“Eleanor had no ulterior motives and simply wanted to clear things up with you and resolve your
inner turmoil,” Lily agitatedly stated.
Everyone turned their attention to the cell phone, which was showing Eleanor’s email inbox.
They saw a reply from Alexander’s email address: This is Isabe, Mrs. Quirk. My husband has
asked me to handle this email. Ms. Smith. I would rather you not meet with my husband again.
Please refrain from contacting him.
Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
Everyone’s eyes widened instantly, though not because they had an issue with Isabe replying like
that as Mrs. Quirk.
As Alexander’s wife, being wary of her husband’s ex was cert
justified.
However, that was Alexander’s personal email ount. He was a man who greatly valued his
privacy and personal boundaries. They believed there was no way he would’ve allowed others to
use his email address.
After all, Isabe and Alexander were not exactly the picture–perfect couple who trusted each other
wholeheartedly. At least, that was why the others thought.
Hence, they assumed Isabe must have stumbled upon the email by ident and secretly sent
that email -to deal with a love rival.
Everyone turned their attention to Isabe.
Isabe had already risen to her feet and stared straight at Lily’s phone.
Everyone felt embarrassed on behalf of Isabe. They assumed Isabe probably didn’t expect her
act would be publicly exposed by Lily in front of Alexander.
When they turned to Alexander, they saw his expression stiffening.
Immediately, they concluded their spection was correct and that Alexander had no idea Eleanor
contacted him.
Seeing Isabe’s reaction, Lily turned to Alexander, saying, “Is your current cold and indifferent
attitude. toward Eleanor because Isabe spun some sort of lie to make you misunderstand what
happened, just like this hidden email? If you really have any resentment toward Eleanor, speak up
openly. Confront it face to face!”
Lily couldn’t believe that Alexander would treat Eleanor that way unless someone was stirring up
trouble and causing Alexander to misunderstand Eleanor. She couldn’t think of any other reason.
Actually, Eleanor felt the same way. Isabe had once resorted to any means necessary to win over
Alexander. Given Alexander’s attitude toward her, Eleanor was confident Isabe must have been
up to something again!
Upon hearing that, everyone was momentarily taken aback.
Just moments ago, they found Alexander’s attitude toward Eleanor utterly incredulous. Although
they had. once fantasized about the two rekindling an old me, based on their understanding of
Alexander’s character, they knew that regardless of how he felt, he would still maintain a friendly
demeanor when the two met again.

Yet, at that moment, Alexander was utterly indifferent toward Eleanor. Even after finding out the
truth. about the past, he remained unmoved. That led everyone to imagine some sort of cliché
misunderstanding must’ve happened.
was
Naturally, their prime suspect behind the misunderstand one other than Isabe.
Once again, they aimed their gazes at Isabe.
Isabe was stunned while Alexander remained silent.
The couple’s reaction led Lily and Eleanor to believe their n had been sessful, that they had
exposed Isabe, revealing the conspiracy to Alexander. Ife should’ve used this against Isabe
earlier since it’s so effective!
Smugly. Lily turned to Isabe and said fiercely, “Don’t think you’re so special just because you
have at marriage certificate. Everyone knows how you got the position of Mrs. Quirk. In romance,
the one who isn’t loved is the mistress. All your maniptions and tricks are useless!”
Rnd finally couldn’t help but cough and say, “Lily, you’ve had too much to drink! What nonsense
are you spouting?
“What’s wrong with using some tactics to protect your own marriage?” Ines couldn’t help but
comment. It
Want so much in defense of Isabe but merely a critique of Lily’s argument.
Aiden nodded, saying, “You’re right, Honey.”
As aplete bystander, Zendaya watched everything unfold silently, feeling hurt for her idol. She
didn’t know Justice Upholder, who provided support and protection for many innocent women on
stage, turned out to have a marriage fraught with issues. They’re all clearly bullying Isabe.
Indeed, so–called high society folks seemed to have a weak sense of morality! “A mistress is still a
mistress.”
“What are you mumbling about?” Clifford instantly shot Zendaya a displeased look, not allowing her
to express her personality.
Zendaya could only keep quiet.
Damien and Deborah, who had previously been quite interested in watching the drama unfold and
were curious about what choice Alexander would make, didn’t expect the scene to turn out so ugly.
They both felt some sympathy for Isabe, who was suddenly exposed.
It seemed as if they were looking at a pitiful woman who was struggling to keep her marriage afloat.
“I thought you had changed, but it turns out you haven’t.” Josiah would seize any opportunity to
express his displeasure.
Just as he ended his sentence, he suddenly felt a gazeing from the direction of the main
entrance.
Although everyone was focusing on the drama, the presence of that gaze was particrly intense to
him.
Suddenly, Josiah turned around, but all he saw were servers bustling in and out. Immediately, he
felt at sense of emptiness in his heart. He had initially intended to badmouth Isabe a bit, but he
suddenly lost the mood. He thought of Dakota, who had mentioned that she had work tonight. At
that moment, he wondered if she had eaten yet.
While Josiah was suddenly distracted, everyone else continued to engage in the drama.

“Isabe, how could you do such a thing? Ah, Alexander, don’t be mad at Isabe. Still, this is
rather unfair to Eleanor. Maybe you should apologize?” Audrey suggested insincerely.
“No need. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have reached out to Alexander. Isabe, you did the right thing
Eleanor’s voice was hoarse,ced with a hint of sobbing as she addressed Isabe. “I did as you
said and haven’t contacted Alexander again. However, this is a get–together. I didn’t want toe
initially, but it’s been so long since I’ve met everyone, and I miss them. That’s why I’m here. You
don’t have to concern yourself with what Lily said. It’s all in the past.”
“Eleanor, you’re just too kindhearted, I don’t know what this woman has been doing behind you
two’s backs to deepen the misunderstanding between you two!” Lily seemed to have already
concluded that
I was indeed the truth.
My mother tongue is silence, but isn’t their acting a bit too cressive? much as I enjoy gossip, it’s no
longer fun when I’m the main subject! thought Isabe,
Snapping back to reality from the immense shock and embarrassment, Alexander found himself in
an embarrassing situation he had never experienced in his life. He felt as if his entire body was
aze.
He realized he couldn’tprehend the inner workings of a woman’s mind because he had not
anticipated the email would be used to target Isabe.
At that moment, he truly understood what embarrassment meant.
Just as he was about to stand up and rify things, he heard Isabe’s inner voice ranting wildly. I
don’t even need to investigate to know that they fabricated this to set me up. They’re really
determined to win over Alexander,
Alexander remarked in his mind, Um, actually it’s not.
Isabe continued, I’ll make sure the two of them regret ndering me! Now, let me think about how
I should teach them a lesson!
Mentally. Alexandermented, No need. I’ll do it.
The edge of Isabe’s lips curved upward slightly. Wait a minute! I’m at a disadvantage if I strike
back! After all, in this web of rtionships, if I retaliate without Alexander’s support, I’ll just end up
being theughingstock! That’s it! Isn’t this an opportunity? I can feebly deny my involvementter,
and Alexander surely won’t easily believe me, especially since they’ve put on such a convincing
show. Then, I can argue with Alexander and the others, blowing a small issue out of proportion! It’ll
eventually spiral out of control, and then I can… Hehehe….
Alexander resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Yes, I suppose it is indeed an opportunity!
Suddenly, Isabe rose to her feet with determination.
However, before she could even speak, Alexander also stood up. He stretched his arm and pulled
Isabe:
into his embrace.
