Only Camille Grant and Alessia Quinn’s faces fell despite their attempts to mask their emotions.

Thomas Quinn, however, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Uncle. You’ve finally found Mabel, and today is the great day of your father-daughter reunion."

"Yes, it’s a great day," Edward Quinn replied with a smile.

Alessia Quinn suddenly spoke to Mabel Quinn, "Mabel, I’m really glad you’re alive, but I didn’t expect you’ve even had a daughter now. I wonder who the child’s father is and why he didn’t come back with you to the Quinn Family?"

Mabel Quinn gave a faint smile, guessing that Alessia would be infuriated upon her return. "I’m not with the child’s father, so of course, he wouldn’t come back with me."

"So, the child is just an illegitimate girl with no father?" Alessia Quinn said venomously. She despised being called an illegitimate child, so upon hearing Mabel’s words, she quickly pinned the title on the little girl’s head.

Edward Quinn’s eyes darkened, about to reprimand her, but Katherine Quinn, the little one, angrily shouted, "I have a daddy! My daddy’s name is Kyle Kinston. Even though he’s not an officer yet, one day... um, he will definitely become one!"

Although the little one didn’t understand what "illegitimate child" meant, she could understand that they were saying she had no father, so she felt it necessary to express that she had a dad.

And she had asked Mabel Quinn what her dad’s name was, and Mabel had not hidden it, directly writing Kyle Kinston’s name and even teaching her the three characters.

Edward Quinn had already asked his daughter before and knew the child’s father was Kyle Kinston. He wasn’t surprised; after all, the two had actually married back then.

But when he asked his daughter why she hadn’t gone to find Kyle Kinston later, she merely said, "It’s not suitable, so I didn’t want to be together."

Such a casual statement, yet behind it, how much bitterness and heartbreak lingered. Edward Quinn didn’t pursue it further, simply saying, "No matter what happens in the future, you’re my daughter, and behind you are me as your father and the Quinn Family protecting you!"

Meanwhile, the other members of the Quinn Family were shocked upon hearing what the little one said, and Alessia Quinn was especially incredulous. "Impossible. If this child is really Kyle Kinston’s, how could you not return to him? You’re just making things up. This child is actually just a..."

Before she could finish the word "bastard," Mabel Quinn slapped her across the face.

"Alessia Quinn, I warn you, if you dare say anything bad about my daughter, I won’t be polite no matter who you are," Mabel Quinn said.

"You—" Alessia Quinn held her face, looking incredulous.

Camille Grant then rushed forward, attempting to strike Mabel Quinn, but was immediately blocked by Edward Quinn.

Edward Quinn gave Camille Grant a cold glance, "What, you dare to hit my daughter?"

Camille Grant trembled instantly, unable to say anything, only able to seek help from her husband.

Christopher Quinn said, "Brother, no matter what, Mabel shouldn’t hit Alessia."
