Isabe was at her wit’s end. Previously, Joanna’s issues had been too overwhelming, leaving her
no time to look into the details. She hadn’t even checked how they nned to get the Quirk family
to adopt Cecilia that day. If she had known earlier, she might have been able to do something about
it. However, it was impossible to foresee such things. After all, Joanna was in a vulnerable position.
What should we do now?
Isabe was somewhat agitated. Alexander, who was next to her, reached out and patted her on
the back.
“Don’t panic. I believe Uncle Eric won’t make a bad decision at a time like this,” he said calmly.
Isabe looked at Alexander in surprise. “Really?”
“Even if he does, I have other ways to stop it,” Alexander replied.
Isabe instantly became curious. “What ways? This is a life–saving favor that can’t be proven
otherwise,

Alexander shed her a faint smile. “An adopted daughter shouldn’t be involved with her brother
inappropriately, should she?”
Isabe’s eyes lit up instantly. “Have you found any evidence?”
With a smile, Alexander gestured for her to just stand back and watch.
The atmosphere was akin to that of a suspenseful drama, everyone anxiously watching the
unfolding events. Just when everyone thought Eric would back down, he suddenly said coldly,
“Cecilia is absolutely not allowed into our Quirk family. If you insist on this, we might as well get a
divorce.”
Those words struck almost everyone, apart from Alexander, like a bolt from the blue.
Wait… She’s just adopting a young girl out of gratitude for saving her life! How did it escte to the
point of divorce? This couple has been together for so many years! They’re not going through a
rebellious phase now, are they?
“Dad! What are you saying? You want to divorce mom? Dn was utterly bewildered. He had
thought everything would naturally fall into ce. After all, they had covered all bases, whether it
was a matter of morality or threats. But what they hadn’t expected was for Eric to be so ruthlessly
cold–hearted.
“Y–You…” Joanna was so startled that she could barely stand, swaying unsteadily. Tears
immediately began to fall from her eyes.
In a state of utter panic, Cecilia quickly steadied Joanna After all, whether she could enter the Quirk
family depended entirely on Eric’s decision.
Facing the hostility of his wife and son, Eric took the lead in the conversation by saying, “Gratitude
can be repaid in other ways, but entering the Quirk family is absolutely impossible. The Quirk family
will not tolerate those who harm their own kin. You seem to be delusional. Have you forgotten the
incident that was exposed not too long ago? This woman, in collusion with other men, deceived our
daughter, which led to her being bullied at school. She even tacitly agreed to assume our
daughter’s identity, enjoying the benefits that came with it, but turned a blind eye to our daughter
being bullied, even encouraging it. What right does a person who bullies our daughter have to enter
the Quirk family?”

school,eed no pushover. They were astounded when they heard that Janice was being bullied at
school. Not to mention, the shock when her own brother refused to acknowledge Janice at school,
but instead imed Cecilia as his sister.
No one would believe it if they were told that Cecilia bore no ill will toward Janice.
Upon hearing this, silent tears slid down Janice’s face. She sat there, staring nkly at her father’s
retreating figure. Finally, unable to hold back her emotions any longer, she stood up and dered,
“I, too, oppose Cecilia joining our family!”
“Shut up!” Dn couldn’t snap at his father, but he certainly could with Janice. With a harsh tone, he
said, “Are you ever going to stop? Will you only be satisfied by distorting the truth? The rtionship
between Cecilia and Cody is just a misunderstanding, yet you still won’t let it go. Your being bullied
is clearly due to your own personality issues. Why do you me everything else except-”
Before Dn could finish his sentence, Eric abruptly sshed a ss of wine onto his face.
Dn was stunned. It was one thing to be humiliatedst time, but to be humiliated in front of his
was simply too much. He really couldn’t hold himself back anymore.

“Listen to yourself! As her older brother, you should be protecting your sister, not constantly
criticizing her. Have you decided you’d rather be Cecilia’s brother than Janice’s? Fine. If your
mother really wants to divorce me and adopt Cecilia, you can go with her and be Cecilia’s brother
instead!” Eric yelled in
frustration.
Suddenly, Dn froze. He understood the underlying message of those words, and although he
was already irate, he instinctively didn’t dare to retort.
