Finished Alexander was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly heard Isabella say something. Before he could even react, Isabella had already grabbed him, and they were running.

They were originally planning to head to the underground garage after dinner, ready to retrieve their car and leave.

As a result, Isabella suddenly pulled him behind a colum.

Then, the sound of the conversation between the man and the woman came through.

At that moment, Alexander remembered. Originally, the Winters and Carney families were supposed to have a dinner gathering that night, likely right here. After all, most of the high–end restaurants in the city were located in this mall owned by Quirk Group.

Although Damien shouldn’t have attended such gatherings, he was certainly aware of the location.

Timing–wise, by the time the gathering dispersed, Damien was perfectly positioned to intercept people.

It was truly quite a coincidence that they were able to meet If there was a gossip deity. Isabella was definitely the favored one.

At that moment, Isabella was brimming with excitement, much like a paparazzi who had stumbled upon a juicy scoop. She was sneakily observing from behind a car, her head bobbing in and out of view.

Even the esteemed Alexander had no choice but to hide himself. If the security personnel in the surveillance room saw their big boss engaged in such activities, they would certainly doubt their own sanity.

“What on earth is going on?” Deborah asked, looking at Damien who seemed to be on the verge of saying something but stopped, beginning to feel puzzled.

It seemed as though this was the first time the two of them had arranged to meet alone, which felt rather unfamiliar, despite both of them having known each other for a long time, and they were even going to become in–laws soon.

However, Deborah was rather skeptical about whether the two of them could get along harmoniously. After all, she always felt their personalities were not compatible.

She was the type who took time to warm up to people, her friends were always the ones to initiate contact, pulling her into their social circles. So, it was unlikely for her to take the initiative to get to know someone.

Damien was typically outgoing, yet he never made an effort to socialize with her. As a result, their friendship was rather superficial, as if it had never truly been established. It was merely sustained by the passage of time.

Damien was warm and enthusiastic toward others, yet toward Deborah, he was indifferent and distant. It seemed like a case of incompatible personalities.

So, being asked out alone that night, and being told there was something important to discuss in truly took Deborah by surprise.

person, Chapter 270 Endure it Finished At that moment, the two individuals hiding behind the distant car couldn’t help but feel their hearts leap with apprehension.

Is he really about to confess his feelings? At such a critical moment? Is it because he was annoyed with his sister and Oliver? So, is this going to lead to a fight over the bride?

The more Isabella thought about it, the more excited she became.

Even Alexander was somewhat uncertain about what would happen next..

Finally, Damien began to speak.

Gradually, disappointment started to cloud Isabella’s face, while Alexander’s demeanor slowly turned indifferent.

Well, this guy isn’t confessing his feelings. He simply revealed what was going on between Oliver and Ruby.

“Sorry.” After Damien uttered those words, he looked at Deborah with a complex expression.

Deborah was indeed taken aback. “He’s quite audacious It’s one thing to mess with other women, but to dare touch your sister, he’s not afraid of creating a major scandal within the family.”

“That’s how things stand. No matter what decision you choose to make, I’ll be there to support you.”

Damien declared.

Deborah was taken aback for a moment. “What do I want to do? I don’t really care. It’s the Winters family and the Willis family who should be worried. In fact, itdoesn’t concern me much.”

Damien froze, then let out a laugh. It felt as if he was mocking himself. “Sure enough,” he said. “I shouldn’t have thought of you as a fragile girl.”

Deborah was somewhat taken aback by the expression on Damien’s face at that moment. It was as if his eyes, which were looking at her, were hiding some kind of secret.

However, she didn’t have much curiosity, merely shrugged her shoulders and said, “It doesn’t matter if my future husband is a saint or a sinner, as long as the one who runs the household, my mother–in–law, is decent.

Damien gave a light smile, his expression tinged with bitterness. “Aunt Lydia is a wonderful person,”

he said, “She will treat you well.”

With a faint smile, Deborah then said, “Thank you for letting me know about this. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”

Being alone with Damien always made her feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Damien nodded, In the end, Isabella and Alexander could only watch as Damien’s desolate gaze followed Deborah’s car as it drove away.

Once the two of them got in the car, Isabella finally couldn’t hold back her frustration and scoffed.

“Hmph! What a waste of my emotions!”

Alexander, on the other hand, didn’t find it surprising.

Finisher Isabella couldn’t help but turn around and question Alexander, “Do you think he came to complain because he was worried about Deborah, afraid that she might not know about the troublemaker who is so close by, or was he hoping that once Deborah knew about this connection, she would finally be unable to accept Oliver and call off the marriage alliance?”

Alexander said, “Both are true. The primary goal was the former, but what he truly desired was the latter. He was fond of Deborah, so how could he not wish to change the marriage alliance?”

Isabella suddenly came to her senses, looking at Alexander in surprise. “You… you know?” she asked.

With an air of understanding, Alexander confidently stated from atop his horse. “I figured it out a long time ago.”

“You really let me down, not even telling me!” Isabella immediately turned the tables.

She knew through the system that it was a sensitive issue, so how could Alexander have known about such a huge secret and still kept it from her?

I have shot myself in the foot….

Isabella didn’t pick a fight with Alexander, now that they both had roughly the same information, it was naturally time for them to indulge in some gossip.

*If that’s the case, then Damien is truly despicable. He didn’t dare to fight for love himself, yet he hoped that Deborah would take the initiative. Honestly, Damien’s long–standing secret crush, though touching. was merely self–indulgent. He’s a coward, unworthy of Deborah,” Isabella stated bluntly.

Though Alexander understood Damien’s deep gratitude toward Lydia, for her life–saving favor and the opportunities she provided, he had to admit that Damien’s handling of the situation was rather poor.

“Truthfully, in Damien’s perspective, he had already snatched away the possibility of the benefactor’s son inheriting the family business. He just couldn’t bear to also take away the chance of the benefactor arranging the most suitable bride for his son. Hence, why things turned out this way…

“But isn’t the Winters family’s fortune supposed to go to the most capable?” Isabella countered.

“So he became fixated on the idea that without Mdm. Lydia, he would have been long dead, and he wouldn’t have developed the skills he has now. He believed that his ability to inherit the family business was all thanks to Mdm. Lydia. If Mdm. Lydia had been selfish and ignored him when he was young, it’s very likely that everything in the Winters family would have belonged to Oliver.

Moreover, he felt that Oliver’s current pitiful state might very well be the result of his own actions and the comparisons drawn between them.”

Isabella was truly at a loss for words. Everything was just a complete mess Of course, in this relationship, Deborah was essentially an outsider, so there was no need for her to view things from the perspective of a victim. Isabella was simply venting about Damien’s less–than–

impressive romantic gestures.

With a whirlwind of emotions, the engagement party had finally arrived.

This time, the whole family was on the move again.

The Quirk family never missed any opportunity to attend events with Isabella.

Chapter 270 Endure it After all, who knew what exciting drama they might miss out on?

Finished It had to be said, there were quite a few people who shared a similar mindset with the Quirk family.

Upon arriving at the venue. Isabella felt as if she was attracting more intense gazes than usual.

Uh. I couldn’t shake off this sudden feeling of pressure, even though there is indeed much gossip around, they are all dumb ones, incapable of causing any uproar. At most, I can oily secretly observe the undercurrents beneath their surfaces. Like this one right here, his dark circles were impossible to hide. Tough it out, coward! This is the path you chose for yourself.

The Quirk family followed Isabella’s gaze and saw Damien accompanying a very dignified and elegant lady, welcoming guests.
