 Aside from a fairly decent face, there was nothing elsemendable about him. He was nothing more. than a wealthy good–for–nothing, notorious formitting numerous uwful acts. He was quite the regr at the police station.

 No scandal rted to him would evere as a surprise.

 However, the Quirk family was ying the host that day. Thomas stirring up trouble during the event was no different from an attempt to embarrass them.

 Thomas’s aunt and uncle were the Walker family’s representatives. They immediately stepped forward to hold back Thomas. “We agreed to bring you here, but we didn’t give you permission to cause trouble! We’re terribly sorry. Thomas had a bit too much to drink. We’ll take him home right away.”

 However, Thomas pushed away his aunt and uncle. He had previously shed with Christopher and was publicly humiliated by Luna. Already seething with anger, he suddenly received a piece of news that infuriated him even more. He drowned his anger in several bottles of liquor, growing angrier with each drink, and impulsively rushed back home.

 Thomas approached the Cowell family members directly, shing a mischievous grin at the stunned Henry and Marjorie. “Mr. and Mrs. Cowell, since you’re considering changing the marriage arrangement, why don’t we settle mine with Luna today while everyone is here?”

 He then shifted his malicious gaze toward Luna.

 Luna’s mind went nk for a moment. She didn’t look at Thomas. Instead, she turned her gaze to Bianca, who was cowering behind Henry and Marjorie.

 Bianca’s face turned pale, her eyes darting around in panic. The moment she noticed Luna watching her.” she immediately averted her gaze guiltily.

 Just as Thomas was about to grasp Luna’s wrist, arge hand intercepted him, grasping his hand.

 Under the influence of alcohol, Thomas was more reckless than before. He red at the person trying to stop him. “F*ck you, Christopher. I don’t even mind picking up what you’ve discarded. You should be grateful to me!”

 “Are you out of your mind?” eximed Christopher, ready to throw a punch.

 He was already harboring a whirlwind of messy emotions, feeling as flustered as a cornered beast. Yet, Thomas had the audacity to show up and ask for trouble. Hence, without a second thought, hended a punch that sent Thomas sprawling on the ground.

 Christopher was about to throw another punch, but Luna held onto his wrist, stopping him. Turning around in a fit of rage, he saw Luna’s indifferent expression, as if she didn’t want him meddling in her affairs.

 At that moment, her expression was icy as she stared nkly at Thomas.

 In an instant, Christopher felt a stifling sensation welled up within him.

 Although they were quite upset with Thomas‘ actions, the Walker family members couldn’t just stand by and let others harm their family.

 “What on earth are you doing? Thomas is drunk. How could you resort to violence? Is this how the Quirk family treats their guests?” Thomas‘ aunt, Nadia, said, her voice seething with anger.

 We, the Quirk family, have been gracious hosts, yet you’ve caused a ruckus in our home. Is this how the Walker family behaves as guests?” Selena stood her ground and added, “And not to mention the verbal insults.”

 Nadia’s face flushed as she retorted, “Mrs. Quirk, it’s pointless to beat around the bush. You want to break off the engagement with Luna, don’t you? Then, this matter is between Thomas and Luna. It was Christopher who intervened. Besides, Thomas only proposed. He hasn’t done anything else!”

 With a coldugh, Selena said, “Don’t you think Thomas is being too impatient?”

 Nadia was stumped. After all, the marriage engagement between the Quirk and Cowell families hadn’t been withdrawn yet. Taken seriously, Thomas‘ inappropriate remarks could be construed as him. cuckolding the Quirk family. That was indeed a p in the face to the Quirk family.

 “Ah, we’re all friends here. There’s no need to let a little argument between the youngsters sow discord between us. Let’s all calm down. This is all my daughter’s fault, Henry quickly interjected, ying the role of the mediator.

 This is all Luna’s fault. How could she be involved with Mr. Thomas when she’s still engaged? But then again, this might be a blessing in disguise. Let’s all sit down and discuss this,” Marjorie also started persuading, her expression shifting from confusion to a smile.

 The Cowell family had seen better days. Between the Quirk and Walker families, they couldn’t afford to offend either.

 They initially thought that smoothly breaking off the engagement would be the end of it. However, they hadn’t expected another proposal for a martiage alliance from the Walker family..

 This was nothing short of a windfall. It also served aspensation for Luna. This way, outsiders would stop using Henry and Marjorie of favoring Bianca, allowing her to take Luna’s ce in the marriage.

 The guests, who were initially reluctant to leave, were actually interested in the drama of two women vying for one man’s attention.

 In the end, things took an unexpected turn.

 “Exactly. It turns out everyone has found their partner in life. You youngsters are truly a handful. Still, this is a blessing

 Luna and Thomas, who shared simrly bad reputations, were paired together, while Bianca and Christopher, whose image was impable, ended up as a couple. It seemed everything was perfectly in ce, and everyone was merely there to witness and partake in the merriment.

 If the tripartite marriage alliance truly seeded, everyone’s business strategies might need to be slightly adjusted in the future.

 Alexander watched everything from the sidelines while Isabe beside him was about to lose her mind. F*ck! This is such a juicy gossip!

 Her remarkpletely distracted the Quirk family. Still, they had to pay attention to Christopher’s lifelong affairs.

 David and Selena exchanged nces, continuing the conversation. Despite their protective nature, they had no intention of causing a deadlock.

 The situation had taken a turn, attracting the attention of all the guests. It was best to resolve the matter immediately to prevent any misinformation from spreading, which could lead to unfavorable impressions.

 David cleared his throat and said, “Since everyone has heard, we won’t hide it any longer. The engagement. was a promise made by the older generation. Nowadays, young people value their freedom to love, We, the Quirk family, will not interfere with our child’s decision.”

 Selena also chimed in. “I can only hope that the youngsters take responsibility for their own lives and avoid making decisions they’ll regret.”

 With that, David and Selena cast a meaningful nce at Christopher.

 After all, they had just discovered that the Cowell family had deceived them. They held great disdain for Bianca, Henry, and Marjorie because their actions were tantamount to lying to Christopher all along as they took credit for someone else’s contributions.

 The couple thought. Still, decisions about marriage and love are ultimately personal ones. In any case, Christopher has already been told everything he needs to know. It’s up to him whether he believes it or not. But how did Luna be entangled with Thomas? How regrettable. Forget it.

 They decided to let Christopher handle the rest and immediately pricked up their cars to hear any new gossip from Isabe’s side.

 After listening for quite some time, all they heard were Isabe’s exmations. Huh! Oh! Good heavens! D’mn! Is this for real? How astonishing!

 The Quirk family members thought. Hold on. Don’t just rim incessantly. Spill the beans and let us know just how astonishing this matter is.

 Despite Isabe keeping everyone in suspense, Christopher wasn’t distracted. His thoughts remained in a state of chaos.

 Henry and Marjorie, however, warmly approached, saying, “The Quirk family is indeed open–minded. Chris, why don’t you say something?”

 His hesitation brought an eerie silence to the scene, causing the onlookers to start whispering among themselves. Has the situation changed? Wow! How interesting!

 At that moment, Bianca, who was feeling restless, didn’t wait for Christopher to speak. She immediately tugged on Christopher’s sleeve in a hurry. “Chris…”

 Christopher was taken aback, casting a nce at Bianca This was the woman he had adored for many years. He then looked helplessly at Luna, who seemed so familiar yet so distant in reality.

 Meanwhile, the Quirk family members, who were cavesdropping and ready to feast on the juicy gossip. failed to notice that something was amiss with Christopher.

 Instead, it was Isabe who got lost in thought for a moment. Oh that’s Christopher up to? He’s not really considering who to choose, is he?

 The Quirk family members were momentarily taken aback before they heard Isabe starting to curse. What the f*ck! How shameless! Why does he assume that others willply once he makes his choice? Luna isn’t Bianca. She has no intention to take part in this drama! Does his family members know how presumptuous he is?

 The Quirk family members thought. Now we know.

 Christopher was baffled. Why am I getting scolded out of the bine? But shouldn’t I be the one to make a decision now? Although I shouldn’t hesitate, but….

 “The engagement involves two people. Shouldn’t my opinion be considered too?” Luna suddenly spoke up.

 In an instant, everyone’s gaze turned toward Luna.

 Christopher was taken aback as he looked over. Is she reluctant to let go?

 A wave of unexinable joy, one that he himself hadn’t even noticed, welled up within Christopher.

 Henry and Marjorie immediately grew impatient.

 “Luna, don’t fuss. We’ll help you settle things with the Walker family. One shouldn’t be too greedy in life.”

 “We know you always seem to be at odds with Bianca, but this is about their lifelong happiness. The Quirk family members have already expressed their wish to let the children decide for themselves. Christopher is adamantly against marrying you. Are you still going to prevent this stubbornly? It’s pointless even if you try to stop it”

 Henry and Marjorie were genuinely harsh when they spoke to Luna.

 However, Luna had be as impervious to the harsh remarks. She was no longer susceptible to the slightest harm from their words.

 She turned to look at Christopher. The indifferent look in her eyes caused a shiver to run down Christopher’s spine.

 “Today, I formally announce the dissolution of our engagement,” Luna said. A sense of relief washed over her as she added with a smile, “Christopher, I don’t wait you anymore.”

 As soon as she finished her sentence, Christopher felt a if a piece of his heart was missing. Dazed, he

 While everyone present was somewhat surprised, they didn’t dwell on it much. They assumed that Luna must have genuinely been with Thomas, which was why she decisively broke off her engagement.

 Henry, Marjorie, and Bianca breathed a sigh of relief.

 Isabe thought. The Cowell family members are all hypocrites. They know perfectly well where Luna’s heart truly lies, yet they continue to feign ignorance. They’d repeatedly pressured Luna to break off her engagement at Old Mrs. Cowell’s ce, but Luna had always adamantly refused. She had always given in whenever Bianca snatched something from her, but the one thing she didn’t want to give up was Christopher. But now, she has even given him up. It seems she has truly let go of everything Christopher is such an idiot. He lost a diamond while collecting stones. Hell regret it in the future.

 When the Quirk family heard Isabe’s thoughts, they were quite surprised. So, Luna still harbors feelings for Christopher.

 Christopher’s lips trembled. That’s right. Luna likes me. But now, she haspletely given up. That’s not surprising. She already has another man, after all.

 Yet, Luna’s expression when she told him it wasn’t her dashed across his mind.

 Suddenly, someone patted Christopher

 Regaining his senses, Christopher noticed the Cowell family members looking at him in anticipation. seemingly waiting for him to announce his engagement with Bianca.

 However, Christopher didn’t speak. He couldn’t help but feel something was amiss, and waves of regret welled up in his heart.

 Thomas, however, couldn’t wait to approach, seemingly in a better mood. He came up to Luna and said, “You’ve finallye to your senses. So, from now on, you’re my fiancée.

 A gleam shed in Christopher’s eyes. His hand subconsciously clenched into a fist as he looked toward

 Her unexpected remark left everyone utterly astonished.

 Oh boy, things are heating up. Grab your popcorn, folks.

 Initially, the Quirk family members were confused. However, upon hearing Isabe’s thoughts, they instinctively made a judgment. Luna is telling the truth. Oh? What does this meant Has Thomas been lying the
