    Hirit a second, fint this a great opportunity? It’s such a coincidence, even my lipstick seems to know


    I need the chance to use the makeup room You Alexander, you really are my lucky star!


    Immediately, Isabe looked at Josiah with anticipation


    Josiah would’ve had the perfect vantage point to witness Alexander’s entire operation if he had


    been paying attention. However, he missed it, so upon realizing the situation, he prepared to stand


    up and guide them.


    Isabe immediately said. “It’s fine, just give me the directions. I can find the ce myself.”


    I can’t let Josiah apany me. Regardless of whether Dakota is here to confront Josiah in


    person. I can’t interfere with others fate, but I can gossip. I just can’t start one. That’s the


    professional integrity of a gossiper.


    “Huh?” Josiah was taken aback.


    No worries, Audrey is still in the makeup room, she’ll take care of you if you need anything” Caleb


    arrived. Probably overhearing their conversation, he cheerfully said to Isabe, “It’s the first room on


    the -second floor, easy to find. There’s no off–limits area in our house, feel free to explore if you’re


    interested.


    The backyard garden and the rooftop terrace offer quite the view.”


    Reading the room, it was likely that he had already noticed their boredom. After all, the other guests


    hadn’t arrived yet, and the party hadn’t officially begun.


    Indeed, the young people in their family were dreadfully boring.

    Once again, Isabe found herself having a good impression of Caleb. In truth, people from such


    prominent families often treated her with varying attitudes. Yet, up until then, Caleb had always


    been generous and cordial, warm and friendly. From another perspective, his respect for Alexander


    extended to Alexander’s wife. In that regard, he was far more considerate than his wife and


    younger brother.


    Once again, she cast a sympathetic nce at him. Why did such an exceptional person have to


    encounter such a predicament? He deserves so much better!


    Isabe quickly stood up, eager to gossip, not noticing Alexander also rose from his seat and trailed


    after


    her


    Before he left. Alexander could feel the palpable resentment from his family.


    He had no choice though. It was reasonable for him to apany his wife but he couldn’t exactly


    bring the whole family along


    Even though they knew it was impossible, they could only endure and pray that Isabe’s thoughts


    would. reach them, providing a live feed for them to savor the firsthand gossip.


    Upon seeing Alexander following Isabe without any hesitation, Josiah was momentarily taken


    aback.


    I haven’t really got used to this ever since the reunion.


    “What kind of charin does Isabe possess that made Alexander be… so different in just six


    months?”

    Christopher nced at Josiah, saying, “The power of love, of course. They’re a married couple, so


    it’s perfectly mal for them to be inseparable. What about you? Don’t you and your girlfriend cling to


    each


    are you guys independent?”


    Immediately, Josiah felt a stab through his heart, hisplexion turning somewhat unpleasant. He


    assumed Christopher had unintentionally touched a sore spot and decided not to respond.


    Suddenly, from another side, Rosalie interjected. “Josiah, where’s your girlfriend? Didn’t she


    come?”


    Feeling the blow once again, Josiah could only bite the bullet and say, “She’s not free.”


    Finally, Evian said leisurely. “So, you have a girlfriend. I haven’t heard about that before.”


    Josiah was struck again.


    Do these people really have to talk about this?


    In reality, only his friends and family knew that he had a girlfriend since he had never publicly shown


    her off. Given his reputation as a spoiled silver–spooned kid, most people would quickly forget it


    even if they heard about it. Even his own family didn’t care much about the girlfriend Josiah had


    never officially introduced and simply assumed Josiah wasn’t serious.


    After all, they had heard that he had a girlfriend, but before they could meet her Josiah had broken


    up with his girlfriend before they knew who it was.


    The Hamptons had already gotten used to it.


    At that time, guests started to arrive one after another. Caleb led Josiah to greet the arriving


    guests.


    Meanwhile, Isabe had already reached the edge of the battlefield, but there was a slight hup.


    However, it wasn’t rted to Alexander following her.


    At first, Isabe was rather perplexed about Alexander following her, but before she could dwell on


    it further, she caught the conversationing from the makeup room. The voices were quite clear,


    audible to anyone who had ascended the staircase..


    -I refuse to believe you hiring me twice is a mere coincidence, and this time at such an outrageous


    price. What’s your game? I’m no fool, so don’t bother testing me. I knew from the start that my so–


    called boyfriend is the second son of the Hampton family.”


    Well, look at that! The door isn’t even shut! And here I’m nning to sneakily eavesdrop from


    outside.


    However, someone gently tugged at her wrist.


    When Isabe turned around, she saw Alexander giving her a look, indicating that they should lean


    against


    the wall to listen.


    Well, turns out Alexander is quite the gossip too. It’s understandable, though. Who can resist


    eavesdropping on such a crucial conversation?


    Isabe was always quite generous with sharing information, so she took out her phone and typed


    out a message, letting Alexander know that the person inside was Dakota.


    Alexander cooperated, showing an expression of surprise.

    Isabe instantly felt even more invigorated and texted So, your buddy pretended to be poor to woo


    Dakota!


    Alexander frowned, showing his displeasure at Josiah’s actions.


    Isabe was instantly relieved. Thankfully, their perceptions aligned, and agreed it was Josiah’s


    problem


    If it weren’t for the inconvenience of typing, Isabe would’ve taken the time to have a good


    discusson with Alexander right then and there


    The conversation inside was still ongoing


    “So, you knew all along yet still kept the rtionship going. Just as I thought, how can a woman like


    you let go of such a wealthy man, knowing he is the second son of the Hampton family? However,


    Josiah is also at fault for deceiving you like this. Lapologize on his belulf”


    D“mn, even an actress can’t act as good as she does! I really want to see the look on her face right


    not


    Isabe casuallyined silently when suddenly her phone was snatched from her hands.


    Isabe was surprised to watch Alexander open an app on her phone, turn the camera around,


    extend hi arm. adjust the angle, and zoom in on the screen. Soon, Isabe could see the scene


    inside the room from the phone’s disy.


    At that moment, Audrey stood face–to–face with Dakota.


    Isabe watched Alexander’s smooth movement, her eyes wide in surprise as she turned to look at


    him.


    This guy is seriously impressive! He even mastered the skills of a paparazzi!


    Alexander’s hand trembled slightly, almost ruining the scene. His lips twitched. This is just basic


    math and physics, though.


    Isabe was ted because she had both sound and visual of the confrontation happening in the


    makeup


    room.


    Heh, don’t me us for peeking since you guys didn’t close the door–Huh? Wait a minute, why


    didn’t they close the door? Aren’t they afraid of getting caught? They can’t be sure that no one is


    coming up here, right!


    The Quirks were eavesdropping on Isabe’s thoughts from a floor below.


    However, they saw the otherdies from the Hampton family whispering to Lorelei. As they were


    seated nearby, they could overhear their conversation.


    “Have you fixed your hair? Do you want to head upstairs and do something about it?”


    “No, this is fine.


    “Then I won’t touch up my makeup and attend to the guests first.”


    Is she… D*mn, she really is! Audrey is waiting for the women of the Hampton family toe


    upstairs to do their makeup or touch–ups to witness everything and let them discover the


    rtionship between Dakota and Josiah. She’s setting the stage for their breakup,pletely


    cutting off any potential reconciliation. She’s already Jossah’s sister–in-w and ex–girlfriend, so


    can’t she tolerate his current girlfriend? She’s using various means to prevent them from being


    together.
