Chapter 377 Black Apples
Because Carlos mood was so low, the three of them didnât dare to joke around after getting in the car. Upon arriving back at the Quirk estate, Carlos went straight to his room to rest.
However, the others didnât care about his unfortunate experiences. Since Carlos didnât ask them to keep it a secret, they shared the fresh gossip with the rest of the hardâworking family members when they returned.
When Janice came back, the gossip stopped immediately.
Janice returned halfâsoaked, looking upset.
When i they asked. Janice only said it was an accident and then quickly went to her room.
Those who couldnât hear thoughts continued discussing Carlosâ gossip, while those who could grow increasingly concerned.
What the heck? Just because Janice argued with her boyfriend and made him angry, those soâ
called âprotectorsâ started giving Janice trouble? Someone pretended to get water for cleaning while Janice was in the bathroom, then deliberately spilled the bucket on her. They apologized smoothly, leaving Janice unable to pursue it, but she knew it was bullying.
Davidâs family: Dâmn! A Quirk family daughter being bullied? Unthinkable!
Alexander held Isabella, recalling that many people had asked to meet him when he visited today.
especially the Simmons family. Eric had told him they were considering a marriage alliance, as their families were wellâmatched in Yrinas.
According to Eric, the Simmons family had many sons, and they promised that whoever married a young lady of the Quirk family would receive a focused education and be selected as their heir.
Wait a minute, is this soâcalled boyfriend even real? Why doesnât he care about his girlfriend at all?
And why did they argue about Cecilia being adopted? Is he close to Cecilia? Janice couldnât reach him after being drenched with water What is going on?
Hearing this, Alexander chuckled coldly. It seemed that young man had no chance of being an heir.
Not only that, Dylan also went to school today, bringing Cecilia to scold Janice and threatening her to plead with Uncle Eric tonight.
Davidâs family collectively rolled their eyes. They really didnât want to acknowledge that Dylan shared the same blood, but unfortunately, he resembled the family. In such a large family, there were bound to be bad apples.
It seems that Janice staying here tonight is her only form of resistance.
Davidâs family: Fine, Janice has made some progress. At least she knows how to resist now.

SP +5 Parts Shortly after they left the hall, the remaining men saw Carlos grabbing his car keys and rushing out.
Christopher kindly asked if everything was okay, but Carlos only muttered that it was urgent and left without further explanation.
What could Carlos say? That his student threatened to commit suicide because he rejected her confession and was forcing him to go to her?
Penelope had just videoâcalled him, showing her slitting her wrists.
Carlos was terrified. He tried to call 911 or the police, but Penelope had anticipated it and warned him.
She told him to come alone before she bled out, or sheâd jump off a building.
Carlos had no choice. While calling the police might distance himself from the situation, it could also spiral out of control. Even if it didnât, it would ruin Penelopeâs future.
Given her stellar performance tonight, Penelope had made a name for herself as a genius. A suicide. scandal would destroy her.
Carlos believed Penelope might just be too willful and thought there might still be a way to reason with her. At the very least, his presence could calm her down.
However, when Carlos reached the practice room Penelope had indicated and pushed the door open, was still shocked.â
Penelope lay naked on the floor, a pool of blood forming beside her slit wrist.
