Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind

Chapter 219 Kindly Return The Money Within Three Days.

#Finished

For a married woman, being asked by her husband to love her parents take her back hwas quite a

humiliating experience.

Audrey tried to make a last-ditch effort. Little did she expect she would hear such harsh words from Caleb.

Immediately, she looked at Calels in terror. She never thought that her little schfrom years ago would be

figured out. Indeed, Caleb was not as easily deceived as Josiah.

Audrey's complexion had turned a ghastly pale, an unsettling shade even worse than that of a person who had

been dead for days. Aside from the tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes, she was unable to utter a

single word. She was even struggling to breathe. In the end, she fainted.

And with that, chaos ensued at the scene.

My goodness, has she truly fainted, or is she just pretending? She really fainted! Well, speople are truly

amusing They can't bear the consequences of their own wicked deeds when they cback to bite them. How

can they harm others so nonchalantly? The Quirk family all shook their heads, simply stating that it was a well

deserved punishment.

George and Helen rushed forward to help their daughter up, crying out in alarm. They turned to seek help from

Caleb, but when they saw Caleb's complete indifference, they knew all hope was lost.

Meanwhile, Noah and Lorelei hadn't yet recovered from the shocking revelation. Exhausted both physically and

emotionally, they no longer cared about salvaging their prestigious family dignity. Even more so, they didn't

want to deal with this daughter-in-law who had caused them to lose all face anymore.

Josiah was even more incapable of concerning himself with others, as he was already too flustered to make

heads or tails of the situation.

In the end, George and Helen left the Hampton manor in a crestfallen manner, taking Audrey with them.

Everyone in the know understood that the divorce was inevitable once they stepped out the door.

Just like that, the wine tasting party was disrupted. Caleb managed to gracefully arrange for the guests to

depart, giving each one a bottle of fine wine as a parting gift to smooth over the shock.

Although the Hampton family had been thoroughly humiliated, everyone was still quite pleased with how Caleb

handled the situation. Having a successor like him wouldn't greatly impact the Hampton family's standing even if

they were seen as a laughingstock. As the Quirk family was preparing to leave, Caleb offered them wine and

asked, "May | know why?"

This left the Quirk family in an awkward position. Although others were unaware, it was impossible for Caleb to

be completely oblivious. A simple investigation would reveal that they were the ones behind the

video.

't stand Audrey

Just as Alexander was about to speak, he heard Isabella pay. "It's me, it'swho bullying people. Dakota and |

are friends. Besides, someone has to start the trouble for things to escalate

The Quirk family naturally sided with Isabella. If Caleb were to cause trouble, they were ready to sever ties with

him in the future. They were just that stubborn.

Alexander found himself glancing sideways at Isabella, who stood before him as though ready to shield him from

harm, prepared to shoulder any burden that ctheir way. He couldn't help but let a smirk play at the corners

of his lips.

Most of Caleb's interactions with Alexander had been in a business setting. This was the first the had seen

this side of Alexander. As he noticed the faint trace of a lipstick mark on Alexander's check, a hint of envy

appeared in Caleb's eyes. He felt he understood why now,

Originally, the question was asked out of genuine curiosity. In prestigious families, who would be so tactless as to

expose something directly? Typically, to avoid offending others, they would pretend to turn a blind eye. The

interests of a nobody were usually casually sacrificed.

However, the Quirk family were unnecessarily complicating things, truly... a rather interesting family. Yet. doing

business with such people meant one could always rest easy,

Seeing the somewhat nervous Isabella, Caleb chuckled and said, "Justice Upholder, you are indeed

formidable."

Huh? Is he mocking me? But judging by his expression, it doesn't seem like it.

After shaking hands with Alexander, Caleb went off to attend to the other guests.

As the family stepped outside, they spotted Alexander's group of friends. It appeared that Roland was in the

midst of discussing wedding plans, casually waiting for Alexander to chin with his thoughts.

No sooner had they made their way over when the sound of a resounding slap echoed from the nearby

lawn.

Before everyone had a chance to turn toward the sound, the Quirk family heard Isabella's excited inner thoughts.

Great, | thought | wouldn't get to witness him groveling for forgiveness. Oh wait, it's more like he's already been

burnt to ashes, hasn't het

The scene before had been too chaotic, and at spoint, Dakota had simply vanished.

At that moment, she was about to leave but was stopped by Josiah.

Josiah's face was almost disfigured with that one slap. This was the first tthe rebellious young master had

been hit like this, leaving him completely stunned In disbelief, he turned to look at Dakota. "Did you just hit me?"

Dakota casually flicked her hand, saying coldly. "You had it coming.

Dakota's attitude toward Josiah seemed to have changed abruptly, a shift that Josiah found unbearable. Was this

really the swoman who had once tread carefully around him, her heart full of hope for his love?

The sight of Dakota avoiding him ignited a spark of anger in Josiah. After all, he had always gained the upper

hand in their relationship. However, when he saw Dakota about to walk away, he felt a momentary panic,

humbly pleading with her to stay.

Is this a case of not realizing what you have until it is gone? How pathetic.

A Finished

Isabella expressed her disbelief, while the Quirk family looked on scornfully. Seeing Josiah in this state, Ceryone

else couldn't help but show their disdain. Even Clifford, a man of his stature, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

However, it seemed that Josiah was genuinely terrified of losing Dakota. So much so, that even when he knew he

was being watched by acquaintances in such an embarrassing situation, he simply didn't care.

He blocked Dakota's path. "Are you really breaking up with me?"

Dakota simply replied with a scoff,

"No, it can't be. You loveso much, you must have noticed, right? | love you too, | want to marry you.

Everything before... it was my fault. | was just scared that after expressing my feelings, | would be met with

deception again. I-I know | was wrong. But, you can't blme for everything, can you? It was your love that

spoiled me, madereckless, thinking no matter what | did, you'd never leave me. You can't just abandon me

after I've grown accustomed to this, can you? Can't | make up for the deceit of those two years with the rest of

my life? Dakota, | truly love you. Please, can you giveanother chance?" Josiah pleaded, tears unexpectedly

streaming down his face.

Ugh... His lines are subpar and so cliched. Is he really trying to play the victim here? So, he committed

wrongdoings because the other party was too kind? What kind of logic is that? But with all his sobbing. | hope

Dakota won't swayed.

If it weren't for Isabella's cynical remarks, the Quirk family, like everyone else, would have been sighing over

Josiah's confession.

However, with the added effect of Isabella's remarks, they found the situation rather amusing

But how would Dakota react upon hearing these words! After all, it was evident that Josiah had feelings for

Dakota.

Dakota was daydreaming, lost in her own thoughts. It was unclear what was going through her mind.

Josiah thought he had a chance, so he immediately spoke up. "As for her... it's all in the past now. At most, it was

a matter of pride for me. | haven't had any feelings for her for a long time. She's my sister-in-law, it's impossible

for there to be any lingering attachment between us. It was a one-sided decision."

Sigh, you're such a jerk, aren't you? Your words are always so manipulative. Isn't getting upset a sign of caring?

Sure, you didn't do anything substantial, but there was a lot of emotional tug-of-war going on. | haven't forgotten

the way you looked at her at the reunion. "Can we start over? If you're willing, | can immediately convince my

family for us to get engaged, L..." Josiah reached out to grab Dakota's hand.

In the end, Dakota sidestepped, and when she lifted her gaze, all that remained was ruthlessness.

"I'll send you the bill later."

Josiah was taken aback. "What?"

The onlookers, who had been merely enjoying the spectacle, were stunned, taking a moment to process what

had just happened.
