Upon hearing the embarrassing words, the Quirk family couldn’t help but feel awkward. Nonetheless, they were still very much looking forward to what would unfold next. 

Could it be that tonight. 

“I was just taking a shower; that’s why it took me so long to open the door.” 

“Ah, it’s okay.” Well done. That was impressive! 

Isabella maintained her composure, straining to tear her gaze away from Alexander’s captivating figure. 

Alexander’s lips twitched. “Have you decided?” 

The Quirk family listened anxiously. 

-Sure, I have ten million now. Can you help me investi?” 

The Quirks were rendered speechless. 

Alexander nodded. 

“But I need to know, how can you be so sure that the profit is guaranteed? Investing always carries risks,” Isabella stated earnestly, 

Alexander replied, “If there’s a loss, it’s on me. I fully guarantee that your principal is safe.”

Isabella was somewhat taken aback by this unexpected benefit. 

Alexander said straightaway. “Thank you for helping out my family again. Consider this a token of my gratitude.” 

Isabella instantly accepted the credit, as she also felt that she had done them a big favor. There was no need for false modesty. 

“I’ll transfer it to you later… Hey, wait. Let’s just invest nine million instead.” 

Alexander was puzzled when he heard Isabella’s thoughts. I’ll keep a million on hand, just for emergencies. 

“Is there an option to choose monthly dividends for the investment?” Isabella asked again. 

This way I’ll have a steady income and can leave a laid–back lifestyle. 

Alexander slightly furrowed his brow. “If you need money, just swipe your card.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I know,” Isabella said with a laugh, “but is it wrong for me to want to celebrate my profit every month?” 

Not! That card is under your name, and your favorite punishment for me is freezing it. I wouldn’t want to risk being left penniless when you freeze my card for offending you one day. 

Isabella’s lack of emotional security triggered a flicker in Alexander’s gaze.

“Alright, I understand. I remember the final payment for your last job has already been transferred. You should receive it by tomorrow, It amounts to approximately one million. So, let’s consider the total investment to be ten million still, shall we?” 

“What? Really? Wasn’t I just a nobody who could only get by through advertisements? Could the payment really be that high?” Isabella was taken aback, and she didn’t recall much. Could it be because the original owner wasn’t paying attention, so I remembered it wrong? 

“This one’s higher than usual. Alexander casually fibbed, and Isabella believed him. Her joyful laughter subsequently echoed in his mind. 

The trio who had been eavesdropping exchanged glances, sympathizing with Isabella. They believed that all her worries stemmed from Alexander’s failure to provide Isabella with a sense of security. 

Fine, in the future, we’ll just give Isabella more monetary gift to increase her sense of security. 

Suddenly, Alexander felt a chill down his spine, sensing some sort of impending danger. After a moment of thought, he suggested. “If you have any extra money in the future, you can continue to give it to me. I’ll help you add it to your investment.” 

Alexander, you really are… apart from not sharing my bed, you’re perfect! 

Alexander was at a loss for words. 

Apart from not sharing her bed? The trio who were eavesdropping gestured to each other. 

If only I could sleep with him just once. 

Alexander suddenly felt his ears burn. His previously shocked gaze could no longer focus on Isabella’s face. 

The trio who were eavesdropping rooted for Isabella in their hearts, reasoning that since Alexander could hear the latter, perhaps Bella’s straightforwardness could give her a shot. 

Come to think of it, I wonder if any woman has ever managed to win him over… I am certain I haven’t! 

With that, Alexander wondered anxiously if she was about to spill some secrets again. 

The trio who were eavesdropping wore expressions of helplessness. Back when the incident first occurred, they themselves were not certain of the truth. It was only because many people had found out that they had no choice but to make Alexander take responsibility. 

Seriously? Is this for real? 

The eavesdropping trio wondered why Isabela was so surprised. 

Alexander suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding. 

Surprisingly, Alexander is still a virgin. Wow, what a shocker 

Alexander’s mind was blown. 

The eavesdropping trio thought to themselves, What do you mean a virgin? Alexander has had girlfriends, been married, and philandered with socialites and celebrities. Yet he’s still a virgin?

Hahaha! 

Alexander’s gaze narrowed, his face beginning to flush uncontrollably. All he could do was glare at Isabella. 

What’s so funny! This is too much! 

Not only was Isabella laughing excessively to herself, but her face was also on the verge of contorting from holding back her laughter. 

Moreover… Alexander’s sharp gaze instantly Swept toward the room at the far end of the corridor. It seemed like he had also heard a few muffled chuckles from there. 

Thus, the trio of eavesdroppers immediately moved away from the crack in the door. 

After all, they were in the wrong for eavesdropping. This was a family’s private affair which they had no intention of listening in. It was purely accidental on their part 

After a few seconds of looking around awkwardly, the three of them couldn’t resist being busybodies. As soon as they looked over, they saw Alexander pulling Isabella into the room amidst a chorus of laughter. 

Is something exciting going to happen? 

They hastily huddled around the door gap, but with the door now closed, it became incredibly difficult to hear the whispers of Isabella’s heart. 

At this moment, Isabella’s inner voice had momentarily ceased, leaving only the sound of her startled heartbeat. 

She looked at Alexander in surprise after he had pulled her into the room. “What are you doing?” 

Unable to hear the annoying laughter anymore, Alexander finally regained his composure. With a hint of resentment, he cast a glance at Isabella 

He quickly found an excuse. “I’m writing you a power of attorney agreement.” 

Though Isabella found it somewhat baffling, she was quite pleased with Alexander’s efficiency in settling matters related to the investment. 

However, Alexander was far from satisfied. Even though he had managed to prevent Isabella from revealing his secret, he couldn’t help but be annoyed by the constant chatter in his car. 

Despite his best efforts, he was unable to prevent it. All he could do was blush fervently as he hastily drew. out the agreement. 

It is truly hard to believe that someone as successful as Alexander is still a virgin. Even if he is a chaste person, sleeping with his first love should be considered innocent, shouldn’t it Could it be that he can’t get it up? Probably not, as he has right–pack abs! 

With a swift thud, the printed agreement landed on the table, halting Isabella’s unashamedly outrageous train of thought. 

Isabella was so engrossed in the agreement he had writen that she failed to notice the grim expression on Alexander’s face.

With the agreement in hand, she left cheerfully. She slept soundly until the sun was shining brightly the next day, only to be awakened by the notification of the final payment being deposited into her account, 

Indeed, there was a million. 

Upon descending the stairs, she saw Selena and Evian engaged in conversation with Callahan. Hearing the commotion, they all looked up. 

“You’re finally up!” Selena remarked with a warm smile. 

Isabella felt a bit awkward. It seemed like the original owner rarely overslept. “I was a bit tired yesterday, so I woke up late. 

The expressions on the faces of Selena and Evian were complex. Originally, when Isabella woke up late. they could let their imaginations run wild. 

However, during breakfast, when Selena subtly suggested preparing some nourishing food for Isabella, Alexander’s face darkened as he indicated it wasn’t necessary. 

From that, they knew the couple didn’t sleep with each other, which was truly unfortunate. Isabella’s late rise had absolutely nothing to do with Alexander. 

Was 

Observing the expressions of those around her, Isabella pondered, as I being rude when I overslept? 

Regaining her composure, Selena chuckled. “Sleep as long as you need to. If you’re tired, get some extra rest. After all, young people like you have different routines from us.” 

With a laugh, Evian also chimed in. “In the past, I also used to wake up quite late too” 

Upon hearing this, Callahan, who was next to Evian. curiously looked at his mother. After all, when he woke up this morning, he had seen his mother by his side, seemingly awake for quite some time already 

Upon noticing her son’s gaze. Evian suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said in a soft voice, “But I don’t 

do it now. 

As Evian’s words were intended to comfort Isabella, the latter was well aware of the goodwill shown. 

After descending the stairs, Selena instructed the maid to prepare a light snack for Isabella to tide her over, as they were all going to have lunch together soon. 

“Today, both David and Alexander won’t be coming back for lunch, so it’ll just be us accompanying Cal.” Selena said with a smile. 

Alexander rarely came home for lunch, let alone the fact that there was still work to be done related to Hannah’s situation from the day before. 

At the same time, David had stepped out personally. Given how rare this was, it was clear that he intended to personally handle matters concerning the Lawson family. 

Thus, Isabella went straight over and sat down on the couch. 

“Hello, Aunt Isabella, Callahan greeted politely, his eyes still held a hint of unease. 

It

his face, she

couldn’t shake off his nervousness. 

After all, they were relatives who had been apart for nine years and still needed time to adjust. 

Both Selena and Evian noticed Callahan’s awkwardness, yet they were at a loss for a better solution. All they could do was to approach with care and caution. However, they couldn’t help but harbor resentment toward Jasper and Sienna, as well as regret for the initial assumptions they had made. 

Under such circumstances, the atmosphere easily became awkward. 

Isabella’s eyes shifted. 

I got it. Callahan enjoys playing with Rubik’s cubes, Legos, and model kits. However, aside from the Rubik’s cube, he has only ever tried the others in the store, as Sienna had deemed them too expensive to purchase. It was hardly a matter of cost, but rather Sienna’s reluctance to spend an extra dime on Callahan. 

The faces of Selena and Evian instantly froze. Just a moment ago, when they had asked Callahan, he had simply replied that he liked Rubik’s cubes 

They presumed that he was being modest when he refrained from discussing expensive toys.) 

This made the two of them feel even more heartbroken. 

Before Isabella could even find a reason to tell them, Selena and Evian seamlessly steered the conversation toward Callahan and their younger brother, Christopher. They subtly brought up how all the Quirk siblings had a fondness for Lego and model kits, mentioning that there was a whole collection of them stored in their house. 

“Cal, do you know how to play with them? Would you like to… 

“I do. I like them,” Callahan responded immediately. 

It wasn’t just because he genuinely liked them, but more so due to a shared connection with the Quirk family, which gave him more confidence. 

Of course, what Selena and Evian said was true–there were indeed many toys in the storeroom. However, they wished they could compensate Callahan tenfold for the lost time of nine years. Therefore, they not only allowed Callahan to choose from the items in the storeroom but also had a great number of new toys delivered 

When evening fell, David and Alexander returned home, only to be cheerfully ushered by the butler into an empty room on the first floor. Inside, a sprawling set of Lego blocks filled the space. Three women and a boy were seated on the floor, thoroughly engrossed in play. 

That sight brought a wave of warmth to the hearts of the father and son, who had been weary from a full day’s work. 

After dinner, both David and Alexander joined them. 

A week later, the dust finally settled on many matters. 

David handled everything efficiently–from the divorce proceedings to reporting to the authorities and filing lawsuits. He had it all under control.

The private hospital owned by the Lawson family went under, leaving Jasper burdened with a massive debt. His only option was to declare bankruptcy. 

The entire Lawson family found themselves destitute, living on the streets. Paula had tried to cause a scene a few times, but since they were no longer in–laws, she naturally couldn’t even get past the security 

David would not grant any member of the Lawson family another opportunity to see Evian and Callahan again. 

Jasper and Sienna were both facing imprisonment. However, upon discovering that Sienna was pregnant, Jasper for once, manned up. He took all the blame upon himself, ensuring Sienna could be released. without any charges. 

However, Sienna was not moved by his sacrifice. She wasn’t sure if it was because she had lost hope for the future, or because she felt Jasper had deceived her. As Paula didn’t keep a close eye on her, Joanne ended up losing the child and then vanished without a trace. 

In the end. in the face of disaster, all of them only care about themselves. Upon learning of the situation. Jasper went amok in prison, which only served to lengthen his sentence. 

Over a span of ten days, the Lawson family vanished from the city 

Soon after that, Callahan transferred schools and started afresh,

Before that, the Quirk family had organized a welcome party to celebrate their reunion with Callahan. 

Upon reviewing the guest list for the banquet, Isabella expressed regret. 

I only know the name but not the face. Otherwise. I can check in advance if there is any juicy gossip to feast on Typically, high society is teeming with drama. 

The Quirk family, engrossed in discussing a list on the couch, suddenly found their attention pulled away. It couldn’t be helped, for no one could resist eavesdropping on gossip. 

Recently, quite a few interesting events had unfolded around Isabella. She even discovered the secret crush the butler harbored for the housekeeper. Every day, they would quietly revel in the budding romance between the two. 

By the way, will Christopher be able to make it? Didn’t they say previously that he is filming in some remote mountainous area with no signal?” asked David 

The third child of the Quirk family, Christopher, was one of the most popular actors in the entertainment industry. 

Alexander said. “I received a message from Chris. He just got out and assured me he’ll come back. He also mentioned he has something important to discuss.” 

As these words were spoken, everyone in the Quirk family fell silent, their expressions subtly shifting. 

Curious, Isabella glanced around the crowd, unable to resist activating Gossip System. 

So that’s what’s going on. Christopher wants to change the betrothal agreement. It seems vaguely familiar. He is

currently engaged to the eldest daughter of the Cowell family, Luna, but he has always been fond of the younger daughter, Bianca. It seems that Luna has a rather poor reputation, while Bianca is praised by everyone she meets. 

When the Quirk family heard this, they were not surprised at all. Over the years. Christopher’s behavior had been clear enough. They, as a family, did not oppose their children choosing to love freely. Their only concern was that Christopher’s impetuous temper might make the situation awkward. 

Since Isabella had confirmed that Christopher truly intended to change the engagement upon his return, they decided to discuss an appropriate course of action together once he was back. 

As everyone was deep in thought, they heard Isabella let out a sigh. 

Love is an unpredictable thing. When Christopher was a child, he nearly died. It was Luna who saved his life. Yet, ironically, he ended up falling for her younger sister instead of her. 

Everyone in the Quirk family was shocked. 

Hold on, what did we just hear? Wasn’t it Bianca who saved Christopher when he was just a child?
