Gossip 211
Chapter 211 I Cannot Believe That Jerk Likes Dakota
Dakota wasn''t alone. Cam came along with her.
Dakota didn''t look too well, yet she was forcefully pulled into a group of young women Cam.
Audrey was also there, seemingly poised to introduce a makeup artist to the surroundingdies.
Dakota didn''t let her gaze wander around. She simply felt uneasy all over and was barely managing
to cope.
D*mn, there''s no end to shamelessness, Audrey. Are you really risking everything with all these
games? Aren''t you afraid it will alle crashing down? Do you really wish to fulfill this fated
standoff andpletely sever all their possibilities? This is so childish!
In addition to Isabe, the Quirks, who knew the whole truth, watched back and forth in confusion.
They anxiously waited to see how the situation would unfold.
Dakota is unwilling toe down to see Josiah, not just because she doesn''t want to cause trouble
at someone else''s important event, but because she ispletely disgusted by the truth. She
doesn''t want to face Josiah at all. So even though she knows Josiah is here and might have already
seen her, she still doesn''t want to face him. But what can she do when they relentlessly force her to
come down?
“Josiah, who are you looking at? Audrey or that cousin of hers?” Clifford asked curiously.
After all, everyone thought Josiah would quarrel with Isabe and Alexander. However, it seemed
as if he had suddenly stopped because he saw someone. Given Josiah''s temperament, this was
quite unusual.
“Wait, that makeup artist...” Suddenly, Zendaya, who was next to Clifford, spoke up.
Caught off guard, she momentarily forgot to y the innocent woman. Clifford should have warned
her. After all, he truly disliked a rebound who was as opinionated as his first crush.

Upon hearing that, Isabe''s curiosity was piqued. She turned to look at Zendaya and asked, “Do
you know her too?”
Upon hearing her idol speaking to her, Zendaya immediately overlooked her boss'' warning. “Yes.
During thest reunion, she was at that hotel. I ran into her in the restroom. Some of her makeup
products had your autograph, so we started a conversation. It seemed like she had taken a job that
day, working as a makeup artist there.”
Zendaya spoke quickly and energetically. Soon, she exined everything clearly.
Since Dakota had not looked over, Josiah was momentarily unsure of how to react. However, upon
hearing Zendaya''s words, he was stunned. Unable to believe it, he asked, “She was there at that
time?” He then frowned in confusion.
Well, well, well, I bet he''s starting to wonder if that was the day his true identity was revealed.
“That''s such a coincidence,” Damien said, frowning.
“Is she a makeup artist well-known within the entertainment world?” Ines, having been out of the
country for a long time, wasn''t sure.
Deborah, however, shook her head. “Never heard of her.”
On the other hand, Rnd turned to Isabe and said, “Your autograph? Seems like she''s your
fan? You just mentioned knowing her, is it true?”
The police was indeed sharp.
When Rnd mentioned this, Josiah immediately turned to Isabe. “You know her too?” He was
starting to feel apprehensive about Isabe, always sensing that anything rted to her was
probably not going to be good news.
However, Isabe nced at him with a look that sent a chill down his spine.
He had a lingering sense that Isabe''s gaze wasden with obscenities.
Isabe had indeed cursed inwardly. It was only then that she realized something.
This sc*m ims to be fond of Dakota, but I honestly don''t buy it. He''s a jerk through and through,
and he clearlycks a conscience.
“Oh, yes, we do know each other. She was part of the makeup team for Christopher and I when we
were on that variety show a couple of months ago. What a coincidence,” Isabe said with a yful
smile.
Shocked, Alexander too caught on. He then stared at Josiah in disbelief.
Josiah looked utterly astonished and dazed.
He still has the audacity to look surprised. How can he not know that Dakota and I had worked
together for two months? Even if he isn''t into gossip, our show was so popr. They were living
together, was it possible that Dakota never mentioned it? Or maybe she did, but he just didn''t
register it. What ack of interest he has in his own girlfriend! He seems to have no intention of
understanding her career at all.
At this point, the Quirks, who had been eavesdropping on Isabe''s inner thoughts, also came to
their senses.
Christopher and Rosalie were particrly speechless. The partners of the crew members at that
time would definitely know who they were working for, especially since the show was so popr. It
was absurd that Josiah didn''t know, and because it was so preposterous, no one had thought of this
before.
Thinking back now, even the phrase “speechless” was insufficient to express their utter disbelief.
Seeing Josiah still oblivious to how despicable he was, Isabe felt a surge of irritation.
Without hesitation, she said, “Dakota is a nice person. She''s skilled, hardworking, and not afraid of
hardship. It''s just that she has bad luck with money and men.”
“Why do you say that?” Ines responded immediately, proving that curiosity was indeed a part of
human nature.
Josiah couldn''t help but cast a nce in her direction, his gaze filled with a mix of curiosity and
caution. He seemed to be suspecting that Dakota was badmouthing him behind his back. He
wondered if she was actually resentful about having to support him, but was forced to bear it due to
his status. Yet, she couldn''t help but vent her frustrations when away from him.
He was afraid to acknowledge the words that Isabe and Alexander had previously mocked him
with.
Isabe began to share the gossip. The entire table was captivated, their attention drawn to her.
“During our previous coboration, she had once borrowed money from her mentor. The reason
was that her boyfriend had gotten into a car ident with a luxury car owner. Her boyfriend, being a
hot-headed young master, escted the initial conflict, causing her to shoulder tens of thousands in
debt. She didn''t have much savings, so she had no choice but to ask her mentor for a loan. After
that, she worked around the clock to repay the debt, taking on jobs day and night. She was so
exhausted that she almost fainted on our production set.”
Upon hearing these words, a shock ran through Josiah''s eyes, as if he had just unearthed a long-
forgotten incident from the depths of his memory.
With his temper, conflicts were just conflicts. Although it was Dakota who ended up paying for the
damagester, he assumed that she was well-off and never bothered to calcte how much he had
spent or how much she could afford based on her sry.
“What? Her boyfriend is so irresponsible!” Ines frowned as she spoke.
Deborah said, “Men who only know how to act tough and shirk responsibility are the worst.”
“Expecting his girlfriend to shoulder this expense?” Aiden said with disdain.
“Is Dakota a hopeless romantic or what? Why didn''t she break up with him immediately after?”
Damien said,ughing.
With every word they uttered, the color drained further from Josiah''s face. His lips trembled and his
scalp tingled. He had never imagined that such a trivial matter could be blown out of proportion and
twisted into such harsh judgments in the mouths of others.
Both Rnd and Clifford froze, unable to pinpoint why everything felt so familiar.
After the conflict that time, Josiah was so upset that he vented to Clifford and Rnd during their
gathering, dismissing the guy who drove the luxury car as nothing more than a nouveau riche.
Following that, Isabe continued, “Recently, she''s been dealing with some issues at home and
needs to borrow money. She has tried to borrow from various sources but to no avail. She even
sought help from her boyfriend, but he ended up running away.”
