Chapter 2127
Before Isabel could respond, Isabella asked with a sly smirk, "That BJD sure looks nice. From who did your brother
borrow it? Do you happen to know?"
As soon as she spat these words out, everyone who was gawking at the car made a face, and the envy in their eyes
soon faded.
The ones who were closer friends with Isabel opted for silence while some of the others did not attempt to conceal
the mocking look in their eyes.
'If you could not afford it, then so be it. Why borrow something so expensive to prove a point? How embarrassing.'
Isabel grimaced.
She figured that someone must have overheard her dialogue with Amanda and Carla yesterday after Flint left.
Isabella must be intentionally bringing this up when she knew the others were listening so that she could humiliate
her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabel barely acknowledged Isabella. She took her luggage and continued heading towards the car.
Flint had stepped out of the car as well and was approaching her. As soon as he revealed himself, everyone
became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The other guest stars standing in a row opened their eyes wide, transfixed in shock.
Due to their stark surprise at how handsome Flint was, they completely brushed past the fact that he had borrowed
the BJD. Trying to shame him was the last thing on their minds.
"Isabel’s brother sure is handsome," one of them expressed without any subtlety, completely wowed by Flint.
Isabella scoffed disinterestedly, "I suppose so, but he's just an ordinary lab researcher by the looks of it. I wonder
where he borrowed such an expensive car from.”
As soon as she said this, the guest star's expression dropped, and nobody made any further comments.
"Still, I don't think it's easy to borrow a carthat expensive," Liz blurted out. She was one of the guest stars who was
on relatively good terms with Isabel. She was a frequent guest on variety shows, and since she was not considered
very popular in mainstream media, she was careful not to upset Isabella.
Despite that, she could no longer stomach Isabella's blatant attempt at undermining Isabel, which was why she
blurted out her opinion.
Isabella sneered. "Not easy for you. If I wanted to, I could just spend a bit of money and get someone to lend me a
BJD easily."
After noticing Liz’s scowl, Isabella smiled contentedly and strode off with her assistant.
Soon, the others dispersed from the scene as well.
Liz heaved a sigh of relief before sending a text to Isabel to tell her to not worry about what Isabella said. She
assured her that the others did not badmouth her in any way.
Meanwhile, Isabel had already gotten into Flint's car and was already on the way home.
When she noticed the text from Liz, she felt comforted and replied, "I see, thanks for telling me this, Liz."
It was no big deal since she had made up the part about Flint borrowing the car.
She barely paid attention to what Isabella said about her. Still, she had to admit she felt very warm and fuzzy inside
that Liz took the initiative to approach her and offer support.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmApart from the occasional shooting on the set of "The Wonder", Isabel spent the majority of her time lazing around
at home.
After wasting away in this manner for half a month, she was getting ready to pull herself together and join the film
crew on an upcoming new show. That was when she received a call from Amanda.
Amanda called to notify her that the mentioned upcoming show had to be postponed due to the conflicting
schedule of a certain male lead. The male lead of said show was also very famous in the industry and had a lot of
other obligations to attend to.
Isabel frowned and mumbled, "Okay, then."
Amanda expressed her displeasure as well, "I don't know how long they will have to postpone it. It's ridiculous. We
had an agreement! They must have seen what happened with you lately and decided that it would be easy to push
us around now. That's why they changed the date without bothering to consult us.”
The entertainment industry was certainly very tooth and nail. If you had any sort of leverage, you could be
untouchable. If not, you were at the mercy of others.
Isabel grimaced and tried to shrug it off. "It's fine. I have more time to rest in this case.”
Amanda sighed, then suddenly mentioned, "One more thing: I received an invitation to a certain event."
Isabel asked, "What is it about? Where is it held?"
Amanda told her, "It's a jewelry exhibition at Southboro.”
