Hopeless, Dylan resorted to causing a ruckus, desperately seeking help from the other Quirk relatives. Yet, no one showed him any sympathy. This was no surprise, given that all the nasty deeds he had committed against his own sister were something the Quirks simply could not tolerate. It was inevitable that Dylan would be disowned by his family. In the end, Felix and Alexander stepped forward to assist Eric in seeing the guests off. Eric, on the other hand, took Janice and the group of offenders to the police station. Meanwhile, Joanna was left with only distant relatives to keep her company. The departing guests were caught in a mix of restraint and excitement as they discussed the events. After all, it was their first time witnessing such drama from a prominent family, and that too, live. It was nothing short of spectacular. There were quite a few people here who had various connections with the inland. As such, the rumors spread so widely that everyone in the elite circle eventually knew what had happened. The inland prominent families were immediately on high alert, asking questions about the Yrinas that seemed irrelevant. “Um... was Isabella Jeannet, the new lady of the Quirk family, also present?” Everyone thought back. She was not just present but also played a crucial role. Immediately, curiosity was sparked as to why people would ask such a question. The elites of the inland simply told them, “You're lucky; your days ahead will no longer be dull.” That only confused the prominent families in Yrinas further. It was as stated, though, as the next few days were filled with follow-up news about the Quirk family. Dylan and James had been incarcerated. Although their time in prison was brief, it was enough to leave a permanent mark on their records.At the same time, Eric had publicly announced that Dylan would be permanently deprived of his inheritance rights, and all his wealth would solely be left to his daughter. He refused to acknowledge Dylan as his own son to the outside world, and Quirk Group would never employ him. Cody had been issued a verbal warning, but rumor had it that he and his parents were swiftly dispatched overseas by the Simmons family. They were effectively exiled to the fringes. Eric took no action against Cecilia; it was her own inability to stay in school that led her to drop out and vanish. As a result of Eric's divorce from Joanna, not only did he ensure the woman was left with nothing, but he also sought to reclaim all the expenses she had incurred for her old flame during their marriage. Moreover, he demanded compensation for his losses. There was no way Joanna and her lover could compensate, so in the end, it was the overseas Lawson family that had to cover them. They made a promise to Eric, ensuring that Joanna and her lover would never be able to return to Yrinas. The Lawsons also severed all ties with Joanna from that point on. Alexander informed Isabella that the Lawson family had taken such action solely to avoid offending the Quirks, not at all because they still wanted to protect Joanna. So, as the days went by, it was no surprise when Isabella came across some new gossip. Isabella: The Lawson family personally escorted Joanna and the man back to the city where the man resided. She was forced to live with him, and they still seemed to be in love. Quite impressive! Still, the man had always been a debtor on the run. All the money he'd previously taken from Joanna had also been squandered away, and he hadn't repaid any of his debts. This lead to creditors knocking on their door, demanding he pay them back. Isabella: Only then did Joanna learn the truth. Coupled with her inability to adapt to the impoverished life she had been living recently, she ended up in a fight with the man, who then pushed her and caused her to miscarry. Everything began to shatter around her. Now, Joanna's desperately trying to come back to Eric and Janice, even attempting to contact them. She obviously wants to return to her past. Alexander's family, who was eavesdropping nearby, felt utterly disgusted. Please don't contact Eric. He obviously won't turn back, but it'd still affect his mood! After enduring a few days of sorrow, Janice now seemed so much happier. Isabella: Haha! What's really amusing is that before Joanna was sent away, the Lawsons stripped her of all her electronic devices, and she can't remember Eric's and Janice's numbers at all! She truly got what she deserved. Then, after she ran away, her lover caught her and demanded her help in repaying his debts. Sigh... This is a classic case of getting what you give. She had a good life as a wealthy lady, a wonderful husband, and a well-behaved daughter, but she just had to bring trouble upon herself. Deep down, Alexander and his family were thrilled. What a lovely ending! Aside from those who listened to the gossip, no one else paid attention to this matter anymore. Of course, Lionel couldn't stop frowning upon hearing about all this. Within less than a month, two members of the household had parted ways. At this point, the old man began contemplating going to church and praying. Although he knew that the truth had protected his family, he still couldn't help but wonder if his family had been cursed.
