ding Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 253 Shook Intensely
Finished
As ine rose to leave. Isabe was left dumbfounded. Although Zendaya did catch ine’s eye,
it’s rather odd for ine to be so concerned about someone she had only recently met.
After staring at ine’s back for a moment, Alexander said, “Perhaps ine suspects that Zendaya
is her half–sister from the same mother.”
As soon as Alexander finished speaking, Isabe looked at him almost in terror.
She didn’t expect him to know such a piece of well–hidden information when she hadn’t shared it
with him.
Alexander could tell what she was thinking based on her expression. Thus, he yed a little trick
and appeared as though he wanted to share some juicy gossip with Isabe, beckoning her to lean
closer to
him.
Isabe’s eyes sparkled instantly. After all, Alexander was an influential man. Logically, it wouldn’t
be difficult for him to find out what he wanted to know. As such, Isabe thought perhaps Alexander
had already been aware of certain gossip.
Isabe was d not to be the only person who knew what was happening. Excitedly, she leaned
in and Whispered, “Do you know something?”
Just as the two were about to speak. Ines, Aiden, and Deborah arrived at a spot near the two.
They all engaged in conversation, intermittently interruptingbe and Alexander’s private
discussions.
In her eagerness to share the juicy gossip, Isabe immediately dragged Alexander into the water.
The two found a quiet corner by the swimming pool. Amidst the noise andmotion, they
whispered to each other.
There were rumors that ine’s current mother isn’t her biological one. It’s said that her real mother
ran off with someone else. Given Zendaya’s age, it seems usible. I think she might have started
to suspect something, which is why she’s been paying so much attention to Zendaya,” said
Alexander.
Isabe’s countenance brightened up. “If If they are really sisters, what do you think ine’s
attitude toward Zendaya would be?”
After some thought, Alexander said, “All I know is that ine is fiercely protective of those she
cares about. Moreover, Zendaya lost her parents at a very young age.
The source of ine’s resentment was gone, and not everyone enjoyed shifting their hatred onto
others. At the very least, ine was a person who valued righteousness.
However, to assert that Alexander was confident would be quite a stretch, considering his limited
understanding of most people around him.
Isabe was quite distressed and couldn’t help but use the system to check on how Zendaya was
doing.

When she did she almost swore verbally. Clifford must be sick! Why is he cornering
The swimming pool was rippling with waves as a beach ball drifted over. Alexander deflected it, only
to hear Isabe muttering curses in her mind. What did my buddy do again?

After taking her medicine and changing into her new work uniform, Zendaya was about to return to
work when she was cornered in a deserted hallway.
Upon seeing Clifford, Zendaya was utterly exasperated. She had initially nned to pretend not to
notice him and move on.
Just as she passed by, she was taken by surprise. Cliffor pressed her against the wall, his hand
firmly gripping hers. “Zendaya, you’ve be quite bold! How dare you ignore me!”
Zendaya was unable to break free. Exasperated, she said, “Mr. Clifford, the contract states that
once the agreement is fulfilled, you shan’t pester me anymore!”
That rule was originally imposed by Clifford to restrict Zendaya. However, Zendaya felt that it was
Clifford who should really be adhering to the rule.
Clifford chuckled, pinching Zendaya’s chin contemptuously. “You’re so impressive today, aren’t
you? Picking fights with me at every turn. How long do you think I’ll tolerate this?”
The edge of Zendaya’s mouth twitched. Why did someone as nice as ine have a rtionship
with him?
Watching Zendaya fall silent, Clifford thought she had finally stopped her act. He took a deep
breath, only to freeze when he saw Zendaya’s downcast eyes and overall vibe.
Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
That was the Zendaya he was familiar with, a very obedient and well–behaved wontan.
In reality, he genuinely missed how she used to be at his beck and call, always by his side.
Clifford gazed at Zendaya. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. It had been a long time since theyst
met. so he assumed she must have missed him too and wondered how many tears she had
secretly shed.
If it weren’t for ine, things between us would’ve still been as they used to be. Suddenly, Clifford
was intensely shaken. Why did it have to be ine? When we met again earlier, even though I still
have feelings for her, she was as infuriating as ever. Why should I subject myself to this torment?
Surely, I’ll be happier with someone who loves me wholeheartedly and is willing topromise for
me. Perhaps I should’ve chosen Zendaya instead of ine. Maybe Zendaya has be an
entirely distinct entity from ine in my heart.
“Zendaya, I understand what you’re thinking. Actually, I… I’m in an emotional turmoil. Could you
give me some time?” Clifford suddenly asked.
Regaining her senses, Zendaya was taken aback by the sudden request. It left her with an
indescribable feeling of helplessness. “Mr. Clifford, you don’t need time or be in a turmoil. As of
now, we simply have no connection. I’ve never harbored any thoughts toward you, I swear on my
life. Please step aside. I need to get back to work!”
If Clifford could believe that so easily, he wouldn’t have been able to deceive himself for so long.
“Zendaya, I haven’t kissed you yet, have I?” After saying that, Clifford leaned in, his eyes lowered
as if he was about to prove something.
Zendaya was instantly filled with terror as she widened her eyes. She instinctively recoiled, wishing
she could shrink into the wall. Before she could even swear she heard a voiceing from not too
far away. “What’s this? Staging a forceful kiss? Clifford, you really are bing more audacious.”
Upon hearing ine’s voice, Clifford reacted almost instinctively, guiltily wrenching himself away
from Zendaya.

Zendaya was shoved aside, stumbling back a few steps. Unable to hold herself back, she turned
around and defiantly flipped both middle fingers at Clifford.
Of course, at that time, Clifford was too nervous facing ine to notice anything else. However,
ine was amused by Zendaya’s actions.
ineughed, leaving Zendaya awkwardly at a loss for what to do.
After all, up until then, she couldn’t be sure if she still had feelings for her ex.
“Why are you here?” Clifford’s voice grew bolder as he spoke. “What I do is none of your business.
You’re not anyone to me anymore.”
Meanwhile, Isabe, who was using the system, was–speechless. Even at this point, he still hadn’t
forgotten hit n to use Zendaya to provoke ine. Just a moment ago, he imed to be in
emotional turmoil. I think he’s just a yboy at heart.
As Alexander listened to Isabe’s thoughts, he wasn’t surprised by Clifford’s actions. After all, that
was something Clifford had been nning for years. Even if he was in love with someone else,
ine was always his first choice,
Even if ine and Zendaya have feelings for Clifford, it’ll just be a cliché scenario of him being
tormented by his love pursuit. Right now, it seems like Clifford’s the only one sticking to this
storyline and even has the audacity to add more scenes for himself. Isabe frowned.
Meanwhile, ine didn’t have the mood or patience to entertain Clifford’s behavior at that moment.
She brushed him off, saying, “Sure, whatever, could you please leave? I need to speak with
Zendaya.”
