Eleanor looked at Alexander in disbelief.

Everyone else was stunned. Even if it was Alexander was the CEO of Quirk Group, he couldn't possibly have such far-reaching influence abroad, could he? "Alexander, you're really looking into this." Even the usually composed Damien was taken aback. Is he really not letting go of this Surely, it can't be in teriont
After all, based on the trend just now, whether it was true or false, Eleanor was certain that the only information Alexander could gather would be that she had stayed at the nursing home. Eleanor was not foolish enough to lie about this.
Such a risky test was not Alexander's style at all. It was too impulsive. What if he couldn't get an answer, or worse, what if the answer was as Eleanor had said? Then he would have made a fool out of himself.
Was Alexander even concerned about maintaining his own dignity?
Isabella looked at Alexander, confusion evident in her gaze. She, too, thought his approach was impulsive. Wasn't this indirectly confirming Eleanor's assertions?
Isabella's mind was racing, once again lost in a whirlwind of wild thoughts.
Could it be that he truly believes Eleanor was lying, hence his attitude toward her? Now, he seems so desperate to verify the truth, and then....
Upon hearing her thoughts, Alexander immediately shot her an annoyed glance.
"Let's wait till the call comes before saying more, Alexander voiced out, clearly dissatisfied.
Seeing that his expression was off, Isabella stopped letting her thoughts run wild.
In truth, he really shouldn't have used such an offensive approach. Given his character, he never engaged in matters he wasn't certain about.
It was just that Eleanor had just attempted to ensnare him with her deep affection, let alone her veiled. attempts to drag Isabella into the fray as a point of comparison. If she had her way, by the end of the get-together tonight, rumors would be circulating about Eleanor's profound feelings for him and Isabella's selfish rise to the position of his wife.
How could he possibly stand by and let Eleanor deal with Isabella, knowing the direction things were heading?
The atmosphere remained awkward.
Eleanor hadn't expected that Alexander would actually doubt her to this extent and was feeling utterly heartbroken.
At that moment, she finally came to her senses, no longer indulging in fantasies. The truth was, Alexander had never loved her, and now, he was not even sparing her the slightest bit of courtesy.
Eleanor bit her lower lip, consumed by resentment. Let him ask, then, if Alexander were to inquire if I ever lived there, it would only serve to validate my story even more.

The Smith family had already returned to their homeland, dejected and defeated. If she didn't maintain a good image, it wouldn't benefit the family at all. A woman full of deep affection was always better than a woman who was two-faced and deceitful. Hence, this was not just about her personal reputation, but it also pertained to the outward image of her family
When the time came, Alexander would surely feel guilty toward her. Perhaps, even if there had never been love in the past, under the weight of guilt, she might still have a chance! She refused to believe that she would lose to kabella, a mindless woman whose family background was practically non-existent. Quickly, Alexander's phone rang. Although they felt it wouldn't make much of a difference, everyone still waited for an outcome, their curiosity drawing their gaze.
Alexander immediately switched to speaker mode.
From the other end, the sound of a customer service agent speaking in a foreign language could be heard.
Although it wasn't Uprian, a good number of people present could understand it.
At first. Isabella thought she couldn't understand and was feeling frustrated that she couldn't get the first-hand scoop. However, to her surprise, she comprehended it once the words entered her ears
The thrill of this moment almost overshadowed the excitement of indulging in gossip.
After all, for someone who was terrible at Uprian, the sudden ability to understand other foreign languages fluently was as miraculous as lighting up a skill icon.
However, it was quite peculiar. Inheriting memories was one thing, but inheriting skills? That was unheard
of
No matter what, getting to hear gossip was the priority. Thanks to the original body, she got a foreign language skill for free..
"Hello, Mr. Quirk," the voice on the other end of the line began. "This is the General Services Department of Astoria's Grace Nursing Home. How may we assist you?"
"I have a friend..." Alexander began slowly, his fluent and pleasant foreign language elegant and composed.
THE
The time has come Eleanor instinctively held her breath, recalling for a moment to ensure there wouldn't be any issues, then waited for Alexander to ask his question.
"Who has contracted a rare disease and is hoping to be admitted to your esteemed institution."
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Weren't you going to ask if Eleanor had ever lived there? What kind of questioning method is this?
On the other end of the phone, the staff member politely inquired about the patient's personal details.
Alexander concocted a tale about a friend from back home.
Everyone was stunned as they listened to him speak so convincingly.

Then, they heard the other party respond apologetically. "I'm sorry, Mr. Quirk, but our establishment ha certain niles. We only cater to aristocrats from Astoria. We are unable to accommodate other patients" Upon hearing these words. Alexander's intent gaze finally softened.
Among these people, the first to react was Roland, who was a police officer. He immediately turned hist gaze toward Eleanor
Eleanor also seemed to realize something, her eyes gradually widening. Her pupils contracted, her lips trembling, but it was too late to stop Alexander
Suddenly, Alexander's voice dropped, sounding displeased as he spoke to the service staff on the other end. of the phone. "A Ms. Smith was a patient at your establishment for a few years I heard it from her, and as far as I know, she still holds our country's citizenship. That's why I wanted to send my friend there. And now you're telling me it's not possible? I believe your director should provide me with a satisfactory
response
Although the nursing home was of a high standard, it would not easily offend those individuals who held a status significant enough to be internationally recognized.
The service staff, already aware of Alexander's identity from earlier, immediately began to explain.
Although it was not permissible to disclose the medical details of the patients, sharing other types of information was not a major issue. After all, their fame was so widespread that it was quite normal to know who had stayed there before.
"Mr. Quirk, I believe I can clarify this matter. There's no need to trouble the director. Ms. Smith did. indeed stay with us for a few years, but she was not a patient here, nor did she receive any treatment. She was merely accompanying someone. Our institution has never hosted any patients from your esteemed country. We have always strictly adhered to...
By then, everyone couldn't bear to listen any longer as the truth had already come out.
She wasn't a patient there for treatment; she was merely residing there to accompany a patient. That meant she was there to care for the patient, wasn't she?
"D"mn! She really was lying!"
"My goodness, how could she be so full of lies!"
"Hold on, that person said the patients inside are all aristocrats. I haven't heard of any connections between the Smith family and foreign nobility. Why would the esteemed young lady of the Smith family do such a thing?"
"Such a situation... it's reminiscent of a similar scandal that happened abroad. It involved her... taking care of her fiance's mother. It was quite infamous!"
"So, are you saying... they planned to form a marriage alliance with foreign nobility, and that's why she visited the nursing home to win over the patient?" "I think that's it!"
Why did she come back then?"
"She must have failed, and that's why she wanted to rekindle her old flame as soon as she came back,

Dear gotopers, you're discovered the truth!

Because the news was so sensational, everyone was discussing it with such fervor that their voices became uncontrollable Naturally, Isabella heard it
The color drained from Eleanors fare, and she looked almost like a corpse
After all the end of this phone call signified that she was truly and utterly finished.
There was no longer any chance for explanations or turning things around.
Everyone had already started to criticize her harshly, with the skandalous news about her being leaked
through phones
So she was merely treating Alexander as a rebound and settling for second best? Has she lost her mind?"
"If it weren't for Alexander's intelligence, he would have been unfairly vilified by now, even if he wasn't the backup plan. Her scheming is just too intense
"What a show that was Eleanor really knows how to perform!"
The crux of the matter is that she was always the instigator. Had she paused for a moment during any of her schemes earlier, her true nature wouldn't have been exposed. All I can say is, she wouldn't have met her downfall if she hadn't courted disaster!" How dreadful. It's your misfortune for having crossed Alexander.
Before Eleanor could even process what was happening, a sharp slap echoed, drowning out all other
