"I really don't appreciate what you just said. It seems like you're not here to back Aunt Greta up, but rather to play the mediator for Uncle Niel. Did the Zimmer family bribe you, or are you actually closer to Uncle Niel than you are to Aunt Greta?" Isabella appeared confused as she questioned, "As Aunt Greta's best friend, shouldn't you be helping her knock some sense into this cheating scum? Why are you suddenly urging her to forgive and forget?"
Tears truly fell from Yasmine's eyes this time. "What's the matter with you? I came with good intentions to mediate. One can destroy anything but a marriage. What about my actions displeases you? My parents divorced, so I naturally know the pain of a broken family." Isabella was flabbergasted. Did she really have the audacity to say she would rather destroy anything else over a marriage?
Yasmine was the kind of person who could cry easily. When she did, she always cried her eyes out, making a scene which stirred empathy in anyone who saw her. It was as if she had been truly wronged by others. Isabella found herself wishing she could rush over to Niel and offer him some much-needed comfort.
Lancelot also appeared to be in a state of urgency.
"Why are you giving her a hard time when she's just trying to help? Are you deliberately causing trouble?" Lancelot said angrily. He might not dare to confront his elders, but he surely wouldn't back down to his peers.
Such a kind and gentle soul was reduced to tears by Isabella's harsh words. How vile must her tongue be! Just as he was about to give her a piece of his mind, he was met with a gaze so intense it was almost suffocating.
In an instant, Alexander cast a cold glance at Lancelot. "My wife wasn't causing trouble. She was speaking up for Aunt Greta, unlike you, her son! Raising you is worse than raising a dog. At least a dog will loyally protect its owner unconditionally!" It was rare for Alexander to speak so bluntly about someone, which indicated he was genuinely upset.
There could have been many reasons, but everyone sensed that the most significant one was because of Isabella. When someone scolded Isabella, he lost his calm demeanor.
For some reason, Alexander's family found themselves wanting to smile in relief at the sight before them. If it wasn't for Isabella, they probably wouldn't see Alexander express himself so vividly, nor speak with such warmth in their entire lives.
However, the situation was rather inappropriate. The way Alexander scolded Lancelot was so harsh because he even compared his cousin to a dog. Even if he disregarded their blood ties, he should have considered Greta. After all, Lancelot was her son, and Alexander should have saved her some dignity.
However, the other relatives maintained their indifferent expressions. In reality, they had long since wanted to voice their criticisms.
Lancelot had only met Alexander a few times. After all, Alexander never visited Yrinas, and Lancelot spent most of his time abroad. They would occasionally cross paths in the city where Alexander resided. Even though they weren't clos ancelot had a cance of Alexander's temperament In the nact Alexander had

always been somewhat aldof and unapproachable. His speech was always cool and unhurried, which made others only dare to watch him from a distance.
Later, his reputation became widely known, and he was frequently mentioned among the Zimmer family. They often spoke of him as an impressive cousin, predicting that the Quirk family's influence would likely grow even stronger in the future.
Hence, Lancelot always held an inexplicable sense of reverence and admiration for him.
Previously, when Lancelot heard that Alexander was tricked into marriage, he was extremely angry and even scolded the person who tricked Alexander into marriage.
And now, to think that Alexander was actually scolding him for that person?
Hearing such a scolding for the first time, Lancelot was taken aback. His face flushed red in an instant, and his eyes shimmered with an aggrieved glint of tears.
"It was clearly her...
"Sigh, I meant no harm, I just found it peculiar," Isabella claimed innocently, before swiftly adding with a chuckle, "Why so sensitive?"
The look in Isabella's eyes instantly startled Lancelot. She seemed as if she had seen through something. He began to question whether his reactions was indeed overly sensitive. After all, with guilt in his heart, it felt as if he was walking a tightrope on a cliff, always worried about being found out.
It was rather unfortunate that Yasmine was too kind-hearted. She was afraid that she might ruin his parents' marriage and it troubled her conscience. She wanted to come over and dissuade them, and she would rather be the despised mistress than let his mother be heartbroken. Naturally, Lancelot wanted to protect such a person who couldn't bear to hurt others. After all, Yasmine was the one he enjoyed spending time with the most.
"All right, it was all a misunderstanding, there's no need to discuss irrelevant matters anymore. I promise, I'll leave the marriage with nothing," Niel said.
