Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind

Chapter 228 Outright Beating

→ Finished

The news came swiftly, partly due to the efficiency of Alexander's subordinates, but also because Ethan

on had few contacts after returning to his home country. He was almost idle, his time largely spent appeasing his girlfriend and her family or heading to a hotel with Sasha.

This kind of secret where a man sneaks off to a hotel room with another woman behind his girlfriend's back naturally caught the attention of the investigators first. After all, if Alexander wanted them to investigate someone, that likely meant they were supposed to be looking for dirt. Therefore, all hotel room records and surveillance footage were promptly sent over.

Hearing the truth from Isabella's thoughts and actually witnessing his own best friend being manipulated like this were two different things.

Involuntarily, Alexander let out a heavy sigh.

When Isabella saw Alexander engrossed in his phone, she couldn't help but lean in.

Although the videos weren't played, one could basically tell who it was just by looking at the thumbnail.

A surge of joy welled up in Isabella's heart.

Great, everything's going smoothly! Alexander, being so smart, must have figured it out, right?

After putting away his phone, Alexander turned to Roland and said, "Roland, I need to speak with your privately."

Taken aback, Roland noticed the rare serious expression on Alexander's face. Despite his confusion, he still rose to his feet.

The others looked at them curiously, asking if they had any secrets they couldn't share.

A straightforward reveal? I hope that Roland will be able to handle it later. Even though it isn't right to revel in others misfortunes, I'm genuinely curious about Roland's reaction. I would be great if I could watch it happen in person. Despite her usual brazenness, Isabella felt it inappropriate to follow them at that moment,

Alexander, who was about to get up and leave, paused for a moment before taking Isabella's hand.

Isabella was surprised.

"Let's go together," Alexander said.

Immediately, Isabella eagerly followed along.

The rest of the Quirk family watched in silent anticipation, their nerves taut. But soon, they were left speechless, for the involved parties had entered the room, so Isabella's thoughts were no longer audible to them. Meanwhile, Roland slightly furrowed his brows. Seeing Alexander's serious expression and Isabella's awkward demeanor, he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

"What do you want to tell me?" asked Roland.
