?

Alexander froze.

The Quirks, who were astonished after witnessing Dakota being bullied by Josiah and Audrey, were so emotionally shaken upon hearing that inner thought.

Huh? What? Since when did Alex finally come to his senses? He's making such rapid progress!

But isn't there supposed to be some kind of buildup? He suddenly wants a kiss out of nowhere?

Should we go take a peek? It seems like it's just around the corner.

No, no, how can we peek at something like this? We'd be interrupting them.

They blamed Isabella for making them so hooked on gossip that they even wanted a piece of the action in such matters.

So... have they kissed?

Isabella's inner thought suddenly interrupted: Oh, I know now, it's my lipstick. He's reminding me that I haven't dealt with the excuse I've given to come upstairs just now. That scared me! What was I thinking? Why did I think of kissing? Alexander's face flushed, feeling somewhat helpless. It seems like she's become jumpy ever since I confessed to her.

The Quirks, who had been eavesdropping, let out a sigh collectively at that moment.

They knew their wish wouldn't be achieved that quickly!

Isabella pulled out a compact cosmetic mirror and gave her lips a quick wipe to touch up. Then, she returned to the wine tasting party with Alexander.

Wed,

Chapter 209 A Marriage Alliance

The entrance of Alexander and Isabella instantly captured everyone's attention.

Finished

Alexander's exceptional appearance and status had always made him the center of attention. This time, Isabella was no longer a nobody either. Her appearance on the variety show had significantly boosted her popularity. Even without a wedding ceremony, people could easily recognize who she was,

Realization instantly dawned upon the crowd when they saw her with Alexander. That explains why the actress who had stirred up a storm in the entertainment industry was protected by the third child of the Quirk family. It turns out that she's his sister-in-law. No wonder... Some of us were affected by various matters at that time, and couldn't resolve the problems no matter how they tried to use their connections. So, it turns out she's the wife of a prominent family. It's no wonder no one could compete with that. Also, there were rumors at the get-together not too long ago. It was said that the couple has a strong bond and even teamed up to fend off a homewrecker trying to disrupt their relationship.

Oh well. I admit defeat. But I heard that this Justice Upholder is quite eccentric. I wonder if she really knows metaphysics, or if it's just a fabricated persona.

Humans were naturally curious and loved to gossip. If they were well-acquainted, they would certainly want to ask questions.

Isabella and Alexander had long grown accustomed to the sea of varying gazes. With all the gossip they had picked up, they returned to where the Quirks were.

Unexpectedly, Noah and Lorelei were still there, evidently attaching great importance to the Quirks.

However, the Quirks didn't really need such warm hospitality. They were hoping they could privately gossip about the host, but they were feeling stifled since they couldn't.

Just as the two were about to sit down, they noticed someone waving at them from a nearby table. It was Alexander's group of friends.

The two headed over, only to realize that Josiah wasn't around.

Isabella was eager to replace out where Josiah was. She was genuinely intrigued about what would unfold next. -whether or not the two would cross paths at the wine tasting event that day.

Upon a quick glance, she spotted Josiah trudging toward her, his head downcast. A young woman, brimming with enthusiasm, was persistently clinging to him, attempting to hook her arm through his. However, a sudden phone call came in for her, and after she took it, she left.

Before Isabella could even satisfy her curiosity, Josiah took a seat. Clifford, on the other hand, chuckled and said, "Why do both of you brothers intend to marry into the same family? Isn't she Audrey's cousin?"

A marriage alliance? Between Josiah and Audrey's cousin?
