Chapter 248: Gossip 251

Chapter 251 Supporting His Wife #Finished Over there, Clifford was once again left speechless by Elaine’s confrontation, savoring the taste of being tormented, he had no time to pay attention to Millic.

Sure enough, Elaine is his Achilles heel. No wonder Clifford couldn’t get her out of his mind. After all, men can’t easily let go of women they can’t conquer. It’s not necessarily about love, but the unattainable always stirs the heart the most. As for this Millic, she brought it on herself, if she hadn’t courted trouble, she wouldn’t have found it.

Isabella raised an eyebrow, not allowing Elaine to do all the work by herself.

Isabella said bluntly, “Oh, right. We haven’t settled the matter from before. Ms. Hayes, you wanted to drag somebody down without reason, don’t you think you owe someone an apology? We’re all human here, no one is superior to the other. I believe Ms. Hayes, you were raised with manners, so you should understand this basic courtesy, right? Two matters, apologize for both at once.”

Millie never expected another to appear and disrupt her plans. For the first time, she truly felt the sting of being bullied and oppressed. She glared at Zendaya, a mix of indignation and anger in her eyes.

Although Elaine and Isabella were individuals she couldn’t afford to offend, she found it hard to believe that these two would hold a grudge against her over a mere lowly worker.

So. Millie stood her ground, “A little push, what’s the big deal? As for the drink… it was just a spilled glass of wine, nothing more. Worst comes to worst, I’ll pay her back.”

In essence, she would rather die than utter the words “I’m sorry” to such a lowly person.

“Name your price,” Millie said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Zendaya felt the protection offered by Isabella and Elaine. Although she was still fearful of offending the powerful, she would not easily disregard the help they had given her.

“I don’t want money!” Zendaya asserted firmly.

“You!” Millie was instantly infuriated. “Don’t push your luck!”

“She said she doesn’t want money! Apologize now!” Elaine sternly demanded.

The surroundings gradually grew quiet.

Millie, the target of criticism, was blushing furiously, her ears burning red. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and exploded in a mix of embarrassment and anger. “Do you think she’s worthy of it?”

Having said that, she turned to leave, clearly adopting the stance of someone who would rather withdraw first if he couldn’t win the fight.

How could someone who’s done wrong simply walk away without facing any consequences?

Upon hearing Isabella’s innermost thoughts, Alexander knew she wouldn’t let Millie off the hook.

Suddenly, Isabella called out, “Millie!”

Instinctively, Millie turned around, only to see Isabella swiftly grabbing her wine glass and splashing its contents toward her.

Chapter 251 Supporting His Wife In the same manner, Millie let out a piercing scream.

Finished Everyone around was taken aback. They hadn’t seen Isabella displaying such immense strength before. Wait a minute, they recalled hearing something about this lady of the Quirk family being quite extraordinary.

Some people surreptitiously glanced at Alexander, expecting some kind of reaction from him. Yet, they found his expression indifferent, as if he wasn’t surprised at all.

Upon realizing this, Elaine immediately gave Isabella a thumbs up.

Clifford was quite close to Millie. When the drink splashed on his face, he was taken aback.

After screaming out loud, Millie could no longer contain herself. She glared at Isabella furiously and exclaimed, “What are you doing!”

“It was just a spilled cup of wine, what’s the big deal?” Isabella echoed Millie’s words..

“You did all this for her?” Millie could hardly believe it Isabella chuckled. “I’ve said it before, nobody can mess with my fans. It seems like you didn’t take my word to heart at all.”

At this point, Millie had already begun glaring fiercely at Isabella.

“If you have any grievances, let’s consider… this matter to be on him.”

Isabella pointed at Alexander, flaunting her powerful backup.

However, for the sake of a minor fan, to offend someone within the industry, such reckless behavior had, others worrying whether Alexander would still back her up.

As a result, Alexander was seen seriously nodding his head, saying, “Yeah, put it on my tab.”

The onlookers were shocked.

Isabella lifted her chin in pride. “You heard that, didn’t you?”

At this point, Millie truly lost it. She pointed at Isabella, exclaiming, “Are you… are you out of your mind? Why do you always have to stick your nose into other people’s business!”

Alexander’s face darkened in an instant. “Who are you talking about?” he demanded.

A chill ran down Millie’s spine immediately, but she still managed to voice her grievance. “Mr.

Alexander, are you implying that your wife is justified in her actions? She’s blatantly bullying me, isn’t she?”

Alexander said, “My wife didn’t bully you, she was merely settling accounts on behalf of others. It’s only Millie was left speechless in disbelief.

The people around felt an overwhelming urge to voice their complaints, yet found themselves at a loss for words Alexander wasn’t quite the same as they remembered or imagined.

apter 251 Supporting His Wife What kind of man is this, who supports his wife without any boundaries?

Finished However, Alexander indeed held the trump card. Whether it was Millie or Clifford, who was supporting Millie, Alexander wasn’t afraid of offending them at all Hence, wouldn’t they have to indulge his wife’s antics?

Before, they had always acknowledged Alexander as an exceptional man. However, his indifference toward women and lack of romantic gestures made her believe that being with him would likely result in emotional frostbite due to his cold demeanor.

Looking back now, many of the women present had to admit that they were quite envious.

Alexander’s friends had already become accustomed to his oddities, although they were still somewhat uncomfortable. They had recognized a patter–whenever Alexander didn’t seem like himself, it was invariably related to Isabella. Other times, he was the Alexander they knew well.

Due to Alexander’s remarks, the wine–drenched Millic inevitably ended up crying her heart out.

When Clifford came to his senses, his face was a kaleidoscope of emotions. Naturally, he couldn’t just leave Millie alone. Moreover, facing Elaine and Zendaya now felt suffocating, as if his world was in chaos.

So. Clifford directly took Millie away.

Millie was at the door, crying and complaining to Clifford, questioning him and hoping that he would accompany her to leave.

He was certain that he couldn’t leave. After all, Elaine had just returned, and Zendaya was also here. He was still unsure about how to arrange things between the two of them.

In the end, he wore a cold expression and impatiently said, “Are you leaving or not? If you’re not, then I will.”

Millie looked at Clifford in utter shock. “There’s Elaine and then there’s Zendaya… Do you really…

have no room for me in your heart? Then why did you act as if you accepted me?”

Clifford’s patience was wearing thin. “When did I ever accept you? Can you stop bothering me?

Look at what you did today. It’s bad enough that you embarrassed yourself but you’ve also dragged me into it.”

Millie was stunned.

Without paying any heed to Millie, Clifford directly pulled away from her grasp and turned to walk away.

Millie was practically gaping at the sight of Clifford’s retreating figure.

On the other side, once the bothersome individual had left, the atmosphere around the pool finally improved significantly.

“Thank you, thank you all!” Zendaya expressed her gratitude directly to Elaine and Isabella with a bow.

Elaine tutted. “No need for formalities. You’ve just had a streak of bad luck. But since we look so similar, it must be fate. From now on, consider yourself my little sister. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention my name, hold your head high. Our looks are not meant to be taken advantage of.”

Isabella was about to say something when she suddenly noticed a red patch on Zendaya’s neck. It wasn’t the kind of redness caused by emotional changes, but rather, it was speckled.
