Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 20 The Deception

"If that's the case, this would be Bianca's first ttaking something that belonged to Luna"

Christopher's face subtly shifted as he covertly glanced at Luna.

Christopher and Luna were classmates back in their hcountry. Fate would have it that the country they

visited for that ill-fated summer camp was where Bianca was receiving her treatment.

Even though Christopher was merely ten years old at the time, an arrangement between their grandmothers had

already designated him as Luna's fiancé. Naturally, he was expected to meet the Cowell family.

That was Christopher's first encounter with Bianca in the hospital ward, where she exuded a charming and

delicate aura, akin to a princess.

"Bianca was mesmerized by

Christopher's charm the very first tshe laid eyes on him. Upon learning that he was Luna's fiancé, exclusively

belonging to her sister, Bianca made a fuss and insisted on spending twith him. Jealousy can truly distort

one's character! Despite receiving unconditional love and full attention from her parents, Bianca still desired to

claim what belonged to Luna. She felt that without Luna, everything would have naturally been hers."

Christopher's heart skipped a beat upon hearing those words.

No. Bianca isn't a person like that. She isn't...

Back then, Bianca was indeed causing a commotion in the ward. All Christopher felt was pity for the ailing little

girl, wishing someone would keep her company. Moreover, whenever he glanced at her face, which bore a

striking resemblance to Luna's, Christopher could not help but feel sympathy.

But Isabella mentioned that Bianca received her parents' unconditional love and full attention. What about Luna?

What does she have back then? She had me, her fiancé

At that thought, it felt as though Christopher had been metaphorically struck in the head, leaving his mind

buzzing.

"Originally, Christopher and Luna were supposed to attend the event together. However, Bianca, who was in the

hospital, kicked up a fuss, insisting on going with Christopher herself and not allowing her sister to attend. As the

event wasn't something one could join on a whim, their parents ultimately asked Luna to forfeit her participation.

Instead, they requested Bianca, he identical twin, to take her place, and asked Christopher to look after her."

Christopher's expression darkened. Back then, he had not thought much of it and had agreed to Hayden and

Marjorie's request to look after Bianca without considering Luna's feelings.

He naturally assumed that Luna would give in to her younger sister. To him, it felt like she ought to do so

100. 100.

He could not recall Luna's expression back then.

The Quirk family heard that Luna willingly gave her sick sister the chance to go out and have fun. They even

admired the deep bond between the sisters.

he had encountered Bianca and asked about her as soon as he woke up. The Cowell family seized the

opportunity and began spinning a web of lies Evenually, Lima conchided that her sister was the one who rescued

they simply assumed the girl who returned to the campsite was too worried about her friend and fainted.

Everything fell into place seamlessly, leaving

no room for doubt. It was a remarkably melotic affair"

Christopher's body stiffened. Isabella's words felt so real that his memories began to falter.

Yet, he was reluctant to accept that all those years of events were untrue. Why did Henry and Marjorie persist in

this? Their relationship back then wasn't as strained as it is te

The Quirk family was puzzled. They could never comprehend the actions of Henry and Marjorie, for their family

values were just too different.

After cursing in her heart for a long while. Isabella finally spoke out.

"It seems they had been contemplating swapping their betrothed all along. It wasn't solely because of Bianca's

childish and selfish behavior, but also because they saw Luna as strong and capable of managing any marital

alliance. Meanwhile, Bianca's delicate health made it necessary for her to marry into a supportive family that

could provide the resources she needed for recovery, without ever belittling her."

The Quirk family finally understood it all. After all, it was rare to find another prestigious and wealthy family like

theirs that did not seek alliances through their children's marriages.

The Cowell family had only two daughters, and it was mevitable that they would prioritize marriage alliance.

In the past, it took Sophia several years of persistent persuasion before she finally secured a marriage

agreement with Esmee.

Originally, their family did not have a tradition of arranging engagements in advance.

"Upon first learning that Old Mrs. Cowell had arranged Luna's engagement to Christopher, they were deeply

displeased. They believed Old Mrs. Cowell was showing favoritism, focusing solely on her eldest granddaughter

while overlooking the younger one. Old Mrs. Cowell promptly fired back, saying, 'You only show concern for

Bianca while neglecting Luna. Shouldn't | ensure Luna's well-being while I'm still alive? Must | wait an eternity for

you to acknowledge her?" "Wow, Old Mrs. Cowell sure had a way with words!"

The Quirk family sighed. Esmee had passed away a long tago. The Cowell family had often toyed with the

notion of altering their alliance, but Sophia always quashed the idea. As for the Quirks, they were determined to

honor their commitment. It was not unl Sophia's recent passing that the Cowells true

The Quirks covertly glanced at Christopher, observing his significantly darkened expression. They could not

discern whether he had believed their words,

After all, Christopher was as stubborn as a mule.

Indeed, he was still reluctant to believe.

Ihat on earth is Isabella saying? Does she have any evidence to back it up? Fine can her words suddenly become

Christopher fixed Alexander with a stare filled with indignation, grievances, and frustration.

Alexander furrowed his brows. He really did not want to deal with his foolish younger brother. However, upon

hearing Isabella's earlier sharing, he did stumble upon a piece of information that might pass as evidence.

suggestion with a smile, stating. "We have an appointment with the Quirk family today, so we're a bit pressed for

time."

Upon hearing this, everyone wished they could stay and join in the excitement, eager to witness how this

engagement would ultimately unfold.

However, it would not be right for them to insist on staying if the family members involved wanted to speak in

private.

Those who were preparing to leave were all reluctant to part ways.

Just then, someone barged into the ballroom.

"Luna, Luna! | heard you're calling off your engagement! In that case, I'll propose to your family today. I'll marry

you. After all, you are already mine! I'm responsible for you!"

Luna and Christopher both looked up at the stime, only to see the man who had previously disturbed Luna «
