At the door, Josiah welcomed the two pairs-Aiden and Ines, and Clifford and Zendaya-one after another. Then, he
saw Roland arriving alone. The crowd couldn't help feeling curious.
"Aren't you two getting married soon? Why isn't she here? Is she afraid of hanging out with us?" Ines asked with
curiosity.
Roland answered, "She's frail and often feels unwell since she's pregnant, so I'd avoid having her move around
unless it's necessary.
Aiden jokingly said. "Well, all that matters is that she doesn't stand you up at the wedding. Hahaha."
Everyone started laughing, but at the stime, they noticed that Josiah wasn't in a good mood.
Just as they were about to ask something, Deborah and Damien arrived together in the scar. Even though
they were technically a family-to-be, it was rare to see them banded together.
"Wow, what brings you two here together today?" Clifford teased. "Where's your cousin?"
Damien replied, "The entertainment company project has started, so he doesn't have tto accompany
Deborah. | happened to be at my aunt's house, so | calong."
Deborah shrugged her shoulders. Upon seeing Roland, she said, "Oh right, the wedding ring you askedto
make previously is ready. You can pick it up from my shop later."
Roland nodded with a smile.
"Wow, so does that mean, Alexander is the only one among all of us who hasn't commissioned Deborah for a
piece of jewelry for his partner?" Ines chuckled. She had sought Deborah, the genius jewelry designer, to make
her couple rings, handcrafted using care materials and truly one of a kind.
"Hey, he's not the only one," stated the still-single Damien.
Aiden laughed, asking, "Do you even plan on falling in love in this lifetime?"
Damien was momentarily rendered speechless.
Deborah, however, suddenly spoke up. "Damien should be the only one left because Alexander commissioned
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and immediately pressed for more information.
Deborah wasn't one for gossip, so she couldn't quite give a good explanation and only critiqued Alexander's
demands.
"One that has investment value, made using the most expensive materials, and has to be the most valuable."
A twitch tugged at the corners of Roland's mouth. He had just customized a ring, after all. He had many ideas for
the ring's design concept, but cost was never a consideration for him.

"I've told him the sthing" Deborah, who was extremely passionate about jewelry design, was left speechless
at such a nouveau riche demand. "But he insisted that Isabella likes it this way." Although everyone expressed
considerable doubt, they didn't dwell too much on the issue. After all, the news of the engagement ring itself was
already too much for them to digest.
This once again proved that Alexander's feelings for Isabella were real. Otherwise, considering the kind of person
he was and their relationship back then, he would've simply purchased a ring from a jewelry store rather than
going out of his way to have Deborah design one.
After all, the idea of commissioning Deborah to design jewelry for their significant other was merely a joke made
in jest during a casual drinking session with friends back in university.
The fact that Alexander had chosen to abide by this agreement was truly an amusing thought.
"That's great, with Roland and Alexander, we'll make three pairs in our group. We're safe," Ines said with a
smile.
"Huh?" Roland didn't catch Qn.
Aiden chuckled. "Didn't Clifford and Josiah both commission jewelry from Deborah before? They ended. up
breaking up, so my honey is worried." Deborah looked at Ines speechlessly.
Ines stuck out her tongue, which immediately drew a glare from Clifford. He certainly didn't want anyone
bringing up matters about his ex-girlfriend.
At the side, Zendaya pretended not to hear anything, as she was reminded how Clifford would sometimes make
her wear a specific pair of earrings when he had her impersonate his first crush to go on a date. She figured that
must be the reason why he did that. As for Josiah, who had been in low spirits all along, suddenly froze, and as if
recalling something, he appeared a little uneasy.
He had also once approached Deborah to customize a necklace, intended as a gift for Audrey. As long as she
wore it, it would essentially beca public declaration of their secret relationship among their circle of friends.
Sadly, before the necklace was crafted, she bechis sister-in-law,
By the the received the necklace, he was so furious he intended to destroy it. However, it just so happened
to coincide with Audrey's birthday. Naturally, he didn't plan to get her a birthday gift, and neither did he want to
see her.
Despite so, he had no choice. His family was upset with him for ignoring his sister-in-law, so he gave Audrey the
necklace as a birthday gift partly out of spite. He wanted Audrey to know what she had missed out on in pursuit
of money. He thought that mocking her and putting her in torment would bring him satisfaction.
However, he was so affected by this incident that particular day that he overlooked something....

Meanwhile, Isabella, who was secretly enjoying the gossip upstairs, was so mad she was cursing inwardly
Downstairs, the Quirks were all somewhat shocked upon hearing Isabella's outburst. They thought it was a
known fact that Josiah was pretending to be poor so that he could depend on his girlfriend and wondered if there
was something more outrageous that happened. The bracelet Dakota cherishes in much is actually made from
the leftover materials of a gift for Audrey, so it isn't even worth a fraction of the original necklace. They were
dating of that time! Though they just got together, dating means they have feelings for each other, right? You're
chrzy for doing to many things to test her out, but what do you mean by Kiving her a bracelett
Alexander felt a little guilty. When he first saw it, he found it odd that a makeup artist would have a bracelet of
the smaterial. Even though it was a complimentary gift, it was still a custom-made one.
Upon hearing that Dakota was Josiah's girlfriend, he should have made sconnections. However, with so
much happening at that moment, he overlooked it.
Only now did it cto mind.
Do you think you have an ercase for forgetting that it was your girlfriend's birthday the next day just because
you were in a bad mood that day? You didn't prepare any gifts but recalled you left the bracelet that came
together with the necklace in the car, so you used that as a birthday gift to brush Dakota off Doesn't your
conscience bother you at all?
Alexander was quite speechless, feeling that it might have been better not to give the gift at all.
He simply couldn't comprehend Josiah's way of thinking, wondering if the latter knew his actions were belittling
and insulting to Dakota.
No, | got it wrong. You don't even have a conscience. You didn't even feel guilty for giving Dakota that gift.
Instead, you think it was out of her league to receive a gift of that value. You lied to her that the bracelet was
only a thousand bucks because you feared that she would covet vanity and doubt your identity. In your eyes, she
only deserves to wear jewelry that worth a thousand bucks. I'm afraid you're oblivious, but if she didn't have to
support an ingrate like you, she could have easily bought herself many of such jewelry to please herself!
Alexander sighed silently. He, too, started to doubt Josiah's so-called affection.
What's even more infuriating is that you even made Dakota pity you, thinking that you forced yourself to fork out
a thousand bucks to buy her the bracelet when you're broke. She was under the impression that you secretly
took on temporary jobs to save up for it. Not only did she treat you even better because of it, but she also
cherished that bracelet like a prized possession. You're a f¥cking bestard! Why did lightning not strike you? How
on earth did a man like you end up with a girlfriend like Dakota? What heinous crimes did Dakota commit in her
past life to deserve this?
Every tIsabella thought of how Dakota treasured that bracelet, she would be so frustrated that her head
buzzed.
You were so generous when you were dating Audrey, but when you're with Dakota, you're so stingy. You must
think she's not good enough for you, huh? Why don't you fight for Audrey, then? She's been dropping so many
hints to Dakota, desperately trying to flaunt your love for her. How can you let her down? You two shameless
beings are truly a match made in heaven! Genuinely worried that Isabella might be too agitated. Alexander lifted
his hand and gently patted her head to soothe her. He couldn't help but inwardly lament Josiah and Audrey for
their underhanded

It took quite a while before Isabella could bring herself to look at the screen again. She felt a pang of sympathy.
After all, Dakota was not only dealing with the shock of the bracelet matter but also grappling with the truth
about Josiah and Audrey Dakota could barely stand, stumbling backward repeatedly as she stared at Audrey in
utter disbelief.
