Chapter 297 Your Influence Is Great #Finished The Quirk family was frozen in shock for a moment, realizing the gravity of the situation. Given the Burke familyâs high regard for their offspring, and considering the current state of Ralphâs health⦠if word got out, it would be truly disastrous, Ines was indirectly responsible for the loss of her future brotherâinâlaw and sisterâinâlaw. Instead of forming a familial bond through marriage, she had unintentionally created animosity.
Everyone in the Quirk family knew thes, so they naturally understood this must have been an unfortunate accident. How could circumstances align so coincidentally?
All that was desired was for there to be no misunderstandings between Aiden and Ines.
Based on Alexanderâs understanding of Aiden, he figured that the one likely to have issues wouldnât be Aiden, but rather Ines.
Isabella and Alexander found themselves on the same wavelength.
Given Ines nature, it was likely that she was drowning in selfâblame, feeling extremely apologetic toward Aiden. Aiden didnât want her to feel upset, so he let her stay at home, taking care of everything himself At that time, he was accompanying Yvonne at the hospital, hoping she would recover some before their wedding. He didnât want anyone to And out about her recent miscarriage. He already discussed with Yvonne about keeping this a secret for the time mplicated. They would figure out what to do later. Huh?
being, at least to ensure that Ines would The Quirk family members were utterly bewildered upon hearing this. They had initially assumed that regardless of the relationship Yvonne had with Aiden and the others, she would not possibly choose to help conceal such an incident. Could it be that she was truly this kindâhearted?
Um⦠A saintess?
Isabella found it utterly bewildering. Perhaps it was due to the earlier gossip she had heard from Ines about Yvonne, which had resulted in a rather complex first impression of her. Consequently, she couldnât help but become skeptical.
Typically, encountering a man like Ralph, who frequently changed wives and had fertility issues, having a child would be the greatest security for Yvonne in the Burke family. So, why was she so willing to cooperate with Aiden?
Alexander had reached the same conclusion in his thoughts. He figured that perhaps it was precisely because Yvonne had no one else to rely on, that she decided to cooperate with Aiden.
After all, without a child, given Ralphâs fickle nature, she could be abandoned at any moment. At this point, temporarily hiding the truth and getting married first seemed to be more advantageous for Yvonne.
Having such an issue arise before the wedding, it canât possibly⦠tomorrowâs wedding⦠umâ¦
does this mean I wonât be able to attend the ceremony peacefully again?
Isabellaâs sudden realization left her momentarily at a loss for words.
The emotions within the Quirk family were also running high. After all, having a new mistress suffer a miscarriage, particularly when it was caused by their sonâs girlfriend, was not something one could easily. speak of.
ha than they really honed Aiden could BG.
Chapter 297 Your Influence Is Great Finished With a heart filled with curiosity and uncase, the day of the wedding finally arrived.
Everyone had just arrived at the wedding venue when they were taken by surprise.
There were far more people than they had ever imagined.
Ralph had been married multiple times, so many socially prominent individuals didnât want to attend anymore. Typically, they would just send a gift to express their regards.
But this time, there truly was a significant number of guests.
âWhatâs going on?â David asked, taken aback.
Selena asked. âSince when did Ralph become so good at socializing?â
It just so happened that Callahan had a day off, so Evian brought him along to attend the wedding.
Evian, looked around with a clueless expression. On the other hand, Callahan was observing carefully. âIt seems like a lot of people are sneaking glances at us.â
The childrenâs thoughts were quite straightforward. They figured they were the center of attention due Alexanderâs and Isabellaâs reputation. They were, after all, quite famous.
However, the adults caught on, all of them turning their gazes toward Isabella.
Isabella blinked innocently..
Could it be because they heard I was coming? Wouldnât that be too outrageous?
âWow, so many people,â she exclaimed. âIt seems everyone got the word that Isabella would be here today and decided to try their luck.â Elaine laughed and said, âWhat is it they say? Deliberately causing a mess?
âYou must be feeling the same way, right?â Deborah said nonchalantly.
Elaine cheekily stuck out her tongue, greeting the family who had arrived before them.
âIsabella, your influence now surpasses even your husbandâs,â Elaine said with a laugh.
Isabellaâs lips twitched as she said, âYou can have the influence.â
How could a mere spectator become the center of attention? Itâs going to make it so much harder to just sit back and enjoy the show. Itâs absolutely frustrating Hearing her inner thoughts, the Quirk family members struggled to suppress their laughter.
Everyone was chatting and laughing as they entered the venue together. At the entrance, they saw Ralph, who had a rather pleasant smile. Beside him stood a young man who bore a striking resemblance to him, but it wasnât Aiden.
âI knew it, that rascal Aiden would never be content playing host for his flirtatious old man,â Elaine gossiped quietly.
Isabella grew curious.
Chapter 297 Your Influence is Great At this point, everyone had already exchanged greetings with the host.

Finished It wasnât until that moment that Isabella recognized the young man standing next to Ralph, the one who had taken Aidenâs place.
My goodness, the Burke familyâs patriarch is truly something This man, who appears to be about the same age as Aiden, is actually Aidenâs younger uncle, Elijah, the youngest brother of Ralph.
Judging by his impatient demeanor, seems like he was roped in to be the groomsman, considering all his older siblings were inside as guests, leaving him alone to attend to the other guests.
Once they entered the venue, they saw Roland and Damien in the distance, waving at them. They had arrived early.
Isabellaâs curious gaze lingered between Damien and Deborah for a moment, noticing a slight difference. It was in Damienâs gaze. Previously, it would never land on Deborah, but now, he was blatantly staring at her.
However, despite both of them setting out from the Winters manor, they didnât act together. It seemed that Deborah inexplicably resisted this adoptive older brother.
Isabella gave them a quick glance, her attention swiftly diverted elsewhere.
At that time, Ines was sitting with them. Unusually, among the group of people, one could spot Ines.

Seeing Inesâ somewhat dazed exp.

on, it was clear that she hadnât fully recovered yet. She even seemed At a single glance, everyone could tell that something was off with her.
Although Roland and Damien were the first to arrive and had asked what was up, Ines was not willing to answer. Given that they were males, it wasnât appropriate for them to press further.
Just as the others arrived, Roland and Damien quickly exchanged glances with everyone.
Aside from Isabella and Alexander, nobody else knew the truth. Hence, Elaine casually asked, âWhatâs up? Youâve been acting strange lately. Did you have a fight with Aiden?â
Ines managed to force a smile. âDonât make assumptions, Iâm fine⦠Itâs just that I didnât get much sleep last night.â
âMissy, you sure have a lot on your mind. Iâll just ask Aiden later,â Elaine said, unwilling to make Ines uncomfortable. âBy the way, where is Aiden? Heâs not at the door, and heâs not guarding his darlin he up to?â
Upon uttering those words, subtle changes could be seen in the expressions of Roland and Damien.
Elaine was on edge at the moment. She immediately responded, âWhat happened?â
âItâs nothing really, his new stepmother called him away,â Roland said, laughing as he returned to his normal self.
Whatâs teen mile SI seems she was feeling a bit under the
