Chapter 63 Men Like Him Should Be Buried Finished

Isabella, by her nature, was not inclined to rashly leap into situations where she might end up playing the role of a hero, especially if it could lead to her own humiliation. Wouldn't that turn into a rather ironic situation?

Before she decided to take any action, Isabella turned to Alexander in a subdued voice and queried, "Are you the boss of this entire mall?"

Alexander, visibly caught off guard by the question, responded with a hesitant, "Yes."

Isabella pressed on, "So, does that mean I have free reign here?"

Alexander gave a vague affirmation. "More or less."

Her next question was bold. "Should I go ahead and take that dress?"

It seemed Alexander had an inkling about what Isabella was contemplating. Without hesitation, he grabbed his phone and swiftly sent a message to his assistant.

In truth, Alexanders under the impression that if Isabella didn't make her move quickly, the

couple lingering behind him might lose their patience. It was hard to fault them, as everyone in his family had a notoriously warm heart.

When Isabella suddenly burst out shouting, even Alexander could sense the palpable sigh of resignation from those behind him. The onlookers ahead, startled by her outburst, turned around, their faces marked with disbelief as if they hadn't expected someone to emerge. Jessica, observing Isabella's somewhat

confused demeanor, couldn't immediately grasp the reason behind it. Her realization dawned only when she saw Evian, the compassionate hospital director who had been a comforting presence during her solitary hospital stays, now smiling and waving in the distance. It o Despite the slight embarrassment of being seen in such an unkempt state by people she knew, Jessica understood that they were present to lend their support.

Jennie, on the other hand, was perplexed as she observed Isabella, uncertain of her intentions. Does she know Jessica? Is she here to help her?

"Are they your friends, Jessica?" Jennie asked tentatively.

Jessica responded with a straightforward, "I don't know them," leaving Jennie momentarily speechless as she turned back to Isabella.

Upon closer inspection, Jennie was struck by a sudden recognition, although all online photos of Isabella were heavily styled professional model shots which made her look quite different in her natural, makeup-free state. Presently, she looked exceptionally vibrant and youthful, more akin to a lively university campus belle rather than the celebrities she resembled in her professional photographs.
