Chapter 23 Cannot Carry On Anymore 

“Rebellious girl, what are you insinuating? You’ve lost your mind!” Henry was livid. He rushed forward, raising his hand as if to slap Luna. 

However, Luna deftly sidestepped, causing Henry, due to his excessive force, to almost stumble out. 

By the time the stumbling Henry had regained his balance, he pointed at Luna, his hand shaking with 

anger. 

“She’s your sister! How could 

you 

believe it, clutching Bianca light trouble and then shift the blame onto her?” Marjorie could hardly 

as if she feared that Luna would harm her precious daughter. 

Tsk. tsk tsk. such favoritism. It’s just too blatant. When those scandalous photos surfaced, Henry and Marjorie only looked at Luna with disdain. They even subtly blamed her for not listening to them and bringing trouble upon herself. But when they found out it was actually Branca in the photos their reaction… well, that’s what you’d expect from real parents, right? If it weren’t for the fact they share the same face. I’d seriously doubt if Luna was really their biological 

Upon hearing Isabella’s inner thoughts, the Quirks also shook their heads in unison. The disparity in the way Henry and Marjorie treated their daughters was just too apparent 

It was simply unbearable, one child treated as the apple of their eye, while the other stepped on like a worthless pebble. How could parents behave in such a manner? 

Luna had long since become numb to such situations, merely watching her parents‘ hysterics with an impassive expression.. 

Looking at Luna’s expression, it’s clear that she’s used to this. It seems that Henry and Marjorie often act this way, as if they have no intention of using their brains, reserving it instead as a family heirloom for Bianca. This is so funny. Howe could someone favored by their parents ever be harmed? It is always those overlooked by their parents who end up getting hurt. 

Hearing Isabella’s thoughts, the Quirks secretly nodded in agreement. 

Christopher found himself reminiscing about the past. 

Many times, what was seen was always the same scene. 

Luna stood off to the side, her expression icy and stern Bianca, her eyes red and teary, was crying pitifully Henry and Marjorie shielded Bianca, furiously scolding Luna for being cruel and mean to her own sister. 

It seemed as though Henry and Marjorie had never before taken Luna’s side. 

How could someone who was favored by their parents possibly feel the need to compromise? 

However, in the past, Christopher merely perceived that Luna harbored resentment toward Bianca because the favoritism had not been bestowed upon her. 

Christopher felt somewhat dazed. All his past memories seemed to have lost their authenticity. 

Luna looked at Bianca, her voice cold as she asked, “Bianca, who did you say the person is?”

Bianca shrank back, helpless and trembling, into her mother’s embrace. Despite her frailty, she managed to exude an air of aggrieved innocence. “Luna, what on earth are you talking about?” she asked, her voice firm. 

“Just as I thought, you’re beyond redemption,” Luna said with a cold laugh. 

When Luna spoke of their precious daughter in such a way, Henry and Marjorie were so infuriated they were practically gasping for breath. They incessantly cursed their misfortune and lamented her unbearable defiance. 

Thomas stormed forward, his anger palpable. “Luna,” he spat out, “It seems you u won’t learn your lesson until it’s too late. Fine, I’ll make sure you give up!” 

He let out a cold chuckle, then finally tapped on his phone once more. 

The intimate photo projected on the screen faded away, replaced by various images of hospital visits. The photos kept changing until they finally settled on an abortion consent form. 

Name: Lana Cowell 

“You carried my child! But you went behind my back and escaping for you today!” 

I got rid of it! Luna, you owe me, so there’s no 

At this point, Luna couldn’t help but widen her eyes, immediately casting a look of disbelief toward Bianca. 

Bianca was trembling all over, a clear indication of fear from having her secret exposed. Yet, she quickly regained her composure. 

The pallor on Christopher’s face had reached a new extreme. 

He stared intently at the piece of paper. His world would be rocked to its core, regardless of who was pregnant and seeking an abortion. 

Finally. The cat’s let out of the bag. 

Isabella almost burst into laughter. 

The Quirks finally understood. This was the gossip Isabella had mentioned, and indeed… it could be considered as evidence. Now, it was a matter of whether certain people had the courage to verify it. 

The buzz of discussions throughout the room easily overshadowed the fleeting moment of unease that had passed over Bianca. 

“Ah, I think I know who you’re talking about. She was my senior in college. There were rumors flying around about her having a complicated love life. There was even a photo circulating on the campus. website of her supposedly getting an abortion.” 

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts instantly faltered. 

“So, it seems like it’s true then? I didn’t expect her to be so stubborn. She still won’t admit it!” 

“If you ask me, what’s so bad about marrying Thomas? They were even close to having a child together.”

“Didn’t you mention she had a messy sexual life? There could be more than one involved!” 

Thomas thought he had won, smugly reaching out to grab Luna’s arm. 

Luna took a step back, turning to look at the person who claimed to be her junior. “You should know,” she said, “if the posts were spreading rumors, only then would our school’s forum delete them. Why didn’t you mention this? Those posts have long been deleted, and the people who posted them have been silenced.” 

Thomas suddenly choked up, bowing his head in embarrassment. 

What else could it be? He pursued you, but you rejected him. That’s just how some men are. If they can’t have you, they seek opportunities to ruin you. He was probably the one who was most active under those posts. What a joker. 

Isabella’s sarcastic thoughts caused the Quirks to look over. They wanted to identify which family this person belonged to. Such a distasteful individual, they thought, should be avoided in future interactions. 

Instinctively, Christopher glanced over, etching that face into his memory. His gaze flashed with a harsh intensity. 

Thomas suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. 

Luna, however, couldn’t be bothered with such people. She calmly said to Thomas, “I’ll repeat what I said before. How can you prove it was me? It’s quite simple to impersonate me when there’s an identical face, 

no?” 

“Even now, you still won’t admit it?” Thomas was so exasperated that he could only laugh. 

Even 

more upset than Thomas were Henry and Marjorie. 

“You were pregnant, yet you committed such a vile act, and you even tried to pin it on your sister?” Henry was already seething with rage. 

“What a disaster! How could I have given birth to such a shameless daughter! Luna, if you continue to be so stubborn, we will disown you!” Marjorie warned with a heavy heart. 

It seemed as though they hoped this would ward off his rebellious daughter, preventing her from going off the rails again. 

Luna scoffed. “I stopped wanting to be your daughter a long time ago.” 

A single sentence left Henry and Marjorie frozen on the spot. 

“What…what did you say?” 

“You’re unbelievable! You’ve completely crossed the ling, acting without any regard for rules or consequences. 

Luna finally allowed resentment to creep into her tone “What’s so great about being your daughter? You can’t even recognize her from a photo. And why are you so surprised? Have you never had any doubts? It’s one thing for others not to know, but from childhood till now, hasn’t she done enough under my name? Is this one more thing really so surprising?” 

Henry and Marjorie were taken aback. It was as if they had finally regained their memory due to Luna’s reminder, and their expressions suddenly became strange.

They were worried that Luna might inadvertently reveal something, so they planned to subtly change the subject. 

But this time, Luna 

idn’t give them a chance. 

“My grandmother was seriously ill. so I went to the church to pray for her. I prayed sincerely, but when I turned around, the media was all over it, claiming that it was Bianca who did it. In reality, my sister hadn’t even stayed in our grandmother’s sickroom. She was only in the hospital because she overindulged in ice cream at home” 

The onlookers were taken aback, wondering what was going on. Wasn’t this good deed supposed to be 

Bianca’s work? 

Initially, the news had widely reported about a frail young lady who fainted and was hospitalized while praying fervently for her grandmother’s wellbeing. Her act of filial piety was highly praised by everyone. Upon her return to her home country, her reputation skyrocketed among the socialites. 

The sister who was raised by the grandmother, however, remained silent, leaving everyone speechless. 

Whenever they encountered Henry and Marjorie, this topic often came up in their conversations. They had never heard Henry and Marjorie deny it 

Christopher remembered he had made a special visit to Bianca back then. Bianca, with a bright smile on her face, had insisted that it was all part of her duty. 

That was a significant moment where his heart fluttered. 

Now, they’re telling me that it was Luna who did all that? 

“Back then, you told me not to bother arguing when the media misunderstood, saying it was all done out of sincere filial piety, and that striving for fame would only bring unrest, Luna said with a touch of self- mockery. “I wanted to ask, did you truly believe that, or were you just trying to use my hard work to add luster to my sister’s reputation? It’s clear that you couldn’t bear to see her suffer at all, yet you insisted on giving her a good name” 

Henry and Marjorie’s faces turned pale, and Bianca’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to fathom that Luna would bring up past grievances. 

“What… What nonsense are you talking about? Everything was for your grandmother’s sake. It wouldn’t matter which one of you sisters did it. Your sister is not in good health. Otherwise, wouldn’t she have done it? You only took on the task because you’re healthier,” Henry said, suddenly flustered and angry. 

“So you’re this petty, did you only pray for your grandmother’s blessings to put on a show?” Marjorie immediately raised her voice in response.

Good grief, how could such twisted logic even be voiced? Regardless of whether it was for show or sincere, it was all Luna’s accomplishment. For others to reap her fruits, it’s a wander how Luna could tolerate it. I think because Old Mrs. Cowell health deteriorated later on. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let Luna suffer so much in the Cowell family. 

For the first time, the Quirks family including the onlookers, clearly saw how the Cowells were biased and unjust. Consequently, many started to align with Isabella’s perspective. 

“Isn’t this just ridiculous? I worked so hard on this, and it’s fine if no one praises or acknowledges my effort, but it’s not right for someone else to steal the credit.”

However, Henry and Marjorie remained defiant, feeling that Luna was being overly particular. 

Luna then asked, “So, you admit that Bianca took my place?” 

Everyone snapped back to reality, wondering, could this be considered a prior offense? 

Henry and Marjorie, however, asserted, “That wasn’t intentionally done by Bianca at all. It was an accident…”

“So, what about the car accident she caused? She hit a child, leaving him slightly disabled. Even though the other party was willing to settle, she feared that it would tarnish her reputation once she became famous. So, during the investigation, she pretended to be me and used my name. Afterward. Bianca played the part of being emotionally distraught to shut me up, making me feel sorry for her, convincing me that she had only misused my name out of fear. Now that I think about it, she was just pretending. And you all didn’t say anything, only reminding me not to let the cat out of the bag. You promised to take care of the child’s situation afterward, but in the end, you all forgot: Bianca also forgot. The child’s parents came directly to me, and in the end, I was the one who had to sort things out.” 

Once again, the crowd was taken aback. This was one of the unfavorable rumors about Luna. So, was in true that she had been a scapegoat? 

The color of Christopher’s face changed instantly. 

Because of that incident, he had publicly criticized Luna. The car accident might have been an accident, but failing make amends afterward was a matter of character. 

FID 

That was the turning point when he began to despise Luna. 

At that time, it seemed as if Luna wanted to say something, but he was led away by Bianca. The only thing. he noticed before leaving was Luna’s eyes welling up with tears momentarily. 

Christopher clenched his teeth hard. Is this… also a liet 

“No… Luna, why did you have to…” Bianca finally panicked and began to sob uncontrollably. 

Upon seeing Bianca in such a state, Henry and Marjorie immediately grew concerned. They were worried. that their daughter couldn’t bear it and promptly wanted to pressure Luna into changing her statement. 

As a result, Luna straightforwardly said, “Do I need to present evidence? That day, I attended an academic conference.” 

Henry and Marjorie were rendered speechless, staring in astonishment at Luna who was acting recklessly. 

Bianca hadn’t anticipated that Luna could actually go this far. Hadn’t she always been tight–lipped in the past? No matter how much Bianca bullied her, it was always Luna who conceded in the end. After all, for Luna, the most important thing was the approval of he parents and the reliance of her younger sister. 

But it seemed as though Luna had given up on everything now. Was she so determined to expose the truth, regardless of the consequences? 

Before Bianca could panic, Luna let out a breath, as if trying to rid herself of all the shackles that bound

“I was the one who represented the Cowell family in disaster relief and charity work, but it was your name that was credited. At the Centurion Music Contest, you went to great lengths to secure a spot, only to deliberately injure yourself before the contest upon realizing your own lack of skills, forcing me to take your place. Having offended the Cowell family’s business partner, you knew you had stirred up trouble. You also used my name, causing all of the Cowell family’s relatives to blame me for the massive loss incurred. They stripped me of my rights to inherit any shares. After I left, you continued to impersonate me at school from time to time. You messed up my relationships with my friends, mentors, and classmates, causing my reputation at school to be in shambles. 

Everyone was rendered speechless by the revelation. 

Luna finished explaining everything in one breath. Seeing Bianca’s tear–streaked face, she knew she wast once again trying to salvage everything with her tears. Unable to help herself, she asked, “Where have I wronged you, that you treat me this way? My glory you snatch, your burdens I carry, but should I also bear this? I’m sorry, I can’t carry on anymore! I don’t want to anymore!
