    Chapter 423 Investigating Joanna.


    +5 Pearls


    After all, Joanna had never really had a direct confrontation with Janice, so Eric still held some hope


    that Joanna wouldn’t be as stubborn as Dn. After all, Janice was her own flesh and blood.


    Although Janice had given up on Dn, she hadn’tpletely lost hope on Joanna.


    Janice nodded. “I want to go back and see Mom’s attitude. If she still doesn’t approve of me, I don’t


    want to put you in a difficult position, Dad. In the future. I n to live in the Quirk estate, Grandpa


    has already agreed to it


    Despite his stoic nature, Eric’s eyes instantly welled up with tears. Yet, he didn’t bother to justify


    himself to


    other.


    Although Eric loved Joanna, he also cherished Janice. If Joanna truly refused to change her ways,


    he wouldn’t hesitate to divorce her. From then on, Dn would stay with his wife while Eric would


    personally take care of Janice

    When Joanna celebrated her birthday, the rest of the Quirk family naturally attended.


    Eric had a word with Alexander, exining that although the guest list for the birthday banquet was


    limited, many were undoubtedly there for Alexander primarily.


    Alexander indicated that he understood, but he noticed that Eric seemed rather expectant.


    Alexander wasn’t the type to avoid disturbing others just because they seemed happy.


    In case a conflict arose, he hoped Eric would remain impartial. Hence, heid out everything he


    had discovered so far for Eric to see.


    Naturally, he wasn’t foolish enough to admit that he was investigating Joanna

    Chapter 423 Investigating Joanna


    +5 Pearls


    Looking back, the strong bond between Dn and Cecilia probably stemmed from their childhood


    connection.


    Upon seeing the information, Eric frowned.


    Joanna was indeed actively engaged in charitable work. The records were meticulously detailed,


    and the amounts were substantial. However, upon scrutinizing the flow of funds, he discovered that


    almost all of the money ended up in Cecilia’s personal ount.


    If things had always been this way, Cecilia would have been wealthy for years. She wouldn’t have


    cared a bit about her house.


    However, Cecilia didn’t have much money, as the funds in her ount were regrly transferred to


    another ount after a certain period of time.


    While the name on the ount was unfamiliar, the origin of the person was quite clear.


    It was another city.


    Eric was particrly sensitive about that city because Joanna’s ex–boyfriend before she married


    him was from that city.


    Even before Eric’s and Joanna’s families met, Joanna and her ex–boyfriend had already parted


    ways. The man had long since left Yrinas, and Joanna didn’t show any signs of being forced into


    marriage. So, despite knowing this piece of information, he never harbored any doubts.


    However, with the current coincidence, he couldn’t help but grow suspicious.


    To suggest that Cecilia had done things in secret would be impossible. After all, the money was


    voluntarily given by Joanna.


    Since Alexander certainly found it inappropriate to investigate Joanna’s finances, Eric had to take


    matters into his own hands to get to the bottom of things. He needed to see just how the manager,


    who was specifically assigned to assist Joanna in managing her finances, was handling her


    charitable ounts. Eric’s pride prevented him from overthinking before he could ascertain the full


    situation.


    All he could do was ept the information given by Alexander, express his gratitude, and depart.


    After Alexander emerged, he saw that both Isabe and his siblings were brimming with


    excitement.


    Among them, only Isabe had yet to meet Joanna up until that point.


    Isabe initially felt that Joanna certainly had a lot of secrets.


    However, Alexander and his family had a hunch that this birthday banquet would be quite the


    spectacle. After all, when Isabe met Joanna, sparks were bound to fly. The title of Gossip Queen


    was not earned


    without reason!
