Con, | have to ask you guys, isn't it awkward? Are you embarrassed?

Isabella simultaneously mocked them cheerfully while continuing her show. +5 Pearls

The air was filled with Isabella's aggrieved complaints, a performance of feigned tears so unconvincing it could

not be more so. Yet, it caused an uproar among the band of wives and Liam, who felt as if a storm was brewing

overhead.

The band of wives were all thinking, S-She... She's not sbig shot's pampered sugar baby; she's the

for you to do this to me? Alexander knew that Isabella was just playing around, but he had no choice but to

awkwardly play along. He gently held her, and when he looked up, his expression had already turned icy cold.

Though Isabella wouldn't allow herself to be taken advantage of, Alexander also wouldn't tolerate any disrespect

toward his wife.

"Everyone, my wife is young and has always preferred to avoid trouble. The way you cto Quirk Group to

threaten and provoke her counts as bullying. Don't you think you owe us an explanation and an apology to my

wife?" Alexander's voice sounded icy cold, yet it carried an intimidating aura that left everyone present feeling.

utterly ashamed.

Alexander delivered his lines well, truly living up to his potential as a domineering CEO. He deserves a thumbs

up.

Alexander's originally serious mindset was instantly thrown into chaos by Isabella's thoughts, causing him to feel

exasperated.

Their expressions are a mix of emotions and truly a sight to behold. They must be regretting deeply, perhaps

even wishing they could dig a hole and bury themselves in it, right?

Isabella sneakily glanced at the other women, delighting in their misfortune.

Originally, Selena and Rosalie were feeling somewhat regretful at having missed their chance to act. However,

their attention had completely shifted after Alexander's words.

Upon realizing they had offended someone they shouldn't have, the group of ladies was thrown into a panic.

They hastily stood up, drastically changing their attitudes in a complete one-eighty.

"So you're Mrs. Quirk! Why didn't you say so earlier? | thought you were a newcomer in the industry, and that's

why | said a bit too much, thinking of giving sguidance to the younger generation."

"It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, Mrs. Quirk. We apologize to you. We genuinely meant no

harm earlier; it was merely a joke..

The four ladies wore forced smiles, brimming with embarrassment. They were now fawning over the young lady

whom they had previously looked down upon, apologizing and heaping praises on her. The drastic change in

their attitude was quicker than a flash of lightning The more they spoke, the smoother their words became, as if

by simply avoiding any feelings of awkwardness, they could pretend the awkward situation had never occurred.

Upon seeing that Isabella remained unmoved, the band of wives suddenly remembered that they had all gone

shopping together earlier. Consequently, they each brought out the latest designer jewelry or bags that they had

just acquired, offering them as gifts to place befo "We unintentionally offended you earlier, Mrs. Quirk. Please

accept these small tokens as our sincere apology. We hope they bring a smile to your face."

Watching how each of them forced themselves to smile despite clearly feeling pained at having to part with the

items, it was evident that those items were of considerable value and extremely rare.

A distance away, both Selena and Rosalie were extremely surprised. This was clearly a significant sacrifice. It

seemed those women were genuinely worried about offending Quirk Group.

Isabella instantly let go of Alexander's waist, turning her attention to the pile of gifts in front of her.

After putting on a show of insincerity, Isabella ultimately accepted the apology.

The four wives watched as their cherished gifts were accepted. These were their prized possessions, barely

warmed in their hands before they had to give them away. Oh, how the

hearts ached!

They had previously declared their intentions to teach the young woman a lesson. However, the tables had

turned, and they ended up learning a lesson themselves. This just went to show a loose tongue may cause a lot

of trouble.

What was even more frustrating was the lack of response from Ruth. Surely, it couldn't just end with them.

And so, the four of them were frantically stealing glances at Ruth.

They had transitioned from the entertainment industry to the world of business, so it was relatively easy for

them to let go of their pride. However, Ruth was originally from the business world, so it wasn't as easy for her to

swallow her pride.

Not to mention she was currently facing the crisis of her husband's divorce, a twhen she was most likely to

be hysterical.

However, under the intense urging of Liam's gaze, she took the initiative to offer an apology. She didn't mind the

act of apologizing, but the words were somewhat hard for her to utter.

Ruth held back her frustration and said, "I admit that sof my earlier remarks were due to a

misunderstanding of Ms. Jeanner's identity. However, it's also because your wife has been quite a

disappointment, Mr. Alexander."

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone present was shocked and turned their gazes toward Ruth. Liam

was on the verge of tears, knowing that his cousin's stubborn streak had flared up.

"Ruth, shut up. You were disrespectful to Mrs. Quirk in the first place. Now hurry up and apologize."

Ruth, however, gritted her teeth and uttered defiantly, "All I did was invite her to joinin dealing with a wicked

person. I've always thought highly of Ms. Jeanner due to her youthful righteousness, but | didn't expect her to be

so confused at this moment, even wanting to p H

Upon hearing these words, Liam was taken aback, immediately casting a speculative glance at Isabella. After all,

Isabella's reputation hadn't been the best initially. It was just that she had been behaving herself recently.

It seems that her husband's decision to divorce her for Rebecca truly devastated her. She's now desperate for

everyone's sympathy and approval, to join her in her fight against Rebecca. If anyone disagrees, even if they just

don't assist her she's determined to turn them to Although Isabella had accepted the apologies and gifts, Ruth

stubbornly refused to admit her mistake. Since that was the case, Isabella couldn't be blamed for what was to

come. She was contemplating how to respond with a sharp retort. Unexpectedly, after hearing Ruth's words,

Alexander, who was standing nearby, immediately grew stern. Having caught a few key pieces of information

from Isabella's thoughts, he roughly understood the whole story and coldly spoke up. "Mrs. Gonzales, you were

the one who placed expectations on Ms. Jeannet, and then just as quickly, you're expressing disappointment and

pointing fingers because her beliefs differ from yours. Isn't that a bit presumptuous?"
