Her Mind Is Full of Juicy Gossip
Rosalie, who was about the same age as Janice, couldn't help but say, “Dylan, why don't you ask Janice's opinion? David clearly said it should be a family decision.” Maybe Janice's presence was too weak, so everyone had momentarily forgotten that she hadn't expressed her opinion yet. With that, everyone's attention turned to Janice. Janice was clearly very uncomfortable with the attention and felt awkward all over. She wasn't used to anyone asking her opinion. The sudden question from her uncle's family left her at a loss. Dylan realized his mistake, and a flash of disgust crossed his face. He was sitting right next to Janice but hadn't asked her a single question. Instead, he said, “What does she know? Her opinion doesn't matter.” As soon as he said this, Lionel's face changed. “What are you talking about? Every child of the Quirk family matters.” Dylan's face turned red. He hadn't expected to be scolded and was both angry and embarrassed. He immediately vented his anger on Janice by tugging on her arm. “What's your opinion?” Dylan's attitude toward Janice made the surrounding relatives uncomfortable. However, since they were siblings, and no one knew how they usually interacted, the rest didn't want to overstep by saying anything in front of Eric. Eric was momentarily stunned but didn't react further, evidently not finding this attitude unusual. He thought his daughter was too quiet and always seemed distracted. Janice's eyes reddened, but she quickly lowered her head, her thick bangs hiding her emotions. “I have... no opinion. I'll listen to my parents.” Dylan sighed in relief, feeling somewhat smug. Luckily, he had sternly warned Janice before, telling her not to oppose Cecilia joining the Quirk family. “Is this okay now?” Dylan asked, subconsciously acknowledging Alexander's authority. It seemed that as long as Alexander agreed, it was settled. However, he found Alexander's expression unchanged, but the latter's gaze directed toward him turn cold. David's family also gave him unfriendly looks, making him feel inexplicably fearful. D*mn! What's wrong with this guy? Does he not want his real sister but prefers an adopted one? When he did charity work at the orphanage with Aunt Joanna, he met Cecilia and wanted to take care of her. That's fine, but making his real sister suffer for an outsider is a bit much. As Dylan and Janice were in front of them, many truths became clear in their minds after comparison. Cecilia is a scheming, malicious girl. She officially entered their lives in high school, and since then, Janice's life turned into a living hell. Cecilia would act bullied in front of Dylan while secretly saying hurtful things to Janice, forcing her to react. Then she'd play the victim in front of Dylan, creating endless trouble. This originally cheerful girl has now become so gloomy, all because she was forced into it. David's family was shocked, finding it hard to believe that someone who appeared out of nowhere could so easily deceive others. Isabella also found it unbelievable, especially since Janice was Dylan's sister. Even if Cecilia is a great actress, shouldn't you trust your own family? How can you be so dumb that when two sides tell different stories, you don't verify but instead choose to believe the outsider? It's not just Dylan. According to Janice's memories, even Aunt Joanna was completely fooled, always siding with Cecilia. What kind of family believes in the distorted truth? David's family collectively gasped in shock. What is this? Is Eric's wife, Joanna also an idiot? And what about Eric? Being busy with work, Uncle Eric had little interaction with his daughter, leaving family conflicts to his wife. He often wasn't home, numb to the situation, thinking Janice's character had gradually become like this, completely unaware of the bullying his daughter was suffering at home.
