Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Did You Unintentionally Reveal Something

The three members of the Quirk family simultaneously jolted, as if they had been struck with a sudden realization.

Evian’s face turned deathly pale.

Her worst fear had been the possibility of not being able to adopt. However, the mention of divorce took her by surprise. Her initial reaction was one of denial.

The people of the Quirk family were actually well aware that Evian would never divorce. Despite her gentle demeanor, she was stubborn at her core and wouldn’t heed any advice. If it were up to them, they would have facilitated their divorce a hundred times over, given Jasper’s usual indifferent attitude toward Evian.

However, as soon as Isabella had spoken, the Quirk family couldn’t help but feel a stir of anticipation.

I so wanted to persuade them to break up, oh how I wanted to convince them to part ways!

The three of them exchanged glances.

Leading the charge, Alexander voiced out, “The child is already here, which proves that what happened back then was a mistake. I suggest, you should just get a divorce.”

Upon hearing Alexander’s words, both Paula and Jasper were taken aback. They looked at him in astonishment, unable to react for a moment. After all, in the world of the wealthy and powerful, who didn’t have a few illegitimate children?

He looked again at David and Selena, only to find that they surprisingly had no objections at all.

However, at this moment, Evian disappointingly spoke up. “This… this doesn’t mean that Jasper has wronged me.”

The three members of the Quirk family looked at Evian with disappointment, as if she had failed to live up to their expectations.

Isabella nearly spat out her food.

Evian knew she had let her family down. Her head hung low in a manner that bore a striking resemblance to Sean, who was standing next to her.

With a scoff, Jasper immediately said, “That’s true, if we were to discuss who wronged whom, I really wouldn’t know where to start.”

Although spoken softly, everyone could hear the words. In an instant, the Quirk family held their breath, silenced, especially Evian. Her face turned ashen as if she didn’t want to dwell on the issue of adopting a child any longer. It was as if someone had grasped her Achilles heel.

Isabella sensed the whiff of gossip.

Despite being the eldest daughter of the Quirk family and being a step down in this marriage, why is she living so miserably? And how does Jasper act so self-righteous despite having an illegitimate child? Let me look into this.

Alexander realized what was happening, intending to interrupt Isabella’s train of thought, so as not to upset Evian. However, it was already too late.

It turned out that Evian and Jasper were seniors and juniors at the same university. After Jasper broke up with Sienna, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol during a university event. Evian, who was also at the event, took care of him, and then things got a bit indescribable. Huh? Why does this scenario seem a bit familiar?

With an awkward expression, Alexander wanted to facepalm. What have you done? Have you completely forgotten everything?

Isabella continued with her train of thought.

The following day, Sienna came to visit and was devastated to find the two of them together. Heartbroken, she left town without a word. When Jasper awoke and discovered what had happened, he was furious. He believed that Evian, who he knew had feelings for him, had taken advantage of his unconscious state to claim him in a despicable manner. He felt that she had destroyed his relationship with Sienna, making it impossible for him to win back the woman he loved. Before long, Evian found herself pregnant. Left with no choice, the Quirk family sought out Jasper to discuss his intentions. It was then that Jasper stepped up and married Evian. This left Evian feeling like she owed Jasper. Later, when they lost the child, Evian considered divorcing Jasper to grant him his freedom. However, Jasper refused, not wanting to be seen as the kind of man who would divorce a woman just because she couldn’t bear a child. This would tarnish his professional reputation. Furthermore, he bluntly stated that all of this was caused by Evian, so she had no right to initiate a divorce.

Hearing Isabella’s thoughts, the entire Quirk family went silent.

Seeing them finally calm down, both Paula and Jasper felt even more confident and assured.

Jasper’s tone turned even more aloof as he said to Evian, “Think it through yourself!”

It seemed as if the freedom of choice was given to Evian, yet it only led to her accepting her fate with increasing resignation. Just as she was about to speak, a sarcastic voice echoed in Evian’s mind from opposite her.

D*mn, this guy is a master at living off others! I’ve seen plenty of shameless people, but this is the first time I’ve encountered someone this brazen.
