    Upon hearing this, Ruth stiffened, her face instantly turning pale.


    Without hesitation, Alexander gave them a sharp look and


    said, “Ms. Jea is free to live her life however she pleases. It’s not up to an outsider to lecture her about right and wrong.


    At this point, the directors couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spines, as they could distinctly tell that Alexander was genuinely furious.


    “using Ms. Jea of defending the mistress could cause such significant damage to her reputation. It seems we need to consult awyer and have


    The final remark nearly caused Ruth to lose her footing, but she was steadied by the director.


    This wasn’t what she had anticipated. She had thought that if she revealed how Isabe was defending the other woman, at the very least, Alexander wo


    Moreover, their manner of speaking as a married couple was so simr. Just a


    while ago, Isabe had also asked her for evidence that Reba was the mistress.


    From a distance, Rosalie eximed in surprise, “Wow, this is the first time I’ve heard Alex speak so confrontationally.”


    Selena was taken aback for a moment, but she couldn’t help but startughing.


    “What’s wrong?” Rosalie asked, looking at her mother in confusion.


    Selena said, “I feel like Alex has changed somehow. It’s clear that Be could have easily taken control and counterattacked. Normally, Alex


    wouldn’t interfere in such situations, but this time… he suddenly lost his


    cool”


    After some thought, Rosalie asked, “Didn’t Alex used to stand up for Be too?”


    Selena chuckled, refraining from furtherment. While Alexander was the type to protect his wife out of duty, he wouldn’t usually react as he did now. A


    as someone made a move, he immediately responded, striking a fatal blow and leaving no room for the opponent to retaliate against Isabe.


    That was a protective instinct that came from deep within, and it had nothing to do with responsibility.


    Not to mention them, even the assistant who followed Alexander around every day was somewhat surprised.


    After hearing Alexander’s statement, anyone who would still object would either be insane or a fool. Despite her feelings of injustice and unwillingness, R


    However, Alexander still didn’t show the other party any courtesy. He simply stated, “If Suchments continue to spread in the future and affect Ms. Je


    After saying what needed to be said, there was no need for further conversation. Alexander turned to

    at him intently, Alexander’s reflection clearly visible in her striking ck–and–white eyes.


    Confused, Alexander then heard the roar of Isabe’s inner turmoil.


    Darn it, he got me! His authoritative quotes were so impressive, theypletely swept me off my feet.


    The icy frost lingering on Alexander’s face instantly melted away, his cheeks flushing warm in an instant.


    What was initially a normal situation, became embarrassingly awkward after Isabe made a jest of it.


    As expected, when it came to ruining the mood, Isabe was indeed a professional.


    Alexander lightly patted Isabe’s shoulder, prompting Isabe to stand up.

    Alexander had his assistant ept thepensation offered by the other party. After all, it was an unexpected windfall for Isabe.


    The rest of the people, who were intimidated by Alexander’s presence, were frozen in ce, too frightened to move.


    As they approached the entrance, Alexander paused and turned toward the VIP seating area. “Mother, Rosalie.”


    Both Selena and Rosalie thought that Alexander hadn’t noticed them.


    The two awkwardly removed their sunsses and exchanged greetings.


    Isabe however, was taken aback, clearly unaware that they had arrived..


    This development left everyone else in shock. The band of wives had no idea when Selena and Rosalie had arrived. All they knew was that they had arr


    they must have heard their harsh words toward Isabe.


    This was akin to being caught red–handed, which was far more unsettling than being reported.


    However, their previousck of support for Isabe could suggest that their rtionships as in–


    laws weren’t actually that good. Perhaps, the instances where they were unkind to Isabe might not be remembered…


    As they were consumed by unease, they saw Selena and Rosalie leave their seats, rushing over with enthusiasm. Alexander automatically made space


    “When did you guys get here? Why didn’t you call me?”


    “Well, isn’t this quite the spectacle right off the bat. I’m really curious about who has the clout to boss my dear Be around.”


    “Be, Be, we were just about to make a grand entrance, but Alex interrupted us.”


    “What? You guys were nning to steal the show too!”


    Three women were quite the spectacle, theirughter and chatter never ceasing. Meanwhile, Alexander dutifully assisted them by opening doors and lea

    The individuals remaining in the lounge were naturally ashen–


    faced, merely praying that the gifts they sent held enough significance to appease the other party’s anger.


    The director didn’t give Ruth face, he simply sent her away immediately.


    The other four wives also left in disarray, following suit. When they reached the main entrance, they couldn’t help but voice theirints to Ruih.


    “Enough. This is merely an ident. Even if they seek revenge, it’s me they’ll have to deal with. All this noise, don’t you still want to suppress. Reba?


    “So what do you suggest we do? The n you’ve been thinking of is definitely off the table now. We can’t risk running into trouble again.”

    Ruth’s eyes shed with a ruthless glint. “I don’t need them, I can make that minx the scorn of the onlinemunity on my own.”


    Meanwhile, Danielle, who had just taken over the work rted to Isabe’s files, received an unexpected phone call that caused her eyebrows to raise.


    “Ms. Yancey, are you asking for my help? Do you want to join our studio? These terms you’re offering, they seem to be at your disadvantage.”


    Meanwhile, Isabe and the others headed back to the CEO’s office, considering it was almost time to clock out. They nned to head home together o


    Hence, the trio found themselves seated on the elongated office couch, engaged in an animated discussion about the recent gossip, while simultaneous


    Though everyone in the Quirk family was by no means short of money, they inexplicably found joy in this situation, and were incredibly excited.


    Alexander had just settled himself in front of his desk when his touch identally grazed the mouse, causing theputer screen to light up.


    His gaze swept across the room, lingered for a moment, then settled


    on Isabe, who was engrossed in a game of guessing the price of the jewels with Selena and Rosalie.


    “Isabe,e here,” Alexander said in a nonchnt tone.


    Isabe assumed she was being asked for help, so she happily went over.


    “What’s up?”


    Alexander pointed at the screen.


    Upon turning her head, Isabe’s smile froze.


    Darn, I actually forgot.


    The corners of Alexander’s mouth twitched slightly, a hint of mncholy in his eyes. “Reply this,” he said.


    Puzzled, Isabe asked, “Huh?”


    Let me rebly? What am I supposed to say? Does he not realize this is an email from his ex? That can’t be right, it’s easy

    The progress in their rtionship, painstakingly achieved by Alexander despite injuring his hand, simply couldn’t be sabotaged!


    The two of them froze, sneaking nces while pricking up their ears to listen.


    Isabe found herself inexplicably feeling as though she had stepped into a battleground. She was at a loss for how she should react.


    Swallowing hard, she cautiously said, “All right, tell me what to say, and I’ll ry it for you.”


    Alexander nced at Isabe. “It’s not about rying my message, it’s about your reply.”


    Isabe’s pupils quaked.

    With a piercing gaze, Alexander said, “Didn’t you guess who sent the email? As my wife, don’t you know what you should respond?”
