Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander)

Chapter 120 The Gossip Ended Up Turning Back On Them

Upon hearing this, Ruth stiffened, her face instantly turning pale.

Without hesitation, Alexander gave them a sharp look and said, "Ms. Jeannet is free to live her life however she pleases. It's not up to an outsider to lecture her about right and wrong.

At this point, the directors couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines, as they could distinctly tell that Alexander was genuinely furious.

"Accusing Ms. Jeannet of defending the mistress could cause such significant damage to her reputation. It seems we need to consult a lawyer and have a serious discussion with you, Mrs. Gonzales. We hope that you can provide solid evidence to prove that Ms. Jeannet i The final remark nearly caused Ruth to lose her footing, but she was steadied by the director.

This wasn't what she had anticipated. She had thought that if she revealed how Isabella was defending the other woman, at the very least, Alexander would inquire about the reasons and give Isabella a lecture. However, she never expected Alexander to react in such a wa Moreover, their manner of speaking as a married couple was so similar. Just a while ago, Isabella had also asked her for evidence that Rebecca was the mistress.

From a distance, Rosalie exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this is the first time I've heard Alex speak so confrontationally."

Selena was taken aback for a moment, but she couldn't help but start laughing.

"What's wrong?" Rosalie asked, looking at her mother in confusion.

Selena said, "I feel like Alex has changed somehow. It's clear that Bella could have easily taken control and counterattacked. Normally, Alex wouldn't interfere in such situations, but this time... he suddenly lost his cool"

After some thought, Rosalie asked, "Didn't Alex used to stand up for Bella too?"

Selena chuckled, refraining from further comment. While Alexander was the type to protect his wife out of duty, he wouldn't usually react as he did now. As soon

as someone made a move, he immediately responded, striking a fatal blow and leaving no room for the opponent to retaliate against Isabella.

That was a protective instinct that came from deep within, and it had nothing to do with responsibility.

Not to mention them, even the assistant who followed Alexander around every day was somewhat surprised.

After hearing Alexander's statement, anyone who would still object would either be insane or a fool. Despite her feelings of injustice and unwillingness, Ruth had to come to terms with the situation. In the end, it was the director who accompanied her in formally apologizing However, Alexander still didn't show the other party any courtesy. He simply stated, "If Such comments continue to spread in the future and affect Ms. Jeannet, we will pursue it to the end."

After saying what needed to be said, there was no need for further conversation. Alexander turned to

at him intently, Alexander's reflection clearly visible in her striking black-and-white eyes.

Confused, Alexander then heard the roar of Isabella's inner turmoil.

Darn it, he got me! His authoritative quotes were so impressive, they completely swept me off my feet.

The icy frost lingering on Alexander's face instantly melted away, his cheeks flushing warm in an instant. What was initially a normal situation, became embarrassingly awkward after Isabella made a jest of it.

As expected, when it came to ruining the mood, Isabella was indeed a professional.

Alexander lightly patted Isabella's shoulder, prompting Isabella to stand up.

Alexander had his assistant accept the compensation offered by the other party. After all, it was an unexpected windfall for Isabella.

The rest of the people, who were intimidated by Alexander's presence, were frozen in place, too frightened to move.

As they approached the entrance, Alexander paused and turned toward the VIP seating area. "Mother, Rosalie."

Both Selena and Rosalie thought that Alexander hadn't noticed them.

The two awkwardly removed their sunglasses and exchanged greetings.

Isabella however, was taken aback, clearly unaware that they had arrived..

This development left everyone else in shock. The band of wives had no idea when Selena and Rosalie had arrived. All they knew was that they had arrived earlier than Alexander, and they must have heard their harsh words toward Isabella. This was akin to being caught red-handed, which was far more unsettling than being reported.

However, their previous lack of support for Isabella could suggest that their relationships as in-laws weren't actually that good. Perhaps, the instances where they were unkind to Isabella might not be remembered...

As they were consumed by unease, they saw Selena and Rosalie leave their seats, rushing over with enthusiasm. Alexander automatically made space for them. Selena and Rosalie then affectionately took Isabella's arms, one on each side. "When did you guys get here? Why didn't you call me?"

"Well, isn't this quite the spectacle right off the bat. I'm really curious about who has the clout to boss my dear Bella around."

"Bella, Bella, we were just about to make a grand entrance, but Alex interrupted us."

"What? You guys were planning to steal the show too!"

Three women were quite the spectacle, their laughter and chatter never ceasing. Meanwhile, Alexander dutifully assisted them by opening doors and leading the way. 12:09 Sun, Oct 6

The individuals remaining in the lounge were naturally ashen-faced, merely praying that the gifts they sent held enough significance to appease the other party's anger.

The director didn't give Ruth face, he simply sent her away immediately.

The other four wives also left in disarray, following suit. When they reached the main entrance, they couldn't help but voice their complaints to Ruih. "Enough. This is merely an accident. Even if they seek revenge, it's me they'll have to deal with. All this noise, don't you still want to suppress. Rebecca?" "So what do you suggest we do? The plan you've been thinking of is definitely off the table now. We can't risk running into trouble again."

Ruth's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint. "I don't need them, I can make that minx the scorn of the online community on my own."

Meanwhile, Danielle, who had just taken over the work related to Isabella's files, received an unexpected phone call that caused her eyebrows to raise.

"Ms. Yancey, are you asking for my help? Do you want to join our studio? These terms you're offering, they seem to be at your disadvantage."

Meanwhile, Isabella and the others headed back to the CEO's office, considering it was almost time to clock out. They planned to head home together once Alexander finished up his pending work. Hence, the trio found themselves seated on the elongated office couch, engaged in an animated discussion about the recent gossip, while simultaneously unwrapping the apology gifts that had been delivered.

Though everyone in the Quirk family was by no means short of money, they inexplicably found joy in this situation, and were incredibly excited.

Alexander had just settled himself in front of his desk when his touch accidentally grazed the mouse, causing the computer screen to light up.

His gaze swept across the room, lingered for a moment, then settled on Isabella, who was engrossed in a game of guessing the price of the jewels with Selena and Rosalie.

"Isabella, come here," Alexander said in a nonchalant tone.

Isabella assumed she was being asked for help, so she happily went over.

"What's up?"

Alexander pointed at the screen.

Upon turning her head, Isabella's smile froze.

Darn, I actually forgot.

The corners of Alexander's mouth twitched slightly, a hint of melancholy in his eyes. "Reply this," he said.

Puzzled, Isabella asked, "Huh?"

Let me rebly? What am I supposed to say? Does he not realize this is an email from his ex? That can't be right, it's easy

Selena and Rosalie, who were unwrapping the gifts, paused.

What's going on? An ex? An email?

family didn't know much about Eleanor. They only knew that Alexander had been in a relationship during his university years, since Alexander had never brought this girlfriend of his home. They had barely heard her name from Alexander, and they'd never seen him act o They had always had complete faith in Alexander, thus they never paid much attention to his love life. To their surprise, by the time they heard about it, he had already broken up with Eleanor. What baffled them more was that Alexander didn't seem upset at all, leaving then Recent news of Eleanor were because of Hannah.

No matter how you looked at it, the other party should have known that Alexander was married. Yet, they still sent Alexander an email. And to make things worse, Isabella saw it. This was a surefire recipe for domestic drama.

The progress in their relationship, painstakingly achieved by Alexander despite injuring his hand, simply couldn't be sabotaged!

The two of them froze, sneaking glances while pricking up their ears to listen.

Isabella found herself inexplicably feeling as though she had stepped into a battleground. She was at a loss for how she should react.

Swallowing hard, she cautiously said, "All right, tell me what to say, and I'll relay it for you."

Alexander glanced at Isabella. "It's not about relaying my message, it's about your reply."

Isabella's pupils quaked.

The gossip is turning in on me? What kind of game is this? You're going to fry my brain. She wants to meet you in two. weeks. How am I supposed to respond? ""Reply... what?"

With a piercing gaze, Alexander said, "Didn't you guess who sent the email? As my wife, don't you know what you should respond?"
