As a result, Alessia Quinn ended up being the least busy. Even though Christopher Quinn wanted his daughter to take on an important position and lend a helping hand, Thomas Quinn and his mother strongly opposed it, and since his son was mostly handling Quinn Enterprises’ affairs, Christopher didn’t insist.

Camille Grant, on the other hand, was busy with her son’s affairs. Although her son had become a complete wreck and faced the threat of imprisonment, Camille was running around looking for a lawyer, hoping to get her son acquitted, or at least to serve fewer years if he couldn’t be acquitted.

At this moment, Alessia Quinn was visiting the hospital to check on Edward Quinn’s condition. Lately, she had been the most frequent visitor to the hospital, not because she cared much for Edward, hoping her uncle would recover soon.

On the contrary, she feared Edward waking up. Once her uncle woke up, the Quinn Family would undoubtedly undergo another round of changes!

When she saw Mabel Quinn in her uncle’s ward, a deep-seated hatred flickered in Alessia’s eyes.

A few days ago, she had seen a letter from country Y addressed to her uncle. Although Edward’s correspondence was usually handled by a designated person, it wasn’t difficult to sneak a peek at his letters since he was still in a coma.

In that letter, she saw a paternity test, with the names Edward Quinn and Mabel Quinn written in pinyin.

The result of the test showed that Mabel Quinn and her uncle had a parent-child relationship.

This fact made Alessia want to tear the test certificate into shreds, but she knew that doing so wouldn’t help. Once her uncle woke up, the fact that Mabel was his biological child would eventually be made public.

By then, Mabel would become the revered Miss Quinn of the family, while she would be relegated to a marginal and awkward position within the Quinn Family. How could she bear that?!

However, seeing the two bodyguards beside Mabel, Alessia recalled her previous lessons and didn’t dare act rashly, only exercised her verbal skills, saying, "I thought you’d found some excellent doctor for uncle, yet he hasn’t woken up. Hmph, people like you are the most scheming, first causing uncle to suffer so much, then acting like you’ve made such an effort for him by bringing in a doctor. Mabel Quinn, are you trying to make the Quinn Family eternally grateful to you? You’re just aiming to extract more benefits from the Quinns, aren’t you? I think you better stay far away and never show up at the Quinns again! It’s because of you that uncle is in his current condition, and you still have the audacity to visit him?"

Mabel Quinn, coldly gazed at the arrogant Alessia in front of her, only feeling a surge of disgust. So she instructed the bodyguard beside her, "Slap her face. Every time she says another word, slap her again."

"Mabel Quinn, what do you mean by this?" Alessia exclaimed in shock.

The next moment, her body was restrained by one bodyguard, while another bodyguard raised a hand and slapped her hard across the face.

Alessia’s face was swung to one side; she was in utter disbelief. She never imagined that in broad daylight, Mabel would dare to instruct her bodyguards to do such a thing!

Her face stung with sharp pain, but what she found even more unbearable was the embarrassment. After all, this was the corridor of the VIP ward area. Although there were few people, nurses and doctors did pass by the atrium at times.
