marrying
Chapter 101
As if afraid that the passersby weren’t getting enough juicy gossip, several ladies from Arcton Cars each held a megaphone and shouted at the surroundings.
“Isabel, you finally have a recognized status. Are you happy now that you got what you wanted?”
“Yeah, Isabel. Dylan is seriously injured in a car accident an ying in the hospital. Why didn’t you go see him? Could it be that you are going to abandon him. heartlessly?”
These young ladies kept getting bullied by Isabel at work in the past. All of them had been holding a grudge. So, they were all fired up today and swore to take revenge. They could not wait to get everyone to come and watch the drama.
After this whole spectacle, all the passersby stopped to look at them. Many people were pointing and discussing. Some even took out their phones to take photos.
Isabel had just finished walking the dog in the neighborhood. She was heading
upstairs. As she did not leave the neighborhood, she was still unaware of the drama at the entrance of the neighborhood.
When she carried her dog into the elevator, she noticed that the residents around her were giving her strange looks. But she did not overthink things. She just brushed it off as envy from these people, thinking that it was because she was so beautiful. She happily tossed her hair in satisfaction.
When she stepped out of the elevator onto her own floor, she bumped into her neighbor next door. The neighbor wanted to say something but hesitated, eventually telling her about what had happened at the entrance of the neighborhood. It was only then that she realized that the strange looks she received earlier weren’t because of envy, but because people were watching the commotion.
“Isabel, those people out there said that his wife is pregnant, yet you still got involved with her husband. Is this true?” The middle–aged female neighbor looked at her with a probing gaze. Although it was a question, she had pretty much formed a conclusion. Isabel usually dressed improperly and brought men home. every now and then. They all saw that.

Isabel struggled to force a smile. She denied it, saying, “Of course it’s not true,” she said. “They’re intentionally trying to smear my reputation.”
“Oh, I see,” the neighbor said. “Well, you should hurry up and put a stop to it then. You can’t just let them bully you as they please!”
“Forget it,” Isabel said. “I can’t be bothered to deal with……” She thought, ‘I don’t dare to go downstairs. If I go, it’s like admitting that I’m the woman who seduces a married man. If Valerie shows evidence again, I will thoroughly lose face!”
Isabel never imagined that things would turn out like this. She was furious, yet there was nothing she could do. She hurriedly carried her dog and returned to her room to hide.
However, even if she closed the door and shut the windows tightly, she could not stop the mocking voices that resounded throughout the neighborhood.
She was so angry that she turned on the television and cranked up the volume of the television drama to its maximum, attempting to drown out the noises outside. Then, she opened a short–video app to distract herself.
After casually scrolling through two short videos, she saw a video posted by someone around Lucktown East. That person happened to capture the ceremonial music and banner at the entrance of the neighborhood. The caption read, “Never thought there would be such a shameless person in the neighborhood. Steer clear of this Isabel in the future. Bad luck!”
The video received over two thousand likes, and the comments section was filled. with mocking remarks. Not only did this video spread within Lucktown East, but it was also seen by people from nearby neighborhoods.
Isabel was so angry that her nose was crooked. She fiercely hurled her phone against the wall.
After going through all that for two hours, Valerie called to have the band pack up and stop playing.
The female employees from Arcton Cars still wanted more.
“It’s so satisfying today!”

“Yeah. She was so unreasonable in the past. She probably never thought she would end up like this!”
“I think we should broadcast it in Lucktown E: for three days and three nights to make her learn a lesson well!”
Valerie could not help but laugh. “Three days and three nights?” she said. “You’re going to drive her crazy. While her behavior may not be morally acceptable, there’s no legal constraint on her. Giving her this kind of lesson is enough, and I believe she won’t dare to do it again.”
She thought, Just stop at the right moment. No need to keep entangling with that kind of person.
As long as
Valerie had always been a principled person. She worked to earn mothered.
someone did not affect her earning money, she usually could not be bothered.
Party
However, if the offended her and even bullied her friends, she would not readily let it slide.
She was relatively free today. Before long, it was lunch break. Her colleagues went to eat in groups of two and three, chatting about today’s events with relish.
On the other hand, Valerie called Matthew. He had helped her a lot yesterday. Now, she felt it was necessary to talk to him about the aftermath of Dylan’s situation.
