Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 285 Oliver And Damien Are Switched At Birth
Finished
Not only did Isabella find it odd, but even Alexander also felt that something was off about Ava’s reaction.
The Quirk family had gradually mastered the essence of gossiping from Isabella. Gossip worth listening to should be outrageous or and dramatic.
Upon hearing Isabella’s exclamation, the Quirk family couldn’t help but begin a discussion.
David said, “Her reaction certainly doesn’t seem like she thinks Oliver is unworthy of Ruby.”
Selena asked, “Do you remember the soap opera we watched not too long ago?”
“The mother who stood in the way of the male lead and the second female lead?” Evian’s face was flushed from the excitement. “Indeed, Ava looks like she could burst into tears any second…”
You two can’t be together, because you’re half–siblings sharing the same mother… Oh my god, what have I just seen? So, Oliver and Damien were switched at birth?
Isabella’s inner monologue revealed this startling news.
Everyone from the Quirk family were shocked.
What was initially mere gossip and audacious speculation had now been confirmed by Isabella. The expressions on the faces of the Quirk family were indeed a sight to behold.
Although enjoying the gossip was quite delightful, it was undeniably absurd for the people actually involved.
Upon hearing the conclusion, an icy look crossed Alexander’s face in an instant. It confirmed something.
All the mental torment that Damien endured over these years was nothing but a cruel joke.
Suddenly, Alexander’s stern gaze fixed on Ava, whose face had turned deathly pale.
People like this, regardless of their reasons, were unforgivable for mistreating children.
Isabella was so astounded by the revelation she had uncovered that she devoted her full attention to digging deeper. She was so engrossed that she failed to notice the sudden, dramatic shift in Alexander’s demeanor. However, the others at the table felt the chill emanating from him and shivered.
“What’s wrong?” asked Roland, taken aback.
“What else could it be? He’s disgusted by the shamelessness of the Willis family,” said Elaine, exasperated. “But why is Mrs. Willis going against her own husband? It’s clear to everyone that Sergio is trying to secure a good future for the Willis family and Ruby. It seems like Ruby is willing to agree. It’s odd how Mrs. Willis is holding them back like this.”
Ines asked, “Are they playing good cop, bad cop?”
Aiden said, “If that’s the case, then this old woman’s acting skills are truly remarkable. She was as pale as a
corpse.
“From the looks of it, it’s not disgust, but more like fear Roland suddenly frowned, unable to resist

Alexander was already contemplating how to expose this matter. He knew he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing
At that moment. Ava was truly in a bind. Although she was mentally breaking down, she had to pull herself together in this crisis.
There was no way that Oliver could marry Ruby.
However, Sergio’s expression had already turned hostile. Even Ruby started to harbor resentment toward Ava.
“Don’t be foolish. I know you think our daughter is still young, so you’re reluctant to let her marry so soon. But sooner or later, she’s bound to marry. Wouldn’t it be better if she married into a family we’re familiar with? That way, we could be at ease, right?” said Sergio as he shot a look at Ava, whom he thought was just
confused.
No, no, no! Ava, of all people, couldn’t afford to be confused! At this moment, no one is more lucid than Ava, yet she can’t utter a single word of rebuttal! Is she supposed to reveal that she had swapped the two children, and that Oliver is indeed the eldest of the Winters family, which is why he absolutely cannot marry Ruby, his half–sister?
After finding out about all the gossip and hearing what Sergio said, Isabella could not help but complain.
The faces of the Quirk family men > grew even more animated upon hearing this. Enough! Enough! This is completely destroying our values.
The phrase ‘reaping what you sow truly came to life for them through Ava’s experiences.
Sure enough, all Ava could do was shake her head desperately. Her whole body trembled as she said, “No, I can’t agree. Absolutely not! Sergio, let’s go home. I’m tired. Let’s leave.”
“Mom, what are you doing?” Ruby was still trying to get through to her mother, hoping she would come to
her senses.
Sergio was also very curious as to what exactly Ava was opposing. However, without a clear explanation from Ava, Sergio and Ruby refused to relent.
She wouldn’t dare to admit to the outrageous things she had done. Not to mention, everyone knows about Oliver and Ruby now… Holy cr*p! Don’t let me read those scandalous details. I really don’t want my worldview to be shattered into pieces! I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything! Isabella hypnotized herself for a moment before she started to ramble again. Even if you forced Ava to talk now, she won’t dare to refute with the truth. But without revealing the truth, all her refutations would seem so feeble and powerless.
Upon hearing Isabella’s heartfelt thoughts, the Quirk family couldn’t help but not in agreement. After all, it was not often that Sergio got such an opportunity, so it was unlikely he would let it slip away.
When Alexander heard this, his brows slightly relaxed. Sergio was determined to make the marriage alliance happen. Even if Ava played dumb, she couldn’t escape it. She had trapped herself in a dead end, unable to find a way out. Now, all that was needed was to wait for the situation to unfold and take action at the right moment.
Before the Willis family could even sort things out, Oliver had already exploded with anger.
