Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind

Chapter 246 Is She Swearing An Oath Finished

Wow, straightforwardness, that's quite an unusual strategy. They're treating Zendaya as if she's a scheming and pretentious b*tch, forcing her to make her stance clear and leaving her with no way out! Indeed, that was what Millie had in mind.

She firmly believed that Zendaya had feelings for Clifford. After all, this humble girl had been by Clifford's side for so long, willingly playing the role of a rebound. There was no way she didn't develop any feelings for him.

Yet, her question would have only deepened the rift between Zendaya and Clifford if Zendaya said she wasn't interested in him to save her face. If Zendaya admitted that she had intended to get back with Clifford, it would only prove that all her previous actions were nothing but a performance, a sign of cunningness. She would offend many people in one fell swoop, and Clifford wouldn't like such a woman.

Thus, what seemed like a nonsensical and even unreasonable question was actually the most effective way to deal with scheming b*tches,

But, the precondition is that Zendaya actually likes Clifford and truly wishes to return to his side.

Isabelle silently complained.

Upon hearing Millie's question, everyone's interest was instantly piqued.

After all, the rebound had been the woman who stayed by Clifford's side for the longest time. They also felt that Clifford still cared about Zendaya.

Initially, Clifford was upset due to Millie's thoughtless remarks. After all, he wanted to gradually push Zendaya to acknowledge her own feelings and submit to him, rather than directly pressuring her to respond.

If by chance she still held a grudge and said she didn't want to return to his side, wouldn't that just complicate things further?

After some thought, he was somewhat moved. Perhaps, in the end, Zendaya won't be able to resist her love for me, willingly abandon all her dignity, and risk offending everyone to admit that she wants to return to my side. That thought greatly satisfied his vanity. Clifford had already begun to imagine, how he would respond if Zendaya answered in such a way. He would definitely agree but wouldn't show her a pleasant expression. He couldn't let her be smug and complacent, he needed to keep her in check.

A smirk was playing at the corners of Clifford's lips. He couldn't help but add, "Millie, what nonsense are you spouting? It isn't easy to return to my side once you've left." He raised an eyebrow at Zendaya.

Meanwhile, Millie felt that Clifford didn't really care much about the rebound either.

At that moment, Zendaya was utterly frustrated.

What on earth is this? How did she even come up with such a question? I would've kept my distance had / known my idiot of an ex-boss was coming. How unlucky! Indeed, my ex-boss had always had a habit of making assumptions, presuming I was in love with him, even though I had repeatedly clarified otherwise. Yet, it was as if he couldn't comprehend the human language and refused to believe me, completely immersed in his own world. Earning money is anneth.
