Isabe’s mocking, sarcastic tone echoed through the hallway. Every word she uttered felt like a p to Henry and Marjorie’s faces.
The indirect ridicule was more humiliating than a direct insult to their faces.
Their countenances slowly paled, looking like they were close to passing out from exasperation.
In the end, Isabe added, “I’m right, aren’t I, Mr. and Mrs. Cowell? It’s such a pity that you didn’t pass thepatibility test.”
den almost wanted to give Isabe a thumbs up to apud her for her straightforwardness. This is so
satisfying.
Marjorie staggered and copsed onto the ground, trembling all over. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she dared not meet anyone’s gaze. Yet, she still refused to admit <b>that </b>they were in the wrong.
“It’s not like that… We’re old, so…” In fact, they hadn’t considered that at all. They took Luna for granted and thought it was only natural for her to sacrifice.
“Heh. You guys… have no shame,” Christopher said coldly as he let go of Henry, leaving him to lean against the wall in a disheveled state.
Being insulted like this by someone younger than them was akin to being pped in the face, a tremendous humiliation.
Despite falling to the ground miserably, Henry still roared, “It’s not up to you outsiders to meddle in the Cowell family’s affairs! Get out, all of you, get out!”
Isabe said, “Oh, not only do I want to meddle, but I also intend to help you guys publicize this <b>so </b>everyone can see your behavior!”
<i>“</i><i>No</i>! Wh
What are you trying to do?” Marjorie immediately shrieked.
“What? I thought you were self–righteous! You think you did nothing wrong, right? Why are you so afraid others will know then?” Even Hayden couldn’t help but chime in and mock them. “You were just saying you wanted the school to see Luna for her true colors. Maybe you should take a look at yourself in the
mirror first.”
Marjorie <b>was </bpletely stunned.
Isabe and Hayden exchanged a nce, silentlymending each other.
Alexander, standing between them, felt left out. I helped out too just now!
Henry eximed, “Have you all lost your minds? What does this have to do with you? Luna has already broken off her engagement with the Quirk family!”
In a cold voice, Christopher dered, “It was my fault <b>that </b>the engagement was called off. I’m not worthy <b>of </b>her, and I deserve it. But let me make one thing clear, <b>Luna’s </b>affairs have everything to do with me!” Christopher looked down at the couple condescendingly, his tone harsh<b>. </b>“There’s something you don’t

know yet. Your beloved daughter has been infected with an STD. She got it from Thomas. The reason she was attacked today was because she plotted to harm Luna with a syringe. She deliberately showed up<b>. </b>there, waiting to ambush Luna, so she suffered the consequences of her own actions. She loves to impersonate Luna, doesn’t she? She got what she deserved!”
Upon hearing that, Henry and Marjorie were dumbfounded.
What disease? How did she get it?
“No! It can’t be!” Marjorie shricked.
Suddenly, they remembered how the doctors and nurses had acted weird before as if they were hiding something. Moreover, the police had mentioned that they had important questions for Bianca, unrted to the stabbing incident. –
If what Christopher had said was indeed true, then Bianca was intentionally spreading her disease. That
<b>was </b>a crime.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
<b>“</b>You guys are practically monsters if you still think Luna should save Bianca,” added Christopher.
Henry and Marjorie’s faces were flushed. Apparently, the news struck them like a bolt from the blue. Christopher ignored their reactions, for he had carried out his purpose there–to warn them.
“Remember. Keep your precious daughter far away from me and Luna. Never let her cross paths with us. If I ever find out that you dare intrude into Luna’s life again, even just once, I will use every connection and resource I have to make your family theughingstock of the entire world! You’ll understand what it means to be scorned by everyone!”
Even without relying on the Quirk family’s power, he could achieve that with his own abilities. A threat from an A–lister like Christopher was intimidating enough to make even Hayden stand up straight in trepidation.
Henry and Marjorie began to tremble in fear despite their resentment at being threatened.
“Fine. We won’t make her donate her kidney. Do you really have to sever our family ties?” <b>said </b>Henry.
“Stop talking about family ties. Have you no shame? Have any of you ever provided her with any semnce of familial love? Getting associated with you guys is thest thing she wants right now. Wake and face reality. Do you seriously still think you can y the role of her parents?” Christopher sneered
His decorum and good upbringing crumbled before this shameless couple.
“You…” Henry was <b>so </b>furious he couldn’t even utter <b>a </bplete sentence.
<b>up</b>
Marjorie, on the other hand, was reduced to tears by the harsh words. She turned to Alexander and asked, “Is this how the Quirk family educates their children? To openly threaten and intimidate elders who <b>have </b>been family friends with your parents? Both our families have been friends since four generations ago!”
With an expressionless face, Alexander asked, “I <b>have </b>a question for you, too. Is it part of your family’s teachings to let your contagious daughter knock on my brother’s door in the middle of the night? What was <b>she </b>nning to do?”
His voice was t, but still caused Henry and Marjorie’splexions to drain of colon. “How is that

Alexander rose to his feet and said, “What you just heard was a warning from my younger brother, and now, this is a warning from our family. If you continue to go against my brother’s wishes, I will gather Quirk Group’s full force to suppress all of the Cowell family’s businesses until the Cowell family kicks the three of you out. So… Mr. and Mrs. Cowell, for the sake of the longstanding friendship between our two families, please behave yourselves. We don’t want things to get too ugly. Later, I will inform Mr. Pedro about this.”
Henry <b>and </b>Marjorie were in a daze, staring at Alexander and then at Christopher in despair, their faces. ashen. Under the overwhelming pressure, they finally fell silent.
Not long after, Bianca awoke from the anesthesia. She rarely suffered, so she began wailing in difort, especially when <b>she </b>touched the deep and wide scar that stretched across half her face.
Her love life had fallen apart, <b>and </b>her career was in ruins, too. Her whole life had practically been destroyed.
She saw her parents as she screamed, yet unlike before, they didn’t step forward tofort her..
Bianca btedly realized that something was amiss, staring at her parents in shock.
“You caught an STD? And you were nning to spread it to your sister and Christopher? Why, my dear?. What has gotten into you? Do you know what you’re doing?”
She began screaming, “Ah! It’s all your fault! If only you hadn’t given birth to Luna! Yes, I wanted to infect them! If only Luna had called off the wedding sooner, I would have been with Christopher by now. If
Christopher hadn’t been so stubborn, refusing to touch me, I wouldn’t have gone to Thomas. It’s all they
fault! They’ve ruined me! I will make them pay and drag them down with me!”
Smack! Henrynded a p across Bianca’s cheek, causing the wound on her face to split open again, bleeding.
“Ah!” Bianca looked at her father in disbelief. “You hit me! You’ve never hit me before!”
“Honey, stop…” Marjorie wanted to stop them but didn’t know who to stop first.
Henry stared nkly at his palm, recalling the countless times it had struck Luna. He let out a weak, agonizing chuckle <b>that </b>sounded more like a grating wail.
Before long, they received a call from the current head of the Cowell family. Pedro. His tone was filled <b>with </b><b>anger </b><b>as </b>he warned them to pretend <b>as </b>if Luna never existed and to stop shamelessly pestering her Otherwise, they would be kicked out of the Cowell family.
After the call ended, Henry and Marjorie remained silent for a long time, looking after Bianca listlessly like how they used to spend their years overseas<b>, </b>caring for their child. However, their emotional state <b>had </bpletely changed.
From <b>that </b>point on, the family of threepletely vanished from Luna’s world.
Not long after Luna turned on her phone, she reached out to Christopher, asking about his injury.
Christopher<b>, </b>who was nursing his injuries at home, sprang up in excitement.

It turned out to be Rosalie, who was set to return home that day.

Isabe couldn’t help but look it up in the system. Oh, it turns out Rosalie has found herself a boyfriend behind everyone’s backs.
Selena and Evian were shocked.
Isabe’s inner thoughts continued.
