After Luna finished speaking, she took a deep breath and continued. “I stand by my words and can provide any evidence needed. I won’t admit to things I haven’t done, and no one can claim credit for what I have

done.”

Everyone was stunned because the information was just too shocking.

One could say that the impressions, good and bad, within the industry toward the two sisters were all due to the accumulation of those incidents. If all those were fabricated, then the reputations of the two would surely be swapped.

“Why would you do such a thing? Are you not aware of how your reputation has been tarnished out there?” Someone from the crowd couldn’t help but voice out their confusion.

Luna laughed, but her smile was tinged with bitterness. She herself didn’t understand how she ended up here. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Perhaps the fantasy of a harmonious family of four was too enticing, or maybe she was just too lonely. As she continually yielded, she lost herself and ended up playing the role in a tragic drama.

It shouldn’t have been her.

In her pursuit to rediscover herself, she decided to let go of the Fast

“Who knows? Maybe I’m just being foolish,” she said.

At that moment, the surrounding chatter, the mocking glances, all fell upon that family of three.

Henry and Marjorie seemed to be at a loss as to why everyone was staring at them.

Although the events were somewhat unfair to Luna, was it right for her to air all the dirty laundry, not only tarnishing Bianca’s reputation but also subjecting the entire Cowell family to ridicule? She’s simply a rebellious daughter who disregards the welfare of her entire family!

“W–We’re all family here! What are you doing?” Henry exclaimed through gritted teeth.

“Don’t you see how distressed your sister is? She didn’t do those things on purpose! Are you bringing up old issues now to accuse us of treating you unfairly? There is no such thing as absolute fairness in a family with more than one child!” Marjorie said. 

“Really? I used to tell myself that same lie,” Luna retorted mockingly.

Alas, that poor child… She must have been blinded by that so–called familial love! If her family hadn’t been so excessively cruel and exploitative, Luna might have continued to sacrifice herself for this illusory sense of kinship! Good -thing she has finally come to her senses! 

The Quirk family members nodded in agreement. Considering the recent events, Luna had proven herself to be exceptionally capable and kind–hearted. As such, they couldn’t afford to burden her any further.

It was a shame that a certain someone in their family was blind to what truly mattered and missed out on a great opportunity.

Chapter 24 Cutting Ties

The people of the Quirk family quietly turned their gaze toward Christopher.

At that moment, Christopher could only stare blankly at Luna. He, too, looked somewhat pitiful with his distraught expression.

David and Selena exchanged a glance, feeling that this was an appropriate time to discuss certain matters.

So, Selena began, “It’s not right for you to say this, Mrs. Cowell. We have four children in our family. Even if we can’t achieve absolute fairness, we can still maintain a relative balance. I’ve never seen such a complete bias toward one child.”

As no one expected the Quirk family to speak up, the Cowell family was left in a state of panic. They hadn’t even gotten the engagement done.

“No, it’s just that this daughter of ours is too proud. That’s why we…”

Bianca was also in a panic, tears streaming down her face as she turned to Christopher. “Chris, do you think I’m a bad person too? I’m not! I can explain everything! I really didn’t realize how much this mattered to my sister! I know it’s all my fault

, and I am to blame, but I didn’t do it on purpose!”

“Let me ask you this, then. Were you really the one who saved me back then?” Christopher asked before his mother could say anything.

As soon those words left his mouth, everyone in the Cowell family was taken aback. They couldn’t understand why he would bring up such a matter out of the blue.

The onlookers were thoroughly amused. After all, the initial reason for changing the candidate for the marriage agreement stemmed from this life–saving favor.

Previously indifferent and aloof, Luma was taken aback and looked at her family members in surprise.

This was something even she didn’t know about

Because of the life–saving favor she owed, Luna found herself unable to even defend her own engagement. Despite never being the kind of person who shied away from confronting her own feelings, this situation left her struggling to move forward.

She was shocked to hear that Bianca had once again stolen her credit.

“It was you… You guys…” Luna felt her heart ache again. I was delirious with fever and forgot, and you guys deceived me? All for your little daughter to receive this favor? I can’t believe you guys actually did something like this!”

The expressions of those from the Cowell family kept changing. It was indeed hard to find an excuse when such a matter was exposed. Are we supposed to openly admit that we wanted to give our eldest daughter’s fiance to our younger daughter, simply because we favor her more?

As they found it difficult to justify their actions, they initially kept it a secret from Luna.

This time, however, they no longer dared to twist the truth due to the sheer amount of information that had been exposed. They didn’t do a flawless job back then, so they could get exposed if the Quirk family were to investigate. They had never anticipated an investigation, hence the thought of destroying all evidence had never crossed their minds.

As such, they didn’t dare to utter a single word

“It was me, not my sister! Chris, you have to believe me Bianca was truly panir king this time. Seeing Christopher’s expression, she knew he didn’t believe her, so she added, “I can’t remember! I’ve been sick Besides, I’ve asked you before, you said you liked me and that it had nothing to do with the life–saving

Lavor!”

A flash of fiery red flickered in Christopher’s eyes as he spoke again. Bianca had never heard him speak in such a cold tone before. “So, was it the real you that I fell for? Or was it just your facade?“:

Bianca’s face turned pale as tears continued streaming down her face.

Christopher no longer wanted to look at her pitiful appearance, though. Instead, he turned his gaze toward

Luma, however, shifted her gaze away.

Everything had come to an end. Even after learning the truthabout what had happened in the past, it held no significance for Lama. If anything, it only served to deepen her disappointment in those three individuals.

Watching Lama deliberately avoid his gaze, Christopher felt as though something had painfully pierced his

It was as though he had genuinely lost something of great importance..

“What is going on here? Who can give me an answer? Who was the one I’ve been with for three months? Who is the one responsible for the loss of my child?” Thomas’s mind was in turmoil. He then pointed angrily at the Cowell family and continued, “You, the Cowell family, owe me an explanation! I don’t care if it’s your elder daughter or younger daughter! I will not be toyed with like this!”

Before the Cowell family could regain their composunt, Luna turned to Thomas and said, “After all I’ve said, can’t you tell?”

Thomas’s gaze shifted from Luna to Bianca, and his hand suddenly rose to grab at her. “Was it you? Was it you? You were with me almost every night from May to July this year. If it wasn’t you, then where were you all those nights?” he demanded.

Startled, Bianca immediately hid behind her parents. It wasn’t me! It definitely wasn’t me! I’ve been at home! I’ve been staying home!”

Henry and Marjorie’s faces were ghostly pale, their expressions constantly shifting. After exchanging at glance, they took a fleeting look at Luna, silently gritting their teeth.

Putting the past aside, there’s no way Bianca could have been involved in this matter. She was at home the entire time, and both my wife and I can vouch for that, Henry interjected all of a sudden,

Upon hearing these words, Thomas cast a doubtful look toward Luna once again.

Everyone was left in a state of confusion. After all, they could never have imagined such a scenario where parents would go to the extent of sabotaging one daughter for the sake of another.

The look Luna gave her parents was so icy that it could have frozen someone solid.

“What false statement? If you have any grievances, then take it out on us! Why do you insist on tarnishing your sister’s reputation? Is that what it takes to satisfy you? Do you intend to drag your sister down with you simply because your reputation is tarnished?” Henry exclaimed.

“Indeed, our past actions were inappropriate, but your sister is innocent. We’ve sheltered her so much that she hardly understands anything. Besides, she’s been frail since childhood, and it’s partly your fault for hogging her share of nutrients. You’ve always owed her Marjorie exclaimed.

Luna laughed. “I get it now. You all know perfectly well that I was up in the mountains conducting research during that time and couldn’t provide an alibi for myself. That’s why you planned to help Bianca by giving a false statement, huh? You thought you could pin all her misdeeds on me. So, you’ve already concluded that she was the one who was with Thomas. Every time she did something like this, she did it under my name. None of you cared why she did it. And after everything happened, you expect me to just take the fall for her?”

When confronted with Luna’s questioning, the eyes of Henry and Marjorie flickered.

In the past, Luna could still deceive herself with excuse for her actions, pretending everything was fine within the family.

This time, however, her parents didn’t bother to put up any pretenses or find any excuses. They openly chose to protect Bianca, betraying her in the process.

Bianca remained safely shielded behind her parents, with only her resentful gaze and ungrateful expression visible.

From an economic perspective, this was a matter of sunk costs.

Because Henry and Marjorie had devoted so much time and energy to Bianca, Luna felt like a distant

relative to them. Naturally, there was a clear difference in their level of affection.

They were unwilling to face the fact that they had wronged Luna. Instead, they treated her even more unfairly to justify their actions. They even sought out flaws in Luna to mask their own guilt, which led to an unhealthy situation.

The injustices Luna suffered were overlooked, while Bianca’s were magnified.
