Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 20 The Deception

"If that's the case, this would be Bianca's first time taking something that belonged to Luna"

Christopher's face subtly shifted as he covertly glanced at Luna.

Christopher and Luna were classmates back in their home country. Fate would have it that the country they visited for that ill-fated summer camp was where Bianca was receiving her treatment.

Even though Christopher was merely ten years old at the time, an arrangement between their grandmothers had already designated him as Luna's fiancé. Naturally, he was expected to meet the Cowell family.

That was Christopher's first encounter with Bianca in the hospital ward, where she exuded a charming and delicate aura, akin to a princess.

"Bianca was mesmerized by

Christopher's charm the very first time she laid eyes on him. Upon learning that he was Luna's fiancé, exclusively belonging to her sister, Bianca made a fuss and insisted on spending time with him. Jealousy can truly distort one's character! Despite receiving unconditional love and full attention from her parents, Bianca still desired to claim what belonged to Luna. She felt that without Luna, everything would have naturally been hers."

Christopher's heart skipped a beat upon hearing those words.

No. Bianca isn't a person like that. She isn't...

Back then, Bianca was indeed causing a commotion in the ward. All Christopher felt was pity for the ailing little girl, wishing someone would keep her company. Moreover, whenever he glanced at her face, which bore a striking resemblance to Luna's, Christopher could not help but feel sympathy.

But Isabella mentioned that Bianca received her parents' unconditional love and full attention. What about Luna? What does she have back then? She had me, her fiancé

At that thought, it felt as though Christopher had been metaphorically struck in the head, leaving his mind buzzing.

"Originally, Christopher and Luna were supposed to attend the event together. However, Bianca, who was in the hospital, kicked up a fuss, insisting on going with Christopher herself and not allowing her sister to attend. As the event wasn't something one could join on a whim, their parents ultimately asked Luna to forfeit her participation. Instead, they requested Bianca, he identical twin, to take her place, and asked Christopher to look after her."

Christopher's expression darkened. Back then, he had not thought much of it and had agreed to Hayden and Marjorie's request to look after Bianca without considering Luna's feelings.

He naturally assumed that Luna would give in to her younger sister. To him, it felt like she ought to do so

100. 100.

He could not recall Luna's expression back then.

The Quirk family heard that Luna willingly gave her sick sister the chance to go out and have fun. They even admired the deep bond between the sisters.
