Chapter 267 Supporter Of Our Relationship.

At this point, Ruby couldn't hold it together anymore, asking. "Do you think I'm unattractive, Alex?"

Isabella snorted inwardly. My goodness! Damien is as sly as a fax, but how is it that this girl is so foolish as to humiliate herself continuously? Good grief! I suddenly feel its good that Deborah and Damien aren't meant to be. Such a sister-in-law would be difficult to deal with as normal conversation seems beyond her comprehension.

Although it appeared as though Alexander had carefully contemplated his choice of words, what came out of his warm mouth was nothing but frosty. "You look like something mass-produced, lacking any uniqueness. As an artist, without distinguishability, you lose your greatest value. The way you speak and express yourself has become incredibly unnatural. You need not waste your time preparing for this project. The most fundamental requirement we have for actors is a natural face."

Isabella laughed to herself. Oh my! Alexander has a real knack for upsetting young ladies.

Sure enough, the very next moment, Ruby ran out, tears streaming down her face in distress.

Alexander was somewhat at a loss for words, having merely stated the facts straightforwardly without intending to belittle or insult anyone.

"Ruby!" Oliver was shocked, his gaze instantly turning fierce. "Alexander, it seems you no longer care, about respecting anyone from our Winters family, do you?"

"Is she a member of the Winters family?" Isabella immediately exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't her last name Willis?"

Oliver was taken aback, probably agitated. With an air of fearlessness to offend anyone, he blurted out, "Are you wishing to be taken off my engagement party guest list?"

Isabella couldn't help but comment inwardly. Wow! There he is, the epitome of a spoiled and arrogant brat. Did he think his threats would amount to anything? Such a character who can't grasp the situation is doomed to be cannon fodder! As expected, Alexander's expression darkened after Oliver finished his ruthless act.

"My invitation was delivered by a messenger from Mdm. Lydia. Since you don't seem thrilled about us attending, Mr. Oliver, I suppose I'll give her a call later.

Damien hadn't passed on the invitation, nor did Deborah deliver it. Instead, it came directly from Lydia-as a gesture of respect for each other's standing, from the perspective of two corporate groups, and represented the highest form of courtesy. Had she learned that Oliver was here making a scene, Lydia would have personally brought him to apologize and invite them to the engagement party. One could only conclude that some people were not fitto inherit the family business for a reason. Oliver froze, his face a myriad of colors, akin to a painter's palette. Eventually, he stiffly retracted the harsh words he had previously uttered, saying, "Attend if you wish." He lost his nerve, quickly scurrying away affer speaking, practically a walking joke. Naturally, the couple felt no need to bother themselves with such a buffoon and went ahead with their plan to buy gifts.

"All right," Alexander replied as he drove.

"I'm already feeling repulsed on behalf of Deborah for her ending up with such a fiancé," Isabella complained. "Since he doesn't care about his fiancée, why did he agree in the first place? I thought this brat would be rebellious." ""He's very r

rebellious towards others but never dared to oppose Mdm. Lydia," Alexander explained. "Moreover, Deborah was the one Mdm. Lydia took a liking to."

This was new gossip to Isabella, who immediately turned to look at Alexander curiously. "Go on," she urged.

"The reason is that Deborah's character is sufficiently steady. She's not a troublemaker. Marrying her could, at best, help Oliver mature a bit, and at worst, she wouldn't make a scene due to his misdeeds. Plus, Mdm. Lydia knows their marriage is more of an alliance of mutual benefit, so it isn't like they are wasting Deborah's time. It's the best kind of partnership. She doesn't expect Deborah to help manage her son's family business and won't interfere with her freedom. As long as they can live peacefully and continue the family line, that's enough," Alexander explained.

Isabella remarked, "It looks like they will have a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship."

"Mám. Lydia is quite sensible, much like Deborah in character. They lay everything out in the open," Alexander commented. "The marriage negotiation went smoothly, and they seemed to enjoy each other's. company. As long as Mdm. Lydia is in charge, I don't foresee any hardships in Deborah's future."

Isabella drew a mental conclusion. So, even if Damien were to take over in the future, Deborah would still be protected. How interesting. However, the most fascinating part is Oliver and Ruby's relationship.

Alexander was taken aback. What relationship? However, seeing the two of them show up together did surprise me. After all, Damien and Oliver are on bad terms, so I'd assumed that Oliver would also have a distaste for Ruby. I didn't expect Oliver to show up here for Ruby's career prospects. Wait a minute. It seems weird that he skipped the small gathering of the two families to accompany Ruby here.

Just as Alexander was deep in thought, his phone rang. He told Isabella to answer it.

Upon seeing the incoming call, Isabella immediately felt awkward and asked, "Seeing as you just bullied his little sister, could he be calling to confront you about it?"

Alexander was momentarily stunned before chuckling. "Don't worry, he won't."

Isabella answered the call skeptically, only to hear Damien's exasperated tone on the other end. "Ruby just called me in tears and complained a whole lot. I was confused. Why did you call her ugly? Sure, getting plastic surgery isn't great, but she did it to look more attractive. You've learned to treat your wife well, so why are you still so cold-hearted toward other women Where's your gentlemanly demeanor?"

Everyone could see that, despite sharing the same mother, Damien had inherited the good looks of the Winters family, while Ruby had only inherited the plain appearance of her father's side. Hence, her family wouldn't object to her getting plastic surgery. "It's me, Isabella said.

Damien chuckled, saying jokingly, "How could I forget Nowadays, Alexander might not be the only person answering his phone. My apologies. I should've asked first. Did you guys run into my sister together? She didn't offend you, did she?" 10:50 Sat, Oct 12 Bw.

It was apparent the awkwardness from their last encounter was no longer present and back to being graceful and casual.

"You guessed it right." Isabella stated directly.

"It's not hard to guess. I'll be honest with you, my sister had a secret crush on your husband. He rejected her once ages ago, but she's not one to give up easily. I even suspect that her continuous cosmetic surgeries might be because she still has feelings for your husband. But of course, rest assured, I have no intentions of bringing them together," Damien said.

Puzzled, Isabella asked, "When you two met, I wasn't his wife yet. I can't believe you hadn't considered. keeping the benefits within your family."

"I thought about it, but I'm not blind or stupid. Although she's my sister, unless she's reborn and completely changes her appearance, mind, and character, there's no way she could ever be a match for Alexander." Due to his fair understanding of Alexander, Damien never considered playing matchmaker for his sister. Even if he had to endure her complaints, he wouldn't do such a thankless and foolish task.

Isabella was at a loss for words. I completely forgot that this guy used to be a shipper of Alexander and Eleanor and now only supports him.

Her thoughts amused Alexander. Uh... perhaps he's now a supporter of our relationship.

Seeing that Damien was open-minded, Isabella told him everything that happened earlier.

The tattle left him in silence for a long time.

The issue of Ruby offending them was no longer a big deal.

When Damien spoke again, he had already suppressed his anger. "So, you're saying that Ruby was auditioning for the female lead role. I can't believe she went and became an artist without telling us. Moreover, Oliver skipped our two families' gathering to take her there." Isabella remarked sarcastically, "You truly don't know anything, do you? Well, do you know..."

Recalling the scene she had witnessed, she voiced her suspicions in the manner of stirring up trouble. "Something seems to be going on with those two, as I saw Oliver with his arm around her waist, even touching her thigh."

Those two cousins are already on bad terms, with Deborah in the middle. Now there's also Damien's sister being taken by Oliver as a lover. This news is exciting! Isabella chuckled inwardly. Wait a minute! Does this count as wrecking their engagement party? Uhh... could it be so mystical?
