Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Hooked By Handsome Man

“Initially, Hector couldn’t let go of his ambition to seize power, leading him to send Joseph to probe Ms. Gates, hoping to lure her away. Unexpectedly, he ended up losing his son in the process. If he knows his son turned into a simp, I bet he’ll… Hahaha! He’s now supporting his son now probably because he thinks his son is just trying to win her support. Not only did he lose his son, but he’s also unintentionally helping his enemy!” Once more, Isabella’s inner voice was transmitted to Alexander’s head.

Hector, who was standing behind his son calmly, suddenly shuddered when he noticed Alexander’s deep gaze was fixed on him.

Hector instantly felt smug as he puffed up his chest. It seems that Alexander is indeed wrong in this matter. There’s no way he can exit this situation gracefully after my son’s lecture! Perhaps this time, we might just be able to make Hannah on our side! Let’s see who’ll dare to call my son a silver-spooned wastrel in the future!

“Hey! Alexander, are you trying to humiliate Ms. Gates for this woman?” Seeing that Alexander remained unresponsive, his gaze shifting from time to time, Joseph couldn’t help but express his anger. “Don’t forget, Isabella is the only one who has met Mr. Russell from the rival company! We have photos and videos as proof!”

Having accidentally overindulged in gossip, Alexander quickly cleared his throat, shifting to a serious tone as he turned to look at Isabella. “Why did you meet him?”

The last time he asked Isabella, Isabella was so hysterical that she didn’t give a proper response.

At that moment, even if Isabella remained uncooperative, Alexander felt that he could at least uncover the truth through other means.

Isabella blinked, feeling the situation was getting complicated. She didn’t expect Alexander to be genuinely intent on investigating until the very end.

From her perspective, Alexander was indeed commendable in terms of his character. He was diligently committed to treating everyone fairly.

However, that wasn’t what Isabella wanted. She desired a divorce!

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly met Alexander’s gaze. His facial features were like a perfectly proportioned sculpture, and so his appearance could rival that of any major celebrity. When he focused his attention on her, he was utterly captivating for a moment, causing her to be stunned.

Still without the two hundred million, Alexander’s face appeared deceptive to her. At least it had fooled her for a moment.

At that instant, his handsome face was filled with solemnity, his entire being exuding an air of seriousness that left no room for frivolity.

The penetrating gaze that seemed to see through Isabella’s heart startled her, causing her heart to tremble. As a result, she was stumped for a moment, then said, “It was a job arranged by my agent.”

After saying that, Isabella regretted her words so much that she felt like hitting the wall. Was I hooked by a handsome man? Why did I have to speak up honestly like that? This is going to cause additional problems!

Before anyone could react, Joseph scoffed, “That’s a pretty clumsy explanation. Has your agent lost her mind, finding work for you from the competition?”

Quirk Group owned an entertainment company, under which there was a studio dedicated explicitly to serving Isabella. Obviously, an agent hired by Quirk Group couldn’t possibly accept work from rival companies unless it was done deliberately.

Joseph didn’t give Isabella another chance to speak. He directly contacted Isabella’s agent, Winona Palmer.

The call was promptly answered by Winona, and she immediately responded, “What? I didn’t make such arrangements! Mrs. Quirk, you can’t falsely accuse me like this! I’m just an insignificant figure. I really can’t bear such blame.”

Surely, a lowly agent wouldn’t dare to accuse the CEO’s wife falsely, which was exactly what Hannah wanted everyone to think.

Hannah grinned once she noticed no one picked up on how stiff Winona sounded.

Smugly, Joseph advised, “Next time, don’t make up a lie that can be easily exposed.”

Then, he mouthed two words to Isabella silently, “You fool.”

At that point, Isabella was genuinely a bit upset.

Initially, she thought it was just an ordinary set-up and a minor figure like Winona was also implicated. To her surprise, the scheme was so large that even Winona was bribed.

Alexander had also thought about that. He was thinking about sending someone to investigate Winona when he heard Isabella’s inner thoughts. “I want to see how much they paid her to set me up.”

For a moment, Alexander was speechless. Could she just see whatever information she wants to see?Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What? Is my innocence only worth a two thousand monetary gift? This can’t be! This absolutely can’t be! I must have missed an additional zero!”

Alexander was utterly baffled by Isabella’s thoughts, his mind filled with question marks. Was it really just two thousand?

Isabella’s brief sobbing traveled into his mind. “I can’t believe it really is just two thousand— Huh? Wait a minute, what? So that’s how it was…”

What? What is it? thought Alexander.

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, all he heard was Isabella sighs in exasperation.

Originally, Alexander had a cool and collected demeanor, but now Isabella’s thoughts were pushing him to the brink of irritation. Tell me what it is! Otherwise, how can I prove your innocence?
