Soon, on the day of the birthday banquet, apart from Lionel and Marley, arge group of people
arrived at Eric’s house, which certainly made for a grand asion.
In reality, Joanna’s previous habit of keeping a low profile had caused quite a bit of dissatisfaction.
It felt as though shecked respect for Alexander’s and Felix’s families.
However, she was of advanced maternal age, and for various reasons, no one felt it was their ce
toment. Now that the elders were willing to take the initiative to visit, it could be considered as
a sign of respect toward her. If she didn’t appreciate this, then they would have every right to cease
their visits.
Janice had apanied Rosalie all the way. After all, they were of simr age. Both delicate and
gentle young girls got along extremely well.
As Janice approached the house, she unexpectedly felt a wave of nervousness. It had been too
long since shest returned.
After getting out of the car, she saw Dn right at the entrance.
With a smile, Dn greeted everyone, effortlessly maintaining his public facade. However, upon
Janice and the others, his face momentarily stiffened. Nevertheless, he quickly managed to
squeeze out a
faint smile.
Isabe stepped out of the car, just in time to witness Dn’s change in expression.
Whoa, let me take a good look at you, kiddo. Are you behaving so well because you’re up to
something naughty? Are you nning a coup today to force Eric to adopt Cecilia on the spot?
Cecilia must be hidden away in your room Are you guys out of your minds?
Alexander’s family’s steps faltered momentarily as they knew something interesting was about to
unfold!
Upon uncovering such juicy gossip, Isabe naturally wouldn’t expose it at this moment. Even if
she drove Cecilia away now, who knew if they would plot something elseter and force Eric and
Janice toply. The best course of action was to let them have their say, allowing Eric to reject
them outright on the spot. Everyone needed to witness Eric’s decision to effectively put an end to
their delusions.
Let’s see what Uncle Eric will do. I believe he won’t let Janice down.
Alexander’s family, too, thought it best to remain observers.
However, as they passed by Dn, they didn’t bother to hide their displeasure. They were just
short of rolling their eyes at him.
Janice saw that Dn was initially nning to bypass the formalities. However, at that moment,
Eric hastily came out and greeted them cheerfully
In reality, Eric’s status didn’t require him to greet guests at the door. However, knowing in advance
that his daughter was returning, and fearing she might feel slighted, he made a point to wee
her himself.
Moreover, he was the first to wee Janice, taking the initiative to apany her in greeting the
remaining guests.

In the past, whenever guests were being entertained. Janice would always shrink into a corner of
the house. making her presence as inconspicuous as possible.
For the first time, Janice was clearly assisting in receiving guests, and she was extremely nervous.
But with her father by her side, it seemed as though she was gradually getting the hang of it.
On the other hand, Dn was continuously sending over ambiguous nces at the side.

Dn had given Janice many nces, yet he saw no sign of her taking the initiative to approach
him, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor. This unusual change really threw him off bnce.
However, he didn’t reflect on his own mistakes because of this. Instead, he grew even more irritated
with Janice, thinking that she was unreasonable. She dared to oppose him, her own brother. He felt
she really didn’t know how to appreciate his efforts.
Upon observing Eric’s attitude, Dn had already begun to harbor some doubts deep down.
Could it really be as Cecilia said, that Eric was backing Janice topete against him?
Moreover, Alexander’s and Janice’s rtionship with Eric was even stronger than his and Eric’s. If
Alexander supported Janice… the Quirk family didn’t hold the belief of favoring sons over
daughters.
Previously, Dn had never taken his seemingly useless sister seriously. However, he surprisingly
began to feel a sense of crisis now.
However, this sense of crisis was fleeting. He still looked down on Janice, confidently believing he
could belittle and underestimate her at will.
Yet, the guests attending the birthday feast had a variety of reactions. After all, they had just
partaken in this family’s affairs, and seeing Eric’s attitude, they couldn’t help but overthink.
The other members of the Quirk family were led by the butler to the garden, where they took their
ces. as the main hosts.
Upon entering, one could see a number of elegantdies gathered around a beautiful woman, who
was seated with a slight bulge in her abdomen.
The woman presented herself as gentle andposed, the embodiment of an ideal wife and
mother. However, contrary to expectations, she was a person who was biased toward her son over
her daughter.
