Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 219 Kindly Return The Money Within Three Days.
#Finished
For a married woman, being asked by her husband to love her parents take her back home was quite a humiliating experience.
Audrey tried to make a last-ditch effort. Little did she expect she would hear such harsh words from Caleb. Immediately, she looked at Calels in terror. She never thought that her little scheme from years ago would be figured out. Indeed, Caleb was not as easily deceived as Josiah.
Audrey's complexion had turned a ghastly pale, an unsettling shade even worse than that of a person who had been dead for days. Aside from the tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes, she was unable to utter a single word. She was even struggling to breathe. In the end, she fainted.
And with that, chaos ensued at the scene.
My goodness, has she truly fainted, or is she just pretending? She really fainted! Well, some people are truly amusing They can't bear the consequences of their own wicked deeds when they come back to bite them. How can they harm others so nonchalantly? The Quirk family all shook their heads, simply stating that it was a well deserved punishment.
George and Helen rushed forward to help their daughter up, crying out in alarm. They turned to seek help from Caleb, but when they saw Caleb's complete indifference, they knew all hope was lost.
Meanwhile, Noah and Lorelei hadn't yet recovered from the shocking revelation. Exhausted both physically and emotionally, they no longer cared about salvaging their prestigious family dignity. Even more so, they didn't want to deal with this daughter-in-law who had caused them to lose all face anymore.
Josiah was even more incapable of concerning himself with others, as he was already too flustered to make heads or tails of the situation.
In the end, George and Helen left the Hampton manor in a crestfallen manner, taking Audrey with them.
Everyone in the know understood that the divorce was inevitable once they stepped out the door.
Just like that, the wine tasting party was disrupted. Caleb managed to gracefully arrange for the guests to depart, giving each one a bottle of fine wine as a parting gift to smooth over the shock.
Although the Hampton family had been thoroughly humiliated, everyone was still quite pleased with how Caleb handled the situation. Having a successor like him wouldn't greatly impact the Hampton family's standing even if they were seen as a laughingstock. As the Quirk family was preparing to leave, Caleb offered them wine and asked, "May I know why?"
This left the Quirk family in an awkward position. Although others were unaware, it was impossible for Caleb to be completely oblivious. A simple investigation would reveal that they were the ones behind the
video.
't stand Audrey
Just as Alexander was about to speak, he heard Isabella pay. "It's me, it's me who bullying people. Dakota and I are friends. Besides, someone has to start the trouble for things to escalate

The Quirk family naturally sided with Isabella. If Caleb were to cause trouble, they were ready to sever ties with him in the future. They were just that stubborn.
Alexander found himself glancing sideways at Isabella, who stood before him as though ready to shield him from harm, prepared to shoulder any burden that came their way. He couldn't help but let a smirk play at the corners of his lips.
Most of Caleb's interactions with Alexander had been in a business setting. This was the first time he had seen this side of Alexander. As he noticed the faint trace of a lipstick mark on Alexander's check, a hint of envy appeared in Caleb's eyes. He felt he understood why now,
Originally, the question was asked out of genuine curiosity. In prestigious families, who would be so tactless as to expose something directly? Typically, to avoid offending others, they would pretend to turn a blind eye. The interests of a nobody were usually casually sacrificed.
However, the Quirk family were unnecessarily complicating things, truly... a rather interesting family. Yet. doing business with such people meant one could always rest easy,
Seeing the somewhat nervous Isabella, Caleb chuckled and said, "Justice Upholder, you are indeed
formidable."
Huh? Is he mocking me? But judging by his expression, it doesn't seem like it.
After shaking hands with Alexander, Caleb went off to attend to the other guests.
As the family stepped outside, they spotted Alexander's group of friends. It appeared that Roland was in the midst of discussing wedding plans, casually waiting for Alexander to chime in with his thoughts.
No sooner had they made their way over when the sound of a resounding slap echoed from the nearby
lawn.
Before everyone had a chance to turn toward the sound, the Quirk family heard Isabella's excited inner thoughts.
Great, I thought I wouldn't get to witness him groveling for forgiveness. Oh wait, it's more like he's already been burnt to ashes, hasn't het
The scene before had been too chaotic, and at some point, Dakota had simply vanished.
At that moment, she was about to leave but was stopped by Josiah.
Josiah's face was almost disfigured with that one slap. This was the first time the rebellious young master had been hit like this, leaving him completely stunned In disbelief, he turned to look at Dakota. "Did you just hit me?"
Dakota casually flicked her hand, saying coldly. "You had it coming.
Dakota's attitude toward Josiah seemed to have changed abruptly, a shift that Josiah found unbearable. Was this really the same woman who had once tread carefully around him, her heart full of hope for his love?
The sight of Dakota avoiding him ignited a spark of anger in Josiah. After all, he had always gained the upper hand in their relationship. However, when he saw Dakota about to walk away, he felt a momentary panic, humbly pleading with her to stay.

Is this a case of not realizing what you have until it is gone? How pathetic.
A Finished
Isabella expressed her disbelief, while the Quirk family looked on scornfully. Seeing Josiah in this state, Ceryone else couldn't help but show their disdain. Even Clifford, a man of his stature, couldn't bear to watch any longer.
However, it seemed that Josiah was genuinely terrified of losing Dakota. So much so, that even when he knew he was being watched by acquaintances in such an embarrassing situation, he simply didn't care.
He blocked Dakota's path. "Are you really breaking up with me?"
Dakota simply replied with a scoff,
"No, it can't be. You love me so much, you must have noticed, right? I love you too, I want to marry you. Everything before... it was my fault. I was just scared that after expressing my feelings, I would be met with deception again. I-I know I was wrong. But, you can't blame me for everything, can you? It was your love that spoiled me, made me reckless, thinking no matter what I did, you'd never leave me. You can't just abandon me after I've grown accustomed to this, can you? Can't I make up for the deceit of those two years with the rest of my life? Dakota, I truly love you. Please, can you give me another chance?" Josiah pleaded, tears unexpectedly streaming down his face.
Ugh... His lines are subpar and so cliched. Is he really trying to play the victim here? So, he committed wrongdoings because the other party was too kind? What kind of logic is that? But with all his sobbing. I hope Dakota won't swayed.
If it weren't for Isabella's cynical remarks, the Quirk family, like everyone else, would have been sighing over Josiah's confession.
However, with the added effect of Isabella's remarks, they found the situation rather amusing
But how would Dakota react upon hearing these words! After all, it was evident that Josiah had feelings for
Dakota.
Dakota was daydreaming, lost in her own thoughts. It was unclear what was going through her mind.
Josiah thought he had a chance, so he immediately spoke up. "As for her... it's all in the past now. At most, it was a matter of pride for me. I haven't had any feelings for her for a long time. She's my sister-in-law, it's impossible for there to be any lingering attachment between us. It was a one-sided decision."
Sigh, you're such a jerk, aren't you? Your words are always so manipulative. Isn't getting upset a sign of caring? Sure, you didn't do anything substantial, but there was a lot of emotional tug-of-war going on. I haven't forgotten the way you looked at her at the reunion. "Can we start over? If you're willing, I can immediately convince my family for us to get engaged, L..." Josiah reached out to grab Dakota's hand.
In the end, Dakota sidestepped, and when she lifted her gaze, all that remained was ruthlessness.
"I'll send you the bill later."
Josiah was taken aback. "What?"
The onlookers, who had been merely enjoying the spectacle, were stunned, taking a moment to process what had just happened.

"For the two years I've supported you, every penny I've spent on you, every transaction I've made, I'll calculate it all. I'll send you the bill, and I would like you to repay me within three days."
