Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247 Narcissistic Thoughts

At that moment, the atmosphere on the scene was bizarre yet amusing. Even those frolicking in the pool had halted their activities, their eyes fixed intently on what was happening.

It was a party hosted by Clifford, so he was well-acquainted with everyone there. Naturally, they were aware of the only time Clifford had ever been dumped.

Just moments ago, they were watching an emotional tug-of-war between two women and a man. It was unclear whether the sugar daddy had successfully whisked away the replacement or if the admirer had triumphantly prevented the replacement from being taken away by the sugar daddy.

As such, that sudden turn of events nearly took everyone by surprise.

Rising above the two female characters, the real heroine in the sugar daddy's heart emerged.

The crowd could still accept that sequence of events, but not when the real apple of the eye was behind the replacement's trouble.

They were utterly dumbfounded.

Zendaya was taken aback. She had been hired to impersonate Elaine, and naturally, she had seen video footage of Elaine. Therefore, she recognized the real deal at first glance.

She wasn't sure if her heart was pounding due to the recent peril she had experienced or because she saw the real apple of the eye.

Regardless, Zendaya didn't know how to react and could only stare blankly at Elaine. She looks even better in person than in the videos. Is she always this beautiful?

Even though others often remarked on their resemblance, Zendaya believed that Elaine's outstanding characteristic was not her physical features. Instead, it was the sense of confidence and liberation radiating from within her.

That allure was of a kind that made girls admire her without a hint of jealousy. In a way, Elaine was akin to a beautiful older sister figure.

No wonder Clifford was so smitten with her that he sought a replacement. However, I can say for sure that Clifford isn't worthy of Elaine. Zendaya thought.

At that moment, Elaine was also staring at Zendaya, who she had in her arms. She's thin, almost weightless, and has a small face. D*mn! Why does she look so similar to me?

Elaine suddenly remembered that when she first arrived, she had heard something about a replacement. Seeing Clifford pestering someone, she immediately caught on to what was going on.

Although Elaine was feeling a bit peculiar, she didn't overthink it. She simply assumed that everyone had their preferences and figured Clifford probably liked that type of woman. As for Millie's comment about the replacement, Elaine brushed it off as mere jealousy.

She didn't believe any ordinary person would do something as foolish as looking for a replacement.

Hence, Elaine smiled as she helped Zendaya up.

Zendaya, however, nervously expressed her gratitude, “Thank you.”

The more Elaine stared at Zendaya, the more she found herself drawn to the latter.

Just as Elaine was about to speak, she heard Millie exclaim in surprise, “Elaine? Why are you here?”

Then, Elaine turned around and swept her gaze over everyone before speaking to Millie. “Surprise! Guess who just returned to the country today?”

Millie was taken aback, her gaze flitting anxiously toward Clifford on the side.

At that point, everyone's attention had settled on Clifford and Elaine.

Meanwhile, Clifford was staring blankly at Elaine as if unable to respond.

Isabella started sipping her drink, eagerly indulging in the gossip unfolding before her. He's been frozen in place since it started. Was he taken aback because it's been years since he saw the real deal? This is indeed the right way to react when your first crush returns to the country. Unlike the last time...

Upon hearing her thoughts, Alexander wondered, Who didn't react correctly?

Isabella's thoughts continued, Look at that change in expression. Feeling a bit guilty, are we? Is it because there's a rebound on his left and a new one on his right? Is he too embarrassed to face the real apple of his eye?
