Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Throw A Tantrum

Since there had been a commotion earlier, everyone present knew who the makeup artist was, so all eyes were immediately drawn to this side.

The group of friends who had just left had already gone out and gossiped, so word had gotten out that the makeup artist was the young lady whom Josiah was dating outside.

However, at that moment, a sudden uproar occurred over a stolen necklace incident, with all fingers pointing at the makeup artist.

Everyone didn't look at Dakota with accusing eyes as if she was a thief. Instead, their gazes were filled with anticipation, as if they were watching an exciting drama unfold.

After all, everyone was eager for gossip. Mr. Josiah's girlfriend has stolen Caleb's wife's necklace! What an intriguing gossip.

As she watched her cousin, freshly dressed, charging directly toward Dakota, the suddenly appearing Audrey quickly warned, “Camila, don't be impulsive. It's not necessarily Ms. Meadows who took it.”

That statement further solidified a certain suspicion.

At this point, Caleb's face was filled with impatience. What on earth is going on today? Am I cursed? Why are all these irritating issues cropping up? This is so infuriating.

“What's going on?”

Audrey descended the stairs with a look of injustice on her face, saying to Caleb, “It was a birthday gift from Josiah years ago. You know the value of that necklace... I simply showed it to Ms. Meadows for a moment, hoping she could help me choose a necklace that would match the gown. However, when I went back to help Camila change her clothes, I found the necklace was gone.”

Caleb stepped forward, murmuring, “She's Josiah's girlfriend. How could she possibly steal anything?”

In Caleb's view, Josiah's girlfriend wouldn't do such a thing.

“However, she didn't seem to know earlier that Josiah was the second son of the Hampton family. She appeared to be in need of money recently. I wonder if she lost her way for a moment.” Audrey added with difficulty, “It's all my fault. I should have held Camila back and settled this discreetly.”

Caleb felt quite perplexed. It started when Audrey brought in a makeup artist who turned out to be Josiah's girlfriend. Caleb was left wondering if Audrey had known about their relationship beforehand. However, it wasn't the time to question anything, considering the situation had already blown up.

Upon hearing those words, Dakota froze, her face a mask of confusion and shock.

The people nearby who had just enjoyed a breakup gossip were also left in a state of surprise.

Initially, Josiah was staring blankly at the bracelet. Suddenly, upon hearing those words and seeing Camila charging forward with fierce momentum, he immediately stood up, grabbed Dakota, and reassured her, “It's okay. Don't be scared.”

Snapping back to reality, Dakota merely glanced at Josiah before promptly pulling her wrist away. “I haven't done anything, so what do I have to fear?”

A pang of pain shot through Josiah's heart, causing his anxiety to escalate. It felt as though he was trying to grasp sand slipping through his fingers. Unable to contain himself, he blurted out, “I was wrong to deceive you by pretending to be poor in the past, but now is not the time for you to take out your anger on me. Let me handle this.”

Dakota was almost amused to the point of laughter. Suddenly, she glanced at Josiah, her gaze filled with bewilderment.

“What's the matter?” Josiah felt a wave of discomfort under the scrutiny.

Dakota simply shook her head, a scornful smile tugging at her lips. I just bared my heart out, yet he dismissed my words as if they were nothing more than hot air, brushing them off as insignificant. He even thinks I'm just throwing a tantrum.

Have I been blind these past two years? What on earth did I see in him? Once Dakota stripped away the rose-tinted filter she had placed on him, she thought he was truly detestable.

Dakota had no interest in looking at him. As her gaze swept past, it locked with Isabella's. She noticed Isabella's eyes communicating urgency to her.

Regrettably, she couldn't hear Isabella's innermost feelings, so naturally, she had no way of responding.
