Alexander had never paid attention to those rumors before, so naturally, he was unaware. However, since they had brought it up in such an irritating manner, which piqued Isabella's curiosity, he felt obligated to set the record straight.
Everyone had seen that photograph, and naturally, they had heard the story behind it as well.
In truth. Roland had already completely believed Alexander's words. Although it was somewhat hard for him to say as it was too hurtful, it was indeed Eleanor and her group who had caused the trouble first. If Alexander did not protect those he cared about now, he wouldn't be Alexander. After all, the Quirk family was known to protect their own.
There was no denying Alexander now considered Isabella someone he deeply cared about.
"They said you were running a fever, so delirious that you were desperate to see Eleanor. In your confusion, you went to find her but couldn't reach her, so you ended up waiting under a streetlight until Eleanor found out and came to find you."
Once Roland finished speaking, the panic on Eleanor's face was clearly evident.
When others had asked her, she had shyly accepted without denial. This was something they had all witnessed, so they had always assumed....
Meanwhile, the corners of Alexander's mouth had already begun to twitch,
"I think I remember now. It was the night of Christmas when you went to the hospital and didn't return until the next night. Moreover, you came back with Eleanor while still having a fever." Aiden, as a roommate, couldn't help but state the facts, although he believed Alexander's words.
After hearing Aiden's words, something seemed to click in Alexander's mind. He suddenly furrowed his brows and looked at Isabella. For a moment, Alexander was at a loss for words
Isabella blinked her eyes. Why are you looking at me like that? It couldn't possibly have anything to do with me, rightt
With a sigh. Alexander began, "Do you remember when you were fifteen and fainted on your very first day at my house, landing you in the hospital? It was on Christmas Day," Naturally, everyone present knew about the Quirk family adopting Isabella when she was fifteen due to the passing of her parents, leaving her an orphan.
Isabella was of course aware of the original host's memories. However, when faced with Alexander's recollections, Isabella felt somewhat awkward and could only nod, "I think so."
Alexander turned his head and explained, "That day, our parents were very worried, so they asked all of us. siblings to keep them company at the hospital. That's why I spent a whole day there. When I returned the next night, I didn't go to find Eleanor. I was just on my way back to the dormitory when I bumped into her. As for standing under the streetlight, it was because... I was just lost in thought."
Now, Alexander remembered the reason he had been standing so long in the snowy night was because he had been thinking about Isabella.
That day, Isabella had awoken on the hospital bed and suddenly said to them, "I'm sorry, and thank you

At that time, Isabella's expression was inscrutable to him. Even when Isabella mentioned that she was tired and wanted to close her eyes to sleep, he felt as if, for a moment, half of his heart had been hollowed out.
It wasn't until the next day when Isabella woke up that her energy seemed restored. However, Isabella's sudden frequent gazes at him inexplicably made him very uncomfortable. Thus, he made an excuse and returned to school.
"I was just lost in thought for too long, which led to the fever afterward. It wasn't that I had a fever and then went to the hospital," Alexander stated calmly. "If you need to verify the truth, there's evidence available for all to see.
"Alexander.." Eleanor was dumbstruck. She couldn't believe that Alexander could be so cold and ruthless, Knowing that she had made it all up, did he really not care at all about their past friendship? Did he really have to expose her on the spot like that? Even if he didn't love her, there was still the bond from years of companionship, right?
Finally. Eleanor could no longer hold back her resentment. She even wanted to confront Alexander but was silenced by his icy gaze.
"Just one photo at the start, while the rest of the story was all made up? Even marketing accounts can't pull off such stunts!" Suddenly, Isabella's voice rang out. Although it was just a minor complaint, it added fuel
to the fire.
This caused the previously tranquil scene to instantly erupt into chaos.
What a major twist this was!
Isabella realized that she had been so engrossed in watching the drama unfold that she inadvertently let something slip. She instantly clamped her mouth shut. After all, in such a situation, if she were to intervene further, she would become a participant and subject to attack. She much preferred to observe from the sidelines.
Had it not been for Alexander's intervention, Isabella would likely have taken a seat by now, leisurely eating while watching the drama unfold.
can't believe it! Everything was a sham!"
"Wow, all right. So, online celebrity couples are fake, and real-life couples are also fake. Don't NPC's lives. matter too? Where is the beautiful love I believe in!"
"I'm really starting to believe in the saying Public displays of affection can lead to a quick breakup!TM
"Now I truly understand the meaning of shooting oneself in the foot. They were a couple living peacefully, but then Eleanor came back and stirred up trouble and ended up hurting herself in the process."
"This is hilarious! Just a moment ago, Lily was saying that the one who isn't loved is the homewrecker. Now who's the homewrecker?"
Tsk, sk, what a thorough shocker this was. I can almost see the horror on the faces of countless fans as their favorite couple is torn apart right before their eyes.
The overwhelming chatter had already caused Eleanor to tremble all over.
Lily was even paler now, turning her gaze to Eleanor. "Is it true what he said? Your past love was all a lie!

Eleanor's lips trembled as she realized there was no future with Alexander for her and that her image was about to crumble. She knew she had to mitigate the damage immediately. Suddenly, Eleanor seemed to break down, admitting. "Yes, I did it."
saw that
you
She looked at Alexander and said, "Back then, even though you agreed to be in a relationship with me, you were always so distant. What could I do? I loved you, so I had to deceive myself. As a result, everyone started to believe in our love even more. I was being pushed forward, and I had no choice. I didn't clarify anything, so I assumed you had accepted it. But now you're contradicting me, utterly humiliating me in public. Why are you so cruel to me? I mistakenly thought you were just slow to show your feelings, that you actually wanted me in your heart. I even worried that you would suffer because of my illness, that you would waste your time waiting for me, so I painfully broke up... I finally came back, yet how could you... treat me like this. By the end, she was sobbing.
This heartfelt confession gradually silenced everyone. They stared at Eleanor, momentarily at a loss for sarcastic remarks.
"Saying such things face-to-face is indeed a bit too hurtfull"
"Eleanor was merely a victim of misplaced sincerity. It's rather pitiful. She fell ill and left, yet clung onto à single belief to return and see Alexander. But what she heard upon her return was heart-wrenching. Just thinking about it hurts."
"Actually, I can understand. After all, there were rumors that Isabella's ascension was not legitimate. Eleanor's return to test the waters and reclaim her one true love... isn't entirely unforgivable, is it? She probably didn't expect the young couple to be doing so well! If I hadn't come today and seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either!"
If I didn't know the truth, I'd honestly feel sorry for Eleanor too! Seriously, whether you're a marketer or an actor, once you're in the industry, you'll definitely be considered top talent! But at this point, I can't just stand by and watch her turn the tables. Maybe / should start questioning her health first, then ask her to prove it. If she doesn't dare to prove it, wouldn't that mean she's lying?
However, before Isabella could take action, Alexander once again took the lead. There was no way he would let Isabella risk being attacked, even if there was a chance of success.
"I remember now. Before you went abroad, you participated in our class's medical check-up event, which was arranged at a private hospital under Quirk Group. Because you were my girlfriend back then, someone showed me your medical report... It seemed like there was nothing wrong then. What, did you suddenly gain an illness within those two days?"
The freshly fabricated lie instantly drained all color from Eleanor's face.
Had something like that happened?
Why couldn't she remember? Back then, she was extremely busy, overwhelmed with countless matters.
But seeing how composed Alexander was, could it really be true?
It was all over....
