Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 271 Secret Affair Finished

"That's Lydia," Alexander introduced quietly, his head kept low as Isabella held onto his arm. It was only after Isabella had seen the person in question and learned her name that she could comfortably observe her. This had led Alexander to develop a habit of clearly introducing important figures to Isabella whenever they met. Everything was done to help his wife enjoy any gossip there was.

Lydia was a formidable businesswoman. During David's reign, he had collaborated with her extensively. Now, thanks to Alexander's competence, David had retired early to enjoy his golden years. The one collaborating with Lydia now was Alexander. Therefore, both parties were quite familiar with each other..

Apart from Howard, who was almost just like a wallpaper, there were also members of the Carney family standing nearby. They were all partners, and they greeted each other warmly as soon as they met.

Damien stayed by Lydia's side, assisting her in entertaining the guests, while Deborah had already retreated to the back, making sure not to appear before the engagement party began.

Logically speaking, Oliver should have been here.

However, everyone knew that guy was a notorious troublemaker, so no one bothered to ask why he was absent.

Without their input, all Isabella could do was to sit back and watch.

Isabella: It's pretty funny. Anyone who didn't know better would think Damien was the star of the show today. Let's see... Oh God, I think I'm going to be sick.

Though they were making small talk, the Quirk family members silently eavesdropping. They knew that being with her would definitely lead to some juicy gossip.

What's wrong? Is he thinking of causing at such an important event? Is he late? Is he not coming? Or could it be something else?

Isabella: Even after being threatened like that, Oliver and Ruby still have the nerve to continue their secret affair. It's as if they're blatantly disregarding the consequences. Is this a deliberate act of defiance against Damien, or are they intentionally trying to embarrass Deborah?

Upon hearing this news, the Quirks were thoroughly disgusted.

Dad looked at Lydia with pity.

Selena cast a sympathetic gaze toward Damien.

Evian stared up into the sky, let out a long sigh, and whipped out her phone to share the latest gossip with her younger siblings.

Isabella: Maybe I should find an opportunity to catch them in the act? Hmm... Never mind. Deborah's aware of the truth but is acting as if she doesn't know anything. She even just wants the engagement party to go smoothly. Oliver might've sounded harsh, but he plans to handle it discreetly. should refrain from meddling in, to avoid getting entangled in this mess. I should just aim to get through the day peacefully.
