Chapter 449 Shift The Blame

Finished

On the other side, Joanna suddenly blew up and turned to Eric. “If you don’t trust me, I might as well die with the child.”

Then, she prepared to jump into the pool next to her.

This was sheer madness. As though crying and causing a scene wasn’t enough, she was now resorting to even more drastic measures.

Unfortunately for her, Eric could no longer be bothered. Instead, it was the guests who instinctively stepped in to intervene, fearing that Joanna might actually die.

Then, the woman stopped in her tracks and broke down. “Since you don’t believe me, what use is this child to me? I-”

“Is that so? Why don’t you ask the child’s father?” Eric suddenly spoke up.

Before long, two bodyguards escorted a middle–aged man in from outside.

In an instant, Joanna was left dumbstruck.

“Dad! Save me!” James cried out. “Cecilia’s lost her mind! She spilled everything!”

Cecilia huffed coldly. She no longer felt any affection for this man she called her father.

Perhaps initially, she was ignorant. She thought that her father’s willingness to take her with him after divorcing her mother was a sign of his genuine affection for her as his daughter.

As she grew older, she gradually came to understand. Her father, a habitual gambler, hadn’t taken her away for any noble reasons. He merely saw her as a valuable commodity he could use when he was out of money. He couldn’t bear to part with his precious son, but selling his daughter didn’t seem to be a problem for him.

It just so happened that he later reconnected with an old flame, causing Cecilia’s purpose to change.

The man was visibly flustered, his gaze darting between his daughter and detained son. Finally, his eyes landed on a manic–looking Joanna, and his legs began to tremble.

He was so frightened that he couldn’t even speak. Someone had forcibly broken into his house and dragged him out, yet he still didn’t dare to confront the so–called wealthy family head–on Not to mention, he had slept with Eric’s wife and was even planning to make Eric father his son.

Before Joanna could utter another word, the man turned his gaze toward Eric, who was slowly approaching him. Seeing the latter’s menacing aura, the unnamed became terrified.

“It had nothing to do with me!” he blurted. “Your wife couldn’t stand being lonely and insisted on seducing me. I was short on cash, so she used money to force me to be with her. She initiated everything!”

A shiver ran through Joanna’s body as she heard that, and a chill spread from her heart toward every corner of her being.

“W–What are you saying?” She stared at the man pitifully, looking as if she had been wronged despite her sincere feelings.

Chapter 448 Bullies Who Prey On The Weak

Finished

Previously, Sarah, who had almost been tricked in the same way, was so infuriated that she stepped forward to fiercely berate them.

Isabella and Alexander were now completely on the sidelines, simply watching the drama unfold. After all, Cecilia was going all out, leaving absolutely no room for them to step in.

Cecilia is truly fierce, even more so than my own system. It seems she has harbored resentment from a young age. Despite living a life that appears to be free of worries about food and clothing, she has been abandoned, used, and repeatedly relegated to second place. No wonder she is so twisted. In her eyes, I suppose neither familial love nor romantic love can be relied upon.

Observing those people weeping bitterly, a sense of satisfaction filled Cecilia’s eyes, yet a trace of confusion was also revealed.

When Isabella looked at Eric and the others, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Perhaps, within the realm of the elite, the Quirk family is indeed an exception. Each member is kind–hearted, never using their power to oppress others, and their upbringing is impeccable. However, their gentleness gives others the illusion that they are easy to deceive and manipulate. Some villains are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They believe that even if they offend the Quirk family, the worst that could happen wouldn’t be fatal. Hence, they dare to scheme against the Quirk family, thinking that taking the risk once might get them whatever they want.

The Quirk family felt awkward when they heard her thoughts.

Shift The Blame

Finished

The man didn’t dare meet her eyes. “I told you this was wrong. You seduced me and only wanted me as a lover! You didn’t want to get a divorce, claiming it was for your children’s sake. I told you this was immoral. I really didn’t want to do this!”

Naturally, not many believed what this man had to say. Everyone knew he was just trying to shift the

blame.

However, this made the situation even more ludicrous. A lady from a prominent family had stooped to such morally degrading actions just for him, yet she hadn’t received a shred of genuine affection in return. One could only wonder how much regret she now felt.

Everyone turned to Joanna, eagerly anticipating her reaction. To their surprise, her eyes rolled back, and she actually fainted. This time, it was not an act; she had truly passed out.

Meanwhile, the police car that had been alerted earlier finally arrived.

This farcical situation had to be put on hold for now.

It seemed as though Dylan had finally come to a realization. This time, he was no longer the defiant and rebellious person he used to be. He threw himself at Eric’s feet, his face streaming with tears of

regret. “I’m sorry, Dad. I was wrong. I had no idea she was cheating. Those two women completely misled me! Don’t let the cops take me, Dad. I’ve learned from my mistakes!”

However, Eric simply looked at him, his face devoid of any expression.

Stunned, Dylan immediately turned to Janice. “Help me, Janice. I know I was wrong now! I cared for you a lot when you were young. I just became blinded and brainwashed. We’re still family, are we not?”

Janice closed her eyes, recalling the time when her once high and mighty brother had looked this disheveled. It was precisely because he had once treated her so kindly that the days that followed became so unbearable. He had constantly made her yearn for the good old days.

“Forgiving you would be an insult to all the pain you’ve caused me. I can’t forgive you or that woman. I never will.”
