Sarah didn't mind and even chuckled lightly, showing concern for the elder's health.

Others found it a bit peculiar, but considering she was of advanced maternal age, they didn't feel it was their place to comment.

David's family, on the other hand, managed to enjoy some fresh gossip.

Unbelievable. Aunt Joanna and Dylan wanted to bring that two-faced woman to our family dinner, but Uncle Eric refused, so they got angry and didn't show up. Do they really think they deserve such respect? Sarah's divorce and Nina's decision to change her surname have nothing to do with outsiders. They even had the audacity to suggest bringing someone else. It's just nonsensical.

David's family looked contemptuous after hearing the truth.

Recalling the recent investigation results, Alexander remembered that Cecilia was indeed a child from the orphanage funded by Joanna. It was through this connection that Dylan had come to know her.

However, Joanna's relationship with Cecilia was far from ordinary. It wasn't just about providing for an orphan; she treated Cecilia as her adopted daughter. She cared for her incessantly, constantly sending her money. This was something Eric was oblivious to. After all, he was not one to concern himself with household matters. His focus was solely on his business.

If not for the historical context, Alexander would have suspected that Cecilia might be another illegitimate

child.

However, Alexander still insisted on prioritizing the investigation into Cecilia's biological parents. If it wasn't related to Cecilia's parents, there was no reason for Joanna to act so outrageously.

Of course, besides this, Alexander also inadvertently discovered a secret that Isabella had never delved

into.

For instance, the reason Dylan was so protective of Cecilia was because Cecilia was already his. The records of their private encounters had been compiled and handed over to Alexander.

Alexander had no interest in exposing their relationship. After all, both were openly single. However, if she intended to become the adopted daughter of the Quirk family, these records would serve as the most compelling evidence against it.

Eric asked how Janice's stay had been these past few days, implying subtly if she wanted to return home. Joanna and Dylan had suggested that he bring Janice. back with him, but he was hesitant to voice it out, preferring to hear his daughter's thoughts on it.

In the past, Janice would certainly have gone along with her family's arrangements. However, now, she lifted her head and said, "No... I'll spend more time with my cousins. It's rare for them to visit, and there are only a few days left of the holiday. Soon, I'll have to return to school, so I won't have much time to spend with them." She would rather give her time to her relatives than her family.

Eric had finally come to understand that their family had significant issues. When he found some free time, he decided he should have a serious talk with his daughter.

At that moment, her phone vibrated. She carefully took it out, fearing that she would see messages of reprimands and curses from her mother and brother.

But with just a glance, she couldn't help but let a smirk tug at the corners of her mouth.

It was her boyfriend, Cody.

As he was abroad, they hadn't been in touch for a few days until now.

The message read: What are you up to? Why are you picking on Cecilia? You're the young lady of the Quirk family. and she's just a poor orphan. Can't you stand to see her doing well? I don't like this side of you. It's not kind. You've disappointed me. I hope this is the last time something like this happens. Don't interfere with your father's decision to adopt Cecilia anymore. Go home with your father today, correct your mistakes, and together, replace a way to have the Quirk family adopt Cecilia.

Janice froze. Since she started dating Cody, there were occasional moments when he would criticize her in such a harsh tone. Those instances always left her feeling upset, leading her to introspect and question herself relentlessly. After all, her mother and brother both favored Cecilia, but only Cody had chosen her.

She felt that all she had left was Cody.

However, just as she was consumed by a desire to immediately call back and apologize, she heard laughter echoing from the living room.

"I'm the young lady of the Quirk family. There's no way Nina and I could be in the wrong. The fault must lie with them! You'll see soon enough. The PR of Quirk Group's branch office isn't to be underestimated. Just wait for the show to begin," Sarah said arrogantly. Janice was taken aback, recalling the scenes she had witnessed over the past few days.
