Chapter 25 The Reveal
An eerie silence filled the entire place. They had gorged themselves on
on one round after another of shocking revelations, leaving them stuffed.
By calling off the engagement and cutting ties with the Cowell family, Luna was practically parting ways with them. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
All they had ever heard were stories of illegitimate children desperately trying to force their way into their circles. Never have they heard of a prominent young lady willingly giving up her status to leave that circle.
It must have taken a tremendous amount of resolve for her to utter such words.
However, considering the actions of the Cowell family, it was uncertain how they might have taken advantage of Luna if she didn’t leave.
“Y–Y–You unfilial daughter!” Henry seemed to be at a loss for words.
In tears. Marjorie exclaimed, “Luna, is this how you repay us after how we raised you?”
You
may have given birth to me, but you never raised me. Given the choice, I would have preferred not to have been born to you two at all. It’s better than being used as a tool to nurture Bianca.”
Henry and Marjorie were practically staring wide–eyed at Luna.
“Luna, can you please stop this nonsense? Even if you’re upset, you can’t say such things! Aren’t you afraid of breaking our parents‘ hearts?” Bianca suddenly rushed up, fiercely grabbing Luna’s wrist. Her grip was so strong that it made Luna furrow her brows
Bianca stared at her intensely, her face as pale as a corpse. She clung to Luna as if the latter was her last strand of hope, her voice choked with emotion as she continued, “Listen, Luna. If you don’t want to marry Thomas, then don’t. If you guys break up, so be it. There’s really no need to make such a fuss. I’ll admit. that I was in the wrong before. I took your place for all sorts of reasons, so I can’t blame you for wanting to pin this on me now. I know you want to get back at me because you’re fond of Chris and don’t want to break off the engagement. That’s okay; I’m fine with that. Now, can we go home and talk about this?”
As expected of someone who constantly bullies her sister… Even in this state, she’s still struggling desperately. Did she really think Luna would change her mind? Luna must have coddled them a lot in the past to give them such illusions!
“Bianca, can’t you comprehend such simple words? I’ve proven myself. Now, what about you?“–Luna said coldly, swiftly distancing herself from Bianca.
Bianca’s expression contorted dramatically, her eyes flashing with madness as she yelled, “I’m a daughter of the Cowell family! How could you ask me to do such a thing? Luna, are you trying to kill our parents with worry? Or is this your way of humiliating me? I am innocent! I don’t even know him! If you push me any further, I might as well die right now!”
After speaking. Bianca dashed toward the nearby buffet table, picked up the scissors used for cracking crab shells, and pointed it at her own neck. “My death should be sufficient to prove my innocence!” she exclaimed while crying.
This scene frightened everyone present.

Henry and Marjorie were in a state of panic and distress, pleading tearfully for mercy.
“It’s all your fault! Look at what you’ve done! Are you trying to get your sister killed?” Marjorie berated as she hit Luna.
Henry also turned toward Luna, his anger evident as he yelled “Are you satisfied now? Is this the outcome you wanted? Aren’t you going to apologize to your sister? You’re the one who was with Thomas, yet you still won’t admit it! Do you really want to see your sister die!”
Luna stared at Bianca, her face bearing an indescribable expression, ending in something between a laugh and a cry
It was always like this. Even though she was the one who had endured the pain and humiliation, as soon as Bianca started crying or making a fuss, they would a as if nothing had happened. Not only that, but Luna would also be made to look like the one in the wrong
hy did I have to endure all of this? Can I never break free from this?
that moment, Luna was suffocating so much that she didn’t want to utter a single word
Assuming that she too was startled by her sister’s actions, everyone was taken aback and retreated in akonishment
The looks on the faces of the Quirks were grim. But in the next moment, they were struck with shock.
Before anyone could react, a figure appeared behind Bianca. With a loud thud, a tray was swiped from left
Bianca’s head spun, leaving afterimages behind as she stumbled and fell. The scissors she held flew out of her hand..
Everyone gaped at the woman who had suddenly appeared.
The Quirks couldn’t help but wonder when Isabella had made her way over.
Isabella set down the tray and said. “Thank goodness saw through her cunning scheme in advance. She wanted to play the victim and shift the blame, even going as far as to guilt trip Luna. She must be dreaming! It wasn’t easy for Luna to break free and live her own life, so she mustn’t be ruined by such a selfish and evil woman!”
In such a situation, if Blanes were to harm herself even slightly, Luna would bear the brunt of the blame for the rest of her life. Even if she were innocent in this matter, it would be of no use. The outside world would only spread rumors about her, accusing her of being oppressively forceful, driving her own sister to
suicide.
The Quirks wore grim expressions. If something were to happen at their banquet, it would be impossible to explain, no matter how justified they were. Thankfully, Isabella was there to save the day.
With a gloomy look on his face, Alexander gestured with a wave of his hand. His household bodyguards rushed in Before anyone could react they subdued Bianca, who was still lying on the ground and in a
daze.
“What are you doing! Henry and Marjone panicked

Alexander replied in a cold tone, “Your daughter has suicidal tendencies and is mentally unstable. For her safety, it is our duty to restrict her actions to prevent any harm to guests before you leave the Quirk
manor.”
The others finally breathed a sigh of relief, praising Isabella’s swift action and Alexander’s decisive arrangements. They were merely spectators in this drama, so they did not want to experience any bloody incidents.
It truly showed that one should never judge a book by its cover. Bianca was simply out of her mind.
Henry and Marjorie’s expressions were as grim as they could possibly be. After all, they were forced to watch as their daughter got treated like she was mentally ill.
“We’re all family here-”
“Lama has already broken off her
off her engagement with my younger brother, so our families are no longer connected” Alexander deliberately left out any mention of Bianca and Christopher’s affairs, which clearly indicated the stance of the Quirk family.
Henry and Marjorie nearly lost their footing when they heard that.
Just a moment ago, they were adamantly denying it, fearing that Bianca would be entangled by that good- for–nothing guy, and risk losing Christopher, their rich son–in–law.
However, it seemed that the current situation was beyond repair.
After regaining her strength, Bianca found herself in pain and helpless. “Save me, Chris!” she cried out as she struggled.
However, Christopher didn’t even look at her. Instead, his gaze was fixed on Luna, who was standing to one
side.
Luna seemed a bit odd, though. She was staring at the scissors that had just landed by her feet, her head. bowed and unmoving. There was a terrifying heaviness about her.
Thomas stormed over, gripping Bianca’s chin tightly as he asked, “Was it you who was with me?”
“Let go of our daughter!” Henry rushed forward, forcefully pushing Thomas away. “Those of you from the Walker family, won’t you do anything about this?”
“Heh… No matter what, Thomas would never stoop to pretending to be someone else to deceive someone’s feelings, let alone seek death when exposed. So, there’s no need for us to intervene. The Cowell family should be the one looking after their child, no?
Henry and Marjorie instantly burned bright red.
Thomas chuckled. “I won’t be made a fool of like this. You won’t admit it, huh? I have even n
more shocking photos right here, so I’ll release them now. I refuse to believe that you twins are identical in every inch of your bodies!”
This statement instantly sent shivers down everyone’s spine. They had actually taken such photos, and he’s planning to release them? How could they possibly face the world afterwards?
Seeing that Thomas was about to take out his phone, Banca lost control and shouted, “You’re lying! You

never took any pictures!”
Meanwhile, Luna showed no reaction at all. The contrast between them was striking-
At that moment, all eyes were intensely fixed on Bianc
When Bianca came to her senses, her face was void of all emotions.
Henry and Marjorie wore expressions of utter defeat.
“Yeah, I didn’t. I lied to you, Bianca. Now, let’s see how you’ll defend yourself” Thomas sneered, then turned to Luna and said, “I’m sorry, I was also deceived by your lying sister before, which led me to trouble you. I apologize, but this isn’t my fault. How could I know when you two look so alike?”
Luna’s lips quivered slightly, offering no response, nor showing any joy after being absolved of suspicion. Luna seems a bit depressed. She must have been upset by something.
Christopher was taken aback when he read that thought, and his mood sank instantly. Is Luna ill from the forment inflicted by her own family?
“It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me! Don’t look at her, Chris! Look at me! I’m being falsely accused! I’ve done nothing to betray you! Mom! Dad! You two have to vouch for me! Prove that it was Luna, not me!” Bianca yelled.
Despite their favoritism and constant protection, Henry and Marjorie knew that the situation had become unsalvageable at this point
Even so, Bianca was unwilling to accept this sudden turn of events.
Her reputation was ruined, and her good name was completely tarnished.
No longer able to hide her true colors, she bellowed at Luna, “Just admit that it was you, Luna! Didn’t you always obediently submit whenever I took from you?”
Luna looked at Bianca and asked, “Why should I?”
“Why should you? Because you owe it to me! It’s because of you that I’ve been so weak and sickly! You have no idea what it’s like to grow up in a hospital, constantly medicated and undergoing surgeries. battling death every single day. You’re the reason for all of this! If I were healthy, I could’ve led a better life than you! Hence, all my miseries should be your burden to bear! You were born to be trampled under my feet, to sacrifice everything for me!”
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
They cast sympathetic glances toward Luna, while their gazes swept over Bianca with disdain.
However, in the end, their attention settled on Henry and Marjorie. When Marjorie had mentioned that before, everyone just assumed it was a ploy to persuade Luna, making her feel a bit guilty so she would. back down.
Surprisingly, even Bianca had such a peculiar thought.

Isabella’s sentiments echoed the feelings of everyone esse
No one knew how the Cowell family managed to raise such a crazy child.
But in the next moment, Luna’s voice trembled as she said. “No, don’t even think about s again.”
Perhaps such experiences had left a shadow of torment in the past
Euna actually picked up the scissors from the ground poised to slash across her own face.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
A figure swiftly appeared, reaching out to block the scors
Everyone watched in shock as everything unfolded before their eyes. Surprisingly, it was Christopher who uved Luna. Had he not intervened, Lona would have faded up with at least one scar on her face from blade

Actually, it wasn’t that Christopher acted swiftly. Rather, when Luna made her move, Isabella caught sight of her intentions and let out a gasp. That was why Christopher was able to act a step ahead.
Luna never expected to be stopped. She stared blankly at Christopher, noticing that his palm seemed to be bleeding from gripping the scissors.
“Let go! I’m done cleaning up her messes! I’m done having her steal things from me, and I’m done taking the blame for her actions! I’ve had enough. I want to completely distance myself from her!” Luna said in an icy tone.
