Chapter 713
Granny Atherton's eyes flickered suspiciously with a hint of disbelief.
She sat upright in the main seat as her sight hovered on Quinn. Then, her gaze shifted from Quinn to Eugene.
She had taken a good look at the report and had an expert examine it. The DNA comparison test showed that Quinn was indeed the one they were looking for.
Granny Atherton waved at Quinn, signaling her to come forward.
Quinn did as she wished. "Grandma?"
"Oh, thank God. Come here, my sweet child." Granny Atherton held Quinn’s hand as her voice wavered in sobs, she could feel a thin layer of sweat on Quinn's palm, she then sighed emotionally and said, "You've suffered all these years. I'm truly sorry for you and your mother that I only managed to have you back by my side now."
"Please don't be! I'm already happy enough to see you again. I didn't even think that I'd be able to meet my relatives one day!" Quinn's eyes turned red when she said that, and tears slid down her eyes at the instant. It seemed to drain all the tears that she had held within her over the years.
Seeing that she admitted Quinn's identity, Eugene was elated. He found his sister's daughter, so he knew his mother would praise him for that!
Not a moment later, Granny Atherton added, "Eugene, I see how hard you've worked this time, so I decided that you'll be in charge of the project with Soul City."
"Thankyou, Mom!" Eugene shouted excitedly.
Harry, however, was dissatisfied with that decision. He immediately stood up and retorted, "Mom, how can you be so sure that Miss Weir is our relative? And about Soul city's project, I've been in charge of it for so long—"
"My dear brother, how could you say that? You and I are both mother's beloved sons. Plus, the company is owned by our family, and we shouldn't turn against each other no matter whomever mom assigned the project to," Eugene barked confidently.
Quinn wiped off the tears in her eyes and looked at Harry aggrievedly. "Uncle Harry, are you suspicious that I made all these up?"
Yes, Harry did think of that, still, he remained silent.
His mother was too hasty to admit Quinn's identity, and that annoyed him very much.
However, standing in front of the people, he could not say too much about it, so he smiled and replied, "oh, Quinny, don't get me wrong. I just wanted to be a hundred percent sure, so the people in our family will shut their mouths when you return to us in the future. Right, Eddy?"
Harry wanted Edwin to second him because he was always Granny Atherton's favorite grandchild.
Unexpectedly, Edwin swept his sight over Quinn with his narrowed eyes and then stretched his right hand out toward Quinn. " Welcome back to the Atherton family, dear cousin."
Harry went mad internally upon hearing this. He was pissed that his son could not even assess what was happening.
If Quinn was accepted into their family, knowing the old lady, she would spend all she saved to give Quinn the best wedding she could have.
In other words, she could have a chunk of the Atherton family's pie!
