Gossip Girl Reborn



Chapter 53 Is She Still Foolish

In the ordinary residential parking lot, David and Selena, along with Alexander, who had come back in a hurry, were sitting in the car with Isabella, who was eager to enjoy the show on the spot.

They could see the figure of Rosalie standing not too far behind the entrance seemingly waiting for someone of the corridor.

In the end, she still chose to come see Dominic again. Disappointment was clear in the eyes of David and Selena.

Upon seeing that, Alexander slowly said, “Perhaps she’s here to confront him or to seek closure.”

After all, the look on Rosalie’s face was no longer that of longing for love, but rather, it was one of icy aloofness.

In the space between the parking lot and the residential area, groups of elderly men and women gathered, their voices growing louder. True to their reputation as the neighborhood’s most efficient information network, nothing escaped their watchful eyes. They were privy to every detail, every bit of gossip from every household.

As boredom set in, Isabella listened to their casual chatter about everyday life.

Yet, in the next moment, the atmosphere inside the car grew tense, because those people were currently gossiping about Rosalie.

It seemed that Rosalie had also sensed something, as she lifted her gaze toward the group of elderlies.

“What? Did Dominic’s mother really say that?”

“That’s right. She even said whether they really ended up marrying is still up in the air and wasn’t bothered about them cohabitating. Kendra also said it’s normal for her precious son to find a woman to keep him company before getting married and doesn’t care who he brings home.”

“She’s got some nerve. Any girl who ends up with her son is truly in for a streak of bad luck.”

“In my opinion, any girl who is willing to casually cohabitate with a man deserves it. She has no sense of shame. If she can’t even respect herself, why should anyone else respect her?”

“Oh, come on. What era are we even in…” 

This comment caused the expressions of the Quirk family in the car to darken considerably. Although they were aware that such rumors were inevitable, actually hearing them was still incredibly heartbreaking.

Isabella squinted at Rosalic, sensing that her expression at that moment must have been completely different from when she talked to her family previously.

“But Kendra seemed quite close with that girl the last time she came over, didn’t she? She treated her as if she was her precious daughter.”

“She was just pretending. The girl had barely left when she began to brag to us.” The speaker even mimicked Kendra’s tone in a sarcastic manner. “She’s a prominent young lady of a wealthy family and completely smitten with Dominic, so much so that she insisted on living with us. But I say, so what if she’s a heiress? In the future, she’ll still have to serve our family. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have even let her step foot in our house.”

Everyone else was in stitches, but it was unclear whether they were laughing at the confused young woman or the boastful Kendra.

“Kendra was bragging to us that they would be getting married soon. She said the girl couldn’t wait any longer, fearing her boyfriend would be snatched away by someone else. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have moved in to keep an eye on him.”

“Her son is a living parasite who doesn’t do any productive work. Apart from having a good- looking face, he’s idle all day, always dreaming big but doing little. Who could possibly be interested in him?”

“I know, right? She even boasted about her son’s capabilities, claiming that her family wouldn’t have to pay a single cent for the bride price when her son marries that girl. According to her, it’s the girl who insisted on marrying anyway. She even insinuated that they might have to provide a hefty dowry just to ensure her son treats the girl well.”

“Oh, this I know. I heard from Madeline last time that the poor girl’s family will not only have to finance Madeline’s overseas education but also buy a car, a house, and find a job for Dominic!”

“They must be dreaming. Do they think everyone else is a fool?”

“Well, it’s hard to say. After all, the two are already living together before marriage, which. devalues the girl. If word gets out, she’ll be treated as a once–married woman if she wants to find someone else. If there’s an unexpected pregnancy, the girl’s family will have no choice but to accept this relationship.”

Surprisingly, after living together for three weeks, a slew of rumors had already started. circulating. It turned out that Dominic’s mother Kendra and Madeline were working tirelessly to spread them.

Presumably, the intention was to tarnish and if Rosalie were any more foolish, thalie’s reputation. If elopement was added to the mix, she would indeed be in a tricky situation, difficult to back out from.

Upon turning around, Isabella saw that Selena was already holding back tears. David, with his arm around Selena, was comforting her. “It’s all my fault for not disciplining Rosalie strictly enough, causing her to grow up so naive and innocent.”

“No, it’s my fault. I’ve been too protective of her. All the blame is on me.” Selena’s voice was. choked with emotion.

Alexander’s brows furrowed slightly as he spoke up. “This is neither of your fault. People must go through certain experiences to grow.”

The Quirk family had provided them with generous material wealth. They had never struggled or fought for anything alwave heine namnered hur these around them. Their family life was incredibly harmonious, which naturally made them susceptible to being taken advantage of in their relationships with others. Isabella didn't quite know what to say, so she simply commented, "Thankfully, it seems like Rosalie has come to her senses."

In Isabella's perspective, Rosalie's enlightenment seemed to have been triggered merely because. the other party refused to stoop low and cook a meal at the Quirk manor, or perhaps she had discovered the secret behind that meal. Isabella doubted that Rosalie suspected anything else.

After Isabella finished speaking, three pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to look at her, their expressions noticeably softer.

"What?" Isabella asked, puzzled.

Suddenly, Alexander said, "Rosie is leaving."

Upon turning back, Isabella indeed saw Rosalie answering a phone call and then dashing out.

The driver quickly caught up, and soon, they returned to the university.

Oh, so the entire family of that scumbag is at the school to help Madeline with the exchange student procedures. But they need to pay in advance, and given that Dominic's parents have ordinary jobs, they simply can't afford it unless they sell their house. So, Madeline is counting on Rosalie to foot the bill. They just didn't expect to only get in touch with Rosalie today. Are they urging Rosalie to hurry over to make the payment? The Quirks wore grim expressions, and they secretly pledged to themselves that if Rosalie continued her foolish behavior, they would not hesitate to bring her to her knees right there and then.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

In no time, Rosalie burst into the office, only to find three of the Campos family members there.

Rosalie had personally entertained Brian and Kendra before.

"Rosie, you're here!" The first to greet her was Kendra.

However, the mere thought of Kendra speaking ill of her behind her back while pretending to be affectionate on the surface made Rosalie feel sick to her stomach.

She sidestepped Kendra's outstretched hand, moving toward Madeline.

"Rosie, I was worried you wouldn't make it," Madeline said, acting as if the events of that day hadn't occurred. She quickly tried to persuade Rosalie, "Rosie, it's a dire situation. Can you help me out? I've arranged everything, but I'm just a bit short on money. Could you cover for me now, and I'll pay you back later?"

Upon hearing these words, the staff in charge couldn't help but exchange a glance.

After all, Rosalie had given up her spot for love, passing it on to her boyfriend's sister. Now, she even had to pay the latter's fees. To them, this was utterly dumb, and Rosalie would be a fool to

Rosalie had never noticed those looks before. But this time, with just a single glance, she saw clearly the contempt and ridicule others held for her.

Rosalie felt as though she could hardly breathe.

"Where's Dominic?" Rosalie asked, forcing down her nausea.

Madeline found Rosalie's behavior a bit odd, as she surprisingly didn't address him as "Dom."

Still, she answered, "He heard you were coming earlier and figured you probably haven't had lunch yet, so he went home to cook something for you. He'll bring it over soon, considering how time- consuming it can be here. After all, he insisted that you shouldn't go hungry."

After finishing, she whispered into Rosalie's ear, "Look, it's one thing for my brother to cook for you, but don't you dare think about having him cook for your entire family. That's just disrespectful to him."

No sooner had Madeline finished speaking than she saw Rosalie glaring at her intently. The look on the latter's face was so fierce, it was as if she was about to pounce and tear her apart, making Madeline instinctively take a step back.

Meanwhile, the four members of the Quirk family were heading toward the office building when they suddenly spotted a man briskly walking into the hallway, carrying something.

Upon closer inspection, the man was indeed handsome.

"Huh?" Isabella voiced.

"What's wrong?" Alexander asked.

Oh, it really is Dominic! The jerk finally shows his face.
