Chapter 432 Eric Responds

Isabella was at her wit’s end. Previously, Joanna’s issues had been too overwhelming, leaving her no time to look into the details. She hadn’t even checked how they planned to get the Quirk family to adopt Cecilia that day. If she had known earlier, she might have been able to do something about it. However, it was impossible to foresee such things. After all, Joanna was in a vulnerable position.

What should we do now?

Isabella was somewhat agitated. Alexander, who was next to her, reached out and patted her on the back.

“Don’t panic. I believe Uncle Eric won’t make a bad decision at a time like this,” he said calmly.

Isabella looked at Alexander in surprise. “Really?”

“Even if he does, I have other ways to stop it,” Alexander replied.

Isabella instantly became curious. “What ways? This is a life–saving favor that can’t be proven otherwise,

ΠΟΡ

Alexander flashed her a faint smile. “An adopted daughter shouldn’t be involved with her brother inappropriately, should she?”

Isabella’s eyes lit up instantly. “Have you found any evidence?”

With a smile, Alexander gestured for her to just stand back and watch.

The atmosphere was akin to that of a suspenseful drama, everyone anxiously watching the unfolding events. Just when everyone thought Eric would back down, he suddenly said coldly, “Cecilia is absolutely not allowed into our Quirk family. If you insist on this, we might as well get a divorce.”

Those words struck almost everyone, apart from Alexander, like a bolt from the blue.

Wait… She’s just adopting a young girl out of gratitude for saving her life! How did it escalate to the point of divorce? This couple has been together for so many years! They’re not going through a rebellious phase now, are they?

“Dad! What are you saying? You want to divorce mom? Dylan was utterly bewildered. He had thought everything would naturally fall into place. After all, they had covered all bases, whether it was a matter of morality or threats. But what they hadn’t expected was for Eric to be so ruthlessly cold–hearted.

“Y–You…” Joanna was so startled that she could barely stand, swaying unsteadily. Tears immediately began to fall from her eyes.

In a state of utter panic, Cecilia quickly steadied Joanna After all, whether she could enter the Quirk family depended entirely on Eric’s decision.

Facing the hostility of his wife and son, Eric took the lead in the conversation by saying, “Gratitude can be repaid in other ways, but entering the Quirk family is absolutely impossible. The Quirk family will not tolerate those who harm their own kin. You seem to be delusional. Have you forgotten the incident that was exposed not too long ago? This woman, in collusion with other men, deceived our daughter, which led to her being bullied at school. She even tacitly agreed to assume our daughter’s identity, enjoying the benefits that came with it, but turned a blind eye to our daughter

being bullied, even encouraging it. What right does a person who bullies our daughter have to enter the Quirk family?”

school,eed no pushover. They were astounded when they heard that Janice was being bullied at

school. Not to mention, the shock when her own brother refused to acknowledge Janice at school, but instead claimed Cecilia as his sister.

No one would believe it if they were told that Cecilia bore no ill will toward Janice.

Upon hearing this, silent tears slid down Janice’s face. She sat there, staring blankly at her father’s retreating figure. Finally, unable to hold back her emotions any longer, she stood up and declared, “I, too, oppose Cecilia joining our family!”

“Shut up!” Dylan couldn’t snap at his father, but he certainly could with Janice. With a harsh tone, he said, “Are you ever going to stop? Will you only be satisfied by distorting the truth? The relationship between Cecilia and Cody is just a misunderstanding, yet you still won’t let it go. Your being bullied is clearly due to your own personality issues. Why do you blame everything else except-”

Before Dylan could finish his sentence, Eric abruptly splashed a glass of wine onto his face.

Dylan was stunned. It was one thing to be humiliated last time, but to be humiliated in front of his was simply too much. He really couldn’t hold himself back anymore.

“Listen to yourself! As her older brother, you should be protecting your sister, not constantly criticizing her. Have you decided you’d rather be Cecilia’s brother than Janice’s? Fine. If your mother really wants to divorce me and adopt Cecilia, you can go with her and be Cecilia’s brother instead!” Eric yelled in

frustration.

Suddenly, Dylan froze. He understood the underlying message of those words, and although he was already irate, he instinctively didn’t dare to retort.
