Chapter 409 A Slap In The Face
This statement was essentially a slap in Eric's face.
Christopher and Rosalie, however, couldn't help chuckling. +5 Pearls
Eric deserved the scolding he got, even though it came from someone younger than him. Just look at the son he raised and the mess he's made
Eric still clung to the hope that Dylan might find a place working under Alexander, but that hope had been shattered. Dylan's actions had led to his expulsion from the Quirk family's power center. It was now likely that Alexander would prefer to mentor a more distant relative rather than this close cousin who had caused such trouble.
Right then, it was break time for Quirk Group's branch company.
All the others Quirks were present in the lounge except for Christopher, and Eric remained completely still since he received th
phone call.
Carlos' had never been this agitated, not even for his own matters. Almost everyone heard his words in the lounge.
Naturally, Alexander had already learned about the incident through the conversation with Isabella.
He hadn't expected these jerks to actually play Janice like a fiddle.
He watched the video sent by Isabella and said, "Even though they'd been punished, they can't be forgiven so easily. They had been bullying Janice for a year and caused her trauma." Alexander lifted his gaze to observe Eric, who wore a grim expression and was clearly upset.
He replied to Isabella: Don't worry. I'll let Uncle Eric handle it.
Isabella: Are you sure he'll handle it?
Alexander: He will.
Right then, Eric appeared calm, but it the calm before the storm. Naturally, his anger was not due to Carlos' rudeness. Rather, it was the shocking news he had just heard that had enraged him. Even though Dylan was his son, Eric surprisingly chose to believe Carlos' words.
After listening to Carlos' complaint, Eric finally spoke, expressing concern for Janice's wellbeing. "How is Janice doing now?"
Carlos paused for a moment before saying, "Isabella and the others are with her. She'll be fine, I think. She broke up with Cody and faced the bullies bravely."
Eric exhaled in relief. "Thank you. Don't worry, I won't let my daughter suffer anymore."
He didn't try to argue and shift the blame by saying he didn't know anything since Janice never mentioned
1. it.
He understood that he had failed as a father by not noticing his daughter's distress and not asking if she

Since when did Dylan become a jerk who has no sense of right and wrong?

He had wanted to talk to Janice, but knowing the latter was still recovering from the trauma, he dialed. Dylan's number instead.
In the lounge, Sarah and Felix and his family were present. They exchanged glances curiously but didn't dare ask any questions.
Dylan quickly answered the phone.
"Dad, perfect timing. I want to tell you that- Dylan was about to complain when his dad's cold voice cut him short
"Answer me. Did you tell Janice not to reveal her identity at school and even publicly claim that Cecilia was your sister! You lied to everyone about their identities and bullied Janice? Did you ask for my permission before getting a new sister?" Eric had always been composed, and that was the first time he yelled at his son.
Felix whispered to his kids, "It's rare to see Eric this angry." Everyone was shocked.
Sarah couldn't help asking her brother what was going on, while Eula and Jake, having hung out with Isabella and the others, couldn't contain their curiosity and asked in the group as well.
Christopher and Rosalie were free enough to tell them what foolish things Dylan had done.
On the other hand, Dylan didn't consider himself foolish at all. Even when his father questioned him, he didn't feel guilty at all. In fact, his anger intensified.
"What's wrong with that? She slapped Cecilia and had the audacity to play the victim? Does she think she can bully Cecilia just because I bought Cecilia a similar bracelet and caused a misunderstanding, leading the other students to pick on her? Dad, look at her. She had the audacity to bully Cecilia when her identity was concealed. Who knows how she'll throw her weight around if her identity is publicized? I only asked her to hide her identity to discipline her!"
