“Joanna!” Eric was genuinely worried, wishing he could rush over to save his wife.

Even Janice, who was standing offstage, instinctively dashed forward. Despite the distance making it impossible for her to reach Joanna in time, she still rushed over anyway. In her haste, she tripped over a step at the side, but even after falling, she continued to scramble forward. 

At that critical moment, a figure sprang from behind the potted plant closest to Joanna. With perfect timing and strength, the person managed to catch Joanna securely. 

As everyone took a closer look, they saw that it was Cecilia. 

Joanna appeared utterly terrified, her beauty marred by fear. Her eyes were red, and she remained shaken by what had happened for quite some time. 

With a look of clever concern, Cecilia continuously comforted Joanna, “It’s all right now, Mdm. Joanna.” 

“Cecilia? What are you doing here? You really saved me back there! I was so scared!” Joanna exclaimed, her eyes brimming with tears. 

“I knew it was your birthday today, Mdm. Joanna. Despite the previous misunderstanding, which caused Mr. Eric and Janice to not see me in a good light, I still wanted to come and give you a birthday gift. Thankfully, I made it just in time,” Cecilia replied. 

At this point, Eric had already made it to Joanna’s side, his expression still showing some degree of fear. He took his wife from Cecilia’s hands and asked if she was okay. 

Finally, Dylan made his appearance, pretending to have just arrived and showed concern for his mother. Nobody noticed Janice quietly getting up. It was Rosalie who stepped forward to help her to her seat. 

“Im fine. There’s no need to call a doctor. Hubby, if it wasn’t for Cecilia saving me, I probably… I know you don’t like Cecilia, but she has saved me and our child twice now. So, regardless of your and Janice’s objections, I’m going to announce it here and now,” Joanna said, her voice choked with emotion 

At that moment. Eric’s mind was in a state of chaos. Everything had happened too quickly and left him momentarily stunned. Upon hearing Joanna’s words, however, he understood her intentions and immediately forowed his brows. He wanted to voice his objection, but Joanna pushed him aside and took Cecilia’s hand. 

Addressing the crowd, she announced. “As you all have witnessed, Cecilia has saved me and my child not once, but twice. I find myself unable to repay such a deep debt of gratitude. I believe that my connection with Cecilia is destined by fate. Therefore, I hereby declare my decision to adopt Cecilia From this point on, she will be a darling daughter of the Quirk family. I will treat her as I do my other children, with equal love and care. I hope you all stand as witnesses to this.” 

The crowd erupted into a sudden commotion, and Cecilia’s palms were slick with sweat, her face adorned with an unt ontaitvable smile of ambition. Standing beside her, Dylan was brimming with joy, as if he. Cecilia, and Joanna were the only family that mattered 

Janice sat there, staring blankly at everything unfolding before her, her face devoid of any discernible emotion. As Joanna’s child, she should have been grateful to Cecilia for saving her mother. However, all She felt was an agonizing pain in her heart that left her bund a complete blank.

they felt displeased after hearing Joanna’s words. 

Equal treatment? Is she joking? 

Eric immediately intervened, attempting to put an end to this farce. “Joanna! Stop this nonsense! We haven’t even discussed this, so how could you just-
