However, Kyle Kinston was slow to respond.

The driver couldn’t help but ask again. In the next moment, Kyle’s hand suddenly slammed heavily against the car window glass, startling the driver immensely. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Meanwhile, Dorian Howards looked knowingly at his friend. If the Kinston Family could easily let things go, then they wouldn’t be bound by their so-called fateful reliance, and it would merely be like "medicine".

...

At the same time, on the Quinn Family’s side, upon seeing the news article, Edward Quinn was furious and assembled the Quinn Family members to inquire whether anyone from the Quinn Family was involved.

Naturally, no one present admitted. Taking the opportunity, Christopher Quinn said, "But big brother, this kind of news is not good for the Quinn Family’s reputation. Perhaps the PR team should explain, and you and Mabel should avoid suspicion as well."

"Explain, avoid suspicion?" Edward Quinn sneered, "Am I supposed to welcome someone when they come at me with a knife and even extend my neck to them? I’ll have the lawyers file a lawsuit. Additionally, mother left a will stating that the 5% stake in her hands is meant for Mabel. So regardless of whether Mabel is blood-related to the Quinn Family or not, she’s part of the Quinn Family now. If anyone tries to make an issue of her lineage in the future, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

This announcement by Edward Quinn shocked everyone present in the Quinn Family. It was clear that Edward had no intention of compromising with such news while also taking Mabel Quinn under his protection.

Alessia Quinn was both shocked and jealous that Mabel Quinn got 5% of the Quinn Group’s shares out of nowhere. On the other hand, she was also scared, unsure of how the news surfaced. But she was aware that she complained to Indigo Quigley, hinting at suspicions about her uncle’s inappropriate relationship with Mabel and mentioning that if her uncle really married Mabel in the future, she would have no standing in the Quinn Family.

Could Indigo Quigley have leaked these details to the reporters, leading to this news article? If the investigation eventually traced back to her, then... she’d be doomed!

At this moment, Alessia Quinn was extremely uneasy.

The next morning, although the Quinn Family had leveraged public relations efforts to quell part of the news overnight, it was still the internet era. Such matters could not be fully suppressed immediately.

Because when Mabel Quinn arrived at the studio, she noticed that several colleagues looked at her with peculiar glances. Alice Conley rushed over to Mabel and said, "Mabel, about that news..."

"I know, my uncle called me yesterday to give me the heads-up," Mabel replied.

"That’s good." Alice sighed in relief. She had only heard about this from colleagues today. It just showed how some reporters are truly irresponsible, writing baseless stories to grab attention.

However, at this moment, Indigo Quigley sneered on the side, "Some people really have no shame, seducing even their own uncle. I wonder if they’re planning to become the future mistress of the Quinn Family? Well, since there’s no blood relationship, it’s legal anyway. But they have no sense of shame, just got dumped by Mr. Kinston, and already jumping into the arms of an older man. If Mr. Kinston found out..."
