Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 274 On Their Way To Catch Them
Hearing Isabella's inner thoughts, the Quirks were dumbfounded.
What? Oliver is setting a trap to frame his fiancée and Damien? Finished
They couldn't comprehend why Oliver would pull such a stunt. Has he grown so disdainful of Damien that he's willing to use his fiancée as a pawn in his scheme?
However, this indirectly confirmed one thing-Oliver had no idea Damien had feelings for Deborah: otherwise, he wouldn't have planned it this way.
Alexander's expression was extremely grim, as he could foresee the deeper intentions of those people.
"It's strange. Deborah just messaged saying that she'll be coming over. Why is she taking so long to change her clothes?" Elaine kept checking her phone as she was eager to gossip with Deborah about Oliver's slick
maneuver.
After all, Deborah really didn't enjoy being in the media spotlight.
The others were also waiting for Damien to arrive, but up until now, there was no sign of him.
Meanwhile, Isabella was in a state of utter disarray. Time was of the essence, and she couldn't afford to find a suitable excuse. She grabbed Alexander and hastily said, "I'm feeling a little dizzy. Accompany me to rest for a while." Suddenly, Alexander's phone lit up.
He glanced at his phone screen while simultaneously cooperating with Isabella, and almost instantaneously, his pupils constricted and he hurriedly answered the call.
"Help..."
A feeble voice sounded from the other end, but before the sentence could be completed, it seemed like
phone on the other side had dropped.

Seeing the couple running purposefully toward the east, the Quirks, despite feeling nervous, breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them gathered at a corner for a discussion and decided to stay put for the time being, thinking they might be of use later on. They figured the crowd was out to catch Damien and Deborah red-handed, so they should stay at the scene to keep an eye on Oliver and those reporters.
The trio couldn't help but glance at Ava in the distance, who was chatting and laughing with others, with Ruby by her side.
They couldn't help but curse inwardly, wondering what kind of mother she was and how unlucky Damien was to have her as his mother.
Hurry, the break room in the east corridor, the third one... the third one.... We need an excuse to barge in.
Isabella was anxiously muttering to herself in her mind
Suddenly, Alexander's voice rang out. "Bella, something's happened to Damien and Deborah. They're in

Isabella was still racking her brains for an excuse to enter that room when she heard those words. Instantly. she was overjoyed.
flow, that's impressive! I thought for sure Mrs. Hillis would slip Damien something potent. I can't believe he could withstand it and even call for help!
While she was lost in thought, she arrived at the third break room.
Surprisingly, the door was not locked, perhaps left that way to aid in catching infidelity in the act. With at twist of the handle, it opened.
As the door swung open, a stifled growl echoed from within.
Isabella and Alexander shared a glance and rushed inside.
As soon as they entered and assessed the situation, they heaved a sigh of relief. Deborah was lying on the bed, safe and sound. Other than her clothes a little disheveled, nothing else had happened.
Damien, contrarily, was curled up on the ground. There was a shattered vase lying beside him, his hand clutching a fragment of the broken vase, Its sharp edges had cut his palm, and fresh blood was flowing out.
He was using pain to curb his impulses and maintain his sanity..
Upon witnessing that gruesome sight, Isabella found herself somewhat admiring Damien.
He manages to hold himself back even in such a situation, huh? He's truly the ultimate coward, no doubt.
Alexander stepped forward to pick Damien up and dragged him to the bathroom. Then, he used cold water to calm him down.
Isabella, on the other hand, attempted to awaken Deborah, but the latter was in a blur of consciousness. She could tell the latter wouldn't wake up that easily.
"Alexander, what should we do? Call the police? Or summon an ambulance?" asked Isabella.
Alexander was about to reply when Damien, who had somewhat regained his senses, said, "No, that'll be too conspicuous. It'll be no different from exposing ourselves. They'll think there's something even if we did nothing. We can't let their schemes succeed." Noticing the indescribable agony on Damien's face, Alexander responded, "I'll call for a private doctor to handle this discreetly. We must move locations now..."
Before he could finish speaking. Isabella's inner voice was heard screaming.
Oh no, they're on their way to catch them red-handed. What should we do?
At this point, it was supposedly time to announce the heir outside. Lydia had been waiting for Damien for quite a while without any signs of him. She also tried reaching out to him but to no avail either. Lydia frowned, instructing someone to go find him.
However, Oliver suddenly came up to the Carneys, who were sharing a table with Lydia, and asked, "Where's Deborah? I can't find her, nor can I reach her, I was still planning to introduce her to my friends.
The Carneys were perplexed as they hadn't seen Deborah for quite some time.

Right then, a soft feminine voice suddenly whispered. I think I saw Damien following Deborah to the break room just now. Are they discussing something in the room? But it seems like they've been in there for quite a while."
The one speaking was none other than Ruby. Her statement, seemingly speculative, instantly sparked a wave of gossip among some.
What could possibly warrant a private conversation between Damien and his future sister-in-law?
Then. Ava gave Ruby a gentle tug and spoke urgently. "What nonsense are you spouting? Damien isn't even close with her."
This evasive tone only served to fuel people's imaginations even more.
Oliver's face darkened instantly, and he turned around to leave without hesitation.
Following his departure, the group of entertainment reporters, masquerading as guests, immediately stood up in excitement.
Lydia's expression changed, sensing something was amiss. She immediately stepped forward to stop Oliver, saying, "Deborah is resting upstairs. Oh, right, Oliver, I've assigned some tasks to Damien. He probably hasn't finished yet, so could you go and help him?" She wasn't exactly sure what had transpired, but she wasn't foolish and figured sontething must've gone wrong. She knew it was crucial not to make a scene in such situations.
Nevertheless, the moment Oliver shrugged off her, she instantly understood that everything was likely tied to him. At once, her face paled drastically.
Oliver, however, had already eagerly led a grand procession down the corridor.
The crowd around, unaware of the truth, watched the flurry of activity with subtly nuanced expressions on
their faces.
"What's going on? More gossip?"
"Of course! Isabella is there today!"
"Shall we go take a look, too?"
"Judging by the looks of it, it seems like they're catching somebody red-handed!"
Some people followed the crowd, while others engaged in heated discussions. Indeed, Isabella's presence had ignited everyone's enthusiasm to gossip. While they might not have acted like this in the past, they now desired to be at the frontlines to savor gossip. Seeing that scene, the small group was taken aback. They could only hear fits and starts about how Damien and Deborah had been subjected to suspicions.
"Is Oliver out of his mind? What would possibly happen between the two?" Elaine exclaimed in disbelief.
"Something's not right. It could be a setup." Roland stood up, and only then did a realization strike him. Alexander and Isabella..."
"They said they were going to rest. Could it be that there really is some juicy gossip?" Aiden asked in

astonishment.
Ines, too, was taken aback, covering her mouth in surprise.
Roland, however, inexplicably felt somewhat relieved. If they're around, there shouldn't be any major problems."
As he spoke, he found himself ridiculous, wondering how he had become so superstitious to believe in metaphysics.
That said, they couldn't help feeling worried. In their view, there was no way Deborah and Damien would be in a secret affair, but if they were, they were most likely framed. Considering Oliver's strange arrangement of inviting the reporters, they immediately went after the
rest.
