Isabella’s mocking, sarcastic tone echoed through the hallway. Every word she uttered felt like a slap 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, Isabella added, “I’m right, aren’t I, Mr. and Mrs. Cowell? It’s such a pity that you didn’t pass the compatibility test.”

den almost wanted to give Isabella a thumbs up to applaud her for her straightforwardness. This is so

satisfying.

Marjorie staggered and collapsed onto the ground, trembling all over. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she dared not meet anyone’s gaze. Yet, she still refused to admit that 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 slapped 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!”

Isabella said, “Oh, not only do I want to meddle, but I also intend to help you guys publicize this so everyone can see your behavior!”

“No! 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 was completely stunned.

Isabella and Hayden exchanged a glance, silently commending each other.

Alexander, standing between them, felt left out. I helped out too just now!

Henry exclaimed, “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 declared, “It was my fault that the engagement was called off. I’m not worthy of

her, and I deserve it. But let me make one thing clear, Luna’s affairs have everything to do with me!” Christopher looked down at the couple condescendingly, his tone harsh. “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. 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, unrelated to the stabbing incident. –

If what Christopher had said was indeed true, then Bianca was intentionally spreading her disease. That

was a crime.

“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 the laughingstock 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?” said Henry.

“Stop talking about family ties. Have you no shame? Have any of you ever provided her with any semblance of familial love? Getting associated with you guys is the last thing she wants right now. Wake and face reality. Do you seriously still think you can play the role of her parents?” Christopher sneered

His decorum and good upbringing crumbled before this shameless couple.

“You…” Henry was so furious he couldn’t even utter a complete sentence.

up 

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 have been family friends with your parents? Both our families have been friends since four generations ago!”

With an expressionless face, Alexander asked, “I have 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 she planning to do?”

Henry and 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 discomfort, especially when she touched the deep and wide scar that stretched across half her face.

Her love life had fallen apart, and her career was in ruins, too. Her whole life had practically been destroyed.

Henry stared blankly at his palm, recalling the countless times it had struck Luna. He let out a weak, agonizing chuckle that sounded more like a grating wail.
