SWNOVELS Chapter Gossip 239
Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 239 No Need To Be Afraid Of The Gossip Queen
Daphne's declaration of divorce caused a commotion among the Ford and Brown families.
Finished
The Browns, known for their strong sense of justice, naturally stood up for their own family when they saw Daphne make such a statement, especially since Roland didn't oppose it.
The Fords panicked. In the business world, their business acumen wasn't top-notch. They had connections because of the Browns' ties to the military, which allowed them to open new avenues. Otherwise, with the Fords' original foundation, they wouldn't be able to reach their current level.
They didn't have a genius successor like Alexander who could turn the tide.
So they didn't dare to sever ties with the Browns.
They rushed forward to persuade, using old, familiar lines of reasoning.
After all, to many, what's so unusual about having a mistress and an illegitimate child? Some even thought Owen was pretty decent. He had always treated Daphne well, only kept one mistress, and had one illegitimate child. His private life was considered clean.
L
To be honest, in the families present, three out of five men were not faithful to their marriages.
In the upper echelons, those who stayed loyal to their marriages were the minority.
Of course, it was rare to see an illegitimate child cause such a huge scandal. Daphne's decision to divorce in anger was understandable..
Thus, the Fords began to push Owen forward to apologize, even if it meant losing face in front of the guests to win Daphne's heart back. Daphne had made up her mind and ignored them, even calling soldiers from her family and her son's police colleagues to drive them away.
In the end, the Fords were unable to endure the humiliation and had to leave.
Owen and the butler were also driven out, with Owen's phone ringing non-stop.
Through Isabella's inner thoughts, the Quirk family knew that the caller was the mistress abroad.
Ethan had complained to the mistress, and she still held emotional sway over Owen. Now, Owen wanted to smash his phone when he saw the caller ID.
Seeing Owen's embarrassed state, the guests wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate.
Once the eyesore left, the hosts began to orderly arrange for the guests' departure.
Daphne and Roland apologized to each guest.
As they left, people continued to excitedly discuss the day's scandal.
It was clear the high society circle was about to be shaken again, though Isabella probably didn't expect to be dragged into it once more.

before the wedding."

"Apparently, Roland found the surveillance video first, and then Daphne got suspicious after seeing it. She caught them in the act."
"Roland didn't suspect anything before, did he? Why would he investigate Sasha?"
"Someone must have shown it to him. He seemed normal before the wedding."
"Come to think of it, I've seen Mr. and Mrs. Quirk with Roland quite a bit..."
"Do you mean Alexander and that..."
"Yes, that one..."
"Why is it her again? She was at the Locke family's incident last time, and she was close to the involved parties too."
"Must be a coincidence. They're Alexander's friends, after all. Naturally, they will be here."
"No, no, the Justice Upholder knows metaphysics."
So, if you attend events with her, you'll get to witness high society scandals?"
"You think Mrs. Quirk is a walking scandal magnet? Wherever she goes, there's gossip?"
"Well, I just want to know what event she's attending next. Watching scandals unfold live is quite thrilling.
"As long as she doesn't attend my family's events, I'm fine. I'd be scared."
"If you have a clear conscience, what do you have to fear from the Gossip Queen? Unless your f
"Go away...
your family..."
Just as Isabella was about to leave, she felt a prickly sensation, as if many people were watching her, making her uneasy.
At this moment, Alexander's friends couldn't help but exclaim.
Clifford frowned, "Isabella, be honest, is there some metaphysics force around you?"
He was starting to think his bad luck with Zendaya might be related to Isabella, given that Zendaya was her
fan.
Not that he cared about Zendaya, but her playing hard to get was annoying. She was just a substitute and should cooperate obediently. Even if she was dissatisfied, he couldn't give her what she wanted. He allowed. her to stay by his side. Wasn't that enough? Isabella had no time to figure out Clifford's convoluted thoughts, or she would have certainly ridiculed
him.
"This time, it was Alexander who investigated the problem, not me." Isabella quickly deflected the blame. Alexander nodded in agreement.

"Didn't you want to see a dog and then stumbled upon the illegitimate child issue?" Ines laughed heartily.
The others didn't overthink like Clifford, merely finding Isabella prone to encountering juicy gossip and joked about it.
Normally, with their good friend Roland going through such an ordeal, they shouldn't be so cheerful, but strictly speaking, this was good for Roland. Plus, after Josiah and Audrey's incident, they were somewhat desensitized and enjoyed the spectacle.
"Do you both break up a couple at every event you attend?" Aiden immediately turned to Deborah. "Deborah, be careful. Your engagement party is next."
Deborah shrugged nonchalantly. "If a couple can be broken up, it means there were problems to begin with. This kind of check is good for emergency avoidance. But I think we'll be fine. It's a loveless arranged marriage. He's quite the player, and we're just cooperating." It was the first time Deborah spoke about her marriage.
Isabella had seen it before. It was purely a business arrangement with each doing their own thing. Deborah didn't play around, but her partner did extensively. With no feelings involved, there was no talk of hurt.
L
Every time Deborah spoke, Isabella habitually glanced at Damien's reaction.
It was hard to suppress the gossip gene, especially when knowing someone secretly liked another within. their circle, unbeknownst to others.
As expected, Damien indeed gave a quick glance at Deborah with a complex expression. He then smiled and teased Aiden, "Why not mention your father's wedding?"
Aiden immediately turned to Isabella and expressed his wish, "You must come and ruin my dad's wedding."
Ines gave Aiden a playful slap.
Aiden innocently said, "You wouldn't want your future mother-in-law to be the same age as you, would you?"
One could only say that Aiden's father changed wives far too often. So often, in fact, that it had become numbing. It had gotten to the point where Aiden suspect his father was collecting wedding gifts through constant weddings.
Each time he remarried, it caused chaos and unrest at home, prompting Aiden to stay abroad. Several times, he and Ines planned to return to get married but were thwarted by his father's romantic escapades. The only silver lining was that his father couldn't have more illegitimate children, likely due to physical limitations.
Everyone had been laughing and chatting for a while when Roland arrived. In the presence of his close friends, he didn't bother to hide his exhaustion, which was evident in his eyes.
