Chapter 207 The Voice Of An Incubus

Upon hearing Audrey's words, both Isabella and Alexander, who were cavesdropping, were taken aback.

They all knew the reason, and logically speaking, Audrey should have been the one most afraid to voice it, much less at the Hampton manor. What was Audrey really up to?

Inside. Dakota was taken aback. Initially, she thought Audrey had come to dissuade her on behalf of the Hampton family, a common scenario in prominent families. Yet, she was confused about what Audrey was referring to. "What?" Dakota had actually stopped caring about the reasons or lack thereof and was just shocked by Audrey's actions,

A glint flashed across Audrey's eyes and she said resignedly, "Actually, it's because of his ex-girlfriend. She chose a more suitable marriage partner for the sake of her family's future, abandoning the love and relationship they shared. She wronged him but still loved him. His heartache was because he loved his ex-girlfriend too deeply and couldn't accept the end of their relationship.

Alexander furrowed his brows in contemplation, his line of thought similar to Isabelle's.

Previously, Dakota had merely thought it was some kind of dare some silver-spooned kids came up with,

Yet, Dakota finally understood the reason she was treated as such was actually due to another woman.

She couldn't determine which was more devastating.

Maybe Audrey is just trying to show off subtly? Isabella couldn't help but check. She's so calculating Audrey must be worried that Dakota is a hopeless romantic and will insist on staying with Josiah even if deceived. Hence, the best way to deal with a hopeless romantic is to hit them where it hurts the most.

As Isabella expected, she could tell that Dakota was greatly distressed even through the phone screen.

For Dakota, that was even more insulting than mere deception. It was a mockery of her love.
