GOSSIP 244

Chapter 244 Another Victim

A woman asked, “Hey handsome, can I get your number?”

Pretending as if he hadn’t heard, Alexander sidestepped her.

Another woman approached him. “Hey handsome, are you here for the party too? Let’s hang out,”

Alexander furrowed his brow, bypassing her.

A third woman said, “Hey, Handsome, you look familiar. Have we met before?”

Growing somewhat impatient, Alexander continued to sidestep the woman.

“He’s way too difficult.”

“A cool guy, maybe?”

“He didn’t even spare me a glance. Is he perhaps into men?”

Finished

The women who dared to approach handsome men like Alexander were naturally confident beauties. However, since Alexander rarely participated in such events, the beauties with average backgrounds To recognize him.

failed

The beautiful women, disheartened by rejection, were unwilling to let the matter rest and engaged in animated discussions. Soon, they noticed another woman approaching Alexander, someone vaguely familiar. Isabelle, who usually didn’t wear makeup, looked significantly different when she

did. Thus, those who didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry couldn’t immediately recognize Isabelle and merely assume she was another beauty,

However, the spectators watching the drama unfold all agreed that a fourth victim was imminent and that Isabelle was sure to face rejection too.

Everyone’s eager anticipation was evident on their faces.

Isabelle couldn’t help but feel mischievous.

When Alexander approached, before he could even speak, Isabelle immediately said, “Hey, Handsome, are you alone tonight? Would you like to keep me company?”

Alexander paused, listening to Isabelle’s thoughts.

“Okay, sure.”

The onlookers were taken aback.

Isabelle proudly clung to Alexander’s arm, stifling a laugh as she led him toward the pool party in the backyard of the nightclub. Naturally, their leaving back attracted countless envious stares.

Having so much fun, she didn’t notice Alexander’s rigid body. Material © of .

After all, she was in a swimsuit, so Alexander could feel the softness on his arm, making his muscles tense and leaving him feeling uncomfortable all over.

toward Alexander’s friend amidst the crowd.

Isabelle’s gaze swept over the entire venue with curiosity. Aside from the guests dressed in vibrant, colorful attire, there were also about a dozen young service staff in black and white uniforms. However, Isabelle didn’t spot Zendaya among them.

All their friends had arrived early. Aiden and Ines were having a great time playing in the pool.

Deborah, Damien, and Roland were all seated by the poolside resting area. Upon seeing them approach, they each offered their greetings.

“Isabelle, you’re really something else. Usually, when we invite him to events like this, he never shows up,” Damien said with a chuckle.

Roland also turned his head to look, lightly chuckling. Indeed, it’s refreshing.”

Deborah also raised her eyebrows at them, flashing a playful smile.

Usually, Alexander would let them tease him and ignore them.

Curiously. Isabelle asked, “Where’s Clifford?”

“He went to pick up his new date,” Ines stated, seated on a floaty.

Aiden was playfully pushing Ines from behind. “Clifford changed his partner again. I thought the last one was pretty unique.”

“I heard that she had caught Clifford watching a video of Elaine participating in an overseas fashion design competition, and that’s when she proposed a breakup.” Damien chuckled. “Though she was aware that she was a rebound, I suppose there must have been times when it was too much to bear.”

“I don’t agree with Clifford’s actions,” Deborah stated.

“Disappointing another’s feelings will make you unlucky,” Roland said with a wealth of experience,

Isabelle couldn’t help but complain, “You’re all so certain that Zendaya likes Clifford?”

Everyone was taken aback as they looked at Isabelle, Isabella couldn’t figure out if they had been. brainwashed by Clifford, or deceived by Zendaya’s stellar acting. Surprisingly, they all assumed that the rebound had fallen in love with the male lead.

Too much TV?

Damien said, “Truth be told, I believe he does have feelings for the rebound. He’s just being stubborn and refuses to admit it. Perhaps she has long ceased to be just a rebound in his heart.”

While they conversed, they saw Clifford approaching with his arm circling the waist of a stunningly

attractive woman

“What are you guys talking about me behind my back?” Clifford asked loftily.

You may be stubborn now, but soon, you’ll get down on your knees.

Isabelle remarked sarcastically in her heart while Alexander led Isabelle to sit down.

As they sat down, they casually mentioned, “We bumped into a friend while shopping for swimsuits. They’re coming to hang out with us.”

Clifford was unbothered and didn’t even respond. After all, in his perspective, it wasn’t a big deal. At that moment, his entire focus was on the anticipated arrival of a certain disobedient young woman.

Since he didn’t ask, Alexander didn’t feel any psychological burden.

The others were curious and wanted to ask questions but were interrupted by Clifford introducing his new

date.

The only one there who didn’t recognize the beauty was Isabelle. Everyone else’s expression somewhat peculiar upon seeing her.

turned

The new date was Millie Hayes, who had some sort of significant background. Although she greeted them with a smile, her countenance suggested that she was not someone to be trifled with,

Once Isabelle and Alexander had settled down, Alexander leaned in to share some gossip with Isabelle in hushed tone. Millie was once an admirer of Clifford. Her personality was fairly similar to Elaine’s. Having been with someone like Elaine, Clifford was very resistant toward Millie and rejected her advances several times until then.

Tsk, tsk! Clifford, oh Clifford, it serves you right if you end up unlucky. You hurt woman’s feelings in an attempt to win back another and keep using the same tactic over and over. Is this the only way you know to win your love? No wonder you always lose. It’s karma for having no virtue. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do later!

Clifford also pulled Millie to sit, beckoning the service staff over to order drinks. Then, he acted as if he and Millie were close by wrapping his arm around her waist and chatting with mirth.

Their posture was a sore eye to the point where others couldn’t be bothered to look.

Damien was well–informed, for he had heard about Roland’s and Stephanie’s situation before, and he curiously asked, “I heard that you played the knight in shining armor, then…”

The gossip–laden tone caused Roland to rub his temples. “Stop gossiping, it’s nothing. After she settled matters with Ethan, she returned to her home country with her father.”

“Impossible? You two seem compatible.” For once, Deborah indulged in a little gossip.

“Are you worried about me taking a long time to heal? Don’t be. It wasn’t that serious.” Roland laughed. They hardly knew each other and only had an unexpected encounter, like a strange and embarrassing dream. Stephanie indeed left a unique mark on Roland’s heart from the encounter. They had exchanged contact information, but it was unlikely they would start dating just like that.

At the very least, his spirit might have withered for a while after what happened with Sasha. For the time being, he didn’t want to think about anything else. His priority was to accompany his mother, hoping to improve her mood.

If they had a chance to reconnect in the future, perhaps there might be some development, but they each had their own worlds, so they might never meet again.

After confirming the two had no progress, Isabelle, who had a clear view of the situation due to the Gossip System, decided not to engage in the topic any further.

At that time, several service staff, each carrying a cocktail, approached one by one.

“Ms. Jea-“A scream of excitement echoed briefly in the air.

As Isabelle’s gaze happened to sweep over, it instantly met with the pleasantly surprised Zendaya.

Finished

Since they had circled around from the direction close to Isabelle, Zendaya hadn’t noticed Clifford at the

other end.

“What a coincidence! Are you working here?” Isabelle asked with a laugh.

Zendaya’s face instantly flushed with excitement. “Ms. Jeannet, it’s a pleasure to see you. I’m filling in for someone tonight, what a coincidence. I’m so lucky that get to see you again.”

Naturally, the others had also noticed Zendaya, their expressions varying instantly.

A coincidence? We don’t believe it. Is she here chasing after Clifford? It seems like Clifford has hit the nail on the head She’s really playing hard to get. But is it really necessary for her to pretend not to see Clifford? Will she fight with Millie later? Oh my goodness, I can’t control my excitement!

At that moment, Clifford held onto Millie tightly, his gaze fixed intently on the talking pair, yet Zendaya didn’t spare him a glance.

It was clear that Zendaya and Isabelle were about to start a conversation.

Clifford’s mouth opened and closed repeatedly until finally he couldn’t hold back any longer.

Zendaya heard a harsh cough as if hinting at something. When she turned her head, she saw a face that left her speechless..

“Are the service staff here properly trained? Who allowed you to chat with guests when you should be serving?” He looked at Zendaya with an aloof expression and simultaneously pulled Millie closer to him.

He laughed coldly internally. Let’s see how long you can keep up this act.

At that moment, Elaine had already made her way through the nightclub. Quite a few people recognized her, their faces instantly filled with shock. After all, the news of their breakup back then had caused quite a stir.
