Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 If Only She Was Vain

Due to surprise, Isabella's reaction was very intense, which made the Quirks shudder.

Noticing the Quirks' increasingly peculiar behavior, Noah and Lorelei finally sensed something was amiss. They asked, “Is there a problem?”

The Quirks finally couldn't resist asking about the gossip.

“We saw a girl quite close to your son Josiah earlier. Is she his girlfriend?” Selena inquired with a smile.

“Ah, she's Audrey's cousin, Camila. She's quite fond of Josiah. We thought it would be nice if the families could be even closer, so we just let them interact freely,” Lorelei said.

They might hold Caleb to strict standards, but they gave Josiah the free rein. The only expectation of Josiah was not to bring home any unsavory characters.

However, she didn't expect the Quirks' expressions to change as soon as she finished speaking.

A jolt of realization struck Lorelei's heart. As she made a daring speculation. She couldn't help but shift her gaze toward the youngest daughter of the Quirks, Rosalie.

Upon seeing the stunned expression on Rosalie's face, she quickly added, “However, Josiah hasn't given it any thought yet. By the way, I wonder if Rosie has a boyfriend?”

At this point, the shock among the Quirks intensified.

They were just watching the drama unfold, but it seemed like they had inadvertently invited it into their own home!

Upon realizing what Lorelei meant, Rosalie's face turned ashen.

Selena hastily said, “Rosie is still young, and she's planning to study abroad afterward. I've heard that Josiah has had a girlfriend for quite some time now. I was wondering if he brought her today. Perhaps good things are happening soon. I was just about to ask when they plan to get married.”

Upon realizing her mistake, Lorelei blushed deeply. Since she wasn't particularly eager to establish a marriage alliance with the Quirks, she quickly changed the subject to avoid causing any further awkwardness to her guests.

“Oh, so you've heard. To be honest, we're not quite sure ourselves. Josiah mentioned he would bring her back for us to meet, but he didn't show up today. Judging from his demeanor, they must have broken up. His relationship is not as steady as Alexander's,” Lorelei explained with a smile.

Meanwhile, hearing all the information, Isabella was instantly rendered speechless.

The number of people who knew about Audrey's past relationship with Josiah was increasing.

When they heard Clifford reveal the girl's identity a while ago, they were all taken aback. However, they didn't know as much as Isabella and Alexander did, such as the role Audrey played in all of this.

Audrey... She really should see a psychologist. What on earth is she up to? Is she trying to set up her own cousin with Josiah? Ah, I see now. It's because she knows Josiah despises the type of girl Camila is. If they get married, they won't be in a loving relationship. This way, she can continue to control Josiah's affection without worrying about him being swayed by other women.

Alexander was completely baffled because he couldn't decipher Audrey's intentions at all. He wanted to ask her about the grudge between her and Camila.

“You and Audrey have no objections?” Roland was starting to feel that something was off. “What about your girlfriend?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? That girl is the only one head over heels. I have nothing to do with it. My family won't force me into a marriage alliance, so stop bothering me with this.” Josiah stopped entertaining his guests and slammed his phone on the table. After giving everyone a fierce glare, he picked up a bottle of alcohol and began to drown his sorrows.

“I wanted to mention this earlier. Your mood today seems unusually bad,” Damien remarked.

“Could it be related to your girlfriend not showing up today?” Aiden speculated, recalling the earlier rumors about Josiah planning to introduce his girlfriend to his family.

Josiah let out a scoff, sounding as if someone had done him a great injustice.

This made Isabella so infuriated that she wanted to smack him on the head.

Clifford and Josiah were the best of friends, so Clifford was always privy to most of Josiah's gossip. Clifford teased, “He's waiting for that woman to take the initiative to come clean and apologize because he found out she's known about his identity all along and has been playing him. Despite this, you're still not breaking up with her. Josiah, you're done for.”

“What? Really? You guys were playing each other?” Ines exclaimed in surprise.

Deborah looked at Josiah with a speechless expression. She was too indifferent to comment.

Upon hearing that, Zendaya, who had been sneakily glancing at Isabella, couldn't help but want to make a sarcastic remark. As if everyone isn't just acting! Only my idol's on-screen pairing is real!

“Maybe she's waiting for your confession?” Roland couldn't help but suggest.

Josiah snorted. “She asked me for money.”

The expression on everyone's face noticeably changed.

“Could it be a misunderstanding?” Even though Damien refrained from commenting on their relationship, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss.

“She lied to me for half a million. If she didn't know who I was, how could she have asked for money from me who was penniless to begin with? She must have just found out, that's why she became so greedy. She's always finding ways to ask me for money. And to think that I even...” Josiah angrily put down his wine glass, his eyes turning somewhat red.

Just then, a sudden snort of disdain was heard.

The voice was far from friendly. Josiah abruptly looked up, and sure enough, it was Isabella again.

“What are you laughing at?” Josiah could sense that Isabella was obviously mocking him.

“Fun fact, people tend to laugh uncontrollably when they're at a loss for words. That's exactly what just happened to me,” Isabella said ignorantly.

The whole table immediately started watching the drama. Why are these two at it again?
