Even though Isabe had changed significantly, Christopher still vividly remembered the disastrous
state of thest get–together she went to with Alexander.
That was the first get–together Alexander and Isabe attended after they got their marriage
certificate.
As a married couple, even in name only, Alexander would always respect Isabe’s choice when it
came to attending social gatherings like reunions, where partners were generally expected to
apany.
Back then, Isabe became extremely neurotic due to the disapproval of their marriage by those
around them. She guarded against any of Alexander’s social interactions, let alone events like get–
togethers, where gossip was most likely to ur.
That time, Isabe went to assert her authority, and as one could imagine, the oue was
predictable.
Many of Alexander’s buddies had just returned from abroad that time. As soon as they returned,
they heard about the chaotic wedding. They were not fond of Isabe, who had orchestrated this
mess. involving their buddy. Although they didn’t say anything out of respect for Alexander, they
were not warm toward Isabe, maintaining only basic courtesy.
As always, Alexander maintained his naturally aloof demeanor. Isabe, unsure if she was just
overly sensitive, found herself unable to fit into such a setting and began to feel stifled.
As a result, someone inadvertently recalled a humorous incident from their university years and
said, “Back then, Eleanor-”
Perhaps it was a sudden realization that something was amiss. That person immediately held back,
expressing her apology. However, the next second, Isabe flew into a rage.
Not only did she stter wine all over that girl’s face, but she even pped the boy who came to
the girl’s defense. When someone stood up to scold her, she flipped the table, swearing profusely.
Alexander waspletely unable to stop her.
This incident naturally ruined the get–togetherpletely. Everyone was both embarrassed and
angry. Despite the Quirk family being protective of Alexander, he could only apologize in the face of
such a situation. He then promptly left the scene with Isabe.
However, when Isabe returned, she was so upset that she broke down in a big cry. She felt that
Alexander’s buddies simply looked down on her. She threw a tantrum inside the house, throwing
things all over the ce, causing the entire household to lose its peace.
Subsequent invitations to such get–togethers were all rejected by Alexander

This time, it was Rnd who took the initiative to send an invitation to the Quirk manor, specifically
for Isabe. Perhaps the recent incident had altered Rnd’s perception of Isabe, making this
invitation a
sincere one.
Thest get–together was so awkward. What exactly is Isabe thinking? Is she going to apologize
for what happenedst time? Is she going to try to get along better with Aler’s ex–ssmates?
Actually, Christopher wasn’t too concerned about those ssmates in general. Alexander’s group of
buddies were the ones worrying him. A couple of them had quite the temper, and given the
significant disagreement from theirst encounter, he wasn’t sure what to expect this time around.

Hence, Christopher couldn’t help but ask again. If he were Isabe, he would rather die than face
those
the fact it was a get–together made
people again. It wasn’t too bad dealing with individuals like Rnd, buld rather die than face those
it even worse. Just the thought of it was enough to make him cringe to the point of wanting to dig a
hole with his toes.
Just as he was mulling over it, Alexander finished packing up everything and handed it over to his
assistant. Then, he approached Isabe and said. “We need to get ready to leave.”
Isabe was contemting whether to hire more people for her agency when she heard a sound
that reminded her of the main event scheduled for that day
She then immediately got up, her face full of excitement.
Christopher looked skeptical, asking, “You’re really looking forward to Alex’s get–together?” He
wondered if Isabe had forgotten what she’d donest time.
Isabe nodded subtly. Inside, however, she couldn’t help but start to cheer. Get–together? More
like a gossip pool! It’s going to be a spectacle! Goodness, I can finally get a chance to witness the
drama up close. Those buddies of Alexander, they’re right in the thick of it. Haha!
The uncontroble lift of Isabe’s lips betrayed her excitement.
Naturally, Alexander noticed it. Is she only going there for the gossip? I thought… Wait… Are those
buddies of mine involved in so much gossip?
Christopher also became curious. Suddenly, everything seems to make sense. What’s going to
happen? D*mn! I’m getting curious!
Right then, Isabe thought, One of them watched as his ex–girlfriend turned into his sister–inw.
Another is spending money on a stand–in for his unrequited love, the first crush. One of them is
about to watch the object of his affection marry his cousin. And then there’s one whose father is
about to wed a woman his age. Among them, Rnd seems the most normal. However, he and his
girlfriend are expecting a baby before marriage. It’s supposedly some sort of redemption story.
Drama is everywhere!
Alexander was stumped. Wait… What? Huh? Who is she talking about?
Even though Alexander usually didn’t meddle in other people’s personal affairs, he thought he
would’ve heard more. Besides the news that the friend’s father was marrying a young girl, which
had been circting in the high society, he hadn’t heard the rest of the gossip.
Alexander had already started to doubt whether the get–together Isabe was attending was the
same one. he was going. Perhaps she wasn’t talking about any of my buddies.
Christopher’s eyes widened in surprise. What? What? How wild are Alex’s buddies? D*mn! I really
wish I could be there to see it all unfold in person!
However, in such a situation, he had no way of blending in. Left with no choice, Christopher ryed
the information he had overheard to the group chat. Enjoying something alone is not as satisfying
as sharing the joy
with others.
The Quirk family, who were suddenly hit by all sorts of unexpected news but couldn’t be at the
scene, asked: Are you sure this is a happy asion for everyone?

When Rnd arrived with his girlfriend, all eyes were drawn to them, particrly from the most
notable
table.
They called it a get–together, but there were still their own little cliques.
That table was considered the most prestigious gathering.
Josiah Hampton was the first to raise his voice, his face showing clear signs of irritation. “Have you
lost your mind? Did you seriously just go and invite that psychopath from the Quirk family?”
Sitting next to Josiah, Audrey Shepard said, “Josiah, after all, she is Alexander’s wife. It’s impolite
to address her in such a manner.
Josiah frowned impatiently. Today is a get–together. Are you here as an ex–ssmate or as my
sister–in-w? Spare me the lectures for once.”
Audrey’s expression shifted.,
Those present at the scene had a discerning eye, focusing on the subtleties rather than the surface.
Those less perceptive, however, found amusement in making fun of Josiah.
Aiden Burke asked, “What’s the matter? Is it that awkward for you to have Audrey as your sister–in–
law? It’s been over two years. Aren’t you used to it yet?”
His girlfriend, Ines Deleon, who was just as carefree, alsoughed and said, “If I remember
correctly. weren’t you the first one to stand up for Audrey when Isabe sshed wine on her after
she misspoke? You even got pped for it. I see now that even though you’re not fond of this
sister–inw, you’re still family at the end of the day. Josiah. You’re so stubborn. Hahaha.”
The onlookers remained speechless as they watched this blissfully naive couple.
“Shut up,” Josiah said coldly.
From the side, Clifford Decker shrugged nonchntly, his arm wrapped around a quiet girl. Pointing
at Rnd, he said, “Well, he turned traitor when he borrowed the police dog”
Upon hearing this, Deborah Carney, who had just hung up the phone, said, “I’ve seen that show.
Isabe did quite well on it. I heard she’s done a lot of good things, too. Right now, she’s the most
talked–about in the entertainment industry and quite popr. I suspect she might have changed.”
“It’s all for the show,” Josiah said dismissively. “Isn’t your fiancé in the entertainment industry?
Surely he must have told you that these are all fabricated personas.”
Deborah didn’t want to argue with others. She would only say as much as necessary.
Sitting beside Deborah, Damien Winters cast a nce at her. He then said to Rnd, who was
busy.
you used to find her
helping his girlfriend to sit down, ignoring everyone else around, “d to Rnd, who was busy
unbearable?”
Despite appearances suggesting no conflict between Rnd and Isabe, in reality, Rnd was
the one who had the most initial resentment toward Isabe.
