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 apanied Hayden’s arrival, anyone not in the know would have thought. that Christopher hade.
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 <b>that </b>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 Isabe somewhat familiar. After all, she had appeared in various magazines and most billboards rted 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 aroundtely, and who might this be?”
This is our agency’s newly signed <b>artist</b>, Isabe Jea. 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 shees from an influential background. She’s a social elite<b>, </b><b>so </b>she’s just here as a hobby.”
In order to avoid any potential trouble, Hayden made sure to emphasize this point. Moreover, anyone who waspetent would surely uncover her identity.
At the red wine tasting party, Hayden took care of all the social interactions. All Isabe needed to do was to follow behind <b>him</b>, raising her wine ss with a polite smile and <b>recognizing </b>faces and names.
This level of protection naturally elevated everyone’s perception of Isabe’s status.
And so, the entire event was of Hayden skillfully navigating social interactions, while Isabe was happily enjoying the spectacle, thoroughly entertained.
Nevertheless, <b>in </b>such <b>a </b>situation, there were more working staff than celebrities, hence the gossip was
limited.
Over time, there wasn’t much drama for Isabe to notice.
Just as boredom was about to <b>get </b>the best of her, she turned her head and <b>was </b>so surprised she nearly dropped her wine ss.
Suddenly, Bianca appeared, briskly walking in their direction.

Isabe 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 hade specifically for Hayden. <b>From </b>a distance, she spotted Hayden and assumed that Christopher would be with him. Unexpectedly, it was Isabe who was by Hayden’s side.
She paused for a <b>moment</b><b>, </b>not daring to offend Isabe. 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 <b>see </b>me?”
Although Bianca didn’t raise her voice much, hermotion still managed to draw curious nces from many people present.
This irked Hayden immensely. If the media caught wind of this, it would surely be a trending topic. The previous rumors about the two of them were already enough to give him a headache.
As an agent, it was uneptable to let his client face such troubles.
Knowing that Bianca was not one to listen to others, Hayden <b>had </b>no choice but to shift the focus <b>away</b>. “Ms. Bianca, why don’t we take this <b>discussion </b><b>outside</b>?
“Alright, take me to Chris.
Hayden’s face frozen <b>as </b><b>he </b>turned to look at Isabe.
Isabe was also at her wit’s end. <b>Luna </b>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, Isabe said. “I’m <b>tired </b>and nning to go out for a stroll. I’m fine with just Thalia apanying me.”
Hayden gave <b>a </b><b>nod</b>, and swiftly, he and a few others left the venue, leaving behind a crowd that yearned for more drama, yet could only watch on <b>helplessly</b>.
The Silvinubis Hotel was divided into three buildings. One was dedicated to dining, entertainment, and leisure activities; another was for amodation; and the third was designated for meetings and other
cvents.
Once Isabe parted <b>ways </b>with Hayden<b>, </b>she returned to her room <b>to </b>change. At the same time, he sent a message to Luna.
“Luna, I’m at the Silvinubis Hotel attending an event. thought I caught <b>a </b>glimpse of you. Are you here
too<b>?</b><b>”</b>
There <b>was </b>no response.
Isabe wasn’t sure if the other party hadn’t noticed her message or simply chose <b>not </b>to respond. After all, she was Christopher’s sister<b>–</b>inw, someone thetter might have wanted topletely eliminate from her life.

Nevertheless, the well–intentioned Isabe <b>gave </b>Luna a heads–up. “By the way, I saw Bianca at the event earlier. I hope you won’t run into her.”
When there was still no response, there was nothing more that Isabe could do.
Together with Thalia, she headed toward the entertainment zone.
Upon arriving at the first–floor <b>lobby</b>, they noticed arge crowd had gathered, their steps halted as they <b>watched </b>the unfolding scene with interest.
How could I possibly miss this?
Immediately, Isabe <b>and </b>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 <b>don’t </b>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 asion 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 <b>that </b>you can’t change. They’ve advised me to break up with you. <b>I </b><b>have </b>given you a chance before, but you’ve be violent again. <b>I’m </b>utterly disappointed in you.”
“Those people have ulterior motives. Being a woman, you wouldn’t understand how a man thinks, but <b>I </b>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 p 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’vepletely 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! <b>Didn’t </b>you say your friend has <b>been </b>unlucky in love? She’s clearly just jealous of our rtionship.”
“She isn’t like that. She is a good person and very y aplished. 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 <b>was </b>always there to take me in andfort 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 <b>you</b><b>? </b>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 <b>than </b>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 <b>find </b>fault in everything I do. It must be her stirring things up, whispering in your car, <b>and </b>brainwashing you.”

“No, it’s not like <b>that</b>. Everything <b>she </b><b>said </b>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 <b>in </b>it to see clearly,” the woman said, her expression tom
“All those things are trivial. I just wanted to take care of you! <b>And </b>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 Ie to see you, she would always be watching me, constantly encouraging you to break up with me. If that’s not <b>a </b>secret crush, then what is it? She’s just trying to tear us apart. <b>But </b>I <b>have </b>no interest, in <b>her</b>, and I certainly wasn’t going to give her any opportunity!” The man spoke with righteous indignation.
The woman waspletely taken aback, as if she <b>had </b>been blindsided by this possibility.
“But she… she’s gorgeous, just like a big movie star. Why wouldn’t you be interested<b>…</b>”
“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 <b>and </b>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 <b>up </b>with the woman.
What are all of <b>you </b>staring at, scram!” The man seemed to finally notice the crowd that <b>had </b>gathered to watch his embarrassing spectacle, outraging him.
Isabe <b>and </b>Thalia <b>also </b><b>walked </b>away from the crowd. A they strolled, they chatted and gossiped.
“Isabe, do you think they’ll <b>make </b><b>up</b><b>?</b>” Thalia asked curiously.

“They will,” Isabe spected. 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 <b>you’re </b>saying you believe everything that man just said?” <b>Thalia </b>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. Isabe stated. “If what the man said is true, then there’s nothing more to discuss. But if he was lying, then I <b>can </b>only sympathize with this woman’s friend<b>.</b>”
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 viin.”
That wasn’t the scariest part.”
Thalia nibbled on her crepe, <b>casting </b>a puzzled nce in Isabe’s direction.
Isabe, with candied fruit in her mouth, mumbled, “The worst part is <b>that </b>the woman shifted all the me onto her friend. This made the man only resent the friend for stirring up trouble. If they were to reconcileter, this friend would be left in an awkward position. This is <b>what </b>they call a bad friend, Thalia. In the future<b>, </b>when making friends, <b>stay </b>away from such situations.”
Thalia quickly nodded, signifying her resolve to make friends with eyes wide open.
The next moment, Thalia eximed, “That woman”
When <b>Isabe </b>turned her head, she saw Anais, the woman from the argument, walk into a nearby cafe. The cafe boasted a massive ss disy window that faced the pedestrian walkway.
However, Isabe paid no attention <b>to </b>the woman. Instead, her eyes were wide open, fixated on <b>the </b>two rows of seats inside.
In the entertainment building’s cafe, four schrly–looking individuals were seated together<b>, </b>sipping coffee and discussing matters.
“Our project was too advanced, and the <b>local </b>investors were rather conservative. I suspected it would be hard to seed this time. Once we go abroad, we will have no choice but to try raising funds from foreign <b>venture </b>capitalists.”
“Even though we are nning to coborate with foreign research institutions, the professor still hopes that our <b>team </b>maintains control. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have <b>worked </b>so hard to find investments domestically.”
“Maybe we should think of another solution?”
“Luna, you’re no longer part of the Cowell family…”
Someone <b>was </b>about to say something when they were abruptly cut off.
The three people sharing <b>the </b>seat awkwardly turned their gaze toward Lunn.
“Apologies, I spoke too hastily, the <b>speaker </b>quickly expressed regret
<b>5/8</b>
Sitting <b>over </b>there, Luna simply gave a nonchnt smile and said, “It’s all right. Let’s think of another solution.”
At this moment, Luna sported a <b>neat</b><b>, </b>short haircut, reminiscent of a boy’s sporty style. She wore <b>ck- </b>rimmed sses as an essory and was dressed in a simple white blouse. Even though she <b>was </b>seated in a bustling ce, 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 <b>possible </b>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 <b>them</b>. He donned a hat, sunsses, and a ck mask. He casually rested one hand on the back of the elegant couch, while the other hand hooked beneath his mask, revealing <b>a </b>set of attractive Jips. He slowly spoke, “May I sit down?”
When everyone realized what was going <b>on</b>, their eyes widened as they nced at Laina.
Luna’s fiancé <b>was </b>the superstar Christopher, a fact well–known among those who <b>had </b>been ssmates with Luna for years. They had even seen him from a distance several times.
asionally, the trending topies around her would pique their curiosity. It seemed like her fiancé had a closer rtionship 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 <b>been </b>taken care of.
It was then that they discovered that she had broken off her engagement and severed <b>ties </b>with her family.
They spected that Christopher was indeed involved with her younger sister. After all, they were researchers, always busy and hardly avable. In contrast, those in the entertainment industry were free to meet daily.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
They felt a pang of sympathy for Luna. After all, they had known her for many years. Even if they weren’t particrly 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 constion. Thus, everyone could only try their best to avoid mentioning the topic.
Thus, it was simply perplexing for them when her ex–fiancé<b>, </b><b>a </b>top–tier <b>superstar</b>, 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 <bposed</b>, couldn’t help but feel <b>the </b>urge to gossip.
The female researcher sitting next to Lupa simply stood up and walked to <b>a </b><b>spot </b>three of them held their coffees, <b>not </b>daring to even <b>make </b>a sound.

Upon seeing Luna’s <b>new </b>appearance, Christopher’s heart nearly leaped out of <b>his </b>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 <b>said </b>nervously,
“Even though you’re a celebrity, Mr. Christopher, the investment we’re seeking is substantial. It seems you <b>might </b>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 <b>taken </b>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 <b>with </b>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<b>. </b>“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 uncontrobly 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 <b>and </b>power to pressure me? I see you’ve learned this <b>trick </b><b>too</b>”
The color <b>drained </b>from Christopher’s <b>face</b>. A few secondster, unable to bear the gaze of Luna, he didn’t <b>want </b>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 <b>in</b>. This sudden change felt surreal to <b>her</b>, as if she was watching the young Christopher who would hang his head low <b>and </b>agree to everything whenever he angered her.
Regaining herposure, 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 ss <b>wall</b>.

Two girls were seen standing by the <b>ss </b>wall, eachden 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.
