Chapter 410 Foolish Dylan
+5 Pearls
In Dylan's eyes, Janice was just a bully to Cecilia. He thought that if it weren't for him and his mother, who could keep Janice under control, she would've behaved much worse..
"Don't be fooled by her act. She keeps acting as if everyone's out to get her. That's just a show. No one would target her if she didn't do anything wrong. The fact that so many people can't stand her proves there's something wrong with her. As her brother, how can I not step in and discipline her? As for the matter of Cecilia being my sister, it won't make a difference even if I clarify everything. Cecilia will become a part of our family sooner or later. I don't see a problem in telling others she's my sister in advance. If anyone is to blame, it's Janice for insisting on comparing herself with Cecilia. Cecilia is an orphan and pitiful enough. Janice got jealous and picked on her when all I did was take extra care of her. She's clearly petty!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know that the main reason your sister was bullied was because of Cody, that brat? Everyone looked down on Janice and thought she wasn't good enough for Cody because her identity wasn't revealed! And you're the cause of all this mess, you dimwit!" Eric bellowed.

Dylan was taken aback, clearly unaware of the details, yet he still refused to believe that. "Dad, you can't possibly believe this. I heard that Janice was causing quite a stir today. She even threatened to break with Cody because he wouldn't help her. She even went so far as to slander Cecilia, who had come mediate, accusing them of having an affair. I asked Cody to look after Cecilia, and she caused a scene just because of that! She must be insane."
"You!" Infuriated by his son's foolishness, Eric almost passed out from rage. Felix hurriedly soothed him by parting his back.
"Why are you so harsh to your sister yet so kind to a stranger?" Eric couldn't help but question in confusion.
Dylan, however, asserted, "I was merely disciplining my sister, fearing she might go astray if I'm not stern enough. Besides, Cecilia isn't an outsider. Regardless of what you or Janice say, Mom and I have accepted Cecilia. We are definitely going to adopt her. Nothing will change our mind, not even if Janice pulls tricks and rallies the other members of the Quirk family against Cecilia. If any, that will only strengthen our resolve to adopt her."
Eric had once been able to keep Dylan in line, but recently, his focus had shifted toward spending more time with Alexander, leaving his son feeling neglected. This neglect fanned the flames of rebellion in Dylan's heart. With Cecilia's support and words of sympathy, Dylan began to see his father as senile. As a result, his respect for Eric eroded even further.
"You... Get your a's back home right now! I'll settle the score with you later!" Eric ran out of patience with Dylan. He didn't mind disciplining his stubborn son with violence.
Moreover, he felt that his wife might also be involved and thought he had, to return home to confront her abour i
Dylan, however, was unperturbed. After all, Cecilia was bullied, and Janice had to answer to him first.
"Dad, I don't want to argue with you either, but you're clearly biased toward Janice. I hope you'll take a moment to think it through. Is it really okay to not do anything about Janice's behavior? Our family doesn't need someone with such poor character. She'll only be a disgrace to our family. I'm done talking to you. I have other things to attend to. See you at home later tonight." Dylan hung up the phone after spouting all those nonsensical words.

Eric was so furious that he almost blacked out, and Felix hurriedly fetched him his blood pressure medication.
Eric's shoulders slumped in desolation as he muttered, "How did I end up raising a son like him? Why on earth did this happen?"
"I thought your son was raised by your wife," Felix couldn't help muttering. He never liked his sister-in-law. His wife had mentioned before that Eric's wife had a poor character and wasn't a good match for Eric. She thought Eric must've been blind to have married a woman like her, and his married life would be nothing but trouble.
Felix didn't really believe his wife, but now he saw her point.
Eric's son was raised to be rebellious, and his daughter grew up to be timid and depressed.
What a disaster!
Eric could only afford to wallow in disheartenment for a while. He had plenty of time to punish his son, and now, he had to focus on his daughter.
