When Luna showed up after changing her clothes, Isabella wanted to say something but did not know
where to start.
After witnessing Luna’s experiences through the Gossip System. Isabella felt a heavy weight on her heart.
Isabella had been without a family since childhood and thought her life was filled with hardship. However. she never expected that Luna, despite having both parents and coming from a wealthy family, was living a life even more miserable than her own as an orphan.
Even though they were twins, Bianca was born frail and constantly plagued by illness. As a result. Henry and Marjorie had no choice but to take her abroad for treatment and recuperation.
Even though they brought Luna along, the couple spent limited time with her as they were constantly preoccupied with Bianca, who was often critically ill.
There were several instances where Luna was completely forgotten. Despite having a housekeeper to look after her, various unavoidable issues still arose.
Back then, Sophia was the head of the Cowell family. Upon hearing that Luna had been neglected, she immediately made a decision to bring her home and care for her personally.
That was why she did not develop a close relationship with her parents, considering she had left them at a young age and was raised by her grandmother.
Bianca had been showered with love since childhood, almost to the point of being spoiled. Her sister’s presence was rarely felt, so she naturally became accustomed to having everything to herself.
Upon returning home after her recovery, she could not stand the presence of someone who resembled her, seemingly taking away what was rightfully hers.
With that, Luna’s miserable life began.
Since the day they returned home as a family of three, it seemed that Luna had not broken into a genuine smile. Nonetheless, her lack of depression testified to her inner strength. She was wholly absorbed in her studies and research.
As the two walked down the stars together, Isabella could not help but ask. “Have you really decided to break off your engagement with Christopher?”
According to the gossip retrieved from the system, Luna had carried Christopher in her heart since the age of five.
Isabella could not understand what was so great about the arrogant man.
Without any hesitation, Luna nodded her head, indicating that she had given up on Christopher.
Isabella thought for a moment and said, “It’s all good. He doesn’t deserve you, anyway. You’re too good for him. You will lead a much happier life after dumping a terrible guy like him.”
Taken aback, Luna stared blankly at Isabella. She hadn’t expected Isabella to hit the nail on the head with her comment.

Chapter 19 Gossiping About Her
She had not only given up on Christopher but had also lost all hope in her parents and Bianca. Consequently, she planned to seize any opportunity to cut ties with her family, never to interact with them again.
Ultimately, all she wanted was to live a life that had nothing to do with Bianca.
“I’m sure I will. Thank you,” Luna uttered with a smile.
Coincidentally, as they entered the ballroom, it was the Cowell family’s turn to extend their congratulations to Evian.
The family of three seemed to have somehow forgotten they had another daughter.
Henry and Marjorie stood by Bianca’s side, one on her left and the other on her right.
“What wonderful news that Cal is found. May you enjoy better days ahead, Evian. Congratulations!”
“Congratulations. Evie and Call When Chris mentioned this to me earlier. I was so upset I nearly cried. Thankfully, a kind soul like you, Evie, is favored by God. Oh, by the way, Bianca Cowell brought you a gifi.”
Henry and Marjorie tried their best to make Bianca’s presence felt, but following the incident where they falsely claimed to be saviors in someone’s life, the Quirk family felt somewhat uneasy around them.
“Hmm? Where’s Luna?” Selena asked.
Henry and Marjorie were stunned, as if they had just realized Luna’s absence,
This girl has such poor manners. I wonder where she’s run off to.” Marjorie remarked impatiently. She considered Luna an embarrassment and was not too keen on others mentioning her thoughtless daughter.
Bianca observed Christopher from a distance and noticed that he had been a somber expression since his return a while ago. Knowing him fairly well, Bianca understood that he was in a terrible mood.
She suspected Luna was the cause, perhaps pursuing Christopher relentlessly and causing a conflict, leading to her absence now.
With these thoughts in mind, Bianca could not help but smirk satisfactorily. Yet, she asked worriedly. “Should I go look for my sister? She must be upset. I should find her and bring her back.”
Her obedient demeanor only accentuated Luna’s absence, creating the impression that Luma was being unreasonable.
“Bianca, you’re such a thoughtful girl. Forget about Luna! She tends to be temperamental and moody. Your foot injury hasn’t healed yet, so don’t move about carelessly.” Henry lovingly patted Bianca’s head as he spoke.
The very next moment, a voice was heard.
“Oh dear, I only just took you to change your clothes, how come…” Isabella’s voice trailed off, capturing the attention of everyone in the room.
The scene unfolded with Isabella, the host, standing right beside Luna.

Luna had exchanged her understated black dress for a sky–blue cocktail dress, perfectly complementing her fair complexion.
She stared expressionlessly at her relatives who had just schemed against her.
The situation instantly became somewhat awkward.
Alexander broke the silence, explaining. “Our guest’s skirt got accidentally wet, so I had my wife assist her in sorting it out
“Why didn’t you speak up just now?” Selena questioned.
Alexander glanced at the Cowell family and remarked, “I didn’t get a chance to say so.”
His words immediately caused the trio to blush in embarrassment. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
After all, they had just condemned Luna with their back–and–forth accusations, not giving anyone else at chance to speak.
Bianca felt the teasing and probing gazes around her and wished she could disappear into a hole.
Why has everything been going so wrong since I arrived at the Quirk manor? It’s all Luna’s fault!
Bianca glared discontentedly at Luna as she approached, remarking. “Oh, so you went to change your clothes. I thought you were angry with me, Luna.”
Henry and Marjorie also put the blame on Luna for the awkward situation. Why does she need to change her outfit?
Luna fixed Bianca with an icy stare. The fury in her eyes seemed poised to ignite.
It sent a shiver down Bianca’s spine, prompting her to ponder. Had Christopher mentioned the proposal to Lunat Was that why she seemed so angry!
Bianca could barely suppress the smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth as she cast a subtly triumphant expression at Luna.
If it had not been someone else’s banquet, Luna would not have held back any longer.
Luna was certain that Bianca had a part to play in the restroom incident, for which she was somehow made a scapegoat.
Luna tried to suppress her anger. She then sat down and remained silent.
The Cowells ignored her and continued socializing
At that moment, the previously distracted Christopher snapped back to his senses upon seeing Luna.
His expression kept changing as a lot was going on in his mind.
This is impossible. The person who saved me when I was a child was undoubtedly….
“Hey, what are the names of Mr. and Mrs. Quirk?”

Christopher turned around and saw Isabella talking softly to Alexander.
After Alexander responded, everyone in their family, except Callahan, sat up a little straighter. Despite still engaging in small talks with one another, their eyes sparkled with undeniable curiosity about the gossip, and they all instinctively leaned slightly toward Isabella
What’s going on?
“I see. I was wondering how I could have mistaken my savior. Turns out, that family of three worked out a plan to deceive everyone!”
The Quirks had similar speculations, but it did not quite add up. How could Luna be unaware of it?
Christopher’s facial expression changed once more as he surreptitiously glared at Isabella, curious to see how she would spin her tales.
