After all, Edward Quinn was unmarried and childless for so many years. If he really liked the other person, and the two didn’t have a blood relationship, even if they did marry, it wouldn’t matter; at most, it would just sound a bit immoral in terms of ethics.

The people in the Quinn Family, however, each had different expressions. Almost everyone understood in their hearts that now, the dynamics of the Quinn Family were likely to change once again.

"Uncle..." Mabel Quinn, embraced by Edward Quinn, also choked up and said, "I’m sorry for making you worry and be upset..."

"I’m not your uncle." Edward Quinn cried for quite a while and finally regained himself. He straightened up and his gaze fixed on the face of the person in front, "I’m not your uncle, Mabel. I am your father, you are the daughter of Clover and me!"

His words struck like thunder, causing Mabel Quinn and Daniel Harris to both show amazement.

Mabel Quinn was completely stunned, "Uncle, you’re saying..."

"Everything I said is true!" Edward Quinn said.

"But..." Mabel Quinn was still a bit confused, when suddenly, a childish voice rose, "Mommy, why are you and grand-uncle both crying?"

Only then did Edward Quinn notice the little one standing next to Mabel Quinn, whose tender face clearly bore the resemblance to Mabel Quinn.

"This child is..." Despite his guess, Edward Quinn still asked aloud.

"This is my daughter, Katherine Quinn." Mabel Quinn said.

"Hello, grand-uncle." The little one remembered what mommy had told her earlier, to always greet people proactively.

Edward Quinn bent down and almost cautiously picked up Katherine Quinn. At this moment, it was as if he glimpsed the scene from the past at the Quinn Family, when Asher held the young Mabel and brought her to the Quinn Family.

Back then, his daughter was clearly so close to him, yet he knew nothing and just passed by indifferently.

Now, the child he held resembled the little Mabel from those days, and suddenly, the tears he had managed to stop began to fill his eyes again.

The little one hurriedly said, "Grand-uncle, don’t cry, Ivy will help you wipe your tears." Saying this, she began to clumsily use her little hands to wipe the tears on Edward Quinn’s face.

Edward Quinn took a deep breath, and although his face still had tear streaks, he smiled, "I’m not grand-uncle, Ivy, I’m your grandfather!"

At the annual gala, with the departure of Edward Quinn and Mabel Quinn, no one was in the mood anymore; everyone was speculating what the scene just now truly meant. Many people were too far to clearly hear the conversation between the involved parties, but the Quinn Family members understood the fact that Mabel Quinn was Edward Quinn’s daughter.

"Who exactly is this woman? Why is your uncle so emotional?" Tobias Houghton asked next to Alessia Quinn.

Alessia Quinn almost gritted her teeth and said, "Originally, she was just a child picked up by a relative of the Quinn Family division; but somehow, she’s turned into my uncle’s daughter."

"Your uncle’s daughter? His biological one?" Tobias Houghton was shocked.

"Yes." Alessia Quinn said.

"Could it be that your uncle might hand the Quinn Family over to his daughter?" Tobias Houghton said with a gloomy face. If that were the case, marrying Alessia Quinn would be meaningless, wouldn’t it?

Alessia Quinn hadn’t replied yet when another voice said, "So, Alessia, you’re not really the true young lady of the Quinn Family after all?"
