Since Isabe had never met the person in question, she couldn’t form an opinion from their
perspective. At this, the Quirks also expressed great regret.
Linda, however, was still persistently trying to persuade.
“I can’t let that b*tch continue to bewitch Javier’s heart, she must be ruined! I’m not part of the
entertainment industry, so I can’t dig up any dirt on her, but a girl of her character surely hides many
unspeakable secrets. Look into it, expose her on stage, just like those before her. Also, let that
foolish woman, Freya, open her eyes wide! Let her see what kind of person she thinks is good, see
if she will continue to ignore my advice!” Linda spoke with such self–satisfaction that it left the Quirk
family speechless.
“Could it be that there’s no dirt on her because she simply has none?” Evian quietly questioned.
“The fact that she’s still daring to remain on this stage pretty much proves it.”
Unable to contain herself, Rosalie retorted, “Milm. Pearson, have you really not seen the previous
episodes? It was clearly your godson who wanted to win back Scarlett. Shouldn’t you be
discouraging your godson instead? Why do you always me the women who are simply reacting
to the situation? It’s clearly your precious boy’s fault!”
-Perhaps having seen too much, Rosalie really couldn’t stand the logic of these people. How could
they be
so infatuated with ment
Evie and Rosie are right.
The two girls immediately wore smug smiles, which left Linda flushed with frustration.
“I’m not going to waste my breath on you clueless kids! Selena, will you help me or not?” Linda
demanded.
The expression on Selena’s face turned cold. “My child is far more sensible than you.”
This remark had thoroughly offended Linda, who was so upset that she immediately stood up. Her
movement was so abrupt that her pearl ne swayed on her neck, instantly drawing everyone’s
attention.
Linda was just about tosh out when she noticed Selena staring intently at her ne. She
suddenly let out a cold, mockingugh. “Oh, I get it now. You’re just bitter because there are things
you can’tpete. with me on. So, you deliberately refuse to help. That’s quite petty of you, isn’t
it?”
As she spoke, Linda tilted her neck, attempting to unt her pearl ne from every possible
angle.
It could be said that within the circle of high societydies in this city, there were hardly a few who
could surpass her when it came to jewelry.
Watching Linda’s boastful demeanor, all the Quirk family wanted to do was scream–Please, stop
this horrifying disy. They really didn’t want to look any closer as they couldn’t help but imagine
things.
“Mdm Pearson, is this ne the only thing you have to show off?” Christopher was genuinely
afraid. that if he looked any longer, he might conjure up some bizarre image that would taint Ifis
mind.
Linda was taken aback, feeling both embarrassed and angry at being exposed. She retorted, “What
kind of manners is this? How were you raised by your family?”

Before Christopher could even retort, he heard Isabe say, “Exactly, Chris, youck manners.”
Instantly,
Christopher red at Isabe, and the rest of the Quirk family followed suit, turning their eyes on
her.
Linda, on the other hand, had started tough and was about to add a few more words. But Isabe
cut her off, saying. “We’re in public, what are you doing speaking so bluntly? Isn’t this like stepping
on Mdm. Pearson’s face? It’s quite presumptuous to point out others‘ shorings!”
In the end, Christopher couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. However, he quicklyposed himself,
his face serious as he conceded, “I apologize for my presumption.”
Upon looking again, the smiles on the faces of the other Quirk family members could no longer be
concealed.
It seemed as though Linda finally understood. The family had been treating her like a fool all along!
Instantly angered, she red at Isabe, “Don’t think that just because you’ve schemed your way
into the Quirk family, you’re truly thedy of the house. You’re nothing more than a poor wretch
without a dowry. How dare you be so rude? Just wait you—”
There were quite a few people in the room criticizing her, but the only one she dared to fight back
against was Isabe. Isabe was essentially without a family of her own. In the eyes of others, she
was entirely reliant on the Quirk family for survival, seen as an outsider who could be discarded at
any moment
Therefore, Linda chose to take advantage of the easy targets.
She didn’t notice, but the expressions of the Quirk family members had changed the moment she
uttered her first sentence.
Suddenly. Alexander interrupted, “Mdm. Pearson.”
His voice was deep,den with a chilling edge, a clear indication of the underlying anger buried
within his
words.

Linda was taken aback almost instantly by the icy tone, staring in surprise at the most exemry
heir of a prominent family ording to the public’s evaluation. With just one nce, she was
intimidated by his daunting gaze.
“Mdm. Pearson, you were rude and have offended my wife. You should apologize, Alexander stated
calmly.
Upon hearing these words, Linda waspletely dumbfounded. I’m the elder here, and I’ve been
an old acquaintance of his mother for many years. How could he speak to me like that!
Linda’s breath hitched; she turned to look at Selena, hoping she would discipline her child. The
oue was such that not only Selena, but also the other members of the Quirk family, stared at
her coldly. Their attitude clearly indicated a united front.
Linda simply couldn’tprehend. “All I did was reprimand a disrespectful junior. Given the
rtionship between our families, don’t I have the right to do so?”
“Be is our precious daughter–inw, whom both my wife and I couldn’t bear to scold. What right
do you have to reprimand her?” David countered.
Selena scoffed. “What’s so exceptional about the Pearson family? Return to your own house if you
wish to assert your dominance. Be is the future matriarch of our Quirk family!”

Christopher sneered, “Mdm. Pearson, it seems you may have misunderstood your standing. In our
family. Be’s status surpasses all my brothers and sisters.”
This was confirmed by the nods of both Evian and Rosalie, who were visibly seething with anger..
Isabe had been dumbstruck by the unfolding scene for some time now. It was just supposed to
be a simple argument, and I was ready to fight back. How did things escte to this point?
Yet despite the chaos, a wave of unfamiliar, warmth surged through her, aforting sensation she
had not known in her past life, akin to sinking into a mound of sun–warmed, plush cotton.
Under Linda’s gaze, filled with disbelief, Alexander’s face remained impassive, his voice ice cold as
he questioned, “Do you not intend to offer an apology, Mdm. Pearson?”
The frustration within Linda soared, poised tosh out, but then Alexander’s cold voice continued, “It
appears the Pearson family no longer desires the piece ofnd they have been coveting recently.”
This statement made Linda gasp in shock.
Post–divorce, herfortable lifestyle had beenrgely supported by the Pearsons.
She was well aware of the industry chatter about thend the Pearson family was after, and she
knew full well the influence the Quirk family wielded. If we lose thatnd because of my actions…
wouldn’t that be disastrous?
Linda’s response was hurried and flustered, “What are you implying? The Pearson family and your
maternal family have shared a close bond for generations! Would your grandparents approve if
they knew! you were threatening me, your elder?”
Alexander, opting not to engage further, cut straight to the point, “So, you’re not interested in
pursuing the hotel chain project anymore?”
The gravity of the situation was overwhelming, pressing down on Linda, making her tremble
uncontrobly.
Alexander gave her no opportunity for further debate: his expression was stern as he seemed
poised to take drastic action
Suddenly, they all heard Linda say, “I apologize, I apologize!”
Time was not a luxury she could afford, nor was she in a position to squander any further on this
conflict. She knew all too well that she had no other options left.
Alexander paused, giving her a piercing look.
To see a woman of her stature and age left breathless by such a confrontation, her humiliation was
palpable her eyes reddened as she bowed her head in the admission of her fault.
At that moment, she realized that her previous minor disagreements with Selena were trivial at
best, merely a contest of wills, never amounting to actual disrespect. She acknowledged, Perhaps if
I had resorted to the same disrespectful tone, I would have faced a simr predicament.
It dawned on her that the Pearson family was simply not on the same level as the understated yet
formidable Quirk family, who never needed to unt their considerable power and influence.

“I’m sorry! I misspoke,” she uttered through clenched teeth, and although it was difficult to admit,
she managed to express her apology before she turned to leave. But just before exiting, she
couldn’t resist adding, “Selena, we’re not friends anymore!”
Selena merely shrugged, her voice indifferent as she replied, “As if I consider her a friend.” After
expressing this, she quickly shifted her attention to Isabe, concerned that Linda’s remarks might
have upset her.
What she saw, however, was Isabe staring admiringly at Alexander.
Wow, seeing the domineering CEO up close, hismanding presence is truly awe–inspiring! He’s
absolutely dashing!
Despite his initial embarrassment at thepliment, Alexander found himself subtly pleased,
instinctively straightening his posture just as he was about to respond to Isabe when he
overheard….
He’s so attractive; I almost couldn’t stop myself from wanting to dash up and give him a passionate
kiss!
Alexander stiffened as his eyes met Isabe’s, his face flushing with heat
She wants to kiss me? But my family’s right here! But these are her thoughts. Oftentimes, people
act on impulse. The kiss might happen at any moment, and I.. don’t think I should avoid it.
This revtion caused the other Quirk family members to widen their eyes in anticipation, not
wanting to miss a moment of this unexpected turn of events.
What should I do? I’m so nervous; is it time to bear witness?
Ultimately, Isabe approached Alexander with a captivating smile that momentarily unsettled him.
“Thanks!” she eximed.
Alexander was puzzled.
Turning to face the others, she expressed her gratitude, “Thank you all for standing up for me.”
Her gossip–driven curiosity peaking, Isabe spected. “Since she’s hit a wall with us, do you
think she might try other maneuvers with Scarlett?”
The collective response was a resigned silence, a realization dawning that Isabe was all talk and
no
action.
A few dayster, Isabe and the others joined the production team and were present when they
announced the uing performance theme.
As soon as Isabe and her group arrived, Taylor and Riley immediately approached them.
Just as Isabe was bracing for a potential warning not to cause trouble, she saw Taylor grin and
announce, “There’s going to be some excitement soon; we’ll draw lots after watching.”
“What?” Danielle asked, intrigued.
Riley chuckled, “Mdm. Pearson’s son has just arrived, and he’s nning a surprise proposal for
Scarlett.”
