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.

Chapter 31 Where Is My Knife 

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.”

“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. 

This was the first time Christopher openly hinted at his feelings for Luna. 

However, before she could react, he continued angrily. Why not call him here so I can see just how outstanding he is? I could learn a thing or two!” 

Seeing Christopher’s chilling aura and his clenched fists on the table, the research trio shivered. 

They had no doubt that if the man were summoned, Christopher’s righteous fist would not hesitate to punch that shameless man’s head. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“And you, do you know what an ingrate means?” 

Anais was easily embarrassed. She struggled to breathe after Christopher’s direct mockery. 

“I didn’t mean it that way. I was just caught off guard and didn’t react in time. It could have been handled privately. Why…” 

Instead of reflecting, Anais silently blamed Isabella for bringing up such an embarrassing matter in public. Isabella had already noticed Christopher’s presence. Even if she didn’t intend for her to misunderstand Luna, she should have stopped before it went too far and spared her some dignity. 

How am I supposed to face people in the future? 

Feeling Anais resentful gaze, Isabella smiled gracefully. 

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. 

Since Christopher had taken on the role of Luna’s protector, Isabella naturally retreated into the background and watched the spectacle unfold.

Chapter 31 Where Is My Knife 

But as soon as she started, she was disgusted. 

She was reading gossip about Anais. 

5 Free Coins 

One read: This girl is something else. Every time she has a fight with her ex, she not only complains to her research group but also to her various friends far away. It’s like she’s transferring all the negative energy given by the sc*mbag to others. After venting all her negative emotions, she goes back to her sc*mbag, all lovey–dovey. Having a friend like her is truly a karmic punishment from a past life. 

Another read: D*mn! She took so long in the restroom just now because she was secretly contacting another friend to discuss her suspicions about Luna. The friend, being far away, could only hear Anais side and concluded that Luna was trying to come between them and steal her boyfriend, calling Luna a pretentious b*tch Anais even replied with an innocent Really?‘ emoji. I want to puke! 

The person continued: The friend praised Anais, saying that if someone like Luna couldn’t get her man, it proved Anais charm. Anais replied with an embarrassed and shy emoji My God! Does she actually believe this? How vain is she to have such delusional fantasies? The friend also said that as long as Anais doesn’t break up with the scumbag she’ll always be the legal girlfriend, and the others will be mistresses! Concubines? Treating Luna as a mistress? Anais replied with a teary–eyed emoji. D’mn it, where’s my knife? 

Suddenly, a loud bang startled everyone present. 

Isabella snapped back to reality to see Christopher looking murderous, his fist having pounded the table 

He was glaring fiercely at the babbling Anais, who was trying to defend herself. 

Feeling the intense hostility, Anais froze in fear, her face turning pale as tears streamed down her face. 

“You!” Christopher was furious. 

“Christopher!” Luna suddenly interrupted. 

Christopher stopped like a dog being yanked back by its leash. He wanted to speak, but was unable to and could only look aggrievedly at Luna. 

“She… insulted you!” 

Luna was stunned. She hadn’t meant to stop hi 

stop him for that. 

“You’re making too much noise. Do you want to get photographed?” 

Indeed, their commotion had already drawn a lot of attention. 

Isabella also patted Christopher, signaling him to calm down. Though unsure what was going on with Christopher, she guessed he cared a lot. 

However, she completely agreed with the term “insult.” 

Some people simply didn’t deserve any respect.
