Peter looked at her kindly and said, “Cassie, isn’t he nice to you? You don’t have to answer me. I know that if he treats you well enough, you won’t want a divorce, let alone hide the fact that you have a child. As a husband, he

is a failure.”

“The Quinn family has always valued relationships. Neither his grandmother nor his parents have had any marital issues. It might be that he isn’t truly a Quinn family member.” Peter let out a smile.

Cassandra, looking guilty and uneasy, responded, “Grandpa Peter, please don’t say that. It’s not entirely his

Cassandra smiled and shook her head.

Orlando stared at her and asked, “What did you talk about with Grandpa?”

“Nothing,” Cassandra replied.

“Really?” he questioned, his expression skeptical.

Cassandra suddenly thought of William questioning her about the car accident, and her emotions surged. She raised her head, looking indifferent as she said, “You won’t believe me anyway. Whatever I say, in your eyes, it’s
