Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 183 Have They Been Struck By Lightning

Perhaps it was because Alexander's actions were too bizarre, but the bustling ballroom suddenly fell so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

The couple standing at the door was both familiar yet not.

It was the day of the get-together, so Isabella dolled up slightly before leaving home out of courtesy.

At that moment, she wore a sky-blue dress and had a white silk scarf around her neck. With her perfectly proportioned figure, even in such simple attire, she appeared as if she was ready to walk down a fashion runway.

Her hair was a mass of ebony waves, each strand seemingly gleaming as if they reflected light.

Overall, her light makeup accentuated the beauty of her natural features perfectly. Her ruby lips contrasted with her pearly white teeth, the curves of her body graceful.

Her shapely eyes were ebony and crystalline. Widened as saucers from her cheek being pinched, they rendered her even more charming and adorable.

Her ruby lips were slightly pouted, and she seemed surprised and angry at Alexander's action.

She was completely different from the time they met her two years ago. At that time, the gloominess that shrouded her face obscured her beauty, making her an unpleasant sight.

But right then, they finally understood why she could become an artist. With her face and figure alone, she was already more than qualified.

At the main table, a few individuals who didn't hold strong prejudices against Isabella made an unbiased comparison.

In terms of appearance, Isabella completely surpasses Eleanor, as far as we remember. And... how should we put it? Is it because she's too close to Alexander? Why does it feel like they make an even better match standing side by side than Alexander and Eleanor in the past?

Speaking of Alexander, his eyes were still as dark as night, his handsome features extraordinary. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit that perfectly encapsulated his physique, making him appear like a perfectly sculpted model.

Despite knowing he was taken, many of the girls present couldn't help but blush upon seeing the former heartthrob, a shy look creeping into their eyes.
