Tiffany’s eyes filled with tears. “Mrs. Perez, it’s just that I’m not lucky enough to be your daughter-in-law.””Don’t say that, dear. You’re a sweet, thoughtful girl, and your luck will come in time,” Mrs. Perez consoled her before calling Quincy over.Quincy approached, but he kept a noticeable distance from Tiffany, not wanting any association with her.

You refuse to fulfill it, so I’ll settle for Tiffany becoming my daughter. She can be your sister instead. That should be acceptable, right?” “Mom, I already have a sister. Mabel is standing right here,” Quincy replied, exasperated. He couldn’t believe his mother’s persistence. She wasn’t even that old, but she was acting like she had lost her mind.If she had really wanted another child, she could have had one back then. Modern medicine had come a long way. She could have gone abroad and had another child through IVF if she wanted to choose the gender. He was still reeling from the time his mother drugged him and locked him in a room with Tiffany. Nothing had happened, but it had been beyond awkward.And now she wanted them to call each other siblings? It was absurd.”Mabel calls me aunt, so it’s not the same. Quincy, I’m not forcing you to be with Tiffany. I just want to adopt her as a daughter, and for you to treat her as a sister. Is that really so difficult for you?” Mrs. Perez began to play the sympathy card again, her eyes welling up with tears.”Mom, if you want to adopt her, fine. Do what you want, but I don’t need another sister. From now on, we’ll each do our own thing,” Quincy said, giving in to her wishes but refusing to play along with this bizarre request.Mrs. Perez didn’t push further.Adopting Tiffany as her “daughter” was just a pretext. Her real intention was to keep Tiffany close, giving her a legitimate reason to stay in Quincy’s life. Now that Quincy had begrudgingly agreed, he couldn’tpush Tiffany away. For the rest of the day, Mrs. Perez kept Quincy by her side, complaining about headaches and hunger, using every excuse to keep him in the hospital room.By the next morning, Quincy,exhausted and with dark circles under his eyes, was finally allowed to leave. Alright, go home and get some sleep. You don’t need to come see me today. Tiffany will be here to take care of me, so don’t worry.” Quincy reluctantly left, while Mrs. Perez wore a satisfied smile. With an entire day having passed, she assumed Lydia had been thoroughly torn apart by the online mob by now. There was no way her son and Lydia would ever get back together. However, what she hadn’t anticipated was that Lydia’s parents, the Fay family, wouldn’t just sit back and accept the situation. And adding to the chaos was Eugene, someone who thrived on stirring trouble.Eugene wasted no time. He went online and exposed Quincy’s affair, revealing how it led to Lydia’s miscarriage. He even hired online marketers to spread stories about Quincy and Tiffany’s so-called “romantic relationship.”While the Perez family was busy playing their hospital charade, they weren’t paying attention to what was happening online.It wasn’t until Quincy arrived at hisoffice that his secretary, looking frazzled and near tears, rushed over. His hair was practically falling out from stress. “Mr. Perez, what do we do about the online scandal? People have been flooding our social media with hate comments all morning, and it’s really damaging our reputation!” The situation had blown up to such an extent that even employees were being harassed on their way to and from work, and the company’s reputation was taking a massive hit. Quincy was even given the nickname “Trash Quincy” by online commenters.”What scandal?” Quincy asked, his head still spinning. He assumed it was just a competitor trying to smear him.
