    Joanna looked at Eric with resentment. “You’re taking things this far over such a trivial matter? All I


    w to adopt a daughter. Is that too much to ask of you?”


    “Did you not understand what I said or simply not want to hear it? Or perhaps you just don’t care


    abo what your biological daughter went through, insisting on having your way despite it all?” Eric


    counter wearily.


    Joanna’s lips quivered. “It’s you who’s insisting on having your way and being biased. Cecilia is a


    nice g


    “Aunt Joanna, you truly have a knack for being forgetful. If you want to im that stealing someone


    el boyfriend and bullying have nothing to do with her, what about the form of the medicinal diet?


    Ce personally admitted that she stole the results of Janice’s hard work, taking credit for her efforts.


    Never mind that you didn’t bother to stand up for your daughter, but you ever want to adopt


    someone with: questionable character?” Christopher derided with a coldugh.


    “You’re blind to your daughter’s grievances yet feeling sorry for an outsider. Is this what you meant


    by being impartial. Aunt Joanna?” Carlos seconded.


    “Cecilia is already an adult. I truly don’t understand what you’re thinking to insist on adopting her,


    Aun Joanna,” Rosalie couldn’t help but mutter.


    “Isn’t an adoption of age clear proof that she has her sights set on the Quirk family?” E spat


    venomously.


    Jake immediately chimed in, “Don’t blow the whistle on her! What other reason could there if not the


    Quirk family’s fortune? To acknowledge a father to support him in his old age?”


    “No, that’s not true…” Cecilia urgently denied, instantly panicked.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    With a dark expression, Joanna interjected, “Don’t spout nonsense here. I’m naturally well aware of


    Janic grievances. Cecilia wants to apologize sincerely. She just had a momentarypse of


    judgment. Who doesn’t make a single mistake in their lifetime? Must you dredge it up and act so


    petty? Besides, Cecilia doesn’t have her sights set on the Quirk family. Destiny brought our paths to


    cross, and we have been go to her, so she also wishes to reciprocate in kind.”


    It was likely the rst time the crowd truly witnessed Joanna’s.double standard, and they whispered


    amongst themselves in disbelief.


    “If that’s the case, why do you insist on going through the adoption process? Without adopting her,


    would you not like her anymore? And would she no longer be willing to be good to you?” Sarah


    asked astutely,


    The crowd of onlookers were no fools. Upon hearing that, they were greatly amused. What’s with


    Mdm. Joannat Is she determined to seek benefits for outsiders?


    1–It’s fine. Just regard it as us being destined to cross paths but not meant to be, Mdm. Joanna.


    Even if I can’t be your daughter, I’m willing to be good to you always.” With that said, Cecilia put


    on an aggrieved. look. It was as though she had been picked on by everyone.


    Joanna’s face hadpletely drained of color. Outnumbered, she could only stubbornly hold Eric’s


    gaze as if resolute and insisting that he had to make a decision.


    However, she ended up at aplete loss when Eric fly dered, “My answer remains the

    Undeniably, Cecilia could read the situation. Gritting her teeth and biting the bullet in the end, she


    immediately took Joanna’s hand and said. “Mdm. Joanna, I know you mean well, but don’t quarrel


    with Mr. Eric for my sake. There’s absolutely no need for that. It’s quite odd for me to be adopted


    and call someone else Mom and Dad at my age in the first ce, so it’s okay.”


    There’s always tomorrow, and there will always be more opportunities. I can’t allow their rtionship


    to further deteriorate now. If thingspletely fall apart now, there would no longer be a chance in


    the future.


    Dn had deted like a drenched cat earlier. But upon hearing Cecilia’s words, he was


    heartbroken. He wanted to say something, but a nce from Cecilia stopped him.


    “It’s truly fine with me.” After saying that, Cecilia politely apologized to Eric and also apologized to


    Janice for everything in the past. On the whole, there was not a single w to be found.


    Following that, many amidst the crowd pitied her. It simply seemed rather odd that she had saved


    someone yet had to apologize in the end.


    In fact, some people felt that the Quirk family had gone too far.


    you’re the one


    After taking quite some time to regte her breathing. Joanna finally said coldly, “Anyway, who


    calls the shots in this family. What say do I have? But she did save me, so we should at least


    compensate and reward her.”


    Eric did not object to that.


    Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief..


    But at just that moment, a voice rang out.


    Smiling brightly, Isabe remarked, “Uncle Eric, do prepare thank–you gifts in abundance. After all,


    she has saved your wife twice now. Who knows if there will be a third time? Just consider it an


    advance


    reward.”
