Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 186 That Is Disgusting

Alexander lowered his gaze, truly unable to bear the sight any longer.

However, others didn't see it that way. How could they possibly know how humble Clifford's love was? They merely assumed that one of the women who happened to seduce Clifford bore a striking resemblance to Elaine. In an attempt to please Clifford, she deliberately mimicked Elaine, which was why everyone was quite dismissive of Zendaya.

Moreover, from the recent conversation, it was clear that he was only toying with her, so she couldn't be considered his girlfriend.

Naturally, this would lead to those sharing her table to resent her presence, not wanting to waste time on her.

Particularly among them was the man who sat in the center. Dressed in bespoke attire and adorned with accessories from exclusive auctions, he casually leaned back in his chair. His hair was slicked back, and his handsome features exuded a certain wildness. He had a habit of tilting his head back and looking down at people, an action that conveyed his sense of disdain.

"Clifford, it's fine to have fun, but don't get too invested. After all, most women are interested in money, and they would do anything for it," Josiah scoffed. "Be careful not to be fooled by a facade!"

The words were harsh, yet they only served to amuse Isabella further.

She thought, Hmm... Well, how can one argue that a salaried employee isn't working for the money? I find myself unable to refute this. Fine. Looking at Zendaya's expression, she seems completely at ease. She clearly thinks that Josiah is right in his comments about her. Upon understanding the full context of the situation and hearing Isabella's thoughts, Alexander felt as though constantly experiencing secondhand embarrassment was quickly becoming a chronic issue.

Josiah spoke directly to Zendaya, his intention to humiliate her was clear as day. Yet, the one who was visibly bothered wasn't Zendaya but Audrey, who was standing next to him.

Not only did her complexion darken, but her eyes reddened for a moment. The faces of others who were privy to what was really going on also changed accordingly.

After finishing his statement, Josiah even cast a glance at Audrey.

Isabella thought, Well, well, well, so they weren't talking about Zendaya after all! They're just making indirect criticism. True enough, the more you try to sort things out, the messier it gets. Not bad, Josiah. Does he really not realize he's cheating on his friend? Alexander almost spat out his drink, blown away by her revelation.

The gossip Isabella had initially spoken about was down to its last piece.

Was she talking about Josiah and Audrey when she mentioned the so-called ex-girlfriend-turned-sister-in-law and a broken relationship being mended? Has Josiah... gone out with dated Audrey before and is looking to reconcile?

Alexander realized that his memories were all in chaos.

Meanwhile, Isabella was thoroughly enjoying the gossip.
