Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 228

Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind 

Chapter 228 Outright Beating 

→Finished 

The news came swiftly, partly due to the efficiency of Alexander’s subordinates, but also because Ethan 

on had few contacts after returning to his home country. He was almost idle, his time largely spent appeasing his girlfriend and her family or heading to a hotel with Sasha. 

This kind of secret where a man sneaks off to a hotel room with another woman behind his girlfriend’s back naturally caught the attention of the investigators first. After all, if Alexander wanted them to investigate someone, that likely meant they were supposed to be looking for dirt. Therefore, all hotel room records and surveillance footage were promptly sent over. 

Hearing the truth from Isabella’s thoughts and actually witnessing his own best friend being manipulated like this were two different things. 

Involuntarily, Alexander let out a heavy sigh. 

When Isabella saw Alexander engrossed in his phone, she couldn’t help but lean in. 

Although the videos weren’t played, one could basically tell who it was just by looking at the thumbnail. 

A surge of joy welled up in Isabella’s heart. 

Great, everything’s going smoothly! Alexander, being so smart, must have figured it out, right? 

After putting away his phone, Alexander turned to Roland and said, “Roland, I need to speak with your privately.” 

Taken aback, Roland noticed the rare serious expression on Alexander’s face. Despite his confusion, he still rose to his feet. 

The others looked at them curiously, asking if they had any secrets they couldn’t share. 

A straightforward reveal? I hope that Roland will be able to handle it later. Even though it isn’t right to revel in others misfortunes, I’m genuinely curious about Roland’s reaction. I would be great if I could watch it happen in person. 

Despite her usual brazenness, Isabella felt it inappropriate to follow them at that moment, 

Alexander, who was about to get up and leave, paused for a moment before taking Isabella’s hand. 

Isabella was surprised. 

“Let’s go together,” Alexander said. 

Immediately, Isabella eagerly followed along. 

The rest of the Quirk family watched in silent anticipation, their nerves taut. But soon, they were left speechless, for the involved parties had entered the room, so Isabella’s thoughts were no longer audible to them. 

Meanwhile, Roland slightly furrowed his brows. Seeing Alexander’s serious expression and Isabella’s awkward demeanor, he had an inexplicable sense of foreboding. 

“What do you want to tell me?” asked Roland.

The expression on Roland’s face went blank in an instant, as he stared, dumbfounded, at Alexander and Isabella 

“Illegitimate child? Ethan? The high school tyrant who used to bully Sasha? He’s my half–brother from the same father? And he even showed up today?” 

This was the first time Isabella had heard Roland’s voice so shaky. She guessed the impact must have been quite significant. 

Regrettably, this was just the beginning. 

Roland’s expression was extremely grim, and judging by the vein throbbing on his forehead, he was evidently trying hard to keep his emotions in check. He had complete faith in Alexander’s words, not having a shred of doubt. 

The revelation of his father’s betrayal of his mother for over two decades had hit him hard. He wasn’t concerned about the pain he personally felt, but he was worried about the impact it would have on his mother if she ever found out about it. 

Roland closed his eyes momentarily. “Alexander, Isabella, I appreciate you telling me the truth. However, I would like you to keep this quiet for now. I’ll find a way to handle it later.” 

Exhausted, Roland spoke his mind, only to hear Alexander interject, “This isn’t the main point of what I wanted to tell you.” 

Roland was taken aback, staring at Alexander in disbelief. The issue of his father’s illegitimate child wasn’t the main point? Could there possibly be something worse than this? 

Isabella couldn’t help but say, “Brace yourself.” 

Roland was filled with fear. 

Alexander pulled out his phone and fiddled with it, after which Roland’s phone buzzed as he sent several videos over. 

Alexander made an excuse, saying. “I initially had concerns about him having some sort of scheme, so I decided to have him investigated. Surprisingly, I stumbled upon something far more significant. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen this moment to disclose him being your half–brother. 

In truth, Roland himself had found it quite peculiar. The matter of Ethan being an illegitimate child could 

be discussed at any time, so why not wait until the happy event was over an illegitimate child could 

Yet, when he bewilderedly unlocked his phone and caught a glimpse of the video thumbnails, his pupils abruptly contracted. 

He immediately watched the videos, one after another. 

Roland’s eyes became bloodshot, his entire face turning an ashen hue. Even his robust body started to tremble uncontrollably, the smartphone in his hand making a cracking noise. 

When he looked up again, his face was already filled with murderous intent. 

He actually…. 

Isabella paused, feeling that t 

was something inexplicably off about Roland’s reaction.

“Why didn’t she tell me? Why…. the child…” Roland was so overwhelmed that he could barely string his words together.. 

Alexander slightly furrowed his brows, thinking Roland was too upset to think clearly. Hence, he directly said, “If you really look into it, you should be able to find out how many months she’s been pregnant. Perhaps it differs by a month from what you know. Also, can you recall if you two were actually involved. during that time?” 

Roland staggered, his entire being shook. He wasn’t a fool, so he naturally remembered the abnormalities. The child wasn’t his; it was the offspring of his half–brother from the same father but a different mother, Sasha had merely come to him to cover it up. 

Then, Alexander relayed the information he had previously obtained from Isabella’s thoughts, expressing it through his own analytical perspective. “I think he knows about Sasha’s pregnancy. Perhaps he’s trying to seize the family wealth from you. Even if he doesn’t inherit it, his future child will.” 

No man could bear such an insult, and Roland was already seething with rage. 

Isabella cautiously observed Roland for a moment, before she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to call off the wedding?” 

It was as if Roland suddenly snapped back to reality, and surprisingly, he dashed out.. 

Judging by his demeanor, he had completely lost his sanity, seemingly on the verge of committing 

murder. 

Before Isabella and Alexander could react, Roland had already disappeared. 

I initially thought that Roland would handle this discreetly, out of concern for appearances. Is he actually going to confront them head–on? Are the shameless couple about to be exposed? 

Isabella immediately grew excited, quickly pulling Alexander to rush out and join the excitement. 

As soon as they stepped out, they were met with a burst of commotion. 

Even from a distance, they could see that Roland had already knocked Ethan to the ground with a single punch. 

That punch had knocked one of Ethan’s teeth clean out, and blood was smearing the corners of his mouth. He looked utterly dazed. 

Before he could react, Roland had already grabbed onto his collar, throwing punch after punch, almost as if he was pounding him. 

The fierce beating had gasps of surprise rising from the crowd. 

Stariled, Owen called out for someone to intervene. 

However, the first to react was Stephanie, who rushed forward. As a result, Roland only managed to land three punches before she intervened. No matter how out of control Roland was, he could never bring himself to hit a woman. 

Move aside!” 

“Mr. Roland, what do you think you’re doing? We’re here for your wedding. On what grounds are you.
