Chapter 117 Plagued By Despicable Ment
A twitch tugged at the corner of Isabella’s mouth. She was beyond the point of arguing about the “Justice Upholder” nickname.
I thought it was just an internet joke, but to my surprise, the elegant Mrs. Gonzales actually took it seriously. Doesn’t she feel the least bit embarrassed uttering those words? I’m so mortified that I wish I could disappear. This is utterly absurd.
In her mind, Isabella was wildly complaining, yet she kept her face composed. Little did she know, because of her silent rant, Selena and Rosalie, who were just about to enter the room, suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Of all the Quirks, the two of them had the most free time on their hands. Out of sheer curiosity about how Alexander and Isabella were getting along at the company, they decided to sneak a peek. However, upon arrival, they learned that the couple were not in the office. Left with no other choice, they decided to rest here for a while.
Surprisingly, upon arrival, they stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip.
The two exchanged a glances In each other’s eyes, they could see their reflections. With a fisherman’s hat, sunglasses, and something to conceal their faces, they believed sneaking in wouldn’t pose a problemt.
While Isabella and Ruth were engrossed in conversation, the two of them slipped in unnoticed. They quickly found a secluded booth to conceal themselves and sat down to secretly eavesdrop.
“Mrs. Gonzales, are you joking with me?” Isabella responded with a forced laugh.
With a sharp look in her eyes, Ruth retorted, “Of course not. Didn’t you do well with the first two groups?/1 believe that you’re a person with a strong sense of justice, Ms. Jeannet, so you would certainly not tolerate such shameless and immoral individuals.”
In truth, Ruth felt that even if she hadn’t sought out Isabella today, following the usual approach of Team. A–list, regardless of whether it was for their own popularity or whatever else, they would certainly seize the homewrecker’s weak point, delivering a fatal blow on stage.
That homewrecker was just too alluring and adept at seducing men. After each incident, she would lay low for a while but would always find a way to resurface.
So, this time, they approached Isabella seeking a collaboration, aiming to eliminate future troubles.
“As long as you’re willing to cooperate, we will take care of everything,” said Ruth, her gaze fixed on Isabella, exerting an overwhelming presence.
Isabella asked curiously. “What are your plans?”
Ruth slightly furrowed her brows, probably because Isabella’s nonchalant attitude had left her somewhat
discontented.
“Even though the face–off is decided by drawing lots, with the five of us putting pressure together, the production team will obediently let your two groups compete first.”
“I’ll suggest the topic. Let’s settle on: ‘woman“”

Then you all can just act out this so–called ‘close female confidant‘ as nothing more than a shameless woman who tempts other people’s husbands. Don’t try to beautify such despicable behavior by calling it a close female confidant. Those who destroy families should face retribution, and that’s the effect we should aim for.”
“When the time comes, we’ll stir things up online, build momentum, and make her utterly infamous!”
Ruth’s tone was dripping with jealousy and resentment, as if she had reached the end of her patience. The others also wore expressions of malice on their faces.
Selena and Rosalie were taken aback, whispering among themselves in surprise. Were they really going to take things that far?
“Could it be that the concerns of the netizens about this show fave actually come true?” Rosalie exclaimed. in shock. “Weren’t Mrs. Gonzales and Ms. Yancey getting along just fine before? How did it suddenly…
Recently, Selena had also been keeping a close watch on the situation. Hence, she had a rough idea about the relationship between Gordon and Rebecca.
Due to the TV series Tales of Cleopatra, Gordon, who played Julius Caesar, and Rebecca, who portrayed Cleopatra, once became the center of online discussions.
Everyone was speculating whether Gordon, known for his wife–loving persona, would end up entangled in a scandal like the other men who had worked with Rebecca.
In truth, everything had been fine until the TV series wrapped up, with no scenes captured that could arouse any suspicion.
“Judging by Mrs. Gonzales‘ sudden change in demeanor, something must have gone wrong,” said Selena, her brow furrowed in concern.
“So… did Ms. Yancey really seduce Mr. Gonzales and get caught by Mrs. Gonzales?” Rosalie asked in shock. D*mn, that’s harsh. If I didn’t know better, I’d think that Ms. Yancey really did try to seduce your husband. Selena and Rosalie thought, Isn’t that the case? Why else would Mrs. Gonzales suddenly lose her temper? Isn’t it just that your husband wants a divorce from you?
Hearing that, Selena and Rosalie understood. Ah, so he actually wants to divorce her? No wonder…
Have you forgotten? It’s because of you that he holds the position he does today.
Upon hearing this, Selena and Rosalie widened their eyes in shock. As it turned out, the seasoned actor had also built his fortune by relying on a woman, and instead of being grateful, he wanted a divorce.
If you can’t bear it, you should blacklist your husband and make him come to his senses.
Almost bursting into laughter, Selena and Rosalie had to quickly suppress their amusement. Yet, they couldn’t help but want to give Isabella a big thumbs up
Why is it that women, when faced with such situations, confront other women first instead of dealing with the man involved? The problem needs to be addressed at its root, sister
Unable to resist, Selena and Rosalie nodded in agreement. Indeed, what Isabella said was right!

After a wave of internal criticism, Isabella found that the other party was still talking.
“This must be pretty straightforward for you, almost identical to the first group’s situation,” Ruth said Coldly.
Isabella found herself feeling somewhat sympathetic for Ruth from a certain perspective. Raising an eyebrow, she said. “For the first group, we only acted that way because we already knew the whole truth. but now… I have
no idea what’s going on. You claim that Rebecca is the other woman. Is there any proof?”
Come on, have you even considered whether you have any proof? If you’re going to confront someone, could you at legst not jump to conclusions?
“Are you rejecting us, Ms. Jeannet? Are you intending to assist that vixen?” Ruth immediately asked with a
stern tone.
Isabella answered with a smile, “At the end of the day, I can’t possibly scheme against someone just based on a single comment from you, can I?”
Are you kidding me? You’re trying to use me as a pawn, but do I look like one to you? Just because I’m now seen as the Justice Upholder for the entertainment industry, it seems like evidence isn’t necessary. A casual remark from me could ruin someone’s life. I won’t carry such a burden of consequence lightly.
Upon hearing this, both Selena and Rosalie instantly became discontented.
Their Isabella wasn’t just a pawn. This band of wives wished to stay behind the scenes, looking pretty. But what if, in the end, Rebecca managed to prove her innocence and turn the tables? Wouldn’t Isabella’s reputation end up being ruined, leaving her honor in tatters?
entertainment industry! What more proof do you need?”
Ruth looked at Isabella as if she were observing an unreasonable, biased troublemaker.
Isabella was quite speechless. The question “Did you hear her say that yourself?” remained unspoken on the tip of her tongue. She had this nagging feeling that if she voiced it out, it would inevitably lead to a bout of commotion.
In reality, it was your husband who pursued her. She, burdened with the necessity of continuing her live broadcasts and relying on him for the team competition, subtly expressed, I won’t be the other woman. She knew your husband rose to his status because of you and assumed he wouldn’t dare to leave you. However, your husband believes he’s deeply in love and intends to divarce you so he can legitimize their relationship.
Judging by Ruth’s demeanor, she wasn’t one to analyze right from wrong. The moment Gordon decided to
