These days, even if his daughter really doesn’t recognize him, it’s just what he deserves.

The man in front of her once risked his life to protect her. Mabel Quinn still clearly remembers the moment of the car accident, how he turned the car around, and how he looked at her...

Over time, her uncle has become as important to her as her adoptive father because both of these men have protected her so well.

"Dad," Mabel Quinn said, "I’ve gained another dad, how could I not want that? I know that over the years, you’ve suffered a lot too."

Her words were tantamount to recognizing Edward Quinn, but on the other hand, to her, her foster father Asher Quinn would always be her father.

Edward Quinn obviously understood this too. "Yes, you have two fathers. Asher and I are both your fathers!" Edward said, feeling only gratitude toward Asher.

After a moment, Edward murmured, "If your mother were here, then we would truly be reunited as a family. She always said she wanted a daughter. If she knew her daughter was still alive, she must... she must be very happy."

Thinking of Clover, Edward’s eyes reddened, and a wave of pain and guilt seemed to hit his heart. Everything so beautiful once was destroyed by his own hands.

"Maybe mom is still alive, maybe one day she’ll find her way back just like I did," Mabel said.

Edward gave a bitter smile, "Let’s hope that’s true." In these troubled times, it’s the only hope he could hold onto. Now, he only wishes to see Clover again in his lifetime.

After the Quinn Family’s annual celebration banquet ended, the Quinn family members naturally gathered at the Quinn family mansion, and everyone was now watching Mabel Quinn closely, their faces varied with different thoughts.

Edward then publicly announced, "I think you all know Mabel is my daughter. Now that Mabel has come back and brought my granddaughter with her, I will officially announce it within the group tomorrow."

If it wasn’t for his daughter wanting to keep a low profile, he would have planned to hold another grand banquet to declare her identity to the outside world.

He owed this daughter too much, and even if he gave her everything he had, he still felt it wasn’t enough.

Upon hearing this, Alessia Quinn felt a pang in her heart, while her father Christopher Quinn had already spoken up first, "Big brother, you said you’d announce it within the group, are you planning for Mabel to join the group?"

"Of course, Mabel is my daughter, what’s wrong with her joining the group?" Edward said.

"But Mabel has never been involved in the group’s affairs," Christopher said.

"Everyone gets familiar with it gradually," Edward said, leaving Christopher at a loss for what to say.

Mabel herself was surprised that her father wanted her to join the group, so she said, "But I have other work..."

"Then just hold a title for now, you’ll need to start familiarizing yourself," Edward’s words didn’t say it all, but the Quinn family members understood the implication. Edward was likely laying the groundwork for his daughter.

Christopher, after all, is Edward’s blood brother who has always relied on his big brother due to his lack of ability. Although disgruntled, thinking this is his brother’s only daughter and considering how much his brother loved Clover back then, naturally he now wants to make it up to Mabel somehow, thus he could come to terms with it.
