Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 260 Clifford Digs His Own Grave
Finished
Even now, Clifford seemed incapable of accepting the situation. His eyes darted wildly between the two of them.
He was just about to say something when someone yelled, “Is Clifford there?”
Everyone looked over and saw four burly men standing at the entrance of the swimming pool. They seemed vaguely familiar.
Clifford’s head was still buzzing. As he turned his head, he saw a face that seemed vaguely familiar. Impatiently, he said, “Whatever it is, tell me later!”
“Indeed, you’re here! We’re Lily’s brothers. We need to talk to you!”
The four individuals approached him.
Lily’s brother! Hold on… Oh no, Clifford is in deep trouble. Turns out Lily has four brothers who, despite their shady backgrounds, are fiercely protective of their sister. When they heard about Clifford playing with Lily’s feelings, they rushed over to cause trouble. These four are reckless, not caring about the relationships between the wealthy families. When Lily was pursuing Clifford, he ignored her. But now, he not only used Lily, but also made her leave so pathetically. How could her brothers not seek revenge? It seems Lily has come to her senses too. Wait… Was it me who -splashed the alcohol just now?
Upon hearing this, Alexander immediately sensed that something was amiss. He could see a certain malicious intent in the eyes of those people.
Without drawing attention, Alexander instinctively moved Isabella behind him. He promptly called over a service staff. Although the other party had not made a move yet, he decided to play it safe and called for the security guards. It was always better to stay alert.
However, before the security guards could arrive, the four burly men had already started to make their
move.
When the first punch came, Clifford was hit so hard that he knocked over the nearby wine table.
Everyone screamed and scattered.
In this situation, the four men–Roland, Damien, Aiden, and Alexander–naturally couldn’t just stand by and watch. Even though their friend deserved a beating, they couldn’t stand there and let it happen. Even though they had managed to intervene in time, Clifford still ended up with a swollen and bruised face. His face had turned beet red from anger, and he was on the verge of tears.
This particular night was an agony he could never forget in his lifetime.
The security guards came over and restrained the other four brothers.
The four brothers were still hurling insults at Clifford. In the end, it escalated to the point where the police were called. Both the Deckers and Lily’s family rushed to the scene, turning the whole situation into a big joke.
Naturally, the pool party had come to an end. However, the gossip hadn’t dissipated. After tonight, the high society would experience another shock.

After everyone had changed into fresh clothes, they waited for their cars at the entrance of the nightclub.
As Elaine led Zendaya away, everyone else was left somewhat bewildered.
“They really are sisters,” said Damien.
“Elaine seems quite happy.” remarked Deborah. “She even mentioned she would bring Zendaya to my engagement party.”
Ines widened her eyes, her curiosity piqued. “Do you think… Clifford would dare to show up at the engagement party next week?”
“I bet he won’t show up,” remarked Aiden with a tinge of skepticism.
Roland said, “Let’s just say that if you play with fire, you’re bound to get burned eventually. Clifford really dug his own grave.”
As they were speaking, a louder discussion could be heard from the side.
“It’s out! The Justice Upholder! The Gossip Queen of the prominent families!”
being “It’s truly baffling. The last time she showed up was at the Ford family’s wedding, and it ended up. called off. Now, it’s just a small party, yet she manages to cause such a huge commotion. It’s downright terrifying.”
“No wonder her fans are absolutely smitten with her. She truly knows everything!”
“I’m becoming smitten with her. I want to gossip with her. The twists and turns today are more exciting than the last. It’s been a while since I attended such a thrilling gathering. I can talk about it for a year.
“I really want to ask her what event she’s planning to participate in next. I want to secure my spot enjoy the show.”
and
“I don’t know if there will be other events, but there is a wedding coming up that she’s definitely going to attend…
Alexander’s friends glanced at Isabella and Alexander as they descended the steps, then turned their gaze toward Deborah.
For a moment, they were at a loss for words.
“What’s wrong?”
As the two walked closer, they noticed everyone staring at them with peculiar expressions. Unable to hold herself back, Isabella had to ask.
Ines was always the most straightforward. Unable to contain her excitement, she blurted out, “Bella, was it you who worked your magic today?”
Isabella was stunned.
Aiden chuckled. “Be careful. What if Clifford snaps back to reality and comes looking for trouble with you? Hahaha.
Isabella caught on, realizing that they were only joking around.

However, she really didn’t stir up any trouble with this matter. She just happened to know some information ahead of time and was just sitting back and watching how things played out.
Isabella looked like she had been accused. “It really has nothing to do with me.”

Ines and Aiden both wore teasing expressions, expressing their disbelief. They once again emphasized their hope that she would attend Aiden’s father’s umpteenth wedding in the future.
Roland cleared his throat, signaling them to tone down their chatter. They were too oblivious to the fact that Deborah might mind these metaphysical things.
However, if it really was a matter of metaphysics, then Roland was genuinely grateful to Isabella.
Naturally, he thought it was all just a coincidence. Isabella had always been fond of gossiping and was drawn to the buzz of activity.
Alexander also reacted. He turned his gaze toward Deborah.
Deborah was rather forthright, saying, “If it really has something to do with you, Elaine should give you a big reward. However, my engagement party is about to begin. I should be on guard.”
Everyone paused, feeling a bit awkward. They assumed that Deborah really took it to heart.
“My fiancé has quite a bad past. I don’t really care, as long as it doesn’t cause any scandal that would prevent our families from working together. So, our Angel of Justice, let’s try to keep things under wraps, shall we?”
Deborah’s pitch became higher as she spoke, indicating that she was deliberately joking.
There was a sense of triumphant justice in all the previous gossip. But such a notion of justice didn’t exist between her and her fiancé, Oliver. Even if Isabella discovered something terrible or scandalous, there was no need for her to stand up for Deborah.
