Gossip Girl Reborn

Chapter 36 Your Wife Bullied Me 

I didn’t expect Isabella to even have a knack for managing a marketing account to promote gossip. Christopher was devastated. 

Isabella said guiltily, “I’m sorry! We’re all family here, and they just care about your situation with Luna. Besides, think about it, if you and Luna do end up together, this video might actually become a cherished memory.” 

Wow, gee! Thanks! Christopher was speechless. 

Even though I’m sure they won’t have a happy ending, let’s just tell a white lie to appease him for now to get myself out of this. 

Christopher was livid. D*mn you! Your apology isn’t even sincere! 

“Right, about Bianca…” Isabella noticed Christopher’s grim expression and quickly shifted the topic. How should I put this? It’s a matter of life and death. But how can I justify where I got 

my information 

Christopher cast an irritated glance at Isabella but gave her a way out. “There’s something wrong with Bianca. Hayden just told me to keep my distance from her in the future, lest she does something reckless.” 

Christopher kept things to himself. Neither Hayden nor Isabella would suspect anything. 

Isabella was surprised, not expecting them to already know. This put her at ease. 

Isabella beamed. “Thankfully you managed to… Ahem. evade a crisis.” 

“Go to sleep!” Christopher’s face fell, so irritated by the sight of Isabella that he wanted her to disappear. 

Isabella shrugged. Why are you so mad? Is it such a disgrace to be a virgin? Both you and your brother are virgins. You don’t see him feeling ashamed. Ah, I see. So this runs in the family, huh? 

Christopher looked at her in bewilderment. 

Did I just hear that right? Did she just spill the beans? So that incident back then was really just a hoax? Wait! That’s not the point! The point is, Alex’s a virgin like me! So those exclamation marks in the chat are not just about me?

He felt comforted knowing he was not alone and that Alexander was just like him. That was probably the only good news about that night. 

Over at the Quirk manor, Alexander, who had just finished his work, suddenly felt out of sorts. 

Then, he seemed to hear whispers coming from somewhere within the usually quiet residence. 

Are they all awake in the dead of night? 

Puzzled, Alexander checked his phone’s memo before bed, only to discover a video his mother had forwarded to him. 

Curious, he clicked on it to take a look and was at a loss for words.

the time Christopher, exhausted to his bones, returned to his room, he received a call from Alexander. 

hristopher suspected that Alexander had also seen the video, which was why he called him at such a late 

Jur. 

e was embarrassed to face others, but not when facing his brother, who was in a similar situation. Hah! He as been a virgin longer than me, and he has a wife! 

riven by an inexplicable smugness, Christopher confidently picked up the phone. 

lexander had initially called to make sure Christopher was fine because the latter had cried and even got n his knees, only to hear his complaints. 

Did you watch the video?” 

Yes. 

‘Alex, your wife has been bullying me.” 

‘But I think you sound fine.” 

“You’ve changed. Are you even my brother?” 

Alexander was speechless, wondering why his brother had become so dramatic after an outing with Isabella. 

“Wait. You are my brother. Just now, Isabella mentioned that we are both virgins and that it runs in the family.” 

Alexander was irked, feeling tempted to beat up his younger brother. “I’m hanging up.” 

“Hey, wait a minute! I’ve got something important to discuss with you.” Christopher couldn’t be bothered to make himself feel better about being a virgin anymore and quickly seized the opportunity to discuss the investment. 

“Isabella mentioned it to me. How about this? I’ll come by to pick you up tomorrow and sort this out.” 

“Oh, you don’t have to make a trip here yourself. I can handle it.” 

“This is a brand new area for Quirk Group that we’ve never ventured before.” 

Christopher became anxious. “I’m serious. You can’t show up, or you’ll steal my thunder. I was planning to use this method to impress Luna!” 

Alexander paused momentarily and said, “You can’t resort to threats.” 

“Do you think I’m a fool? Of course I won’t!” 

“So, you’re really not giving up?” 

Christopher fell silent for a moment and sighed. “I dont want to give up. I really don’t. I like her a lot. Why do I only realize now that I’ve been in love with her for a long time?” 

I’ve been in lov 

Alexander found himself at a loss for words, listening to his brother’s tearful voice on the other end of th 54 

ine. Christopher finally managed to regain his composure after a while. 

Right, about Bianca…” Christopher briefly explained the situation to Alexander before his tone turned solemn. “Since she wants to harm me, I’ll ruin her reputation in high society.” 

Alexander hadn’t anticipated Bianca to attempt something so malicious. Immediately, he exuded a cold, Intimidating aura. “Got it. I’ll handle this.” 

The following morning, Christopher unabashedly took the initiative to arrange a meeting with the professor, behaving as if nothing had happened. They agreed to meet in the hotel’s restaurant downstairs. where a breakfast buffet was served. 

The entire research team was there except for Anais, which made the professor wonder where she was. Anais had a friend in town. Unable to face the others the previous night, she had left the hotel to stay with her friend. 

The professor didn’t dwell on that. Her face lit up with joy as if she had just seen a ray of hope when she heard about the investment and happily began introducing the project to Christopher. 

Christopher expressed his approval and promised to bring them straight to Quirk Group to sign the contract once they prepared the reports and documents. 

Everyone was in disbelief, thinking that it had been too easy and too good to be true. Aside from the professor, everyone else couldn’t help but look at Luna, knowing for a fact that all this was because of her 

Luna actually felt uneasy but was still happy for the professor. She was finally able to fulfill her lifelong ambition and contribute to the nation through her research. 

Lifting her gaze, she couldn’t help looking at the man, whose shoulder was bathed in the sunlight that filtered through the window. 

The moment their eyes met, Luna offered a serene smile. “Thank you.” 

Christopher was stunned, but Luna’s amicable demeanor didn’t cheer him up. 

So much had happened yesterday. Luna could have chosen to hide from him, feel repulsed by him, or even embarrassed to be around him, all of which would indicate she treated her differently and that he still held a place in her heart. 

What he feared the most was her indifference, which shattered his illusions and hopes like an invisible–fist. 

Deep down, he understood that although Isabella tended to be harsh and straightforward, her words were always brutally honest. She was right. The possibility of them being together was almost non–existent. 

But all he could do was escape from the truth. Even getting the chance to look at her one more time was good enough for him. 

Meanwhile, Thalia, who was indulging in the extravagant buffet, happened to spot them. Accustomed to engaging in gossip, she immediately messaged Isabella, who was still sleeping in: I sato Mr. Christopher and Mi. Cowell. 

When Isabella woke up and saw the message, she was wide awake and quickly asked: Which Cowell are we talking about?

Thalia: The beautiful researcher. 

Isabella chided herself for asking an unnecessary question. How could it have been Bianca? After coming to her senses, she swiftly rose from bed to freshen up, wanting to enjoy the drama firsthand. She typed: Save me a spot. I’ll be there shortly. 

Thalia: But they’re almost done eating. 

Isabella didn’t respond. Thalia could only constantly monitor the situation with her phone in hand. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After they had discussed and decided on the investment, the professor was eager to rush back and prepare the report, so they all got ready to leave upon having breakfast. 

Seeing that, Thalia could only send a message to Isabella. 

However, it wasn’t long before Isabella called her. 

Thalia could tell she was running. 

Hurry! There’s danger!” Isabella’s roar came from the other end of the line. 

“Stop them from leavinning. 

Momentarily stunned, Thalia quickly registered Isabella’s words and quickly rushed out. However, the hotel was huge. She had no idea which path they had taken. 

In the meantime, Isabella had just stepped off the elevator, her face pale. She spotted a group of people heading toward the elevator from a distance. 

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly noticed a dark shadow swiftly approaching them from behind. 

Isabella couldn’t make out who it was and could only yell. “Luna, watch out! Behind you!” 

Everyone paused in their tracks and turned around instinctively. 

Only Christopher was quick to react, rushing forward to shield Luna.
