After giving Alexander a quick heads–up, she hopped into the minivan prepared by the agency.

Soon, Hayden, together with the new assistant, Thalia Jenkins, and the styling team arrived at the Silvinubis Hotel in the neighboring city. 

Due to the great fanfare that accompanied Hayden’s arrival, anyone not in the know would have thought. that Christopher had come. 

When an acquaintance approached to say hello, they were taken aback upon seeing a stunning–looking 

woman. 

Those in the industry who had their ear to the ground knew that Christopher had broken up with Bianca. They didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, he would have his team escorting another woman. This was big news indeed. 

Those with keen eyes might have found Isabella somewhat familiar. After all, she had appeared in various magazines and most billboards related to Quirk Group This made her connection with Christopher event more intriguing. 

“Hayden, you’re here. What has Mr. Christopher been so busy with? We haven’t seen him around lately, and who might this be?” 

This is our agency’s newly signed artist, Isabella Jeannet. Everyone, I hope you will provide her with your support in the future.” 

“Hayden, spill the beans. Who is she to Mr. Christopher?” 

“They’re not romantically linked, and she comes from an influential background. She’s a social elite, so she’s just here as a hobby.” 

In order to avoid any potential trouble, Hayden made sure to emphasize this point. Moreover, anyone who was competent would surely uncover her identity. 

At the red wine tasting party, Hayden took care of all the social interactions. All Isabella needed to do was to follow behind him, raising her wine glass with a polite smile and recognizing faces and names. 

This level of protection naturally elevated everyone’s perception of Isabella’s status. 

And so, the entire event was of Hayden skillfully navigating social interactions, while Isabella was happily enjoying the spectacle, thoroughly entertained. 

Nevertheless, in such a situation, there were more working staff than celebrities, hence the gossip was 

limited. 

Over time, there wasn’t much drama for Isabella to notice. 

Just as boredom was about to get the best of her, she turned her head and was so surprised she nearly dropped her wine glass. 

Suddenly, Bianca appeared, briskly walking in their direction.

Isabella somewhat understood why Luna had wanted to ruin her own face in the past. When that face. appeared, it truly made one momentarily confused, a sensation that was enough to disgust Luna. 

That aside, what is she doing here? 

Bianca had come specifically for Hayden. From a distance, she spotted Hayden and assumed that Christopher would be with him. Unexpectedly, it was Isabella who was by Hayden’s side. 

She paused for a moment, not daring to offend Isabella. Instead, she anxiously asked Hayden, “Hayden, is Chris here?” 

Hayden was annoyed, yet he managed to maintain a professional smile. “Nope.” 

However, Bianca refused to believe it, “Could it be that he’s here but refuses to see me?” 

Although Bianca didn’t raise her voice much, her commotion still managed to draw curious glances from many people present. 

This irked Hayden immensely. If the media caught wind of this, it would surely become a trending topic. The previous rumors about the two of them were already enough to give him a headache. 

As an agent, it was unacceptable to let his client face such troubles. 

Knowing that Bianca was not one to listen to others, Hayden had no choice but to shift the focus away. “Ms. Bianca, why don’t we take this discussion outside? 

“Alright, take me to Chris. 

Hayden’s face frozen as he turned to look at Isabella. 

Isabella was also at her wit’s end. Luna was truly down on her luck. If the two sisters happened to cross paths, she was genuinely afraid that crazy Bianca would cause a scene. 

Seeing Hayden look her way, Isabella said. “I’m tired and planning to go out for a stroll. I’m fine with just Thalia accompanying me.” 

Hayden gave a nod, and swiftly, he and a few others left the venue, leaving behind a crowd that yearned for more drama, yet could only watch on helplessly. 

The Silvinubis Hotel was divided into three buildings. One was dedicated to dining, entertainment, and leisure activities; another was for accommodation; and the third was designated for meetings and other 

cvents. 

Once Isabella parted ways with Hayden, she returned to her room to change. At the same time, he sent a message to Luna. 

“Luna, I’m at the Silvinubis Hotel attending an event. thought I caught a glimpse of you. Are you here 

too?” 

There was no response. 

Isabella wasn’t sure if the other party hadn’t noticed her message or simply chose not to respond. After all, she was Christopher’s sister–in–law, someone the latter might have wanted to completely eliminate from her life.

Nevertheless, the well–intentioned Isabella gave Luna a heads–up. “By the way, I saw Bianca at the event earlier. I hope you won’t run into her.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

When there was still no response, there was nothing more that Isabella could do. 

Together with Thalia, she headed toward the entertainment zone. 

Upon arriving at the first–floor lobby, they noticed a large crowd had gathered, their steps halted as they watched the unfolding scene with interest. 

How could I possibly miss this? 

Immediately, Isabella and Thalia stopped in their tracks and rushed forward to take a look. 

It was a sight to behold. A man was seen kneeling down, clinging to a woman’s leg. Both of them appeared to be in their early twenties. 

The man bellowed. “Anais, I love you. I can’t live without you. If you reject me, I won’t be able to continue living!” 

The woman’s eyes welled up with tears. “Zeke, stop it! People are staring!” 

“Anais, I’m sorry. It was all because I love and care about you too much. I acted impulsively in the heat of the moment because you got too that other man!” 

“Don’t spout nonsense, you clearly knew he was my professor! You always jump to conclusions… Forget it. I don’t want to discuss this anymore. We’ve already broken up. I…” 

“I don’t want to break up. Please give me a chance to make things right. I’m begging you,” the man pleaded, his voice rising brimming with emotion. 

The woman could only express her grievance. “You’ve on more than one occasion acted out of irrational jealousy toward other men around me. You’ve made me embarrass myself to so many people. My friends say this is a psychological issue that you can’t change. They’ve advised me to break up with you. I have given you a chance before, but you’ve become violent again. I’m utterly disappointed in you.” 

“Those people have ulterior motives. Being a woman, you wouldn’t understand how a man thinks, but I do. I know what they were up to. I did all this to protect you!” 

“You’re simply not making any sense! I should have heeded their advice and never seen you again. 

“I was wrong, I was wrong. As long as you can forgive me, I’ll do anything you say hit the wrong person, so I’ll punish myself!” Having said that, the man began to repeatedly slap his own face. 

The crowd whispered among themselves. 

The woman held back for a moment, but she couldn’t bear it any longer. She quickly grabbed his hands, her heart aching still 

“Stop it Our issues aren’t as simple as this!” 

“I understand that you’re still bothered by that incident I’ve told you, there was nothing between her and me! I’ve completely cut off all contact with her.”

“But my friend told me, they saw you two together again. They said you deceived me, asking me not to take you back.” 

The man’s face contorted. “Nonsense, tell her to prove it! Didn’t you say your friend has been unlucky in love? She’s clearly just jealous of our relationship.” 

“She isn’t like that. She is a good person and very y accomplished. You can’t talk about her like that. She was only looking out for me! There were so many times when we argued, and she was always there to take me in and comfort me!” 

“Would she sow discord if she really wanted the best for you? Yes, I might have acted impulsively, but everything I did was out of jealousy, Can you deny that? Did she even deny my feelings for you? She simply can’t stand to see you happy!” 

“It’s not… It’s not like that!” Even though she denied it, ber eyes clearly showed her wavering. 

“We’ve been together for so many years; would you really rather believe an outsider than me? Sure, I might have a few quirks, but I genuinely love you! We used to be perfectly fine, but ever since you started hanging out with her, you’ve changed. You used to be so good, but now you find fault in everything I do. It must be her stirring things up, whispering in your car, and brainwashing you.”

“No, it’s not like that. Everything she said makes sense. You’re too controlling. I don’t have can’t even decide what clothes to wear on my own. Others have tried to advise me too. I was too caught up in it to see clearly,” the woman said, her expression tom 

“All those things are trivial. I just wanted to take care of you! And there’s something you’re unaware of, your friend actually has feelings for me!” 

The woman gasped in shock, “What? That can’t be, she clearly…” 

“Every time I come to see you, she would always be watching me, constantly encouraging you to break up with me. If that’s not a secret crush, then what is it? She’s just trying to tear us apart. But I have no interest, in her, and I certainly wasn’t going to give her any opportunity!” The man spoke with righteous indignation. 

The woman was completely taken aback, as if she had been blindsided by this possibility. 

“But she… she’s gorgeous, just like a big movie star. Why wouldn’t you be interested…” 

“The one I love is you. Even if a stunning beauty were to undress in front of me, I wouldn’t be interested!” 

“I… I’ll go and ask her. If it turns out to be true, I’ll forgive you and give you another chance. But if it’s false… let’s just call it quits. I don’t want to be heartbroken over you again!” After a moment of struggle, the woman managed to push the man away and turned to run. 

The man, having knelt for too long, had numb legs, which prevented him from having the chance to catch up with the woman. 

What are all of you staring at, scram!” The man seemed to finally notice the crowd that had gathered to watch his embarrassing spectacle, outraging him. 

Isabella and Thalia also walked away from the crowd. A they strolled, they chatted and gossiped. 

“Isabella, do you think they’ll make up?” Thalia asked curiously.

“They will,” Isabella speculated. Since she didn’t know the whole name, she couldn’t use the system, nor could he verify its authenticity. So, she could only make a wild guess. 

But I have a 

“Huh? So you’re saying you believe everything that man just said?” Thalia asked quizzically. “But I feeling that he’s not a good person.” 

“I’m not sure if what he said is true, but judging from that woman’s reaction earlier, reconciliation is just a matter of time. Isabella stated. “If what the man said is true, then there’s nothing more to discuss. But if he was lying, then I can only sympathize with this woman’s friend.” 

Thalia added, “Exactly. The friend was just trying to help, but he misconstrued it as having a crush on him and tried to sow discord by painting her as the villain.” 

That wasn’t the scariest part.” 

Thalia nibbled on her crepe, casting a puzzled glance in Isabella’s direction. 

Isabella, with candied fruit in her mouth, mumbled, “The worst part is that the woman shifted all the blame onto her friend. This made the man only resent the friend for stirring up trouble. If they were to reconcile later, this friend would be left in an awkward position. This is what they call a bad friend, Thalia. In the future, when making friends, stay away from such situations.” 

Thalia quickly nodded, signifying her resolve to make friends with eyes wide open. 

The next moment, Thalia exclaimed, “That woman” 

When Isabella turned her head, she saw Anais, the woman from the argument, walk into a nearby cafe. The cafe boasted a massive glass display window that faced the pedestrian walkway. 

However, Isabella paid no attention to the woman. Instead, her eyes were wide open, fixated on the two rows of seats inside. 

In the entertainment building’s cafe, four scholarly–looking individuals were seated together, sipping coffee and discussing matters. 

“Our project was too advanced, and the local investors were rather conservative. I suspected it would be hard to succeed this time. Once we go abroad, we will have no choice but to try raising funds from foreign venture capitalists.” 

“Even though we are planning to collaborate with foreign research institutions, the professor still hopes that our team maintains control. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have worked so hard to find investments domestically.” 

“Maybe we should think of another solution?” 

“Luna, you’re no longer part of the Cowell family…” 

Someone was about to say something when they were abruptly cut off. 

The three people sharing the seat awkwardly turned their gaze toward Lunn. 

“Apologies, I spoke too hastily, the speaker quickly expressed regret

Sitting over there, Luna simply gave a nonchalant smile and said, “It’s all right. Let’s think of another solution.” 

At this moment, Luna sported a neat, short haircut, reminiscent of a boy’s sporty style. She wore black- rimmed glasses as an accessory and was dressed in a simple white blouse. Even though she was seated in a bustling place, no one would mistake her for the rising starlet, Bianca, 

As they were talking, a pleasant male voice suddenly coed from the booth seat they were leaning 

Would it be possible for me to jom the discussion? I’m quite intrigued by your research project, and I’m considering investing.” 

Luma felt her body stillen, while the others looked up my confusion. 

A tall, lean man stood before them. He donned a hat, sunglasses, and a black mask. He casually rested one hand on the back of the elegant couch, while the other hand hooked beneath his mask, revealing a set of attractive Jips. He slowly spoke, “May I sit down?” 

When everyone realized what was going on, their eyes widened as they glanced at Laina. 

Luna’s fiancé was the superstar Christopher, a fact well–known among those who had been classmates with Luna for years. They had even seen him from a distance several times. 

Occasionally, the trending topies around her would pique their curiosity. It seemed like her fiancé had a closer relationship with her twin sister than with Luna herself. 

Recently, Luna returned and firmly decided to go abroad with her team for research. When the professor) asked her about personal matters, she said everything had been taken care of. 

It was then that they discovered that she had broken off her engagement and severed ties with her family. 

They speculated that Christopher was indeed involved with her younger sister. After all, they were researchers, always busy and hardly available. In contrast, those in the entertainment industry were free to meet daily. 

They felt a pang of sympathy for Luna. After all, they had known her for many years. Even if they weren’t particularly perceptive, they were aware that Luna had someone in her heart. That was why she had turned down all suitors. 

However, it seemed as though Luna did not require their consolation. Thus, everyone could only try their best to avoid mentioning the topic. 

Thus, it was simply perplexing for them when her ex–fiancé, a top–tier superstar, disguised himself and showed up. 

What did he just say? He wants to invest in us? It’s clear he’s here because of Luna. Could it be… they’re getting back Together? 

Even the most stoic researcher, who usually was calm and composed, couldn’t help but feel the urge to gossip. 

The female researcher sitting next to Lupa simply stood up and walked to a spot three of them held their coffees, not daring to even make a sound. 

across the table. The

Upon seeing Luna’s new appearance, Christopher’s heart nearly leaped out of his chest. It wasn’t his usual preference, but never had Christopher been so sure of something before. 

So, it turns out this is what longing and being smitten feels like. 

“Luna, L… Christopher said nervously, 

“Even though you’re a celebrity, Mr. Christopher, the investment we’re seeking is substantial. It seems you might not have the financial strength for it,” Luna said suddenly, not even bothering to look at him. 

Luna wasn’t one to let her pride get in the way and refuse impulsively. It was after all a matter concerning their entire team. Regardless of Christopher’s intentions, they needed investment, and if Christopher wanted to invest, then it was strictly business. 

Christopher was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reassured them, “Don’t worry. Your research is very meaningful, so Alexander would also be interested. I’m not investing in you as a celebrity, but to negotiate with you as a representative of Quirk Group 

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became excited. Quirk Group had nothing to do with their research, so they hadn’t considered them before. 

“If you’re indeed interested in investing, you should directly discuss it with our professor. There’s no need to negotiate with us.” Luna’s expression was indifferent Then she turned to the person across from her and said, “Could you please take Mr. Christopher to the professor?” 

Immediately, Christopher grew anxious. “No, I just want to talk to you.” 

Luma’s expression darkened, finally turning her gaze toward Christopher. The evident impatience in her eyes felt like a sting to Christopher. 

Tears welled uncontrollably in his eyes, as he couldn’t bear being looked at by Luna in such a manner. “Can’t I speak with you? I still have so much to tell you 

“So you’re using money and power to pressure me? I see you’ve learned this trick too” 

The color drained from Christopher’s face. A few seconds later, unable to bear the gaze of Luna, he didn’t want to anger her any further. After all, as long as he could invest, he would have opportunities to learn about her movements in the future. 

“Alright, I understand. I’ll go see your professor.” Christopher stood up in dejection. “Don’t worry. I’l handle the investment matters!” 

Luna was momentarily taken aback. After all, considering Christopher’s temperament toward her over the years, it was unlikely for him to give in. This sudden change felt surreal to her, as if she was watching the young Christopher who would hang his head low and agree to everything whenever he angered her. 

Regaining her composure, Luna noticed a stir within her heart and quickly bowed her head to sip her 

collee. 

Christopher reluctantly gazed at Luna, ultimately left with no choice but to leave. 

The moment he looked up, he let out a brief gasp, staring in surprise at what was beyond the glass wall.

Everyone was taken aback by his reaction, their attention swiftly shifting outside. Just like Christopher. they too were left startled. 

Two girls were seen standing by the glass wall, each laden with bags of various sizes. The most beautiful. among them was staring straight at them… 

Her eyes were filled with curiosity, wide open in wonder. 

“Is she… a fan of Mr. Christopher?” someone asked. 

Luna was taken aback as she locked eyes s with Isabella. 

“It’s his sister–in–law.”
