Joanna’s lips quivered. “It’s you who’s insisting on having your way and being biased. Cecilia is a nice g “Aunt Joanna, you truly have a knack for being forgetful. If you want to claim that stealing someone el boyfriend and bullying have nothing to do with her, what about the formula of the medicinal diet?

Ce personally admitted that she stole the results of Janice’s hard work, taking credit for her efforts.

Never mind that you didn’t bother to stand up for your daughter, but you ever want to adopt someone with: questionable character?” Christopher derided with a cold laugh.

“You’re blind to your daughter’s grievances yet feeling sorry for an outsider. Is this what you meant by being impartial. Aunt Joanna?” Carlos seconded.

“Cecilia is already an adult. I truly don’t understand what you’re thinking to insist on adopting her, Aun Joanna,” Rosalie couldn’t help but mutter.

“Isn’t an adoption of age clear proof that she has her sights set on the Quirk family?” Eula spat venomously.

Jake immediately chimed in, “Don’t blow the whistle on her! What other reason could there if not the Quirk family’s fortune? To acknowledge a father to support him in his old age?”

“No, that’s not true…” Cecilia urgently denied, instantly panicked.

With a dark expression, Joanna interjected, “Don’t spout nonsense here. I’m naturally well aware of Janic grievances. Cecilia wants to apologize sincerely. She just had a momentary lapse of judgment.

Joannat Is she determined to seek benefits for outsiders?

Even if I can’t be your daughter, I’m willing to be good to you always.” With that said, Cecilia put on an aggrieved. look. It was as though she had been picked on by everyone.

Undeniably, Cecilia could read the situation. Gritting her teeth and biting the bullet in the end, she immediately took Joanna’s hand and said. “Mdm. Joanna, I know you mean well, but don’t quarrel with Mr. Eric for my sake. There’s absolutely no need for that. It’s quite odd for me to be adopted and call someone else Mom and Dad at my age in the first place, so it’s okay.”
