    I didn’t expect Isabe to even have a knack <i>for </i>managing a marketing ount to promote gossip. Christopher was devastated.


    Isabe said guiltily, “I’m sorry! We’re all family here, and they just care <b>about </b>your situation with <b>Luna</b>. Besides, think about it, if you and Luna do end up together, this video might actually be a cherished memory.”


    Wow, gee! Thanks! Christopher was speechless.


    Even though I’m sure they won’t have a happy ending, <i>let’s </i>just tell a white lie to appease him for now to get myself out of this.


    Christopher was livid. D*mn you! Your apology isn’t even sincere!


    “Right, about Bianca…” Isabe noticed Christopher’s grim expression and quickly shifted the topic. How should I put this? <i>It’s </i>a matter of life and death. But how can I justify where I got


    my information


    Christopher cast an irritated nce at Isabe but gave her a way out. “There’s something wrong with Bianca. Hayden just told me to keep my distance from her in the future, lest she does something reckless.”


    Christopher kept things to himself. Neither Hayden nor Isabe would suspect anything.


    Isabe was surprised, not expecting them to already know. This put her at ease.


    Isabe beamed. “Thankfully you managed to… Ahem. evade a crisis.”


    “Go to sleep!” Christopher’s face fell, so irritated by the sight of Isabe that he wanted her to disappear.


    Isabe shrugged. <i>Why </i>are you <i>so </i>mad<i>? </i><i>Is </i>it such a disgrace to be a virgin? Both you <i>and </i><i>your </i><i>brother </i>are virgins<b>. </b>You don’t see him feeling ashamed. <i>Ah</i>, I see. So this runs in the family<i>, </i>huh?


    Christopher looked at her in bewilderment.


    Did I just hear that right? Did she just spill the beans? So that incident back then was really just a hoax? Wait! That’s not the point! The point is, Alex’s a virgin like me! So those exmation marks in the chat are not just about me?

    He feltforted knowing he was not alone and that Alexander was just like him. That was probably the only good news about that night.


    Over at the Quirk manor, Alexander, who had just finished his work, suddenly felt out of <b>sorts</b>.


    Then, he seemed to hear whispersing from somewhere within the usually quiet residence.


    Are they all awake in the dead of night?


    Puzzled, Alexander checked <b>his </b>phone’s memo before bed, only to discover a video his mother had forwarded to <b>him.</b>


    Curious, he clicked <b>on </b>it to take a look <b>and </b>was at a <b>loss </b>for <b>words</b>.

    the time Christopher, exhausted to his bones, returned to his room, he received a call from Alexander.


    hristopher suspected <b>that </b>Alexander had also seen the video, which was why he called him at such ate


    Jur<b>.</b>


    e was embarrassed to face others, but not when facing his brother, who was in a simr situation. Hah! He as been a virgin longer than me, and he has a wife!


    riven by an inexplicable smugness, Christopher confidently picked up the phone.


    lexander had initially called to make sure Christopher was fine because thetter had cried and even got n his knees, only to hear hisints.


    Did you watch the video?”


    Yes.


    ‘Alex, your wife has been bullying me.”


    ‘But I think you sound fine.”


    “You’ve changed. Are you even my brother?”


    Alexander was speechless, wondering why his brother had be so dramatic after an outing with Isabe.


    “Wait. You are my brother. Just now, Isabe mentioned that we are both virgins and that it runs in the family.”


    Alexander was irked, feeling tempted to beat up his younger brother. “I’m hanging up.”


    “Hey, wait a minute! I’ve got something important to discuss with you.” Christopher couldn’t be bothered to make himself feel better about being a virgin anymore and quickly seized the opportunity to discuss the investment.


    “Isabe mentioned it to me. How about this? I’lle by to pick you up tomorrow and sort this out.”


    “Oh, you don’t have to make a trip here yourself. I can handle it.”


    “This <b>is </b>a brand new area for Quirk Group <b>that </b>we’ve never ventured before.”


    Christopher became anxious<b>. </b>“I’m <b>serious</b>. You can’t <b>show </b>up, or you’ll steal my thunder. I was nning to use this method to impress Luna<b>!</b>”


    Alexander paused momentarily <b>and </b>said, “<b>You </b><b>can’t </b>resort to threats.”


    “Do <b>you </b>think I’m <b>a </b>fool? Of course I won’t!”


    “So, you’re really not giving <b>up</b>?”


    Christopher fell silent for a moment and sighed. “I dont want to give up. I really don’t. I like her a lot. Why do I only realize now that I’ve been in love with her for a long time?”


    I’ve been in lov


    Alexander found himself at a loss for words<b>, </b>listening to his brother’s tearful voice <b>on </b>the other end of th 54


    ine. Christopher finally managed to regain hisposure after a while.


    Right, about Bianca…” Christopher briefly exined the situation to Alexander before his tone turned solemn. “Since she wants to harm me, I’ll ruin her reputation in high society.”


    Alexander hadn’t anticipated Bianca to attempt something so malicious. Immediately, he exuded a cold, Intimidating aura. “Got it. I’ll handle this.”


    The following morning, Christopher unabashedly took the initiative to arrange a meeting with the professor, behaving as if nothing had happened. They agreed to meet in the hotel’s restaurant downstairs. <b>where </b><b>a </b>breakfast buffet was served.


    The entire research team was there except for Anais, which made the professor wonder where she was. Anais had a friend in town. Unable to face the others the previous night, she had left the hotel to stay with her friend.


    The professor didn’t dwell on that. Her face lit up with joy as if she had just seen a ray of hope when she heard about the investment and happily began introducing the project to Christopher.


    Christopher expressed his approval and promised to bring them straight to Quirk Group to sign the contract once they prepared the reports and documents.


    Everyone was in disbelief, thinking that it had been too easy and too good to be true. Aside from the professor, everyone else couldn’t help but look at Luna, knowing for a fact that all this was because of her


    Luna actually felt uneasy but was still happy for the professor. She was finally able to fulfill her lifelong ambition and contribute to the nation through her research.


    Lifting her gaze, she couldn’t help looking at the man, whose shoulder was bathed in the sunlight that filtered through the window.


    The moment their eyes met, Luna offered a serene smile. “Thank you.”


    Christopher was stunned, but Luna’s amicable demeanor didn’t cheer him up.


    So much had happened yesterday. Luna could have chosen to hide from him, feel repulsed by him, or even embarrassed to be around him, all of which would indicate she treated her differently <b>and </b>that he still held a ce in her heart.


    What he feared the most was her indifference, which shattered his illusions and hopes like an invisible–fist.


    Deep down<b>, </b>he understood that although Isabe tended to be harsh and straightforward, her words were always brutally honest. She was right. The possibility of them being together was almost non<b>–</b>existent.


    But all he could do was escape from the truth. Even getting the chance to look at her one more time was good enough for him.


    Meanwhile, <b>Thalia</b>, who was indulging in the extravagant buffet, happened to spot them. ustomed to engaging in gossip, she immediately messaged Isabe, who was still sleeping in: I sato Mr. Christopher and Mi. Cowell.


    When Isabe woke up and <b>saw </b>the message, she was wide awake and quickly <b>asked</b>: Which Cowell are we talking <b>about</b><b>?</b>

    Thalia: The beautiful researcher.


    Isabe chided herself for asking an unnecessary question. How could it have been Bianca? Aftering to her senses, she swiftly rose from bed to freshen up, wanting to enjoy the drama firsthand. She typed: Save me a spot. I’ll be there shortly.


    Thalia: But they’re almost done eating.


    Isabe didn’t respond. Thalia could only constantly monitor the situation with her phone in hand.


    After they had discussed and decided on the investment, the professor was eager to rush back and prepare the report, so they all got ready to leave upon having breakfast.


    Seeing that, Thalia could only send a message to Isabe.


    However, it wasn’t long before Isabe called her.


    Thalia could tell she was running.


    Hurry! There’s danger!” Isabe’s roar came from the other end of the line.


    “Stop them from leavinning.


    Momentarily stunned, Thalia quickly registered Isabe’s words and quickly rushed out. However, the hotel was huge. She had no idea which path they had taken.


    In the meantime, Isabe had just stepped off the elevator, her face pale. She spotted a group of people heading toward the elevator from a distance.


    Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly noticed a dark shadow swiftly approaching them from behind.


    Isabe couldn’t make out who it was and could only yell. “Luna, watch out! Behind you!”


    Everyone paused in their tracks <b>and </b>turned around instinctively.


    Only Christopher was quick to react, rushing forward to shield Luna<b>.</b>
