Moreover, she had her doubts initially, but when Kyle Kinston said he loved her not because of Mabel’s connection, she believed him.

His pride would never allow him to tell such a lie.

Edward Quinn nodded without saying more, just added, "No matter what decision you make in the future, Dad will support you. So, you don’t have to be scared or worried, just make the choice you want based on your feelings." He would always be the pillar for his daughter and granddaughter, at any time!

Mabel Quinn felt her nose tingle, "Dad, thank you."

"I’m your dad, it’s only natural," Edward Quinn said, fearing that he hadn’t done enough yet.

Mabel Quinn returned to J City, mostly to spend more time with Edward Quinn. After nearly 30 years apart, both Mabel Quinn and Edward Quinn cherished this relationship immensely.

However, while some rejoiced, others worried. Alessia Quinn was one of them. Although Mabel Quinn mentioned that upon returning to J City, she would continue her work as a screenwriter, requiring a lot of time in the production team,

Alessia Quinn viewed Mabel’s return to J City as a power grab, believing that everything in the Quinn Family would eventually be handed over by Uncle to Mabel, negating her years of efforts.

She had employed many schemes and tactics to get engaged to Tobias Houghton, the young master of the Houghton Family; however, recently, it seemed that both Tobias and the Houghton Family were increasingly dissatisfied with her, as if marrying her was like purchasing a money-losing deal. She even overheard whispers between her future mother-in-law, Mrs. Houghton, and Tobias about calling off the engagement.

Calling off the engagement? If the Houghton Family really called it off, Alessia Quinn feared she would become the laughing stock of J City. Alessia thought of her old classmate, Francine Howards, in Falling City, who became a laughingstock and is now whereabouts unknown.

She didn’t want to become the next Francine Howards.

But... could she really just let Mabel Quinn steal all her thunder? Alessia Quinn was unwilling! At this moment, at a prestigious party among J City’s elites, Alessia watched Mabel Quinn, who was holding Edward Quinn’s arm, with resentment in her eyes.

Today, Mabel Quinn wore a deep purple evening gown with exquisite makeup, looking elegant and noble, especially with that ethereal aura she exuded, which others couldn’t emulate even if they tried.

Even though she had been an orphan for so many years, she suddenly transformed and now appeared more like a lady of the manor than Alessia herself! Alessia resented, forgetting that Mabel was originally a lady of the manor!

Mabel Quinn’s other hand held her daughter’s. Katherine Quinn, dressed in a custom gown of the same color as her mother’s, looked just like a little princess, very adorable.

Alessia Quinn knew that her uncle intended to use this opportunity to introduce Mabel formally to J City’s upper-class circle.

If Mabel Quinn really made a big splash here, it would only highlight her own pitiful state. No matter what, today she had to ruin Mabel’s grand entrance.

So, Alessia looked toward a figure not far away, Andrew Curtis, a gossip journalist known for writing sensational news about wealthy families to grab attention.

———— Lately, there have always been six updates daily, three in the morning and three in the evening. I saw some readers mentioning only two updates — honestly, that’s not true at all ~~~

I’ve been running to the hospital for check-ups these days. Because there are so many people at the hospital, sometimes a few check-ups take the whole day. I spent all day at the hospital yesterday and today, and have a pile of check-ups tomorrow too ~~~ But it’s not a serious illness, no need to worry, it’s just a full-body check-up for peace of mind. I was previously busy revising the manuscript, got that done, and now off to the hospital, haven’t really had any downtime, but I’ll keep updating diligently~~~ Those who have followed my writing know that throughout these years of writing online literature, I’ve never failed to update even once, so you guys can be sure to keep reading, updates won’t decrease, if anything, they will increase once I have more time ~~~
