Chapter 212 Your Plan Really Had Me Mentally Drained

This bizarre incident naturally provoked various expressions of disgust and astonishment.

Isabella spoke with such enthusiasm and interest, capturing the undivided attention of everyone else.

Interestingly, Roland and Clifford were rather restless, their eyes darting toward Josiah. Didn't Josiah mention something about borrowing money carlier? Could it really be such a coincidence?

At this point, Josiah was already feeing extremely uneasy. It wasn't because he thought Isabella was intentionally mocking him, but rather he began to doubt. If Isabella had heard about Dakota borrowing money despite not being a close friend, then....could it be true? "I heard she landed a big client today, which really saved her from a pressing situation. This must be the place. Isabella mused before turning to Josiah. "Ah, did your sister-in-law specifically ask for her? Did she happen to watch my show, liked my makeup, and approved of Dakota's skills? Well, I really owe her one."

Isabella wouldn't play favorites. If she was going to expose Josiah, she wouldn't spare Audrey either.

Josiah's face immediately turned a myriad of colors, his expression shifting constantly.

Right, Audrey sought Dakota out, and the latter was at the get-together too. Could everything be such a coincidence? I'm so confused, and I have this nagging feeling that something is off

"Yes, Audrey probably brought Dakota here to introduce her to more connections. Her boyfriend is useless, so she can only rely on her own'efforts to earn money."

Deborah nodded too as she planned to get acquainted with Dakota as well.

Josiah's face was already contorted with humiliation, and his fists were clenched tight.

Finally, curiosity got the better of Roland. "Do you know her?"

Clifford also found it extremely odd. "Your expression changed so dramatically. Don't tell me that Dakota just happens to be your girlfriend." This statement instantly silenced the entire table.

Everyone saw Josiah's eyes shift, yet he didn't deny anything. Gradually, everyone became astonished, their eyes widening in surprise.

The atmosphere instantly turned awkward. The people who had just been criticizing the se'm all looked at Isabella, at a loss for what to do.

Isabella quickly covered her mouth, nearly bursting into laughter. Then, she put on a surprised expression.

"It's you? No wonder everyone's been saying that Dakota's boyfriend is a freeloader. So it's been you all along, pretending to be poor to test her and living off her, huh?"

This statement was like a bolt from the blue. What was originally a friendly test game now felt completely different, as everyone at the table was naturally inclined to support their own friends
