No Remarriage for us Stay Away (Lenora and Zachary) novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419 Escalation Of Conflict
Bella scoffed, “Why on earth is she joining an old friends' reunion? She doesn't even belong here.”

Isla?

Lenora was puzzled, could it be the Isla she knew?

Following that, Bella said, “Fay, later you'll come with me to the private room next door.”

“What's wrong?”

“Axel is here, and Adonis and the others are welcoming him.”

Jermaine had mentioned this to Bella before, but she hadn’t expected such a coincidence. They were at the same club, even in adjacent private rooms. If it hadn’t been for spotting that fool, Isla, she would have remained completely unaware.

“All right, I understand.”

Lenora understood. She recalled her conversation a few days ago with Ezekiel. Ezekiel had expressed his concern about how she was adapting to life in Fairlake, even mentioning that he would be visiting the city in a few days.

Meanwhile, at the booth next door.

A group of young people of similar ages were gathered around a round table, upon which a lavish feast was laid out.

“Come on, Ezekiel, let's have a drink,” Wesley said, filling up the glass with a smile on his face.

“Come.”

“Come, Ezekiel, it's been a while since we last met. This time, we must have a good drink,” Jermaine said with a laugh.

He had consumed quite a bit to drink, his face already tinged with a hint of flush.

Others around raised their glasses in a toast to Ezekiel.

“Enough.”

After downing a glass of wine, Ezekiel immediately waved his hand. “Just got off the plane, I really can't handle another drink.”

“Ezekiel, this won't do.”

“Hahaha, Ezekiel, Jermaine said you couldn't do it! Aren't you going to prove him wrong?”

Just then, Isla walked in. “Prove what?”

“It's nothing,” Wesley replied with a smile.

Jermaine quickly changed the subject.

The atmosphere inside the private room was buzzing with excitement.

A few old friends, who hadn't seen each other in a long time, gathered and joyfully conversed over drinks.

Bella held a wine glass in her hand, knocked on the door twice, and walked right in. “What a coincidence.”

The chatter within the private room came to a sudden halt as all eyes turned toward the entrance. There, stood Lenora and Bella, each drawing a different kind of attention.

Lenora calmly scanned the private room, taking in everyone present—Ezekiel, Jermaine, Isla, Wesley, and three other people she didn't recognize.

Isla really was here.

It seemed that the 'foolish pig' Bella had been referring to earlier was indeed her.

Since both of them were from the affluent families of Fairlake, it wasn't surprising that they knew each other.

“What are you here for?” Isla was the first to speak, her tone far from friendly.

Upon seeing Lenora behind Bella, she expressed a moment of surprise, following it with a sarcastic eye roll.

“It's really true that birds of a feather flock together. Bella and Lenora, both such bothersome characters, have ended up together. How utterly annoying.”

“Why is it any of your business?” Bella retorted immediately, not giving an inch.

“Isla!”

Isla wanted to say something more, but Wesley silenced her.

Jermaine rose to his feet. “Bella, Lenora, are you two here as well? Come over and sit, I'll ask the waiter to add two more seats.”

“No need, we came here today to celebrate Fay finding a new job. We heard you guys were here too, so Fay and I thought we'd drop by to say hi. We'll just chat for a bit and then leave. After all, someone here is a bit of a buzzkill,” Bella hinted.

Her two other friends were still next door, she never intended to stay in the first place.

Found a new job?

Jermaine cast a puzzled glance at Wesley. Wasn't Lenora working at Saleel Photography?

Wesley's expression remained unchanged.
