Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 6 The Gossip System And The Mind Reading Skill

Isabella had transmigrated three days ago because of the grim reaper's mistake. Given that she was an orphan, her body was quickly dealt with, making resurrection impossible.

In an attempt to make up for his work blunder, the grim reaper rewarded her with a transmigration trip.

Hence, Isabella inherited the memories of the original owner of her current body and assumed her identity.

The original owner was a delicate and pampered young lady. Her parents died in an unexpected accident and, on their deathbeds, they entrusted their only daughter to the Quirk family, worried that she'd be bullied by their relatives.

The Quirks, feeling sorry for her plight, took her in and loved her like their own.

However, the original owner, having experienced a tragedy, became paranoid and sensitive. She never opened up to the Quirks and became a gloomy oddball. Nevertheless, she fell in love with Alexander at first sight. Worried that she would have no other reason to stay with the Quirks after her university graduation, she made her move on Alexander.

After getting Alexander drunk and sleeping with him, they were caught in the act, and Alexander despised her for what she did. However, seeing her teetering on the brink of death, he had no choice but to take responsibility and reluctantly married her.

Following the distressing incident, she wallowed in despair and shut herself away for several days. Ultimately, her heart gave out abruptly due to the overwhelming stress.

That was when Isabella transmigrated, changing her face and her name almost instantly.

Isabella didn't want to assume the role of a resentful wife. Even though Alexander is handsome and wealthy, what's the point if I can't touch him? I don't want to live like a widow. I've never even touched a man in my previous life, so in this life, I have to make up for that regret. It's fine that he doesn't like me, though. I can extort a huge sum of money from him when he divorces me, so that wealth will be the least of my worries for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, the grim reaper told her that unless Alexander initiated the divorce, Isabella could not divorce on behalf of the original owner. This was her so-called destiny, for the original owner would never divorce Alexander.

When Isabella expressed her displeasure, the grim reaper gave her another compensatory gift-the Gossip System.

The Gossip System was a buff capable of unearthing people's secrets which greatly satisfied Isabella's curiosity.

Thinking back, Isabella realized that as long as she didn't do anything foolish, life in the Quirk manor wouldn't be too bad. She would be free, wealthy, and have a husband who was rarely home, which was quite a comfortable life. If she ever ended up cheating on Alexander, she could blame it on Alexander for failing to fulfill his duties as a husband.

However, she hadn't expected her opportunity to arrive so swiftly.

This incident easily led to a divorce, which was exactly what she wanted.

But now...

It was already evening when they left the police station, and Alexander led Isabella toward the car, ready to head home.

The eerie silence in the car was almost unbearable.
