Isabe’s words dripped with sarcasm, instantly plunging everyone into awkwardness.
ying along. Alexander countered, “How could there be a third time? Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Really? But I think it was fate. After all, Uncle Eric previously made it clear that he wouldn’t adopt
Cecilia. And today, he owed her a debt of gratitude out of nowhere, making it hard for him to
decline her adoption. But then, he still said no. Who knows, the heavens may arrange another
chance for her. If Uncle Eric were to continue insisting on not adopting her, wouldn’t he need to
prepare more thank–you gifts?”
The cheerful exchange between Isabe and Alexander came to an end, leaving the room in
deafening silence. A flicker of panic shed across the faces of Joanna, Cecilia, and Dn, only to
be quickly reced by anger born of embarrassment after having been exposed.
“What were you implying by that? You think we’re putting on an act?” Joanna’s voice instantly rose
several notches, her previously meek demeanor nowhere to be found.
Eric initially didn’t suspect anything. But when he saw such a reaction from her, his expression.
immediately darkened.
Isabe chuckled and said, “What are you talking about, Aunt Joanna? I didn’t mean it that way.
How could you think so? Surely, you couldn’t have done something so despicable and shameless
as to set up your own family. That’s why I said it was all fate.”

At that, Joanna almost couldn’t catch her breath, her mind short–circuiting in her rage. Isn’t she
essentially calling me despicable and shameless?
The whispers around them also began to drift into the air.
“I think something is amiss there.”
“Exactly. How could there be so many coincidences in the world?”
“How could she have tripped from the step? I just can’tprehend it.”
“Who knows? Her motive is so obvious that it’s impossible not to invite spection.”
“Earlier, I thought that even a vicious tiger would not car its cubs, and she would never risk the
child she’s carrying for a stranger. But seeing how she treats her daughter, I’m not so sure
anymore.”
“Who exactly is this Cecilia girl? Not only did Dn defend her, but even Mdm. Joanna seemed to
lose her mind, defending her to such an extent.”
“Could she be an illegitimate child? But she doesn’t look like it.”
As such spections gradually spiraled out of control, Eric had no choice but to step out and take
charge of the situation.
“All right, Joanna has been standing for too long and needs to rest.” Immediately after, he called the
butler over to escort his wife away.
Feeling guilty, Cecilia didn’t dare stay any longer and was dragged away by Dn

such a party wasn’t the true celebration itself.

The music started up again. Despite the buzz of gossip, everyone quickly seized the opportunity to
curry favor with the influential Quirk family.
However, Eric’s decision earlier made it abundantly clear to them that he was utterly devoted to his
daughter. He would have no qualms about cutting off anyone who threatened Janice’s interests
without hesitation, even if it was his wife or son. Therefore, it was evident that Janice’s status in the
family was immeasurable.
After Eric had ensured that everyone was settled, he immediately went to check on Janice since he
witnessed her fall earlier.
“Are you hurt? And does it hurt?” he asked in concern.
Janice smiled, but her eyes brimmed with worry. “I’m fine, Dad. But… what about Mom and
Dn?”
Eric patted her on the head and said, “Don’t worry about them anymore. They’vepletely lost
their minds. If you don’t want to live at home in the future, just stay at the Quirk estate. There’s no
need toe back. Let’s not bother about them. If they don’t change their ways, we’ll just cut them
out of our lives.
He sounded nonchnt, but in reality, he already had a n in mind because he had already
discovered some things based on the information provided by Alexander back then.
Perhaps we’d get divorced for real. If Cecilia were truly that man’s daughter, I can’t ever tolerate my
wife treating someone else’s daughter better than mine. I’ve got to speed up the investigation.
I’m not going to bother about them anymore. Since they went to such great lengths to have
someone else be their daughter and sister, it would truly be saddening if she were to harbor any
more expectations.
With that thought in mind, Janice had already begun to n. Once the party ends, I’m going to
return to my room to pack my things and promptly move out.
At that moment, everyone had already started gossiping about the incident just now. They didn’t
stop because of Eric’s presence there as Joanna’s actions had already obliterated all the affection
between them.
