Gossip Girl Reborn

Chapter 33 No Chance 

To avoid getting exposed, Christopher deployed his acting skills, enhancing his charisma by immediately suggesting a game and supper session with two male researchers. 

Luna naturally didn’t oblige and turned back alone to her room. 

The others exchanged looks. Everyone knew Christopher was just finding an excuse to spend more time 

with Luna. 

Now that the main characters had left, everyone planned to return to their rooms. 

Unexpectedly, Christopher genuinely intended to treat everyone to supper. 

The trio of researchers was quite surprised and initially wanted to politely decline.. 

Christopher said, “I should have treated you all to a meal long ago.” 

Years ago, he didn’t fulfill his obligations to his fiancée but now wants to treat his fiancée’s friend to a meal. Now that their engagement has been called off, it’s a belated effort. With nowhere else to go, Isabella couldn’t help but sarcastically comment, following their lead. 

Christopher’s smile stiffened under the weight of these thoughts. 

The trio felt awkward too. After all, Luna’s return to her room showed that she didn’t want to get involved with Christopher personally. Although they thought Christopher and Luna were well–suited, they had their limits and didn’t–want Luna to feel pressured or angry. 

While they could be kind, they couldn’t guilt trip others. 

Seeing their hesitation, Christopher quickly changed the subject. “Actually, I wanted to get to know your team members better, so I can invest wisely and pay attention to the details in the future.” 

Even though it was likely just an excuse, since it had been said, any further refusal would risk offending the benefactor. 

Thus, everyone was swept along by the atmosphere to the male researchers‘ room for supper. 

Christopher ordered a lavish feast for everyone, instantly dispelling any sense of distance. He even went as far as agreeing to autographs and photos. Even if they weren’t fans of Christopher, he was a top star, and posting about it would garner a crazy amount of likes on social media. 

Before long, Christopher contacted Hayden to arrange two rooms on this floor. 

He cleverly chose the room directly opposite Luna’s. 

Hayden and Thalia eventually arrived, smoothly covering up the lie. 

However, after Hayden pulled Christopher aside for a private chat, it was clear the issue was with Bianca. Christopher clearly wanted nothing to do with that person’s news anymore. 

With Christopher’s attitude, Hayden naturally loosened up and informed the outside world, severing all resources previously provided to Bianca.

On the other side, Isabella and Thalia enjoyed barbecued skewers together. Christopher approached them and whispered, “Later, accompany me to deliver food to Luna.” 

Is he using me as a buffer because he is afraid to go alone? 

Isabella declined. 

She had never considered helping to match Christopher and Luna. 

Christopher gritted his teeth. “I just transferred a million, fresh from the oven.” 

Isabella responded firmly, “A deal’s a deal. This is a separate price.” 

Christopher choked, incredulously looking at this principled (avaricious) person who had just taken his money. She had recently conned him out of his money, yet felt no guilt? 

In the end, he had no choice but to transfer money again. 

He couldn’t help but comment, “If this continues, I’ll have a conditioned reflex.” 

Every time he asked for help, he would give out morey 

Isabella smiled and accepted the money. 

As expected, he’s turning into a new leaf! But is he stupid? Anyone else here could be a better buffer for him to deliver the food. But no, he chose me. Isn’t this treating me to front–row seats? I’ve never encountered such a spendthrift invitation. Haha, my opinion of Chris is truly improving 

Christopher heard her inner voice and felt numb. Yes, why do I have to choose Isabella? Could it be that I considered her family? 

Thinking of this possibility, he suddenly felt goosebumps all over. 

Forget it. At least someone will accompany me. 

He selected some food for Luna. Isabella suggested, “The eggplant is well–grilled.” 

“She doesn’t eat eggplant.” 

Isabella was surprised. “You still remember her preferences, 

“Yeah.” Christopher responded nonchalantly. 

Isabella was somewhat surprised. After all, he had previously been so distant from Luna that she had thought he only remembered everything related to Bianca. 

They arrived at Luna’s door, and Christopher knocked. 

Shortly after, Luna’s cold voice came from inside, “Who is it?” 

Christopher replied, “It’s me and Bella. We brought you some supper.” 

It was quiet for a moment inside. Obviously, Luna was hesitant. After a while, she opened the door.

But as soon as the door opened, Luna looked at Isabella, and her tone warmed noticeably, “Thank you, but I don’t eat supper, so please don’t waste it.” 

As Luna was standing at the door, it was clear she had no intention of inviting them in. 

Isabella suddenly understood that Luna was being very defensive. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

But before Christopher got anxious, Luna suddenly said, “By the way, Isabella.” 

Isabella was stunned, feeling that Luna was addressing her in a more intimate manner. 

Luna said seriously. “Thank you for what you did concerning Anais. I will remember your help. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask.” 

After that, Luna showed a sincere smile, genuinely expressing her gratitude to Isabella. 

If Isabella hadn’t seen through and exposed Anais and Zeke, she would still be in the dark. She had long wanted to find an opportunity to thank Isabella, but Christopher had been there all along, making her unable to. She had to take advantage of this opportunity to speak. 

Isabella waved her hand. “It’s nothing. It shows that you are lucky to accidentally see their true colors. Otherwise, if you continue to help them… Sooner or later, the violent man will target you.” 

Luna frowned, sensing something similar. “I originally pitied her, but I was wrong.” 

“As the saying goes, ‘Behind every pitiful person there must be their hateful deeds‘. The sayings were right.” Isabella lamented. 

Christopher recalled the messages conveyed by Isabella and couldn’t help but grit his teeth. “People like Anais are simply bad and stupid. They wasted your kindness. You didn’t do anything wrong.” 

“She did make a mistake,” Isabella picked up a skewer from the plate and started nibbling on it. 

“Hey!” Christopher exclaimed. 

Luna looked at Isabella. 

Isabella continued. “When you first advised her to break up and she agreed but then got back together. you should have realized she’s not the type to listen to advice. At times like this, you should permanently avoid getting involved in her emotional issues. Some people need guidance, but some don’t. She only needs emotional venting and confirmation of their thoughts. So when you encounter such people, you should give up on playing the rescuer and respect others‘ destinies. Otherwise, sooner or later, you’ll suffer because of someone else’s actions.” 

Luna was momentarily stunned by this, then nodded. “You’re right. What you’re saying makes sense.” 

Christopher was somewhat surprised and even had a hint of admiration for Isabella’s sudden transformation. He wondered if Isabella was enlightened after getting the superpower of seeing through prople. 

But no, that couldn’t be right. A person who was truly enlightened wouldn’t be this greedy. 

Just as he was thinking this, Isabella grinned broadly and said, “Just like me, I generally don’t advise breaking up or getting back together!”

Reading between the lines, Luna was taken aback before breaking into a smile. “Yes, I should learn from 

you.” 

Smiling, Isabella waved goodbye to her and left. 

Not looking at Christopher, Luna murmured softly. “If there’s nothing else, I need to rest.” She moved to 

close the door. 

“Wait!” In his haste, Christopher reached out immediately. 

There was a muffled grunt from Christopher. His hand got caught in the door. 

Startled. Luna quickly released the door handle. 

But before Luna could close the door again, Christopher had already used one hand to block the door, not giving Luna another chance to close it. 

“Luna, I need to talk to you!” Christopher’s tone was urgent, his gaze deep and intense. 

Luna–felt like she was being suffocated by an invisible pressure. Christopher’s aura enveloped her, making her physically uncomfortable. 

She furrowed her brows, meeting his gaze with an icy indifference that made Christopher feel uneasy. Yet, he stubbornly held his ground, refusing to back down. 

Oh, persistent tactics won’t work on Luna. How clueless. 

Christopher was taken aback. How can I still hear Isabella’s thoughts? Didn’t she leave? 

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the door to the neighboring room hadn’t been closed properly. and there were more than one shadows visible through the crack. 

Clearly, a group of people were eavesdropping over there. 

Christopher’s face turned red instantly. Originally, he was proud and confident, used to being respected by others. He could never allow himself to be in such an embarrassing situation. 

But now he had no choice but to act shamelessly because he couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity to 

talk to Luna. 

Christopher was about to speak when Isabella started commenting from the other side. 

Oh, I bet this won’t work. 

Christopher was speechless. No, I haven’t started yet! Donjin it! 

Just having a humble attitude in’t enough to make past hurts disappear. Luna is waiting for Christopher to say the right things and end everything completely. If he messes this up, Christopher is done for. 

Christopher suddenly turned pale with shock as he looked at Luna’s icy expression. He had anticipated it wouldn’t be easy, but he didn’t expect it to be almost hopeless! 

It was like the final plea of a death tightened 

row inmate before sentencing. He was so nervous that his throat

But he couldn’t avoid it. He still owed Luna three sentences.
