"Eleanor had no ulterior motives and simply wanted to clear things up with you and resolve your inner turmoil,"

Lily agitatedly stated.

Everyone turned their attention to the cell phone, which was showing Eleanor's email inbox.

They saw a reply from Alexander's email address: This is Isabella, Mrs. Quirk. My husband has askedto

handle this email. Ms. Smith. | would rather you not meet with my husband again. Please refrain from contacting

him. Everyone's eyes widened instantly, though not because they had an issue with Isabella replying like that as

Mrs. Quirk.

As Alexander's wife, being wary of her husband's ex was cert

justified.

However, that was Alexander's personal email account. He was a man who greatly valued his privacy and

personal boundaries. They believed there was no way he would've allowed others to use his email address.

After all, Isabella and Alexander were not exactly the picture-perfect couple who trusted each other

wholeheartedly. At least, that was why the others thought.

Hence, they assumed Isabella must have stumbled upon the email by accident and secretly sent that email -to

deal with a love rival.

Everyone turned their attention to Isabella.

Isabella had already risen to her feet and stared straight at Lily's phone.

Everyone felt embarrassed on behalf of Isabella. They assumed Isabella probably didn't expect her act would be

publicly exposed by Lily in front of Alexander.

When they turned to Alexander, they saw his expression stiffening.

Immediately, they concluded their speculation was correct and that Alexander had no idea Eleanor contacted

him.

Seeing Isabella's reaction, Lily turned to Alexander, saying, "Is your current cold and indifferent attitude. toward

Eleanor because Isabella spun ssort of lie to make you misunderstand what happened, just like this hidden

email? If you really have any resentment toward Eleanor, speak up openly. Confront it face to face!"

Lily couldn't believe that Alexander would treat Eleanor that way unless someone was stirring up trouble and

causing Alexander to misunderstand Eleanor. She couldn't think of any other reason.

Actually, Eleanor felt the sway. Isabella had once resorted to any means necessary to win over Alexander.

Given Alexander's attitude toward her, Eleanor was confident Isabella must have been up to something again!

Upon hearing that, everyone was momentarily taken aback.

Just moments ago, they found Alexander's attitude toward Eleanor utterly incredulous. Although they had. once

fantasized about the two rekindling an old flame, based on their understanding of Alexander's character, they

knew that regardless of how he felt, he would still maintain a friendly demeanor when the two met again.

Yet, at that moment, Alexander was utterly indifferent toward Eleanor. Even after finding out the truth. about the

past, he remained unmoved. That led everyone to imagine ssort of cliché misunderstanding must've

happened.

was

Naturally, their prsuspect behind the misunderstand one other than Isabella.

Once again, they aimed their gazes at Isabella.

Isabella was stunned while Alexander remained silent.

The couple's reaction led Lily and Eleanor to believe their plan had been successful, that they had exposed

Isabella, revealing the conspiracy to Alexander. Ife should've used this against Isabella earlier since it's so

effective!

Smugly. Lily turned to Isabella and said fiercely, "Don't think you're so special just because you have at marriage

certificate. Everyone knows how you got the position of Mrs. Quirk. In romance, the one who isn't loved is the

mistress. All your manipulations and tricks are useless!" Roland finally couldn't help but cough and say, "Lily,

you've had too much to drink! What nonsense are you spouting?

"What's wrong with using stactics to protect your own marriage?" Ines couldn't help but comment. It

Want so much in defense of Isabella but merely a critique of Lily's argument.

Aiden nodded, saying, "You're right, Honey."

As a complete bystander, Zendaya watched everything unfold silently, feeling hurt for her idol. She didn't know

Justice Upholder, who provided support and protection for many innocent women on stage, turned out to have a

marriage fraught with issues. They're all clearly bullying Isabella. Indeed, so-called high society folks seemed to

have a weak sense of morality! "A mistress is still a mistress."

"What are you mumbling about?" Clifford instantly shot Zendaya a displeased look, not allowing her to express

her personality.

Zendaya could only keep quiet.

Damien and Deborah, who had previously been quite interested in watching the unfold and were curious

about what choice Alexander would make, didn't expect the scene to turn out so ugly. They both felt some

sympathy for Isabella, who was suddenly exposed. It seemed as if they were looking at a pitiful woman who was

struggling to keep her marriage afloat.

"I thought you had changed, but it turns out you haven't." Josiah would seize any opportunity to express his

displeasure.

Just as he ended his sentence, he suddenly felt a gaze coming from the direction of the main entrance.

Although everyone was focusing on the , the presence of that gaze was particularly intense to him.

Suddenly, Josiah turned around, but all he saw were servers bustling in and out. Immediately, he felt at sense of

emptiness in his heart. He had initially intended to badmouth Isabella a bit, but he suddenly lost the mood. He

thought of Dakota, who had mentioned that she had work tonight. At that moment, he wondered if she had

eaten yet.

While Josiah was suddenly distracted, everyone else continued to engage in the .

"Isabella, how could you do such a thing? Ah, Alexander, don't be mad at Isabella. Still, this is rather unfair to

Eleanor. Maybe you should apologize?" Audrey suggested insincerely.

"No need. It's my fault. | shouldn't have reached out to Alexander. Isabella, you did the right thing Eleanor's

voice was hoarse, laced with a hint of sobbing as she addressed Isabella. "I did as you said and haven't

contacted Alexander again. However, this is a get- together. | didn't want to cinitially, but it's been so long

since I've met everyone, and | miss them. That's why I'm here. You don't have to concern yourself with what Lily

said. It's all in the past."

"Eleanor, you're just too kindhearted, | don't know what this woman has been doing behind you two's backs to

deepen the misunderstanding between you two!" Lily seemed to have already concluded that

I was indeed the truth.

My mother tongue is silence, but isn't their acting a bit too cressive? much as | enjoy gossip, it's no longer fun

when I'm the main subject! thought Isabella,

Snapping back to reality from the immense shock and embarrassment, Alexander found himself in an

embarrassing situation he had never experienced in his life. He felt as if his entire body was ablaze.

He realized he couldn't comprehend the inner workings of a woman's mind because he had not anticipated the

email would be used to target Isabella.

At that moment, he truly understood what embarrassment meant.

Just as he was about to stand up and clarify things, he heard Isabella's inner voice ranting wildly. | don't even

need to investigate to know that they fabricated this to setup. They're really determined to win over

Alexander, Alexander remarked in his mind, Um, actually it's not.

Isabella continued, I'll make sure the two of them regret slandering me! Now, letthink about how | should

teach them a lesson!

Mentally. Alexander commented, No need. I'll do it.

The edge of Isabella's lips curved upward slightly. Wait a minute! I'm at a disadvantage if | strike back! After all,

in this web of relationships, if | retaliate without Alexander's support, I'll just end up being the laughingstock!

That's it! Isn't this an opportunity? | can feebly deny my involvement later, and Alexander surely won't easily

believe me, especially since they've put on such a convincing show. Then, | can argue with Alexander and the

others, blowing a small issue out of proportion! It'll eventually spiral out of control, and then / can... Hehehe....

Alexander resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Yes, | suppose it is indeed an opportunity!

Suddenly, Isabella rose to her feet with determination.

However, before she could even speak, Alexander also stood up. He stretched his arm and pulled Isabella:

into his embrace.
