Chapter 31 Where Is My Knife Chapter 31 Where Is My Knife 15 PINK 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 and working hard to break free from all shackles to finally start a new lifeâ¦
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 sheâd just witnessed. While others couldnât hear her thoughts, Standing beside her, Christopher grew more and more tense. He was practically glaring daggers at .
Nothing was more infuriating the thought of your beloved being fantasized about by other sems.
If the other party were a man, Christopher would have already punched her.
âIs a misunderstanding?â the female researcher asked incredulously. âHow could Zeke harbor such thoughts?â
Of course, she wasnât defending Anais or questioning Isabella but found the situation incredibly absurd.
âHe⦠heâs making things up, I know it!â Anaisâ cheeks flushed. Her face showed anxiety, though a rational side of still knew what was right and wrong.
Isabella feigned surprise. âSo you knew all along. I get it now. When you were arguing downstairs, pretending to doubt Luna while saying youâd ask her later, I thought you genuinely misunderstood Luna, so I tried to help clear things up. Iâm glad you didnât trust that.â
Isabella wore a sarcastic smile. She had tactlessly exposed someoneâs cover without caring about making the atmosphere even more awkward.
Everyone At this moment, they recalled Anaisâ attitude toward Luna carlier, and their faces turned increasingly grim.
Compared to Zekeâs fabrications, what left them speechless was Anaisâ suspicions.
Anais had never expected Isabella to say such things. She looked at Isabella with mixture of shock and extreme resentment, as if the latter was deliberately targeting her.
Lunaâs face already turned quite pale. âYou think I and your exâ¦â
She was so disgusted that she couldnât continue Anais couldnât meet Lunaâs gaze. Her head hung low, she explained in a trembling voice, âI didnât. I was just trying to appease him.â
âHuh!â Luna was too angry to speak.
1/3 Chapter 31 Where Is My Knife A male researcher couldnât help but interject, âJust trying to appease? Shouldnât you have firmly denied it, like how she always firmly responds when you seek her help every time you quarrel with your boyfriend? If it werenât for your constant seeking of comfort from her, she wouldnât even know who boyfriend is.â
your âIâve only heard of wanting someone out of oneâs league, but never dreaming of someone out of oneâs league liking oneself! Anais, does your exâboyfriend possibly have delusions?â another male researcher finally couldnât resist mocking.
Anais teared up, feeling like she was being bullied by everyone.
âBack then, Zeke spoke with such certainty, I was justâ¦â
Christopher could no longer hold back and scoffed, âCertainty? I couldnât even get her to like me after getting on my knees, yet she could have a crush on your exâboyfriend? Where does he get his confidence from?â
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!â
Seeing Christopherâs chilling aura and his clenched fists on the table, the research trio shivered.
They had no doubt that if the man were summoned, Christopherâs righteous fist would not hesitate to punch that shameless manâs head.
âAnd you, do you know what an ingrate means Anais was easily embarrassed. She struggled to breathe after Christopherâs direct mockery.
âI didnât mean it that way. I was just caught off guard and didnât react in time. It could have been handled privately. Whyâ¦â
Instead of reflecting, Anais silently blamed Isabella for bringing up such an embarrassing matter in public. Isabella had already noticed Christopherâs presence. Even if she didnât 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 future?
Feeling Anais resentful gaze, Isabella smiled gracefully.
She hadnât even started revealing all the details yet. It was just small gesture to save face for the girl. In this world, virtue would be rewarded. They couldnât let ingrates trample over kindness like this.
Since Christopher had taken on the role of Lunaâs protector, Isabella naturally retreated into the background and watched the spectacle unfold.
