+5 Pearls
At that moment, Cecilia was already in a state of panic. After all, if Eric heard such a colossal lie, it might expose her intention to replace his daughter. This could potentially jeopardize her chances of joining the Quirk family. Therefore, she could only force a simile, attempting to smooth over the situation.
Yet, from the moment Eric got ahold of the microphone, the situation began to steadily spiral out of control.
Eric’s hand, which was clutching the microphone, trembled slightly with anger, but he maintained a perfect facade on the surface.
He first turned to Cecilia and asked, “Excuse me, miss, but who might you be?”
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if multiple bolts of lightning had startled the entire auditorium
Everyone let out a sound of surprise.
For a moment, the crowd murmured.
Upon hearing this, Dylan’s face immediately contorted in distress. “Dad, what are you saying!” he exclaimed, all the while desperately shooting his father pleading glances, hoping he would preserve their dignity.
Eric, however, continued to say, “Why did my son refer to you as his sister? I don’t know you. When did our Quirk family acquire an additional daughter that I’m unaware of?”
All eyes were focused on Cecilia, making her feel as uncomfortable as if she were being roasted over a fire.
In an instant, her eyes were filled with genuine tears. This time, it wasn’t an act.
The emcee was taken aback as he truly hadn’t anticipated so many twists and turns at a single lecture.
Was Cecilia not Dylan’s sister? Then why on earth did Dylan ask him to do such a thing before!
The poor emcee had been so consumed with preparations for the show that he had had no time to catch up with the outside world.
In that moment, he instinctively asked, “Mr. Eric, isn’t Cecilia your daughter?”
Eric scoffed, “What? Could I possibly mistake my own daughter? Dylan, tell me, who is she? Why do you claim she’s your only precious little sister? Have you forgotten what your own sister looks like? If you’re losing your mind, you should seek psychiatric help.”
Who would’ve thought Eric could be so sharp–tongued? Isabelle thought with a mental laugh.
Christopher and Rosalie also burst out laughing.
Carlos also joined in the laughter, saying. “Seek psychiatric help? He’s not wrong. Only a madman could pull off something like this.”
Janice continued to stare blankly at her father on stage, for the first time feeling as though she had an umbrella shielding her from the storm overhead.

Chapter 416 Who Is Your Daughter
Meanwhile, Dylan was completely dumbfounded, even feeling wronged. He couldn’t help but incredulously ask. “Dad?”

Even though he knew his father would be furious, he didn’t expect Erie to publicly expose him without any mercy, hitting him where it hurt. His entire face was burning with pain now, as if he had been slapped
countless times.
He had always been proud and arrogant, a distinguished graduate from this school and a legend among his juniors.
Now, his father had suggested he seek psychiatric help right in front of his admirers. What kind of negative message was that sending? He didn’t even dare to imagine what the online chatter about him would be afterward.
Dad is being way too harsh! How could he do such a thing?
“Dad, stop joking around out of spite.” Dylan desperately tried to salvage his shattered pride.
“As my son and an employee at Quirk Group. I hope you can be future. You must not speak nonsense.” Eric responded.
