Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 10 Darn It

The Quirk family seems to have no clue about safeguarding their interests. Aren't wealthy and influential families supposed to be shrewd and cunning? Yet here they are, naive and gullible, easily manipulated by a cocky man. Members of the Quirk family felt attacked by Isabella's thoughts.

I am particularly disappointed with Alexander. Shouldn't a tycoon like him have been able to strategize? He seemed so astute before!

Alexander was rendered speechless. How could he have discerned another person's most deep thoughts? Only Isabella could have done so with the system.

He had always thought that Jasper was nothing special, but his older sister liked him. They might not have been a loving couple, but Jasper never really did anything to harm his sister, except for today's incident. He never interfered in his siblings' lives, at most offering a word or two of advice. Little did he know that there were so many hidden troubles within.

Isabella had indulged in too much gossip that she felt sick. Finally, she put down the utensils.

No way, this is too infuriating, I should step in and 'turn a blind eye' this time. Though I can't reveal the secret I've discovered, I can stir things up a bit. Watch me find a way to disrupt this ill-fated relationship.

Alexander watched the 'troublemaker' deep in thought, a twitch playing at the corner of his mouth. I should let her be.

Alexander composed himself and said outright, "Evie, our family's stance remains the same we hope for you to get a divorce. If you choose not to, it will be a disgrace for us. Consequently, we will sever all ties with the Lawson family in all future matters." The Quirk family soon grasped that Alexander was essentially setting a trap to test, aiming to see if Jasper was truly after power and influence.

Even though Alexander had complete faith in Isabella's words, others remained somewhat skeptical, after all, the original intentions of Jasper were no longer verifiable. This could be seen as Alexander helping Isabella to prove to everyone.

It also urged Sienna to keep her eyes wide open.

"What are you implying!" Paula was immediately frantic, quickly turning her gaze toward David and Selena.

David stated bluntly, "In the Quirk family, Alexander is now the head. Whatever he decides, goes."

Jasper's expression shifted dramatically, his face quickly filling with a mix of embarrassment and anger, as if he'd been humiliated. the Quirk family members initially thought that Isabella had made an incorrect assumption. However, they soon sensed that something was subtly amiss.

Only Paula was in a state of utmost distress. She pleaded with Evian, "Listen to what your brother is saying. He doesn't even consider you as family! And what you're doing is forcing our family into a dead end, with no descendants to carry on our lineage! If you can give birth to a child, then we wouldn't have to be in this situation!"

These words were hard to swallow. Selena's face darkened instantly. Without any hesitation, she stepped forward, pulling her daughter back to sit by her side.

"So now, you can just have your son find another wife. No one's stopping him from having as many kids as he wants. He could even bring back the mother of this child. What's the matter? Are you all so opposed to divorcing my daughter?" Quickly, Paula pulled her son, Jasper, to her side. As Jasper looked at Alexander, a frown creased his forehead, just as he was about to speak.
