Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 370 Seize The Moral High Ground First
Suddenly, she found the information extremely jarring leaving her utterly confused.
She replied: Iâm not sure where you heard such information from, but Iâve never interfered with anything. It was the Quirk familyâs decision. Besides, arenât you my boyfriend? Why would you accuse me without even asking for my side of the story? Why are you siding with Cecilia? Are you two close or something?
Janiceâs heart pounded as she sent the message. She waited a good while before she received a response.
It read: What on earth are you daydreaming about? I only spoke up because of how close Cecilia is to you and your brother, almost like family. Wasnât she the one who saved your motherâs life? You should know to repay kindness with kindness. I donât want to see you make one mistake after another. Iâm trying to guide you in the right direction. Look at you now. You donât even trust me anymore?
Janice felt incredibly aggrieved. It was because of the so-called life-saving grace that she couldnât muster the will to resist Ceciliaâs entrance into the Quirk family. Any resistance on her part seemed akin to being unfilial.
However, recalling how everyone unhesitatingly stood behind Sarah no matter what she did, Janice suddenly felt a sense of loneliness, even though she had a boyfriend who was the envy of the entire school.
Sounds echoed from the living room once again.
âWeâll never guess it, but Alex definitely has figured it out!â
âExactly. If you keep us in suspense, weâll go straight to Alex for answers.â
Janice took another look at those replies and could sense an indescribable air of arrogance..
She felt a wave of confusion within her and replied: My cousin is the head of the Quirk family, the man in charge of Quirk Group. My dad never goes against his decisions. Is it wrong for me to listen to him?
After sending that message, Janice snapped back to reality, hastily putting away her phone. She didnât dare to imagine Codyâs response. She felt that he would be angry. It was her first time confronting Cody, and she was quite unaccustomed to it. However, she believed that what she said wasnât wrong.
Cody didnât respond. The moment he saw the reply, he smashed his phone.
That sentence was essentially mocking him. Alexanderâs reputation was well-known even in Yrinas.
Janice seemed to be saying that there was no way anything decided by Alexander could be wrong.
What right did he have to say that others needed his correction?
All in all, Cody was quite upset that night.
Meanwhile, the gossip about Sarahâs divorce had already started circulating in the living room.
At the peak of online entertainment activity in Yrinas, a headline related to high-society gossip emerged.
The young lady of the Quirk family had publicly confronted her husbandâs mistress. Taking her daughter by the hand, she severed ties with her in-laws.
Then, the circumstances leading up to the current situation were explained. It included the scheming of the unfaithful man, photos of the mistress and her family at the scene, and most importantly, the

Chapter 370 Seize The Moral High Ground First
The internet went into an uproar
In no time, the public opinion had set the tone. Terry and Veraâs phone call was promptly rejected.
Suddenly, they realized that, even if they were determined to sever ties, they couldnât break the bond of blood. In the future, they could still emotionally manipulate Nina. If Nina was disobedient, they could use public opinion to force her to submit, However, they were now being berated all over the internet, with people saying they got what they deserved. They could hardly dare to imagine if things could really turn out as they had hoped.
The Quirks were beside themselves with laughter after they had their fill of gossip.
This is a strategy to block all their escape routes with public opinion in advance. After that, they wonât be able to play the morality card anymore.
Isabella leaned into Alexanderâs embrace, laughing uncontrollably. âThis is what it means to seize the moral high ground first.â
Evian asked, âBut isnât it legally impossible?â
Rosalie was confused as well. âHuh? Does that mean she would still be taken advantage of?â
Jake said, âThat would only be after Nina turns eighteen if they are still alive and need Ninaâs supportâ¦â
Eula chimed in, âBut theyâll have to sue Nina if they want financial support. Whatever the court decides she owes, thatâs what sheâll have to pay.â
Christopher suggested, âThen change the money into coins, and let them count one by one.â
Carlos added, âJust replace it with food of the same value. I guarantee they wonât starve.â
Janice chuckled.
