Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Chapter 32 An Easy Mark Smiling, Isabella took the opportunity to say, “Christopher just has a quick temper. I was there at the time. I believe you were flustered and didn’t react immediately.”

n unexpectedly. She hadn’t expected Isabella to speak up for her.

Anais choked up, her tears She was the one who started this, wasn’t it? Has she suddenly developed a conscience?

But the next moment, Isabella continued, “After all, anyone with a brain and eyes knows that Luna could never be interested in someone like that. Luna doesn’t weird hobbies, and her taste is normal. If even celebrities aren’t up to her standards, she definitely wouldn’t be interested in an ugly guy. And she has inclination for abuse. If she met a violent man, she’d definitely keep her distance. So you must know that Luna wouldn’t be interested in your ex–boyfriend. Although it’s said that birds of the same feather flock together, I believe there’s a fundamental difference between you and your ex–boyfriend. Your ex- boyfriend loves to fantasize about other guys stealing his girlfriend, while you like to imagine other women stealing your boyfriend. Your boyfriend is the one with the issues. You’re definitely fine.”

Anais was stunned for quite some time. Eventually, her emotions crumbled, and she broke down into.

tears.

“Oh dear, why are you crying? Wasn’t I speaking up for you? Is your brain too full of water and overflowing? Besides, Luna is the one who should be crying! She tried to help but ended up being maliciously gossiped about for no reason. She’s innocent,” Isabella continued with her cutting remarks.

The trio of researchers were all bewildered. The two men were unable to hold back and burst into squeals, “Ms. Jeannet, your words are really… straightforward,” the female researcher awkwardly tried to case the tension, lest they attract a crowd.

Isabella innocently shrugged.

“Some things need to be said outright. It’s not good to leave any thorns in your heart. You guys are familiar with each other and feel embarrassed to say it As an outsider, I don’t mind.”

Dealing with such people couldn’t involve beating around the bush, and private handling was even less acceptable. She had to confront Anais‘ self–righteous fantasies head–on, making her face her absurd ideas. She couldn’t let Anais come up with all sorts of excuses to indulge in her own fantasies again, creating imaginary enemies just to highlight their love.

She felt was capable of such things.

T “Luna, just to be safe, maybe you should state your stance more firmly,” Isabella suggested.

Luna frowned Luna’s straightforward statement was a direct slag in Annis‘ face Suddenly pushed to her limit, Anais erupted in anger. Is it really necessary for everyone to gang up on me just because Zeke had misunderstood and I had doubts Luna a prominent young lady, but am I lowly? Why did they chastise and humiliate me like this?

1/4 “Luna, this is all just a misunderstanding. We can just clear things up. Why do you have to be so aggressive and let outsiders humiliate me like this? Aren’t we friends?”

“Not anymore. I won’t be friends with people who offend me.” Luna didn’t hesitate. Since restarting her life, she had prioritized loving herself above all . She wouldn’t compromise for anyone anymore.

The expression on Anais‘ face froze instantly. In the end. she ran off crying.

She probably hadn’t expected that this one incident would end their friendship so definitively.

The others felt awkward.

“Although Anais went too far, we’re still a team. How do we move forward from here?” someone pondered.

“Is she irreplaceable in your research project?” Christopher asked.

“Not really, she’s basically just our assistant.”

“Then kick her out,” Christopher said coldly. “Keeping such a person around will only bring you trouble.”

“This Everyone felt torn. After all, they had been together for a long time.

Christopher had made up his mind anyway. As an investor, couldn’t he decide on an optional person?

He couldn’t stomach keeping such a person around to annoy Luna.

Christopher invisibly found the correct way as a capitalist.

He decided to talk to their professor immediately and also hinted if they could do the research project in the country.

Under Christopher’s urging, the others contacted the professor. The professor had been resting in the hotel room after a long day.

Out of respect, Christopher planned to visit the professor again tomorrow morning.

It was already late. They walked together to another building.

Halfway there, they unexpectedly encountered Anais and Zeke arguing.

They were too far away to hear clearly, but it seemed Anais shouted, “Because of your reckless words, Luna cut ties with me. How can I stay on the team in the future? They’re right. You’re an obsessed person. You want to monopolize me and leave me isolated! We’re done, completely over!”

After saying , Anais ran away crying. She didn’t notice the others.

When Zeke chased after her, he happened to encounter them His bloodshot eyes scanned them fiercely, lingering momentarily on Luna.

Christopher instantly provoked by that look and was about to charge forward, but Zeke turned and ran away, denying Christopher the chance.

2/4 Chapter 32 An Easy Mark “Be careful these days. I think that kid is dangerous.” Christopher frowned.

“Actually, if it weren’t for Anais, we wouldn’t even have the chance to interact with him our research projects,” someone complained.

“Let’s go.” Luna didn’t want to bother with other people’s affairs anymore and took the lead into the elevator.

After everyone got in together, the person who pressed the elevator button asked, “Which floor are you staying ?”

Christopher directly replied, “Seventeenth floor!”

Others were surprised. “What a coincidence?!”

But Luna frowned at Christopher, her eyes showing resistance.

Christopher felt guilty. Naturally, he had investigated before he came. But he nodded insistently. “Yes, it just happened to be the only floor left with rooms.”

Others asked Isabella. Isabella hesitated for a moment, about to answer, but then heard Christopher say, “Same for her.”

Christopher did have a bit of a strategy in mind. If he could bring Isabella into the picture, perhaps Luna’s resistance toward him wouldn’t be as straightforward.

Everyone was amazed at the coincidence.

Isabella didn’t say anything but raised an eyebrow at Christopher.

Probably afraid Isabella wouldn’t cooperate and might retort him on the spot, Christopher immediately took out his phone and said, “Bella, Hayden told now that your room had a little problem. You’ve been temporarily moved to the seventeenth floor as

After saying that, he pressed his phone screen against Isabella’s face.

It showed successful transfer of half a million!

After all, Alexander that Isabella had a love for money. This weakness should be enough to make her cooperate.

Actually, what Alexander meant was that Isabella loved money. To show gratitude to her, a simple monetary gift would suffice.

Sure enough, Isabella , “What a coincidence, I’m also staying on the seventeenth floor. I didn’t expect you guys to be on this floor . We’re all acquaintances here. How about we grab supper together later?

Christopher had just let out a sigh of relief when he heard Isabella’s sly laughter.

What an easy mark! I was planning to say I’m staying on the seventeenth floor, If I don’t get to see him groveling for forgiveness, I won’t be able to sleep at night. Isn’t this hitting two birds with one stone?

Christopher inhaled sharply and swallowed mouthful of blood. How could he forget Isabella’s nature of Chapter 22 An Easy Mark lowing no join in the fan!
