Playing 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 Isabella and Alexander came to an end, leaving the room in deafening silence. A flicker of panic flashed across the faces of Joanna, Cecilia, and Dylan, only to be quickly replaced 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. 

Isabella 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’t comprehend it.” 

“Who knows? Her motive is so obvious that it’s impossible not to invite speculation.” 

“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 Dylan 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 speculations 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 Dylan

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 Dylan?”
