Isabella: How could someone be so selfish? It's no wonder she was acting all weird today! So, that's what it is! I'm getting so mad thinking about it. Ugh!
As Isabella was on the verge of being tormented to death by her conscience, she was abruptly enveloped in Alexander's arms. "What's the matter? What are you overthinking?"
The woman stiffened, lifting her head and taking a deep breath. Despite the turmoil within her and how much she liked Tabitha, some matter's had to be faced with the truth. Don't scare yourself. Things might turn out well! Suddenly, Alexander interrupted her pep-talk. "Is it about Petra?" he asked. "Don't think too much about it. In any case, I'm going to look into her tomorrow. No matter what she's hiding, we'll surely find some clues." Isabella was taken aback. It was as if Alexander had made the most difficult decision for her.
He understood why she was so unsettled; this matter was indeed perplexing, after all.
If it were all true, he felt bad for Heidi. This girl was the real child of the Quirk family. As for Tabitha, he believed Hansel and Astrid would come to a decision.
Additionally, Alexander had another idea.
In truth, he found it utterly baffling. According to the information Isabella had obtained, both the mother and child were in a hospital under Quirk Group's umbrella at the time. How could such an oversight have occurred? Whatever had happened to Evian years ago was because she wasn't on their home turf.
Therefore, the circumstances of that year needed to be thoroughly investigated.
Of course, there was also the most femental step-a DNA test. It was best to get that done in advance
to avoid any mix-ups.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Isabella, but
on the incident involving the Evian the her, the Gossip System had its flaws. It had almost missed out
time. This was because while the gossip one observed about a
person was indeed based on actual events, it also contained subjective elements. Therefore, even if everyone spoke the truth, it didn't necessarily reflect the whole truth, and there would often be errors and omissions.
Hence, in reality, every instance of Isabella's gossip affairs would also involve Alexander's investigations. The combination of the two was then what led to the ultimate truth.
Despite her hesitation, Isabella still found herself wanting to give Alexander a bit of a heads-up.
The man smiled. "It's late. You should sleep. Overthinking will only give you a headache. Don't worry, I've got everything under control."
After some thought, she agreed. Despite being a part of the family through marriage, she wasn't a blood relative. Thus, it was more appropriate for someone like Alexander-a cousin-in-law and the head of the family-to uncover and handle such matters. 11:26 Sat, Oct 26

Isabella: Let's just hope the kind ones don't get hurt too deeply and that everything will be taken care of as soon as possible.
What she hadn't expected was that just as she fell asleep, an incident occurred in one of the residential buildings in Yrinas.
Upon returning home earlier, Heidi had been lectured by Petra the entire way, which left her somewhat irritable. To make matters worse, she hadn't prepared dinner, resulting in two hungry people at home. The moment they stepped through the door, tensions flared between the two parties, leading to an immediate argument. Subsequently, Heidi found herself on the receiving end of a beating.
Though she resisted, her strength was simply no match due to her being a girl. In the end, all she could do was endure the abuse. She pleaded for her mother's help, but Petra merely stood by, turning her head away in discomfort. Despite the guilt written all over her face, she remained motionless.
After Tony and Edmund were done beating her, Petra stepped forward. "I told you to behave. This is what you get for not listening."
Heidi's resentment had reached its peak. She abruptly pushed past Petra and ran back to her room, locking herself in.
At the age of eighteen, she had made up her mind. She no longer wanted to continue her studies; instead, she was determined to implore Tabitha to help her escape from her family. Only by leaving her home and this mother of hers could she find liberation. Heidi locked herself in the entire night, not even turning on the lights. It was only when she heard the sound of the front door opening that she realized Tony and Edmund had returned.
Whereas Edmund went to bed early, Tony continued to drink and watch television. Then, a few nagging remarks from Petra immediately sparked his anger. "Shut it!" he snapped. "I'm already having a bad day losing money! Tell me, what... what exactly do you plan to do with that daughter of yours?"
Already standing at the door, Heidi felt a sudden shiver in her heart and quickly pressed herself against the door to eavesdrop.
In response, Petra hastily pulled the man into their room, seemingly afraid of being overheard.
