At this point, Cecilia gave a cruel smile and turned to Eric, saying, “In truth, those two life–saving
favors were just a ploy by the mother and son to pave the way for you to adopt me. It was all a
sham.”
Another truth was unveiled, causing a wave of gasps throughout the room.
Cecilia had thoroughly embarrassed Joanna and Dn.
Eric chuckled coldly. “Joanna, you’re doing great, aren’t you? I dare say I’ve done nothing to wrong
you in my life, yet you’re so ungrateful and heartless!”
Joanna knew that arguing was futile, so she timidly turned to Eric and said, “Hubby, my stomach
hurts, I’m in difort. Considering I’m carrying our child at this age for you, please don’t treat me
like this. You shouldn’t… just because I’ve shown a little more care for others‘ children due to past
affections…”
“Ha, Ma’am, you really have no shame. Carrying my father’s child and using it to threaten Mr. Eric,
you’re truly something.”
Cecilia’s words utterly devastated Joanna. She yelled, “You’re talking nonsense! How dare you
nder with such a matter, after all the kindness I’ve shown you before, you’re nothing but an
ungrateful wretch.”
Joanna was extremely secretive about her affairs, always keeping them hidden from Cecilia.
Therefore, she didn’t believe Cecilia could possibly know, and assumed she was merely making
wild guesses. As long as she stayed firm, she believed the other party wouldn’t dare to nder her!
“Heh, you thought you hid it well, didn’t you? My dad has been sneaking around with you since he
visited half a year ago. The house you gave my dad? I had cameras installed there. I saw you two,
at your age, entwined on the living room couch. It honestly disgusted me. Remember when you told
my dad that you were carrying his child? You said that since Mr. Eric was away on business, you
needed him toe back right away to register the baby. That way, once I became your adopted
daughter and my brother your son- inw, we would have a little brother as the heir. Then,
everything of the Quirk family would be yours. You two could be together forever, without anyone
tearing you apart.”
Cecilia revealed all her secrets, then turned to look at Eric and said, “These secrets, they’re enough
to protect me, right? If you need proof, I have video backups as well.”
“No, no, Hubby, don’t listen to this vile woman’s nonsense, I didn’t…” Joanna waspletely
flustered, frantically trying to exin.
The onlookers were already looking at Joanna with utter disdain. They never thought this woman
could be so shameless. Fortunately, her true colors were revealed. Otherwise, Eric and Janice
would have been the innocent victims, manipted from start to finish.
Joanna, who belonged to the Larson family, had relocated overseas many years ago. The ones
attending the birthday feast that day were distant rtives. Seeing the situation unfold, they were
too frightened to step forward. Instead, they discreetly reached out to the Larson family to exin
the circumstances.
Janice had long since crumbled, leaning heavily on Rosalie. Despite having told herself not to care
about
this mother of hers, the truths she had learned were more explosive than thest. The shock she
experienced that day was enough to make her start questioning her life.
The other members of the Quirk family were naturally filled with righteous indignation. They never
expected Eric to be yed like this..

Previously, Sarah, who had almost been tricked in the same way, was so infuriated that she
stepped forward to fiercely berate them.

Isabe and Alexander were nowpletely on the sidelines, simply watching the drama unfold.
After all, Cecilia was going all out, leaving absolutely no room for them to step in.
Cecilia is truly fierce, even more so than my own system. It seems she has harbored resentment
from a young age. Despite living a life that appears to be free of worries about food and clothing,
she has been abandoned, used, and repeatedly relegated to second ce. No wonder she is so
twisted. In her eyes, I suppose neither familial love nor romantic love can be relied upon.
Observing those people weeping bitterly, a sense of satisfaction filled Cecilia’s eyes, yet a trace of
confusion was also revealed.
When Isabe looked at Eric and the others, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Perhaps, within the realm of the elite, the Quirk family is indeed an exception. Each member is
kind–hearted, never using their power to oppress others, and their upbringing is impable.
However, their gentleness gives others the illusion that they are easy to deceive and manipte.
Some viins are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They believe that even if they
offend the Quirk family, the worst that could happen wouldn’t be fatal. Hence, they dare to scheme
against the Quirk family, thinking that taking the risk once might get them whatever they want.
The Quirk family felt awkward when they heard her thoughts.
