Chapter 31 Where Is My Knife
15 PINK LIE
Isabella used to be merely a spectator to dramas. She never imagined such a spectacle would unfold right in front of her.
The Luna that Isabella knew was strong and brave, fighting her depression alone and working hard to break free from all shackles to finally start a new life…
Yet, the way the others perceived and described it was entirely different.
Recalling the conversation between those two made Isabella feel utterly disgusted.
She mentally replayed the scene, sarcastically mocking everything she’d just witnessed. While others couldn’t hear her thoughts,
Standing beside her, Christopher grew more and more tense. He was practically glaring daggers at Anais.
Nothing was more infuriating than the thought of your beloved being fantasized about by other sems.
If the other party were a man, Christopher would have already punched her.
“Is it a misunderstanding?” the female researcher asked incredulously. “How could Zeke harbor such thoughts?”
Of course, she wasn’t defending Anais or questioning Isabella but found the situation incredibly absurd.
“He… he’s making things up, I know it!” Anais‘ cheeks flushed. Her face showed anxiety, though a rational side of her still knew what was right and wrong.
Isabella feigned surprise. “So you knew all along. I get it now. When you were arguing downstairs, pretending to doubt Luna while saying you’d ask her later, I thought you genuinely misunderstood Luna, so I tried to help clear things up. I’m glad you didn’t trust that.”
Isabella wore a sarcastic smile. She had tactlessly exposed someone’s cover without caring about making the atmosphere even more awkward.
Everyone was
dumbfounded, staring at Anais in disbelief.
At this moment, they recalled Anais‘ attitude toward Luna carlier, and their faces turned increasingly grim.
Compared to Zeke’s fabrications, what left them speechless was Anais‘ suspicions.
Anais had never expected Isabella to say such things. She looked at Isabella with a mixture of shock and extreme resentment, as if the latter was deliberately targeting her.
Luna’s face had already turned quite pale. “You think I and your ex…”
She was so disgusted that she couldn’t continue speaking
Anais couldn’t meet Luna’s gaze. Her head hung low, she explained in a trembling voice, “I didn’t. I was just trying to appease him.”
“Huh!” Luna was too angry to speak.

A male researcher couldn’t help but interject, “Just trying to appease? Shouldn’t you have firmly denied it, just like how she always firmly responds when you seek her help every time you quarrel with your boyfriend? If it weren’t for your constant seeking of comfort from her, she wouldn’t even know who boyfriend is.”
your
“I’ve only heard of wanting someone out of one’s league, but never dreaming of someone out of one’s league liking oneself! Anais, does your ex–boyfriend possibly have delusions?” another male researcher finally couldn’t resist mocking.
Anais teared up, feeling like she was being bullied by everyone.
“Back then, Zeke spoke with such certainty, I was just…”
Christopher could no longer hold back and scoffed, “Certainty? I couldn’t even get her to like me after getting on my knees, yet she could have a crush on your ex–boyfriend? Where does he get his confidence from?”
Isabella was speechless. Did he add his own interpretation to that?
Luna, who had just been disgusted, froze upon hearing this. All her anger seemed to be washed away, leaving only panic.
“And you, do you know what an ingrate means?”
How am I supposed to face people in the future?
She hadn’t even started revealing all the details yet. It was just a small gesture to save face for the girl. In this world, virtue would be rewarded. They couldn’t let ingrates trample over kindness like this. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
But as soon as she started, she was disgusted.
