Isabella, along with Selena and Rosalie, all empathized with Rebecca’s situation.

However, seeing the online attitude toward Rebecca really left one confused. Without realizing it, one could easily be swayed into adopting the same viewpoint as everyone else.
The men joked about her sexy physique and enchanting face. Eight out of ten comments were laced with risqué humor, yet they insisted it wasn’t meant to disrespect her. They claimed that it was their way of praising Rebecca, as if it was something she should be proud of.
They even went as far as arguing with other women over Rebecca, creating tension between the sexes. However, this kind of protection felt truly uncomfortable.
The women were divided into two factions. One group like Ruth and her ilk, scoffed and scorned Rebecca, acting as if they had seen with their own eyes how she shamelessly flirted with men. They were worried that the “filthy woman” would go after their idols next. The other group consisted of the genuine mistresses, who admired Rebecca’s situation and took her as a role model. They were referred to deluded fans with warped values, just like Rebecca.

Only a select few genuinely admired Rebecca’s beauty and acknowledged her professional acting skills.
In such an intense situation, Isabella found it all too overwhelming. The netizens she once thought were cute and fun now seemed to take on a frightening demeanor.
Indeed, only the truly ruthless are able to survive in the entertainment industry despite scandals and controversies.
Isabella had no intention of prying too much into others private affairs. At most, she would just enjoy the show from the sidelines.
Thus, she stopped there for now.
She lifted her gaze, only to find the group of ladies across her still watching her intently, awaiting her
response.
Women should naturally have an easier time understanding the struggles faced by other women. However, some women often end up becoming accomplices to men in oppressing their fellow women.
“Have you seen clearly now? You understand what kind of person she is, right?”
Isabella nodded hastily, understanding the situation very clearly.
Ruth assumed that Isabella had agreed, and thus she declared with a sense of righteousness, “We need to remove her, to restore peace within the entertainment Industry!”
After some thought, Isabella asked, “Aren’t you afraid that this might ruin Mr. Gonzales too? After all, what we did before was… a complete wipeout.”
Ruth’s face changed instantly as she declared, “Of course not! I will find a way to reveal this wretch’s true colors to my husband. She’s the one seducing him; my husband is simply holding true to his heart!”
Isabella couldn’t help but smirk, saying, “Doesn’t a man who’s ready to divorce you for another woman mean he’s already fallen out of love with you? And yet, you still want him?”

grown deep over the years. I can’t abandon him just because he’s momentarily lost his way. I need to him. You don’t need to concern yourself with this. Just focus on doing what we’ve asked of you.”
Isabella shrugged, revealing a grin. “I refuse.”
What?” Ruth probably didn’t that after all their talking, this so–called champion of jus
Justice Upholder, would actually refuse.
The other ladies immediately blew up.
“Have you considered the consequences of rejecting us?”
“Do you really think you’re such a big deal? That we actually came here to beg you?”
the
“What an audacious young lady who doesn’t know her place! Don’t you plan on sticking around in the entertainment–industry?”
“Stop wasting your breath on her; let’s go talk to the man behind her. She’s nothing more than a sugar baby.”
Ruth glared fiercely at Isabella. “Your man is in the upper echelons of Quirk Group, yes? My cousin is a board member there. I had intended to speak directly with your man, to have him relay the message to you. I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful. Women of your caliber are a dime a dozen in our circle. I wouldn’t mind replacing you with another sugar baby for your man.”
Isabella mentally scoffed. Hold it in, don’t laugh!
In the distance, Selena and Rosalie were sprawled on the table, their whole bodies trembling.
“Oh, so you didn’t approach Christopher because you knew who he really was and were aware that you couldn’t order him around, and that’s why you came to me?” Isabella said, suppressing a laugh.
The expressions on the faces of the ladies subtly shifted for a moment.
One of them suddenly spoke up. “You know, you and Christopher did seem quite close when you were on the show together. If I were to gather some videos and photos for your boyfriend….
Isabella was taken aback for a moment.
Hahaha! She’s trying to intimidate me, using Christopher as a threat! She’s definitely a genius.
Selena and Rosalie were also stunned. The table they were leaning on trembled even more intensely.
Meanwhile, Ruth had already picked up her phone, appearing
ready to make a call. “A wise man submits to circumstances, and if I were to contact my cousin, things would get complicated. Since we’ve bumped into each other, it must be fate. Moreover, it’s for a good cause, so you shouldn’t reject us again, right, Ms. Jeannet?”
Isabella pressed her lips together, putting on a distressed expression.
What should I do? It’s not often I get such a classic opportunity to show off. I’m about to play the role of the underdog who surprises everyone. I’m so excited! How should I act? Should I get the waiter who knows my identity to play along? Or should I just have her call her cousin overt After all all the board members know me, so it’ll definitely give these ladies a huge shock, Ah, how should I start this? I’m in such a dilemma!
Isabella’s thoughts, both Selena and Rosalie grew excited as well. They, too, wished to step lend their support. If they were to reveal their identities then, perhaps the band of wives might not believe them, leading to them offending the pair.
In this way, they could stage a play, acting as the arrogant mother and sister of the overbearing CEO, throwing their weight around and bullying others… The thought was actually a bit thrilling.
However, someone suddenly barged in through the door.
“Ruth, how come you’re here?”
“Liam! I came to see you.” Ruth shot a look of surprise toward the door, gesturing with her hand. Then, turning to Isabella across from her, she offered a cruel smile.
“Yes, that’s right. Some young girls these days have skewed values. They think just because they’re being pampered now, they can ignore right from wrong and have no respect for their elders. Cousin, can you identify who she belongs to? It’d be a great favor if they could take her back and teach her some manners.
Isabella was also internally jumping for joy. It was time for her to stand up and intimidate the other party.
