Today could indeed be considered a rebirth for Janice. She could finally hold her head high after washing away past humiliations.
Eric was the first to lead everyone to the finest hotel in Yrinas for a celebration with Janice.
The view from the revolving restaurant at the top of the hotel was quite impressive. Alexander had whisked his wife away for a private date. The two of them were admiring the beautiful scenery, basking in their sweet romance.
The atmosphere was just right. Under the cover of night, Isabella gazed at Alexander, feeling a stirring of desire. Just as she leaned in to steal a kiss from her husband, the sound of footsteps rang out nearby.
"Isabella, here's the latest scoop. As expected, Cecilia is stubbornly refusing to leave. That fool Dylan is even trying to help her, but the bodyguards the lawyer brought forcefully tossed them out on their behinds.
"She even pretended to faint, which led to her being escorted to the police station by the lawyer. Before she even stepped through the door, her courage faltered, and she signed the contract then and there. resulting in the loss of her house."
"Dylan was so furious that he was determined to take Cecilia home, but Uncle Eric had given a heads-up earlier, so the security guards wouldn't let Cecilia in."

"However, Aunt Joanna has already called. I reckon Uncle Eric might have a hard time when he gets back
"Uncle Eric entrusted Janice to me, wanting us to take her back to the Quirk estate. He did this out of fear that Janice might suffer if she goes back now."
At some unknown point in time, a group had gradually formed around Isabella, who had unwittingly become the hub of this gossip-loving circle. So, whenever there was any juicy news, the Quirk family would immediately rush over to share it, and the others would join in on the fun. As a result, when everyone ascended to the observation deck, they saw their family head tenderly embracing the lady of the house.
The woman already had her arms wrapped around his neck and was on her tiptoes, ready to lean in.
Everyone was rendered speechless for a moment.
"Sorry to interrupt!"
Before the others could retreat, Isabella grew excited at the news and shoved her husband aside. "What? Really? That means there's a tough battle waiting for Uncle Eric when he returns!"
Everyone cautiously glanced over, only to see Alexander with a face as black as thunder, staring at them expressionlessly.

The main issue was that Alexander's usual demeanor was too restrained, leading them to frequently disregard the need for discretion.
Once they returned to the Quirk estate, everyone gathered again to chat for a bit.
Meanwhile, Isabella was engrossed in the real-time drama unfolding.
Wow, no sooner did Dylan leave than Cody came looking for comfort.
Heh, Aunt Joanna really started her usual routine of crying, making a fuss, and threatening to take her own life. Oh my, did she upset her pregnancy? I'm not being unkind, but it's just too insincere of her to still be threatening Uncle Eric about adopting Cecilia at a time like this. Thankfully, Uncle Éric stood his ground and sent her straight to the hospital.
Dylan is still as infuriating as ever, always favoring Cecilia over Janice.... Wait a minute! It seems like he's still in the dark about the affair between Cody and Cecilia. If I could get my hands on some evidence....
Naturally, Alexander catered to his wife's whims without any conditions, considering it as his little surprise
for her.
However, the subsequent developments left Alexander unable to present those pieces of evidence for a while.
Due to the uproar caused by the speech at the campus, Dylan and Cody found themselves frequently making the entertainment headlines for a while.
However, thanks to Eric's support for his daughter, the reputation of the Quirk family remained. unaffected.
It seemed that Eric had given Dylan a good beating as well, landing the latter in the hospital and unable to return to work at the company.
Cecilia also fell seemed to fade into the background.
Everyone thought that was the end of this matter.
However, just a few days later, Eric unexpectedly announced that he was planning a birthday banquet for Joanna.
Joanna's birthday was indeed around this time. Nonetheless, due to her unstable pregnancy and the impending grand celebration of Lionel's birthday, they had decided not to hold a party for her.
Yet, Eric was now having a sudden change of heart. The reason given was, of course, to prevent outside speculation about their family's situation.
Indeed, the discord within the Quirk family did have some negative effects on their business in Yrinas. Everyone needed to maintain some level of dignity while mingling in the same social circle.
Eric had come to speak with Janice. After all, following he incident, Janice had not returned home even once, choosing to spend all her time at the Quirk estate instead.
