Upon hearing Isabella's string of complaints, Alexander noticed that Christopher had stopped in his tracks. He looked like he had seen a ghost. Alexander immediately understood what was going on.

Before Christopher could speak, Alexander intervened, "Chris, stay here and help me entertain the guests?

Alexander's tone was heavy. Although it was not quite a command, it instinctively drew attention away from the previous topic.

"Let me assist Bianca inside first, she's having trouble moving. Before Christopher could finish, the disruptive voice surfaced again.

Is he stupid? She has her parents and sister right there! It's not his turn to lend her a hand. Even if he is her boyfriend, there's no need for him to keep insisting. Not to mention how quokward their relationship status is right now. Alerander is clearly trying to remind him that his actions are inappropriate. Is he so in love that he can't understand it? It must be. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attacked Luna blindly just now.

Christopher was stunned by the torrent of insults hurled at him. Instantly, embarrassment and anger welled up within him. He quickly turned to Isabella and yelled angrily, "You..."

"Huh?" Isabella was puzzled.

Isabella thought Christopher was trying to greet her although his tone didn't sound too pleasant.

However, based on Isabella's memory, she indeed didn't get along with the hot-tempered Christopher.

Since young, Christopher had always admired Alexander. However, due to the Alexander's marriage. Christopher harbored strong resentment toward Isabella, who was of a similar age. Despite both working in the entertainment industry, Christopher had no intention of supporting Isabella in any way. He even refused to address her as his sister-in-law in public or private. However, Christopher had never directly confronted Isabella out of respect for his brother.

Christopher hadn't expected that Isabella would actually dare to think of him like that,

"Chris?" Bianca whispered, puzzled by his sudden halt. Since she couldn't tell that Christopher was glaring at Isabella from her point of view, she assumed that he was looking at Luna, who was standing next to Isabella. Bianca instantly felt aggrieved. Biting her lower lip, she gently shoved Christopher away and said, "Chris, you should accompany Luna. I'll be fine on my own."

Luna had kept her mouth shut, but upon hearing that, she couldn't help pointing out, "Mr. Alexander was the one who asked Mr. Christopher to stay and help him entertain the guests. Why am I being dragged into this?" Bianca was momentarily stunned. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Luna. Then, her eyes welled up

with tears as if she was overwhelmed with injustice.

When Isabella posed the question, everyone present fell silent. A strange and cerie atmosphere settled over the party, and many people began to see the simation in a new light.

Yeah, where did that suddenly come from?

It was one thing to have Christopher stay behind to entertain the quests, but surely they couldn't expect Lunarto do the same. Yet somehow, in Bianca's version of events, it had turned into Christopher keeping Company with Luma. How did that happen?
