Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490 Numb Himself 

Finished 

The Quirk family was also distractedly listening to Isabella’s thoughts, but after quite a while, there was still no news of Lancelot. However, as they thought about that, Isabella immediately brought up the latest news on Lancelot. 

Is Lancelot trying to numb himself? He’s not even studying anymore, instead focusing entirely on managing his father’s company. Essentially, he took over the behind–the–scenes work that Aunt Greta used to do. However, he wasn’t doing a great job, and many of the company’s long–time employees complained about him. I’m curious, though, if he can still say that being a mistress isn’t easy, haba, thought Isabella. 

David’s family also chuckled. 

Several days passed in that manner, and Isabella slowly stopped keeping up with the news surrounding Niel 

Isabella was almost about to forget the matter, but one day, Greta received a phone call from far away, and it first reached the Quirk estate. After Greta ended the call, her expression shifted. 

During dinner in the evening, someone asked a question. 

Greta then said, “It’s no longer my business.” 

Naturally, no one asked any more questions. 

Isabella sensed something was amiss and immediately started paying attention again. 

David’s family, who was sitting at the same table, was already on high alert, wondering if there was trouble 

Holy crap! Holy cr*p… Holy crap! thought Isabella. 

Listening to her increasingly loud exclamations, David’s family was anxious. They wondered what had happened 

Heaven’s will do exist in this world! Truly, the tables have turned. No one can escape the judgment of the heavens! Isabella smiled. 

David’s family still wondered what exactly happened. 

At that point, Greta had left the dining table earlier than expected. 

Ah, I want to share this thrilling and satisfying news with everyone, but how do I even begin to say it? Isabella furrowed her brows. 

David’s family was still waiting for Isabella to spill the beans. 

Suddenly, Alexander spoke up. “Something has happened to Niel.” 

In an instant, everyone present turned their gaze over 

Isabella looked at Alexander in surprise. He knows? Again? 

The rest of David’s family still wanted to wait for Isabella to reveal the truth.

on them. If they were doing too well, I was ready to intervene. However, there’s no need for that now.” 

The rest of his family were shocked but also felt a great sense of security with him as the new family head. 

Isabella beamed. Oh my, my husband is so handsome when he’s being protective like this. I’m totally smitten! 

Without leaving them in suspense, Alexander recounted the events with a grin. 

After Niel purchased the company back, it began operating normally again. Niel was about to start his transportation and trade business once more. 

Unluckily, they found themselves in the same predicament as before. They were ambushed by local armed forces and ended up lost in the dense forest after the incident. 

Yasmine had stayed back to prepare for the wedding. Otherwise, she would have certainly run off with Niel. 

However, the familiar plot was still unfolding. Yasmine, driven by love, disregarded the rescue regulations. Fueled by her fervor, she plunged into the dense forest despite how weak she was. 

In truth, Isabella admired Yasmine a little. Despite Yasmine’s demeanor, she always had a knack for finding people. Sometimes, Isabella couldn’t help but marvel at the power of true love. However, that wasn’t entirely accurate either. The area was riddled with various armed groups, and while a woman could slip through the lines unnoticed, a rescue team would need to go through all sorts of formalities, so perhaps it was simply fate. 

However, without Greta to clean up their mess at that time, even if Niel and Yasmine loved each other to bits, no miracles occurred. 

The complexity of the same rescue operation had Lancelot, who took over the task, frantic. He wanted to contact Greta but found that he simply couldn’t get through on the phone. 

Frustrated, Lancelot wanted to rely solely on himself. However, the overall efficiency dropped significantly compared to when Greta was around. 

Just when everyone assumed Niel and Yasmine died starving in the jungle, they were finally located by a rescue team. By the time Niel and Yasmine were found, they had both passed out, with Niel’s legs tragically broken. 

Though they were rescued, the moment Niel regained consciousness, he lashed out at Yasmine, hurling insults and telling her to get lost. 

Originally, Niel wouldn’t have had to endure such severe injuries. It was all because of Yasmine, who, when she sought him out, brought along nothing useful and even forgot the way back. She had to use his supplies, and just like in Isabella’s previous life, Niel was still touched as he teetered between life and death.
