Quentin clenched his fists tightly. He never thought that he would be forced to prove his relationship with Charlotte by someone younger than him.Someone like Joshua.He glared daggers at Joshua, knowing at that moment that Riley was no longer the trump card he could rely on.Despite having Riley with him for so long, Joshua never expended much effort to search for Riley. Even when Joshua knew that Riley was with him, Joshua never rushed to him and demanded the child be returned.Joshua must have known that he would use Riley as a bargaining chip, but Joshua did not panic at all.In a situation like this, using Riley as leverage was a dangerous move, but he could only take the risk because of Charlotte.At this moment…The silence prolonged for several seconds before finally, Charlotte broke the silence before Quentin could say anything."I have the evidence!" Charlotte struggled and yelled hysterically, "There's a DNA paternity report of me and Mr. Simms; it's in my left pock
Everyone, except for Joshua, was shocked by Granny Quinn's order.Luna stared at Granny Quinn, wondering if she had heard her words wrongly.Did she just ask to capture Quentin and Charlotte? Why? Quentin is Granny Quinn's godson, and Charlotte is Quentin's biological daughter! Why is she treating them like this?Granny Quinn was very supportive of Quentin even before Luna finally held Riley in her arms, and the elder even looked at Charlotte with vague affection and warmth.It was not only Luna who was dumbfounded. Even Butler Barton, who had served Granny Quinn for many years, was startled at Granny Quinn's sudden change of reaction."Old Madam Quinn, are you mistaken? Why are you asking the man to capture Mr. Simms and his daughter? You—""You don't know anything!" Granny Quinn sneered and glared at the bodyguards, who had been standing at a fair distance, unmoving, even after she gave an instruction. "I know that all of you take orders only from Quentin now, but don't forget
Charlotte's face turned pale, and she was downright intimidated by Granny Quinn. "I…" stammered Charlotte timidly, "I'm his biological daughter."She looked at Granny Quinn with a pitiable expression. "Didn't you see the DNA paternity report? I—I am Quentin's biological daughter!""So, you are Quentin's biological daughter, are you?" Granny Quinn sneered and looked at Quentin, who was by the side. Her lips curled up coldly. "Spill it. Who are you? I know you're not Quentin; just a man who had plastic surgery to look like Quentin."Quentin squinted at this comment, never once thinking that the old hag would have said such a thing at this time.No one had discovered his flaws after he became Quentin and made his return. No one—not Granny Quinn, and not the people around her—noticed anything. He had been by her side for two months, and within these two months, no one had suspected him whatsoever.Why, then, would Granny Quinn ask him that question at this moment?Assuming that the e
Having said that, Granny Quinn glared at Quentin coldly. "Tell me, then. How could you, Quentin, have a daughter you biologically fathered?"Quentin's face flushed white, while everyone else looked visibly dumbfounded. Luna looked at Granny Quinn and had a hard time processing the information she was hearing.'That meant that the real Quentin would have no sexual reaction with a woman and, thus, wouldn't have fathered a daughter at all!' Luna thought.If everything were as Granny Quinn had said, then the Quentin they were looking at was just an imposter who had plastic surgery to look like Quentin.Who was the man before them, then, and where was the real Quentin?"Thank you for helping the Quinn family to get rid of this scrooge, Mr. Lynch." At that point, Granny Quinn looked at Joshua gratefully, her voice quivering in exhilaration. "If you hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have discovered that he's an imposter!"She got more excited as she talked until she had to apply pressu
Joshua lifted Quentin's chin with his finger. His deep, sorrowful eyes expressed just how furious he was."You're responsible for my aunt and Luna's uncle's deaths, aren't you, Sirius? How many crimes and mistakes have you done in the name of Rosalyn? I heard people saying that you died in the fire, and I couldn't help but suspect something was wrong."In my investigation, Quentin was a barbarian who never used his head to think or scheme. But, after you return from Lincoln City to seek shelter from Rosalyn, 'Quentin' suddenly looked like he had a brain. Not only did he murder my aunt, but he also knew how to spark a feud between the Lynch family and the Landry family."In the end, he left and disappeared from Merchant City after you died in the fire…only for you to suddenly, and conveniently, show up in this city once more."Everything seems all too coincidental, no?"Quentin turned his head away, not wanting to have eye contact with Joshua. "Why can't I suddenly change?""I don
Joshua smirked as he stared at Quentin—who was struggling for the last time—from a condescending angle."Mr. Simms… No, you're Sirius Curtis now."So, Mr. Curtis, do you think that with that DNA paternity report that little Riley here is mine and Luna's second daughter?"Sirius' face turned pale, while Luna frowned. "Joshua, what are you talking about?""Lucas." Joshua glanced at Lucas, who stood away from everyone.Lucas immediately approached them, his expression showing the blue funk he harbored while he carefully reported, "It happened a month ago. The family's little princess, Nellie, who was in kindergarten at Banyan City, told Mr. Lynch that a new teacher working in the kindergarten was acting in a peculiar fashion. The teacher kept on collecting Nellie's hair. Harboring suspicion, Sir had asked Jude to help with the investigation."The result of the investigation is…that the new teacher got bribed by Heather and Malcolm to collect the young miss' DNA sample."Luna was st
"It's all because of you!"Sirius aimed his wrath-filled gaze toward Charlotte and seethed, "You just had to attempt murder on Jim's two kids and killed that bitchy Roanne who you failed to control! We wouldn't have ended up like this!"I needed one week, just another week, and I'd be the only successor in the Quinn family. We'd be living like royalty by then, thriving in the limelight! It's all your fault!"Luna frowned as she listened to Sirius' rants, subconsciously turning to look at Granny Quinn at the far side. The elder's face was paler than the wall behind her. Perhaps Granny Quinn had never thought that Sirius was responsible for her gradually weakening body."You… You…!" Granny Quinn finally broke her silence as she pointed a finger at Sirius, but try as she did, she could not muster a full sentence.Sirius sneered. "What? Didn't you like your godson a lot? Aren't you happy that I let you die the same way as he did? No one could treat you now with the drug I gave to you;
Everyone turned to look toward the source of the voice…only to meet eyes with none other than Samuel, Granny Quinn's biological son, who had decided to be a priest.The Samuel standing before them was unlike before, however, as he wore ash-gray casual clothing and a hat instead of his regular cassock. A cold, murderous aura emanated from his being.Following after him quietly was Malcolm, who had a terrible-looking expression. It was as if he had just gotten into a fight with Samuel.Sirius raised his head and looked at the man at the door. A moment later, he narrowed his eyes. "How dare you come back and be involved in this? Don't forget that you and I—""You almost killed my mother. Why can't I get myself involved in this?" interrupted Samuel.Sirius sneered. "When did you start caring about your family? Isn't God the only thing you care about?""Being a priest means that I perform sacred rites and act as a mediatory agent between humans and God. That doesn't equate to standing
