Chapter 377 Narcissist The Cooper Mansion.
Ulysses and Aiden had also seen the news. When they saw Isadora coming down the stairs, they exchanged peculiar glances.
Isadora noticed their looks and awkwardly approached them. "Why are you looking atlike that?" she asked. Aiden didn't say anything. He simply raised his phone and pointed to the trending topic.
"Isadora, I didn't expect you to stoop so low," Aiden said bluntly, clearly expressing his disdain for her actions. Isadora hadn't anticipated that the newspaper would release the full interview video so quickly. However, when she saw the online buzz, she smirked with satisfaction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith the netizens stirring things up, maybe she and Leon could actually end up together. If that happened, Isadora would definitely thank those netizens.
"I just did a normal interview. What's wrong with that?" she said. "And I didn't release the video, nor can I control the online discussions. It has nothing to do with me." With that, Isadora smiled and walked away.
Aiden's mouth twitched as he mimicked Isadora's tone. Ulysses, watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh.
"Con, there's no need to get worked up over an outsider. Leon and Tiffany are so in love; they wouldn't let someone like her cause any trouble," Ulysses said. "Isadora thinks she can use online pressure to force Leon to be with her. She's dreaming." Ulysses didn't hold back his words. He didn't think Isadora could compare to Tiffany at all. And with Leon's unwavering support for Tiffany, Isadora had already lost.
Moreover, knowing Leon's personality, the more pressure there was, the less likely he would agree to be with Isadora. Even if Tiffany weren't around, Leon wouldn't choose Isadora. Only Isadora would be foolish enough to be pleased with herself. In reality, no one cared about her.
Meanwhile, Octavia found herself at the seaside café once again. She had been following Tiffany's advice and hadn't sought out Caspian for days. But she missed him so much that she decided to sneak out and see him, hoping to gauge his reaction.
As she pushed open the door, she couldn't hide her smile. But when she stepped inside, Caspian was nowhere to be seen. Instead, she saw another young woman.
The girl, who looked a few years older than Octavia, immediately approached with a sweet smile and a menu. "Miss, what would you like to drink?" Octavia was momentarily stunned before realizing the girl was a waitress. Still, she felt a pang of sadness. When she pursued Caspian, she offered to work at his café to show him her sincerity. But Caspian had firmly rejected her.
"My café doesn't need outsiders," he had said. Yet here was this girl working as a waitress. Was she not an outsider? Why was Octavia considered one? Taking a deep breath, Octavia looked at the girl. She was indeed cute and seemed mature, unlike Octavia's own childishness. Was this Caspian's type? Octavia reminded herself to stay calm and trust Tiffany's words. "Where's Caspian?" she asked directly.
"Sorry, miss. The boss isn't here today," the girl replied with another sweet smile. Octavia glanced at her phone, remembering that today was the anniversary of Caspian's ex-fiancée's death. He always bought a bouquet of daisies and visited her grave. Octavia had accompanied him once and seen the photo on the tombstone. Caspian's ex-fiancée had a gentle appearance. If she were still alive, Octavia wouldn't have disliked her. "Since he's not here, I'll leave," Octavia said, feeling the café was too gloomy without Caspian. She turned to leave quickly, not noticing someone else entering. She walked straight into the person's chest.

You are pretty, but you look a bit young." Octavia, just barely an adult, faced a man who was clearly five or six years older. "You're delusional," she retorted, rolling her eyes.
He wasn't offended and continued to tease her. "But if I remember correctly, you were the one who ran into my arms. So, who's delusional here?"
Octavia laughed in exasperation. She had never met someone so m self-absorbed. She stomped on his NO foot, making him wince in pain. He pointed at her, angry but unable to scold her when he saw her face.
Octavia stuck out her tongue, made a face, and ran off. As she left, shen turned back to shout, "My beauty is wasted on someone like you. You're just a narcissist!"
She ran off quickly, afraid he might chase her. He couldn't help but laugh at her antics. It had been a while Since he had met someone so interesting. This trip had been worth it.
"Sorry, that was the boss's friend. Mr. Gutierrez, please have a seat. I'll notify the boss right away," the waitress said.
"Alright," he replied.
