Ian Quincy stared at her, suddenly thinking it wouldn't be such a bad thing if she knew Lucas Lee wasn't her biological father. At least she wouldn't have to brood over the fact that her father didn't love her. After a long internal struggle, he said, "Honey, have you ever wondered if you were adopted?"
Cecilia Adler replied dejectedly, "Of course I have. But I trust my mother's character."
Ian Quincy didn't know how to respond. His wife was right.
If Lucas Lee wasn't her biological father, Cecilia's mother would face accusations from all sides.
His father had said that when Lucas Lee returned to the city, he had relied on Cecilia's mother's connections.
Now he was gaining both fame and fortune thanks to Cecilia, taking full advantage of both mother and daughter. And yet, in the end, he was the one everyone pitied.
People would even say, 'It's a good thing you left that woman back then, or you would've been played for a complete fool.'
