Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 4 Cover Up

Hannah hadn't anticipated Alexander to really embarrass her on the spot, and her face turned ashen. She pursed her lips, looking aggrieved and pitiful as she cast a resentful look at Alexander, seemingly accusing him of being a heartbreaker. Joseph was absolutely livid on behalf of his beloved. "You're really going this far? It's nothing less than an insult to Ms. Gates' dignity!"

When faced with Alexander's suddenly icy demeanor and frosty gaze, Joseph couldn't help but lose his temper. He snapped, "If you can't find any evidence, you owe Ms. Gates an apology."

Although the others didn't voice their thoughts, their expressions clearly conveyed their discontent.

This incident had already garnered the attention of everyone in the corporation, with numerous executives gathering around.

After all, a highly skilled talent like Hannah was indeed quite important to the company.

They also thought that Alexander had lost his mind. After all, everyone within their circle knew that Alexander could do without Isabella, his wife, who was nothing but trouble and of no value. However, he absolutely couldn't do without Hannah. However, Isabella suspected that they only gathered around for the gossip.

It was pretty obvious judging from their curious, nosy gazes.

After all, one of the women involved was Alexander's wife in name, and the other was Hannah, who had been working under Alexander for some time despite his known indifference toward women.

People were probably so interested in the spectacle that they were placing bets on this battle.

Isabella, who had always been a mere spectator, never expected to become the subject of attention.

Turns out I'm the joker in this story!

With a gaze filled with resentment, Isabella could only glare fiercely at Alexander, who had his back facing her.

Alexander stood tall and straight, seemingly oblivious to Isabella's resentment, but in reality, he was annoyed by her constant nagging.

Has she always been like this?

Soon, the results of the investigation were revealed.

Without a doubt, there was absolutely no suspicion.

In a triumphant tone, Joseph asked, "Well? Alexander, are you still planning to cover up for Isabella?"
