Unbothered, Gernard strolled over and patted his brother's shoulder, grinning. "So, what's your plan now? I got a little bored and did some digging on the Quin family. Guess what?

With a knowing smirk, Gernard added, "Brother, I couldn't help but notice Jolie and Selena do look a bit alike. Could that be why you...?"
