Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander)

Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind

Chapter 242 The Unexpected Pool Party

Finished

Two hours later, Stephanie woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Roland watching over her. Ast her memories started to return, she immediately felt embarrassed and pulled up the blanket to cover her face.

Recalling the impulsive request she had made to Roland, she couldn't blame it all on the drugs as she was still somewhat rational at the time. If it had been Ethan, she would never have agreed. But it was Roland, and she had indulged herself. "Stephanic, are you okay?" Roland's voice came awkwardly from outside.

Stephanie buried herself under the covers like an ostrich for a while before mumbling, "I'm sorry."

With a slightly flushed face, Roland reassured her. "It's not your fault. You don't need to apologize. It was Ethan who drugged you."

"Thank you for saving me," Stephanie said gratefully, pulling the blanket down to pretend nothing had happened.

But as their eyes met, they both remembered the situation earlier. Added to that, Roland had a wound on his lip where Stephanie had bitten him.

In a swift motion, one of them retreated under the covers while the other turned away, hastily gathering various documents and placing them on the bedside table.

Roland cleared his throat before saying. "Regarding Ethan's crime, I have evidence of his drug purchase and can testify in this matter. But if we want to convict him fully, we'll need the video files from the camera as evidence. The decision is yours. However, it depends on the severity of the charges. If you want to destroy the video, I understand."

After all, it was a matter of respecting the victim's wishes.

Stephanie emerged from under the covers, pale-faced, Her gaze turned dark. "I want to sue him. I'm willing to provide any evidence. I want him to face the consequences he deserves."

With that, Stephanie hugged herself, trembling all over

Roland frowned and stepped forward to patted Stephanie on the shoulder. "Don't be afraid. I'll be with you."

The two victims would unite to hold this brute accountable.

"Th... thank... Stephanie looked up, but as their eyes met again, they both shyly looked away.

Later, the Nox family arrived upon hearing the news and joined Roland in handling the case.

A few days later, they heard that Ethan had been sentenced to prison and would be deported after serving his sentence. He might also face further charges abroad, but one thing was certain-he wouldn't escape punishment.

A week later, the storm in the Ford family gradually subsided.

There were no updates from Roland and Stephanie, so Isabella lost interest in following the gossip,

At this moment, Isabella arrived at Quirk Group with the sweets made by Selena and delivered them to Alexander.

Selena and Evian had been gossiping in front of her that a beautiful female business partner had recently been aggressively pursuing Alexander, but she didn't care. She was not here to assert her position as the official wife but was just curious about the situation. Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at the company, the receptionists' gazes toward her changed. Their exchanged glances were full of gossip. However, they still showed respect to Isabella, unlike before.

Passing by Alexander's office, on the way to the CEO's office, the assistants looked awkward at the sight of her and continuously glanced at the office, their implications clear.

Isabella thought, Oh, the home-wrecker is inside? Perfect timing.

Isabella was well-mannered and told the assistant to inform him of her arrival.

The assistant was taken aback. "Mr. Alexander left instructions that you can enter anytime when you're here."

Isabella blinked, feeling a slight warmth on her face. Approaching the office door, just as she was about to knock, voices from inside could be heard.

"I've delegated the task of hosting your team to a board member, as I dine with my wife every evening and don't have the time for socializing. If you feel this is a sign of disrespect toward your team, we can always opt not to collaborate."

"Mr. Alexander, you're so smart, surely you understand what I mean," a woman's voice had said. Her voice held a seductive lilt, as if she was trying to entice him.

"After stepping into this office, you still didn't get a good look?"

"It's just for show."

Isabella found herself somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

What on earth are they talking about?

There was a pause from inside, but the woman couldn't help but continue, "Mr. Alexander, I genuinely admire you and don't expect any status, I just want..."

"Then let me be clear. There is no woman in this world better than my wife. I only want my wife and have no interest in other women, so you don't need to waste your efforts."

Oh

wey. what is he saying? Haha... Turns out I'm so charming that this guy is completely enchanted.

Inside the office, the usually icy Alexander suddenly smiled, a hint of blush crossing his face. The sight stunned the woman before him.

Alexander paid no more attention to her. After all, his wife rarely visited, and today was a good day.

Alexander got up and walked to the door.

"By the way, about your project, I will notify your company to assign a new project coordinator. Quirk Group is willing to collaborate with your company, but the precondition is that you are not involved in the 2/5

The woman's face drastically changed. Even if I failed to seduce him, I surely didn't deserve his disdain. What kind of man is het

Little did she know, Alexander was very cautious about everything related to Isabella. Since Isabella had caught igh of them, he naturally had to distance himself cleanly, lest any him of suspicion might stick to his wife.

Isabella sighed at the domineering behavior of the CEO, but just then, the door in front suddenly opened, and she stumbled forward.

She could have regained her balance, but unfortunately, someone was too proactive and directly embraced her, making it look like Isabella had fallen into Alexander's arms.

Gentle laughter filled the air.

"Why are you here?"

His low voice, resonating from his chest, sent a jolt through Isabella's heart.

"Bringing you desserts on behalf of mom," Isabella said

Alexander let go of Isabella, pulling her into the office.

Isabella caught sight of the other woman, who was sexy and gorgeous, but she didn't say hello.

The woman had long since inquired about Isabella's identity and naturally knew what she looked like. However, upon seeing her in person, she was instantly struck by how much more beautiful Isabella was compared to her photos. Previously confident, she was taken aback by Isabella's unbothered stunning. features.

With Alexander's blunt dismissal, she could only leave crestfallen.

At that moment, Isabella had no interest in dealing with her, as she was taken aback by the office she hadn't visited in a long time.

Surprisingly, the places inside that were usually reserved for displaying famous paintings were now filled with her glamour shots, making it look like a talent manager's office.

She finally understood what the two had been talking about earlier.

The CEO's office was filled with her posters, so she was embarrassed and didn't know where to look.

What if other staff come in and see these... Ah, I can't even think about it.

Alexander knew what Isabella was looking at, but pretended to be calm. He took the dessert and led. Isabella to sit on the sofa, but actually, his ears were turning red.

This was certainly not for show. Alexander wanted to be able to see Isabella anytime. After all, in Quirk Group's artist management department and Isabella's own studio, one could casually see his wife's posters everywhere, so why not in his office?

If possible, he wanted Isabella to accompany him to work, but Isabella would definitely refuse, so he could only settle for second best.

This would also make everyone understand Isabella's status.

Finished

Isabella couldn't read Alexander's mind, so she pretended not to care about these posters to avoid putting herself in an awkward position by asking about them.

"Try some of Mom's cooking." Isabella said.

Alexander opened the box and looked at the golden yellow pastries. He was speechless.

"My mom is a kitchen killer. Do you remember that?"

Isabella smiled and said, "Rest assured, others have tried it. It's rare for her to succeed, so she asked me to bring it to you."

Dad and Callahan were fine after eating it. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel safe giving it to Alerander. Imagine if the CEO got food poisoning and had to be rushed to the hospital; it would be hilarious.

Alexander felt satisfied and started eating. It seemed his wife did care about him.

Despite the food being terrible, he couldn't waste the effort Selena had put into it. The two of them finished the meal together and took photos to report back to Selena.

On her end, Selena had already heard through David's informant that the saboteur had been thoroughly dealt with, so she was at ease.

After eating. Isabella didn't plan on leaving, and Alexander naturally wouldn't suggest it. He wanted Isabella to stay with him a little longer, so Isabella played on her phone while Alexander worked. After a while, Alexander's phone rang.

Seeing it was Clifford, he answered on speakerphone.

"Hey Christopher, free tonight? I'm hosting a pool party, and I'd like you and Isabella to come. It's at XX Club.

Alexander was taken aback. He usually didn't attend such events, and Clifford never invited him to these things. Why is Clifford acting strange today?

"Are you coming? Everyone else is. Ah, forget it. It's fine if you don't come, just Isabella is enough." Clifford sounded a bit impatient.

Frowning, Alexander felt Clifford had some ulterior motive. Despite wanting to refuse, he rarely got the chance to be with Isabella alone. Maybe they could have a private date tonight, but... "I'll ask Isabella.""

Respecting Isabella's opinion, Alexander turned his head to look at her.

Isabella blinked. She had never attended such a thing after coming here.

A pool party where everyone wears swimsuits? Isn't it a visual feast of handsome men and beautiful women?

Hearing her enthusiastic tone, Alexander felt his eyebrows twitch.

Indeed. Isabella was smiling mischievously. At this moment, he really wanted to decline.

Alexander in a swimsuit. Ooh, I'd like to see that. Maybe I ran touch those abs! Such a handsome man in the water.

Alexander's face flushed. Clifford was still urging on the phone..

"Are we... going?" Alexander's gaze wavered.

"Yes!" Isabella immediately answered.

Alexander coughed and replied to Clifford.

After the call, Isabella dragged Alexander to the mall to buy swimsuits.

On the other end, Clifford was urgently notifying others, hastily organizing the party. His friends in the group were puzzled by his odd behavior, but Clifford was too busy to notice.

Some even tagged Alexander and Isabella, wondering if they were really going.

As everyone was curious about Clifford's sudden decision to throw a party, Isabella investigated.

It turned out to be quite a revelation.

Unbelievable! Just because Zendaya has been ignoring him, he thinks she's playing hard to get. So, he plans to give her achance. When he found out she'd be working at this club all day today, he immediately arranged this party to casually show up in front of her. He'll hug another woman to make her sad then give her a chance to come back to him... Quite o drama. The reason he wants me to go is because he knows if Zendaya sees me, she'll definitely come over and greet me. He's using me as a tool, huh?

Hearing this, Alexander suddenly realized. This is a bit ridiculous. Does Clifford need to be embarrassed before he wakes up?

But it'll be interesting. Isabella started giggling in excitement.

She casually picked up a swimsuit from the pile.

Suddenly, Alexander coughed. "Are you choosing this one?"

In Isabella's hands was something that closely resembled a bikini. She blinked, realizing she hadn't gotten a clear look at it just

yet. So, she turned her head and asked, "Do you have any recommendations?"

She had never attended such a gathering before, hence she was naturally unsure about what would be considered appropriate. Then she saw Alexander's eyes turned to a childish style aside.

1 say, Alexander, your taste is too poor. Don't tell me you're recommending that style to your wife."

Suddenly, a woman's voice echoed from the entrance.

When the two of them turned to look, they saw a strikingly dressed woman standing at the door, a smile gracing her lips.
