Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind Chapter 409 A Slap In The Face This statement was essentially a slap in Ericâs face.
Christopher and Rosalie, however, couldnât help chuckling.
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 heâs made Eric still clung to the hope that Dylan might find a place working under Alexander, but that hope had been shattered. Dylanâs actions had led to his expulsion from the Quirk familyâs 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 Groupâs 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.
Carlosâ 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 hadnât expected these jerks to actually play Janice like a fiddle.
He watched the video sent by Isabella and said, âEven though theyâd been punished, they canât be forgiven so easily. They had been bullying Janice for a year and caused her trauma.â
Alexander lifted his gaze to observe Eric, who wore a grim expression and was clearly upset.
He replied to Isabella: Donât worry. Iâll let Uncle Eric handle it.
Isabella: Are you sure heâll handle it?
Alexander: He will.
Right then, Eric appeared calm, but it the calm before the storm. Naturally, his anger was not due to Carlosâ 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 Carlosâ words.
After listening to Carlosâ complaint, Eric finally spoke, expressing concern for Janiceâs wellbeing.
âHow is Janice doing now?â
Carlos paused for a moment before saying, âIsabella and the others are with her. Sheâll be fine, I think. She broke up with Cody and faced the bullies bravely.â
Eric exhaled in relief. âThank you. Donât worry, I wonât let my daughter suffer anymore.â
He didnât try to argue and shift the blame by saying he didnât know anything since Janice never mentioned 1. it.
He understood that he had failed as a father by not noticing his daughterâs distress and not asking if she Shapter 409 A Slap In The Face 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. Dylanâs number instead.
In the lounge, Sarah and Felix and his family were present. They exchanged glances curiously but didnât dare ask any questions.
Dylan quickly answered the phone.
âDad, perfect timing. I want to tell you that- Dylan was about to complain when his dadâs cold voice cut him short âAnswer 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?â Eric had always been composed, and that was the first time he yelled at his son.
Felix whispered to his kids, âItâs rare to see Eric this angry.â
Everyone was shocked.
Sarah couldnât help asking her brother what was going on, while Eula and Jake, having hung out with Isabella and the others, couldnât 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 didnât consider himself foolish at all. Even when his father questioned him, he didnât feel guilty at all. In fact, his anger intensified.
âWhatâs 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 sheâll throw her weight around if her identity is publicized? I only asked her to hide her identity to discipline her!â
