Chapter 225 Why Did You Interfere Members of the Quirk family scattered across the venue immediately stopped socializing What had they just heard?
Though they were at a distance and couldnât get every word⦠What on earth had they just heard?
Stephanieâs boyfriendâthe guy we just sawâis actually Owen Fordâs illegitimate son?
David and Selena so happened to be facing Daphine.
56 Finished With a laugh. Daphne engaged Selena in conversation, portraying an image osszul ignorance that was truly pitiable. After all, within the circles of the wealthy and influential, both David and Owen appeared to be upstanding men who didnât mess around with other women.
Yet, it turned out that Owenâs illegitimate child was almost the same age as Roland. This was simply too mindâblowing.
Evian and Rosalie happened to see Rosalie setting the new bride down the stairs, his face beaming with joy and satisfaction as though he hadnât a care in the world.
Meanwhile, Christopher was outside and saw Ethan leisurely making his way back.
Itâs no wonder he looks weird. Did he get surgery after Roland ruined his face?
But itâs not like Roland even knows this guy is his fatherâs illegitimate son, so why would he hit him?
Besides, given Rolandâs personality, heâd never act so rashly even if he were to find out the truth.
Itâs not the illegitimate childâs fault for being born, after all. Rolandâs actually pretty compassionate when it comes to stuff like this..
Immediately following, the piercing scream could be heard from Isabella clear as day.
This caused everyone in the Quirk family to be on edge.
Whatâs wrong?
What secret greater than an illegitimate child that could there be that would cause her to scream like that?
Isabella: It canât be. This is absolutely impossible!
The Quirks: What? What exactly is impossible!?
Isabella: Rolandâs wife is pregnant⦠with Ethanâs child!
The Quirks were dumbfounded.
Wait a minute.
What did you just say?
Whose wife and whose child?

Finished Standing next to Isabella, Alexander was just as flabbergasted and couldnât stop himself from looking at her.
The woman was utterly shocked after hearing such a piece of juicy gossip, so much so that she didnât notice Alexanderâs reaction.
Isabella: It was Ethan who bullied Shaha during high school, and Roland saved her! So how could Sasha possibly..
The Quirks: Was she threatened or coerced? Oh, the poor girl. That wouldâve been a nightmare.
Alexander: That doesnât add up. Given Rolandâs status compared to Ethanâs, there was no way Sasha wouldâve been bullied to such an extent. Roland couldâve completely dominated Ethan as long as Sasha spoke up.
Isabella: Blackmail! Ethan mustâve had something to use against Sasha. Thatâs the only reason Sasha wouldâ¦
Isabella had always seen Sasha as a timid girl, so she couldnât comprehend how the latter could possibly be carrying Ethanâs child. For a moment, Isabella wondered if there were any hidden details she was unaware of leaving her feeling like she didnât have the full story She began to scrutinize the details.
Isabella: There was no coercion, no blackmail, no⦠Ugh.
She fell silent.
The Quirk family eagerly anticipated more gossip, only to be left in suspense.
So, what on earth happened?
The silence is killing me!
Then came a gasp of astonishment from Isabellaâs heart.
Isabella: Roland, you really are the most unfortunate soul in the universe!
The hearts of the Quirk family members began to race.
Isabella: Why did you interfere? She actually wanted to be treated that way!
The Quirks were at a loss for words as reality shattered all their preconceptions.
Could it be⦠Could it be that Sasha actually welcomed and enjoyed all the bullying?
Isnât this a mental illness?
Isabella: Back then, Sasha had only recently started school when she accidentally spilled water on Ethan and immediately drew his attention. Her shabby clothes and quiet demeanor, coupled with the lack of parental supervision, only fueled Ethanâs arrogance. There were no boundaries when it came to the torment, it swiftly escalated to physical abuse, with punches and kicks becoming a regular occurrence.
Isabella: At first, Sasha would complain to the teacher about his bullying. But the more Ethan was lectured, the more he retaliated. Eventually, their classmates chose to isolate Sasha out of fear, adopting an every Chapter 225 Why Did You Interfere Finished man for himself attitude. It wasnât until Roland, a firstâyear senior then, accidentally witnessed Ethan attacking Sasha with a group of younger girls. Roland, being the righteous person he was, immediately stepped in to help. He took Sasha to the school infirmary, helped treat the injuries, asked about the circumstances, and went to the principal for help. He was determined to see the situation through to the end. Eventually, Ethan was asked to bring his parents to school.
The Quirk family was utterly confused. Wasnât this a classic case of a hero saving the damsel in distress?
But still, even if Sasha wouldnât necessarily fall for the hero, thereâs no way she could ever love her tormentor⦠right?
Isabella: At that time. Sasha harbored a mix of fear and resentment toward Ethan while being grateful for Rolandâs help. Yet, after the school had dealt with the incident, she happened to stumble. upon Ethan conversing with Owen on campus. At that point, she only knew that man was Ethanâs father. She didnât know he was actually Rolandâs father too. The man harshly reprimanded Ethan, even going as far as to slap him. He even warned him, âRemember your status as an illegitimate child. If you cause any more trouble, Iâll have you sent away!â Then, Ethan attempted to call him âDadâ, only to be harshly silenced.
The Quirk family members were left in a state of confusion. Okay, and? How does all this relate to Sashaâs affection for Ethan?
Isabella: Once Owen had left, Ethan began to cry in the rain. It was at that moment he appeared as helpless as a child to Sasha. An indescribable compassion then urged her to step forward, umbrella in hand, to shield him from the rain. At first glance, Ethan grew hostile and even had the intention of hitting her to make her leave. Yet, she remained silent, looking at him with pity.
Ultimately, he broke down, embracing her and crying for a long time. Then, in a fit of emotional release, he impulsively kissed her. She resisted at first, but eventually, she seemed to have been tamed and stopped struggling. And just like that, Sasha found a place for Ethan in her heart.
The Quirks: How should I put thisâ¦. Is this some sort of comingâofâage, campus heartache literature? Okay, so after that happened, they decided to embark on some campus romance. But how did Roland get dragged into all this?
Isabella: Despite having shared such an intimate moment, Ethan found himself feeling embarrassed afterward. He wished to erase all memories of that day, considering he had never held any high regard for Sasha in the first place. Sashaâs personality wasnât one to demand outcomes in matters of the heart either, so on the surface, their relationship remained unchanged.
Isabella: Ethan was a bit rebellious by nature and yearned to compete with Roland for their fatherâs attention. So, since Roland wanted to protect Sasha, Ethan decided to retaliate even more fiercely.
Isabella: However, at that time, Roland had his own issues to deal with. He also thought that the previous lesson had been enough and that Roland wouldnât cause any more trouble. In addition, Sasha couldnât bear the thought of Ethan actually getting expelled, so she willingly tolerated his violent behavior and kept it a secret from Roland.
Isabella: Yet, once Ethan noticed that Roland wasnât paying Sasha much attention anymore, he lost interest in her and began pursuing women who were interested in Roland. As a result, Sasha gradually began to feel neglected and anxious. She then started subconsciously revealing her inner turmoil to Roland and displaying signs of emotional distress in his presence. Naturally, it didnât take long for him to notice that something was amiss.
