Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 181 Rely On Women
+5 Pearls
Overwhelmed by the anticipation of gossip, Isabe walked briskly. As she turned the corner, a
person suddenly stumbled right in front of her, causing the box in that person’s hands to tumble
directly toward Isabe.
For a moment. Isabe couldn’t stop in time. She was about to be hit by the scattered objects
pouring out of the box when she suddenly felt a force around her whist pulling her back.
In the blink of an eye, Isabe found herself crashing into a sturdy embrace. Surprisingly, not a
single fragment of the scattered objects had touched her.
At that moment, she was encircled by Alexander’s arm around her waist. Looking up, she saw his
other arm shielding her front. No wonder she hadn’t felt any impact. It turned out that anything
flying toward her had been deflected by Alexander’s protective armis,
“Are you okay?” A deep voice echoed above her, the underlying concern evident even through the
cold undertones it carried
Isabe was slightly taken aback. “I’m fine. I’m fine..”
Alexander released Isabe, and only then did they both lift their heads to look ahead. They saw a
young girl with a high ponytail, wearing a ck mask, sitting somewhat awkwardly on the ground. A
box had fallen beside her, spilling various cosmetics all around.
The girl quickly realized what had happened, hastily stood up, and pulled down her mask, bowing in
apology. “I’m sorry. I hope I didn’t hurt you… Wait… Ms. Jea?”
Isabe recognized the person as well. She was the assistant makeup artist assigned to their group
by the production team of “My Acting Skill.” Isabe could recall that her name was Dakota
Meadows.
“Dakota? Is that you?” Isabe asked.
Dakota probably didn’t expect Isabe to recognize her. She immediately apologized, saying. “Im
sorry, Ms. Jea. It’s all my fault for not having a steady grip.”
“It’s all right, but y–you don’t seem well,” Isabe said, furrowing her brows as she looked at her.
Dakota looked rather pale, with dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating ack of rest. She
appeared extremely fatigued and haggard, almost to the point of frailty. Just earlier, she had
stumbled, barely managing to hold on to her belongings.
Dakota, however, had a resilient spirit, one that couldn’t be easily defeated. She quickly put on a
smile and said, “I’m fine. I’ve just been too busy to grab a bite, and I guess I got a bit light–headed
from hypoglycemia.”
As they were talking, someone from afar was calling out for Dakota.
Dakota quickly said to Isabe, “Ms. Jea, you carry on. I won’t waste any more of your time.”
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but cast a restrained nce toward Alexander, who was standing
next to

Christopher. Even in her professional capacity, she couldn’t help but marvel at his superior
gics.
asionally, she had overheard that these two were married. However, they were discreet, and
Dakota was not the type to gossip about inside information she had happened toe across. She
was very measured, so she didn’t show much curiosity about why the couple was there that night.
She simply found the pair standing together to be quite a sight for sore eyes. After all, as a makeup
artist, she had a high standard for aesthetics. Upon seeing a handsome man and a beautiful
woman, she couldn’t help but steal a few more nces.
After finishing her words. Dakota hurriedly went to pick up the makeup products scattered on the
ground. Seeing her frantic state, Isabe naturally bent down to help her. Alexander, standing
nearby, didn’t say much and also lent a hand. This rmed Dakota, who quickly waved her hands,
insisting they didn’t need
f to help.
However, it didn’t take long to gather the items. Dakota’s face flushed with embarrassment. At the
same time, she felt that the two people in front of her were likely true members of high society. They
were cultured and refined. Even though she felt a sense of distance, they didn’t disy any
condescending attitudes,
Thest item that Alexander picked up was a delicate bracelet, which made him pause slightly
when he
saw it
“Oh, thank you! Thank you. How did it break? Thankfully, it isn’t lost.” Caught off guard, Dakota
epted the bracelet with a look of relief as if she had narrowly escaped a disaster. She examined
it carefully and cautiously ced it in her pocket, finally feeling at ease
The urging sound came again. Only then did Dakota express her thanks and leave.
It was only after Dakota had left that Isabe clicked her tongue twice. “Just by looking at that
bracelet, you can tell it’s a gift from her boyfriend, a man who relies on women. I must say, that man
knows how to woo a girl. The bracelet he gave her does seem to have a certain taste to it. I just
can’t figure out what brand it
Alexander said, “That’s custom–made.”
Isabe let out a sound, curiously asking, “Is it very expensive?”
Alexander didn’t know how to put it. “That one she has isn’t expensive.”
Isabe shrugged, saying, “I suppose so. Well, you know what…”
The two of them continued to move forward, with Isabe unable to resist gossiping with Alexander.
After all, it was during the time of the show’s recording that everyone had spread the word. It wasn’t
the type of secret information dug up from the system, so Isabe shared the gossip without any
hesitation.
Upon hearing Isabe’s tone, Alexander turned his ear toward her, obediently listening.
“She’s the assistant makeup artist for “My Acting Skill” and earns a decent ie. Yet, aside from
that, she hustles everywhere, taking on makeup gigs for others. You could tell just by looking at her
that she was worn out. All of this is because she has a freeloading man to provide for. That man
relies on her.”
Relies on her?”
“She has a boyfriend whom she has supported for two years. He lives off her, cats her food, and

leaves the house for work because he is trying to start his own business online. All of his living
expenses are covered by her, and she doesn’t mind. In fact, she always gives him the best of
everything. She cares for him in every aspect of life and firmly believes in hul talent, convincing him
he will seed. She doesn’t tunk he’s relying on her, and she’ll get upset if anyone suggests
otherwise. Eventually, even her mentor gave up trying to advise her.”
“Her boyfriend just lets her get this exhausted?” Alexander raised an eyebrow.
Isabe nodded, saying, “Perhaps there are indeed men who, driven by their entrepreneurial
ventures, need to rely temporarily on women for support. However, I don’t think her boyfriend is one
of them…” “That’s true. If he was really helpless, he should have refused when she was trying to
provide him with a better living environment. It makes no sense, and he’s enjoying himself while his
girlfriend suffers.”
f
Isabe immediately patted Alexander on the shoulder and said, “Exactly! I’ve even seen her take
an advance payment just because her boyfriend had a car ident with someone’s luxury car.
They ended up arguing, leaving no room for negotiation, and she had to pay for the damages using
all her savings. Her boyfriend is really a useless and irrationally angry man, I wonder what she sees
in him. Did he save her life. or something?”
Isabe genuinely felt sympathy for Dakota. Hence, she didn’t hold back her harsh words. However,
Isabe never considered persuading Dakota.
Dakota was unlike others who had been victimized and deceived. After all, she didn’t find her
experiences painful. In fact, she might have even found joy in them. Given this, Isabe would
never interfere with someone else’s fate. She didn’t even bother to specte about Dakota’s
thoughts.
At most, she would vent to others.
Upon hearing this, Alexander found himself even more puzzled. He couldn’t figure out how that
bracelet ended up in Dakota’s possession.
Isabe had a fondness for gossip. Alexander thought she might appreciate him sharing a discovery
with her, and he figured she would probably find it interesting to hear.
When they were together, it couldn’t always be Isabe, who did all the talking. He, too, had to try to
make some changes.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw someone approaching from the end of the hallway.
When Rnd emerged, he saw the two of them in the corridor, walking toward him. They were side
by side, their heads close together, whispering intimately
Alexander raised an eyebrow, appearing to react as if he heard something intriguing. Isabe, on
the other hand, was all excited, her face full of curiosity and anticipation.
Confused, Rnd rubbed his eyes. Although I’ve seen them together before, there’s a surreal
feeling about this.
