Selena was speaking while Rosalie nestled against her mother's embrace. She radiated brightness and cheer, as if she had been nurtured in a world full of love. Not only Ros bor even Evian, despite her past marital struggles, had recovered well recently. Not just them, but also their cousin Sarah, and Felix's daughter, were all confident and energetic-typical young ladies of the Quirk family.
In comparison, Janice was like a different breed. If not for the resemblance, she looked like a thin, lost, and spiritless girl.
The people present began to twitch their mouths. Spoiled little princess, really? To say something harsh, Janice wouldn't even qualify as a maid beside a princess.
Evian smiled, cooperating with her mother, "Uncle Eric and Aunt Joanna must have given Janice abundant love and a sense of security, which is why they decided to adopt another child."
Love? Sense of security?
The comparison was stark. Janice was usually quiet and unnoticeable, so the rest didn't think anything was wrong as they rarely interacted with her. Now, things seemed different now. The elders gradually turned their gaze toward Eric. Their expressions were clear: You have the nerve to adopt another daughter when your own is like this?
Eric finally realized why everything felt off earlier. Adding a daughter would awkwardly displace the original one unless she was the one yearning for a sister. Otherwise, it was a delicate matter.
And my daughter... Is she like this because we hadn't raised her well?
Eric couldn't help but glance at Janice, huddled in the corner of the sofa, looking pitiful. Then he looked at the other girls who were her peers.
At this moment, Eric, who had always entrusted the upbringing of his children to his wife, couldn't help but feel a sense of uncertainty.
Wow, I get it. Mom and Evian are being sarcastic. Even without knowing the details, Janice's condition makes adopting another girl seem absurd. Looks like Uncle Eric is realizing this now. I wonder about that snake of a brother... Dylan's expression was indeed unpleasant. He clearly understood something but glared at Janice instead.
Oh, look at that! He's blaming Janice, thinking she's pretending to ruin the adoption. Is this her real brother? How can he be so malicious?
David's family almost snorted in anger.
David finally spoke to Eric. "Eric, you should think this through."
The tone alone conveyed David's disapproval of the matter.
Eric took a deep breath. "Let's drop it. I think it's inappropriate."
Alexander hadn't spoken yet, yet the tables had already turned. Furious, Dylan demanded, "Dad, you

Our family has always repaid kindness. If others find out, they'll mock us."
Eric's face darkened instantly. "Enough! There are many elders here. Have you had enough?"
Dylan was intimidated by Eric's sudden sternness. It was evident that! so he dared not speak further.

father's authority still held sway,
Hah, serves him right. Always bringing up that so-called kindness. Who knew such a despicable girl could be so selfless... Wait, what?
David's family, relieved by Eric's change of heart, tensed up again.
Could there be more to this story? Spill it!
Did Cecilia save Aunt Joanna and Dylan in her past life? Why did they go this far for her?
David's family: What? What exactly did she do?
Even Alexander was curious now.
Isabella's inner voice was filled with disdain.
Hah! A life-saving debt? What a joke. It turns out it was all staged. Aunt Joanna and Dylan faked a car accident, took some photos and videos to make it look like Cecilia was saving Aunt from a wrecked, smoking car. It was all a lie! 1.8K
