Gossip Girl Reborn

Chapter 46 She Is Just Easily Manipulated 

Despite pampering their daughter, David and Selena maintained their principles when it came to crucial 

matters. 

“Rosie,” David said seriously, “The hiring standards at Quirk Group can’t be compromised over someone’s status. Alex has already made enough concessions regarding this young man. When Bella joined Quirk Group, she only established a small studio under a subsidiary company, responsible for her own profits and losses. No one pulled strings for her and gave her access to major entertainment industry investments. Otherwise, given that she is the CEO’s wife, why would she only be doing photoshoots and remain a D–list 

model?” 

Isabella wondered, I suppose I should take that as a compliment right? He’s right. I rely entirely on my good looks to make a living. Without any professional skills, I certainly cant participate in any serious projects. Even then, I have remained professional during my photo shoots and never tarnished the company’s reputation. 

“Don’t bite off more than you can chew. What’s wrong with being a driver? He knows nothing, yet he dares. to dream of instant success? Why can’t he understand that things need to be done step by step?” Selena stated solemnly. 

Isabella thought, If Dominic had been the type to take things step by step, he would’ve had work experience by now. It’s his constant desire to achieve instant success that landed him in this situation.” 

Isabella couldn’t help but disparage him in her mind. Regarding this matter, Isabella felt that Dominic was incompetent and that breaking up was, in fact, the best outcome. 

Listening to everyone’s comments, Rosalie seemed to have lost all reasons to salvage the current situation! In the end, unable to bear it any longer, she ran out the door in tears and locked herself in her bedroom. 

After learning that Dominic didn’t take the job after all, Alexander reached out to Isabella to inquire about Rosalie’s situation. 

Isabella reported what happened candidly. 

Alexander, however, didn’t show any reaction, simply stating. “I understand.” 

Isabella felt somewhat sorry for Alexander. He had only tried to meddle a little in his sister’s affairs, yet he ended up in a whole lot of trouble. 

“Anyway, both Mom and Dad think it’s Dominic’s fault Just focus on your work. Don’t worry about it anymore.” 

There seemed to be a pause on the other end of the phone. “I’m not bothered by it. Such an outcome was expected.” 

Isabella wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but when Alexander said those words, she detected a hint of amusement in his tone, 

Could it really be a deliberate plan to intimidate the other party into backing off? I never expected Alexander to be so 

cunning. 

At night, Rosalie still kept herself locked in her room.

Everyone gradually returned and heard about what had happened during the day. 

Christopher let out a derisive snort. 

“Breaking up without listening to explanations just proves that he’s a stubborn individual. Rosie has been so well protected by us that she’s too easily influenced by others. If that guy hadn’t looked down on the job of a driver, she wouldn’t have thought there was any issue. In my opinion, their breakup is a good thing. All we need is to give her some time, and she’ll naturally come to terms with it. Later, I’ll introduce her to some handsome guys from the entertainment industry. She can choose from all sorts, from bad boys to sweet guys. They’re all better than that punk for certain 

Isabella had a sudden epiphany, alarm bells ringing in her head. Her eyes lit up as she rattled off a list of names to Christopher. “Can I choose from among them?” 

She fantasized, An Innocent–looking young man, a fierce–looking young man… Woohoo! 

Christopher wondered, What? I’m choosing a guy for my sister, not for her. Why is she being so excited? 

Suddenly, Christopher felt a chill in the air. He stole a glance and sure enough, Alexander’s had taken on a 

dark hue. 

What are doing?” Christopher asked on behalf of Alexander. 

“Recently, I’ve been following their drama, they’re quite handsome. Seeing them in person is a real treat for the eyes,” Isabella said, laughing heartily. 

Evian had also watched the drama. Upon hearing this, he nodded in agreement. 

Immediately, Christopher was having none of it. “Given my and Alex’s looks, do you guys really need to feast your eyes on someone else?” 

“It’s a matter of novelty,” Isabella said with a straight face. 

She thought, No matter how handsome you two are, it’s pointless. The fun lies in teasing the shy, uptight hunks until their faces turn red. These fellows here have all shown off their upper bodies on TV, and their physiques are clearly well–toned. Who knows, there might even be a chance to feel those abs! 

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, causing the corners of her mouth to curl up ecstatically. 

Evian responded, “Ahem! I’m going upstairs to check on Rosalie. 

Christopher added, “I’m coming too! How can that naughty girl skip dinner? Is she throwing a tantrum?” While the two of them were talking, the moved incredibly quickly. 

Isabella wore a look of utter bewilderment. 

Wait a minute, we haven’t decided yet on which cute guys to bring in to cheer up our girl, have we? 

When she turned around, she found Alexander looking at her with an impassive expression. However, there was something about his gaze that seemed hostile. 

Without giving it much thought, Isabella blinked and quickened her pace to catch up with the other two,

intending to check on Rosalie. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Alexander let out a soft sigh. He was just about to leave when he heard the footsteps of his parents from behind. 

David stepped forward, gently patting Alexander on the shoulder. “Ahem, everyone loves ogling at good- looking people, and young girls like to chase after celebrities. Although it’s normal for Bella to do that, she might not be interested in you anymore if you continue to keep your distance from her.” Leaning in closer, David whispered into Alexander’s car, “You might end up losing your wife!” 

Selena also stepped forward and glanced sideways. “Even if we take a step back, can you say you are not at fault? You can’t blame Bella. What kind of husband doesn’t allow his wife to touch him? She has no choice but to find a substitute.” 

Alexander What did I say? I didn’t say anything at all! She has never even tried to do it! How does she know that I to let her touch me? 

Unable to bear any further thought, Alexander felt as if his mind was being thrown into disarray. Upstairs, when Isabella arrived, she saw Christopher standing outside Rosalie’s door, fuming with anger. “Right, I simply don’t like that punk. I’m utterly against you two being together.” 

A muffled voice echoed from within the room, one that showed its desperation in defending something. “You… just because your relationship didn’t work out, you can’t stand to see others happily in love, I even think you’re not worthy of Luna!” 

“You!” 

Isabella thought mercilessly, Rosalie, one: Christopher, zero. 

Evian stepped in front of the livid Christopher, who was about to kick down door, and sighed, “Rosie, it’s Evie.” 

In the room, the distraught Rosalie assumed her sister would take her side. 

However, Evian couldn’t hold back and said, “Actually, I wasn’t really in favor of you and that guy. It’s not about being materialistic or clitist, but in a chauvinistic society, it’s hard to find a man who can tolerate a woman who is better than he is.” 

up 

Evian seemed to recall someone, her eyes gradually filling with disgust. She said, “If you two end together, he will undoubtedly face criticism and injustice in the future. In the end, he may most likely try to salvage his masculine pride by belittling and mistreating you.” 

The moment Evian finished speaking, she heard Rosalie crying out, “Evie, you can’t just assume everyone Is like that just from your own experience.” 

Evian said, “But judging by his behavior today, he’s definitely not the type who can keep his emotions in check. He isn’t willing to set aside his price for your sake.” 

“You were too harsh on him. You can’t hold him to such high standards. I’m the one going out with him, not you! Didn’t you give your all in the relationship back then? Why is it not acceptable when it’s my turn?” 

Evian was left speechless.

Isabella thought again, Evian versus Rosalie. Rosalie emerges victorious.

Evian and Christopher both turned to look at Isabella, their faces wearing indescribable expressions. Then, in a silent agreement, they gestured toward Isabella, inviting her to give it a try. 

Isabella thought, I don’t want to get involved. It’s so easy to get caught up in the throes of a first love, obsessing over every little detail, and no amount of talking can change that. Besides, it was Dominic who initiated the break–up. Given the extent of his pride, there’s no way he would reconsider. What’s the point in offering comfort when the outcome is already set? 

Suddenly, Rosalie could be heard wailing through the door. 

Evian and Christopher thought, Rosalie versus Isabella. Isabella wins! 

In the following week, Rosalie stayed at home, nursing her broken heart alone. Though she was still deeply upset, she wasn’t one to hold grudges and had long since reconciled with her family. However, there were no signs of a possible reconciliation with Dominic. When the school term began, she reluctantly packed. up her suitcase and returned to her dorm room. 

A month later, while enjoying her afternoon coffee in the backyard, Selena suddenly received a phone call. 

“Hey, hello, it’s me… Prof. Wilcox, we haven’t been in touch for a while. What happened?” Selena, who had been all smiles, suddenly wore a grim expression. “What? You’re saying Rosie gave up on applying for the international exchange student program? How could this be, we didn’t hear anything about it?” 

“Alright, alright, I understand,” Selena responded hastily. “I’ll seek her out and ask her. Thank you for your concern, Prof. Wilcox. Without wasting another moment, she immediately made a phone call. 

Evian was also anxiously waiting on the side. After all, that program was the primary reason her sister chose that school in the first place. Regardless of the hardship, she had always strived to maintain her position in the professional rankings. How could she possibly give up the opportunity to further her studies at the arts academy overseas? 

Upon answering the call, she was surprised to hear a man’s voice. “What kind of caller ID is this? Who are you?” 

“Wait… Isn’t this my daughter, Rosalie’s phone number?” 

Rosalie used world–renowned paintings for the caller ID of family members, making it hard for others to tell who they were. 

No sooner had Selena finished speaking than the other party hung up. 

Immediately, Selena became anxious, thinking that something had happened to Rosalie. 

Isabella thought, What the f*ck? It’s only been a short while since I’ve check, and I’ve just missed out on a ton of information that’s going on? This is outrageous! 

Due to being overwhelmed by shock, Isabella didn’t notice that the two people beside her had turned their gazes toward her. 

Isabella wondered, Could it be that Rosalie has actually learned to keep secrets from her family? She reconciled with Dominic three weeks ago. The reason she gave up her opportunity to study abroad was because Dominic was against long–distance relationships. He had made it clear that if she decided to go abroad, they would break up. Hence, Rosalie
