The moment Alexander spoke those words, a jolt shot through Isabellaâs mind.
â
Hirit a second, fint this a great opportunity? Itâs such a coincidence, even my lipstick seems to know I need the chance to use the makeup room You Alexander, you really are my lucky star!
Immediately, Isabella looked at Josiah with anticipation Josiah wouldâve had the perfect vantage point to witness Alexanderâs entire operation if he had been paying attention. However, he missed it, so upon realizing the situation, he prepared to stand up and guide them.
Isabella immediately said. âItâs fine, just give me the directions. I can find the place myself.â
I canât let Josiah accompany me. Regardless of whether Dakota is here to confront Josiah in person. I canât interfere with others fate, but I can gossip. I just canât start one. Thatâs the professional integrity of a gossiper.
âHuh?â Josiah was taken aback.
No worries, Audrey is still in the makeup room, sheâll take care of you if you need anythingâ Caleb arrived. Probably overhearing their conversation, he cheerfully said to Isabella, âItâs the first room on the -second floor, easy to find. Thereâs no offâlimits area in our house, feel free to explore if youâre interested.
The backyard garden and the rooftop terrace offer quite the view.â
Reading the room, it was likely that he had already noticed their boredom. After all, the other guests hadnât arrived yet, and the party hadnât officially begun.
Indeed, the young people in their family were dreadfully boring.
Once again, Isabella found herself having a good impression of Caleb. In truth, people from such prominent families often treated her with varying attitudes. Yet, up until then, Caleb had always been generous and cordial, warm and friendly. From another perspective, his respect for Alexander extended to Alexanderâs wife. In that regard, he was far more considerate than his wife and younger brother.
Once again, she cast a sympathetic glance at him. Why did such an exceptional person have to encounter such a predicament? He deserves so much better!
Isabella quickly stood up, eager to gossip, not noticing Alexander also rose from his seat and trailed after her Before he left. Alexander could feel the palpable resentment from his family.
He had no choice though. It was reasonable for him to accompany his wife but he couldnât exactly bring the whole family along Even though they knew it was impossible, they could only endure and pray that Isabellaâs thoughts would. reach them, providing a live feed for them to savor the firsthand gossip.
Upon seeing Alexander following Isabella without any hesitation, Josiah was momentarily taken aback.
I havenât really got used to this ever since the reunion.

Christopher glanced at Josiah, saying, âThe power of love, of course. Theyâre a married couple, so itâs perfectly mal for them to be inseparable. What about you? Donât you and your girlfriend cling to each are you guys independent?â
Immediately, Josiah felt a stab through his heart, his complexion turning somewhat unpleasant. He assumed Christopher had unintentionally touched a sore spot and decided not to respond.
Suddenly, from another side, Rosalie interjected. âJosiah, whereâs your girlfriend? Didnât she come?â
Feeling the blow once again, Josiah could only bite the bullet and say, âSheâs not free.â
Finally, Evian said leisurely. âSo, you have a girlfriend. I havenât heard about that before.â
Josiah was struck again.
Do these people really have to talk about this?
In reality, only his friends and family knew that he had a girlfriend since he had never publicly shown her off. Given his reputation as a spoiled silverâspooned kid, most people would quickly forget it even if they heard about it. Even his own family didnât care much about the girlfriend Josiah had never officially introduced and simply assumed Josiah wasnât serious.
After all, they had heard that he had a girlfriend, but before they could meet her Josiah had broken up with his girlfriend before they knew who it was.
The Hamptons had already gotten used to it.
At that time, guests started to arrive one after another. Caleb led Josiah to greet the arriving guests.
Meanwhile, Isabella had already reached the edge of the battlefield, but there was a slight hiccup.
However, it wasnât related to Alexander following her.
At first, Isabella was rather perplexed about Alexander following her, but before she could dwell on it further, she caught the conversation coming from the makeup room. The voices were quite clear, audible to anyone who had ascended the staircase..
-I refuse to believe you hiring me twice is a mere coincidence, and this time at such an outrageous price. Whatâs your game? Iâm no fool, so donât bother testing me. I knew from the start that my soâ
called boyfriend is the second son of the Hampton family.â
Well, look at that! The door isnât even shut! And here Iâm planning to sneakily eavesdrop from outside.
However, someone gently tugged at her wrist.
When Isabella turned around, she saw Alexander giving her a look, indicating that they should lean against the wall to listen.
Well, turns out Alexander is quite the gossip too. Itâs understandable, though. Who can resist eavesdropping on such a crucial conversation?
Isabella was always quite generous with sharing information, so she took out her phone and typed out a message, letting Alexander know that the person inside was Dakota.
Alexander cooperated, showing an expression of surprise.

Alexander frowned, showing his displeasure at Josiahâs actions.
Isabella was instantly relieved. Thankfully, their perceptions aligned, and agreed it was Josiahâs problem If it werenât for the inconvenience of typing, Isabella wouldâve taken the time to have a good discusson with Alexander right then and there The conversation inside was still ongoing âSo, you knew all along yet still kept the relationship going. Just as I thought, how can a woman like you let go of such a wealthy man, knowing he is the second son of the Hampton family? However, Josiah is also at fault for deceiving you like this. Lapologize on his belulfâ
Dâmn, even an actress canât act as good as she does! I really want to see the look on her face right not Isabella casually complained silently when suddenly her phone was snatched from her hands.
Isabella was surprised to watch Alexander open an app on her phone, turn the camera around, extend hi arm. adjust the angle, and zoom in on the screen. Soon, Isabella could see the scene inside the room from the phoneâs display.
At that moment, Audrey stood faceâtoâface with Dakota.
Isabella watched Alexanderâs smooth movement, her eyes wide in surprise as she turned to look at him.
This guy is seriously impressive! He even mastered the skills of a paparazzi!
Alexanderâs hand trembled slightly, almost ruining the scene. His lips twitched. This is just basic math and physics, though.
Isabella was elated because she had both sound and visual of the confrontation happening in the makeup room.
Heh, donât blame us for peeking since you guys didnât close the doorâHuh? Wait a minute, why didnât they close the door? Arenât they afraid of getting caught? They canât be sure that no one is coming up here, right!
The Quirks were eavesdropping on Isabellaâs thoughts from a floor below.
However, they saw the other ladies from the Hampton family whispering to Lorelei. As they were seated nearby, they could overhear their conversation.
âHave you fixed your hair? Do you want to head upstairs and do something about it?â
âNo, this is fine.
âThen I wonât touch up my makeup and attend to the guests first.â
Is she⦠D*mn, she really is! Audrey is waiting for the women of the Hampton family to come upstairs to do their makeup or touchâups to witness everything and let them discover the relationship between Dakota and Josiah. Sheâs setting the stage for their breakup, completely cutting off any potential reconciliation. Sheâs already Jossahâs sisterâin- law and exâgirlfriend, so canât she tolerate his current girlfriend?
