Reading Juicy Gossip In Her Mind
Chapter 268 Effortlessly Saying Sweet Nothings
Isabe was convinced it wasn’t her fault. She was just a pure–hearted gossip sharer, an
enthusiastic gossiper who loved to be in the know,
However, the person involved was quite taken aback by the information.
Silence ensued on the other end of the phone once again.
However, one could easily envision the sensation of an erupting rage within this silence.

Damien wasn’t the only one taken aback. Even Alexander was left bewildered upon hearing the
news. When Alexander entered the room, there were no signs of inappropriate behavior between
the two, so he hadn’t noticed anything amiss. He merely found it peculiar that they were together at
such a time.
At this point, he understood and was repulsed by the situation between the two.
“Damien. Alexander cautioned while still driving, “Don’t do anything rash.”
After breaking his silence, Damien’s voice was somewhat hoarse. “Thank you, for letting me know.
I’ll handle it privately with them.
Once the call ended, Isabe analyzed, saying, “Damien is furious. Indeed it would upset anyone if
their closest sister was treated like a lover by their cousin. Even without any blood rtion, it’s still
pretty distasteful.”
“There’s more to it,” said Alexander.
“What do you mean?” Isabe didn’t bother checking the system, asking him directly.
Anyway, Alexander was more than happy to share gossip with her.
“Oliver and Damien had been at odds since childhood. They were enemies in every sense of the
word, devoid of any brotherly affection. Mdm. Lydia often praised the more aplished Damien,
even choosing him as her heir, so Oliver developed a habit of taking things from Damien from a
young age. only to destroy themter as a form of retaliation to upset Damien,” he borated.
Immediately, Isabe said, “Could Deborah also…”
Alexander shook his head. “He hid it so well, Oliver had no idea,”
Isabe had somewhat of an epiphany, concluding that perhaps his seamless concealment was
also meant to protect Deborah.
“So, was Oliver’ssciviousness not just simple lust, but a ploy to upset Damien by making Ruby
his lover? His sister is such a joke to be deceived so easily. Couldn’t she see the man she was with
was unfriendly toward her brother?” shemented.
Alexander said, “Damien has always lived with the Winters family and was cared for by the elders.
Ruby, on the other hand, lived with the Willis family. Despite sharing the same mother, they weren’t
particrly close. Damien’s attentiveness towards her was more of a result of their mother’s
mandate. However, Ruby wasn’t too fond of him.”
“She isn’t fond of Damien, her brother, but likes Oliver that yboy? Uhh… Did she damage her

Yet, there was something different in Alexander’s gaze as he said, “It’s normal for half–siblings i
strained rtionships. Don’t you think? Their mutual non–eptance of each other’s biological
fathers and thepetition for the same mother’s affection can easily make their rtionship
sensitive. The bond between ine and Zendaya is a rare case.”
Isabe recalled how close they were, almost like twins. They often invited her out, with ine
iming it was to help her sister chase after celebrities. “It truly does depend on the person,” she
remarked.

Alexander continued, “Due to their ten–year age gap, Damien felt a sense of responsibility and care
toward Ruby, akin to an elder toward a younger person. However, Ruby tended to act rather
arrogant. The few times they met, she showed little respect for her older brother, oftenshing out
at him and acting unfriendly. Therefore, it may not necessarily be true that she was deceived into
being with Oliver.”
This time, Alexander didn’t need to make any guesses as Isabe had sensed it directly.
She cursed inwardly. Dmn! They truly were two viins conspiring together to upset Damien.
Unbelievable! However, Alexander did reveal a reason for Ruby to target Damien.
Alexander’s eyes flickered. It’s not that I’m unaware. It’s just that Damien has never spoken about it.
Naturally, I don’t feel it’s appropriate to expose something my buddy tried so hard to hide. Besides,
he….
His grip on the steering wheel involuntarily tightened, his breath seemingly halted momentarily, and
his mind went nk for a second. However, the relentless inner thoughts from Isabe by his side
quickly brought him back to normal.
Just because Mrs. Willis disliked Damien, the young girl was influenced and learned by example,
naturally developing a disdain for her elder brother.
Hearing her thoughts, Alexander scoffed inwardly.
Mrs. Willis is also a weirdo. The difficult birth of Damien had caused her to bleed profusely and
endure much suffering. which led to her continuous dislike of him. When her husband met with
misfortune, she sought a fortune teller, who imed that Damien was the cause of their family’s
downfall. This began her resentment toward him, even escting to physical abuse, but Mdm. Lydia
soon discovered and exposed it. Subsequently, the Winters family took custody of Damien. Fearing
being cursed to death by Damien, Mrs. Willis decided to remarry. Even though everything was
peaceful after that, Damien had to bear the long–term emotional neglect from his mother.
Alexander’s lips quivered slightly as he continued listening to Isabe’s thoughts.
This weirdo mother often med Damien for her misfortunes, insisting he owed her for them. She
would use all sorts of quilt trips, to force Damien to clean up the messes caused by the Willis family
or Ruby. Thankfully, Damien was well- educated and would never be easily manipted. He merely
fulfilled his responsibilities. His rtionship with his mother could be considered a continuous game.
A troublemaker mother, an unruly sister, and her, who is bing another man’s wife. The
shattered Damien. Why does he give the impression of a handsome and capable but tragic
man?
Isabe was amused by her thoughts.
At this point, they had arrived at the shopping mall.
Isabe had already grown ustomed to Alexander’s routine of opening the car door for her.
But this time, he unbuckled his seat belt, unbuckled hers, and without any warning, pulled her into
his arms right there in the car.

The sudden
unexpected embrace left Isabepletely stunned.
It was so tight that they could feel the other person’s heavy breathing.
Isabe felt that Alexander was holding her like he was clinging to an oxygen tank for dear life in a
high- altitude area.
“What’s the matter?” Even Isabe, who was typically oblivious, could sense something was off.
“I want to hold you.” Alexander’s voice was deep, resonating with an irresistible allure within the
confines.
of the car.
Isabe was immediately swept up in a whirlwind of emotions.
Are you flirting with me? We’ve been sleeping in each other’s arms every day. I heard that when
you like someone, your heart tends to flutter unexpectedly now and then, urging you to get closer.
Could it be that I’m so charming? She giggled inwardly.
That almost naive inner thought tugged at Alexander’s lips,pelling him to smile helplessly.
“I want to hold you forever, never letting go,” he said.
Isabe was dumbfounded. Wow! The once cold and overbearing CEO sure warmed up to me
quickly. He’s note effortlessly whispering sweet nothings to me, leaving me utterly flustered.
If others were to hear her inner thoughts, they would probably think Isabe was ruining the
moment.
However, to Alexander, it was the most touching. Even though his cars gradually turned red in
embarrassment.
As always, Alexander didn’t require any response from Isabe. He wouldn’t put any pressure on
her. It was as if he was merely expressing his overflowing love before they continued their daily
routines.
He broke off the hug, stepped out of the car, and opened the door for his wife. Then, they went
shopping while gossiping.
Isabe only found the time to catch up on what happened next after they had selected the gifts and
sat down for a meal.
Wow! He took action! Damien hit Oliver, but he’s so sneaky, striking where others can’t see. Oliver
even cried in pain. It’s hrious. I bet Damien’s fists still contained some of his resentment. But
Ruby is such an ingrate! I can’t believe she sided with Oliver and hit her brother!
