ding Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 253 Shook Intensely Finished
As Elaine rose to leave. Isabella was left dumbfounded. Although Zendaya did catch Elaine's eye, it's rather odd for Elaine to be so concerned about someone she had only recently met.
After staring at Elaine's back for a moment, Alexander said, "Perhaps Elaine suspects that Zendaya is her half-sister from the same mother."
As soon as Alexander finished speaking, Isabella looked at him almost in terror.
She didn't expect him to know such a piece of well-hidden information when she hadn't shared it with him.
Alexander could tell what she was thinking based on her expression. Thus, he played a little trick and appeared as though he wanted to share some juicy gossip with Isabella, beckoning her to lean closer to
him.
Isabella's eyes sparkled instantly. After all, Alexander was an influential man. Logically, it wouldn't be difficult for him to replace out what he wanted to know. As such, Isabella thought perhaps Alexander had already been aware of certain gossip.
Isabella was glad not to be the only person who knew what was happening. Excitedly, she leaned in and Whispered, "Do you know something?"
Just as the two were about to speak. Ines, Aiden, and Deborah arrived at a spot near the two. They all engaged in conversation, intermittently interrupting labella and Alexander's private discussions.
In her eagerness to share the juicy gossip, Isabella immediately dragged Alexander into the water.
The two found a quiet corner by the swimming pool. Amidst the noise and commotion, they whispered to each other.
There were rumors that Elaine's current mother isn't her biological one. It's said that her real mother ran off with someone else. Given Zendaya's age, it seems plausible. I think she might have started to suspect something, which is why she's been paying so much attention to Zendaya," said Alexander.
Isabella's countenance brightened up. "If If they are really sisters, what do you think Elaine's attitude toward Zendaya would be?"
After some thought, Alexander said, "All I know is that Elaine is fiercely protective of those she cares about. Moreover, Zendaya lost her parents at a very young age.
The source of Elaine's resentment was gone, and not everyone enjoyed shifting their hatred onto others. At the very least, Elaine was a person who valued righteousness. However, to assert that Alexander was confident would be quite a stretch, considering his limited understanding of most people around him.
Isabella was quite distressed and couldn't help but use the system to check on how Zendaya was doing.
ing people again?
When she did she almost swore verbally. Clifford must be sick! Why is he cornering
The swimming pool was rippling with waves as a beach ball drifted over. Alexander deflected it, only to hear Isabella muttering curses in her mind. What did my buddy do again? 1/3

After taking her medicine and changing into her new work uniform, Zendaya was about to return to work when she was cornered in a deserted hallway.
Upon seeing Clifford, Zendaya was utterly exasperated. She had initially planned to pretend not to notice him and move on.
Just as she passed by, she was taken by surprise. Cliffor pressed her against the wall, his hand firmly gripping hers. "Zendaya, you've become quite bold! How dare you ignore me!" Zendaya was unable to break free. Exasperated, she said, "Mr. Clifford, the contract states that once the agreement is fulfilled, you shan't pester me anymore!"
That rule was originally imposed by Clifford to restrict Zendaya. However, Zendaya felt that it was Clifford who should really be adhering to the rule.
Clifford chuckled, pinching Zendaya's chin contemptuously. "You're so impressive today, aren't you? Picking fights with me at every turn. How long do you think I'll tolerate this?"
The edge of Zendaya's mouth twitched. Why did someone as nice as Elaine have a relationship with him?
Watching Zendaya fall silent, Clifford thought she had finally stopped her act. He took a deep breath, only to freeze when he saw Zendaya's downcast eyes and overall vibe.
That was the Zendaya he was familiar with, a very obedient and well-behaved wontan.
In reality, he genuinely missed how she used to be at his beck and call, always by his side.
Clifford gazed at Zendaya. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. It had been a long time since they last met. so he assumed she must have missed him too and wondered how many tears she had secretly shed.
If it weren't for Elaine, things between us would've still been as they used to be. Suddenly, Clifford was intensely shaken. Why did it have to be Elaine? When we met again earlier, even though I still have feelings for her, she was as infuriating as ever. Why should I subject myself to this torment? Surely, I'll be happier with someone who loves me wholeheartedly and is willing to compromise for me. Perhaps I should've chosen Zendaya instead of Elaine. Maybe Zendaya has become an entirely distinct entity from Elaine in my heart. "Zendaya, I understand what you're thinking. Actually, I... I'm in an emotional turmoil. Could you give me some time?" Clifford suddenly asked.
Regaining her senses, Zendaya was taken aback by the sudden request. It left her with an indescribable feeling of helplessness. "Mr. Clifford, you don't need time or be in a turmoil. As of now, we simply have no connection. I've never harbored any thoughts toward you, I swear on my life. Please step aside. I need to get back to work!"
If Clifford could believe that so easily, he wouldn't have been able to deceive himself for so long.
"Zendaya, I haven't kissed you yet, have I?" After saying that, Clifford leaned in, his eyes lowered as if he was about to prove something.
Zendaya was instantly filled with terror as she widened her eyes. She instinctively recoiled, wishing she could shrink into the wall. Before she could even swear she heard a voice coming from not too far away. "What's this? Staging a forceful kiss? Clifford, you really are becoming more audacious."
Upon hearing Elaine's voice, Clifford reacted almost instinctively, guiltily wrenching himself away from Zendaya.

Zendaya was shoved aside, stumbling back a few steps. Unable to hold herself back, she turned around and defiantly flipped both middle fingers at Clifford.
Of course, at that time, Clifford was too nervous facing Elaine to notice anything else. However, Elaine was amused by Zendaya's actions.
Elaine laughed, leaving Zendaya awkwardly at a loss for what to do.
After all, up until then, she couldn't be sure if she still had feelings for her ex.
"Why are you here?" Clifford's voice grew bolder as he spoke. "What I do is none of your business. You're not anyone to me anymore."
Meanwhile, Isabella, who was using the system, was-speechless. Even at this point, he still hadn't forgotten hit plan to use Zendaya to provoke Elaine. Just a moment ago, he claimed to be in emotional turmoil. I think he's just a playboy at heart.
As Alexander listened to Isabella's thoughts, he wasn't surprised by Clifford's actions. After all, that was something Clifford had been planning for years. Even if he was in love with someone else, Elaine was always his first choice,
Even if Elaine and Zendaya have feelings for Clifford, it'll just be a cliché scenario of him being tormented by his love pursuit. Right now, it seems like Clifford's the only one sticking to this storyline and even has the audacity to add more scenes for himself. Isabella frowned.
Meanwhile, Elaine didn't have the mood or patience to entertain Clifford's behavior at that moment. She brushed him off, saying, "Sure, whatever, could you please leave? I need to speak with Zendaya."
