CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: SHE ISN’T

Melody Thorne glanced down at their clasped hands and immediately pulled hers back. "Don’t let anyone discover our relationship."

Jared Quinn "..."

He followed her out, his expression somewhat displeased.

Everyone was looking at the scene outside, so no one noticed she was leaving with Jared Quinn.

Ivy’s face remained pale. That fool had just whispered something in her ear, and in anger, she pushed him. But she didn’t expect him to be pushed so far and get hit by a car.

"Miss Adler, Miss Adler, can you explain why you pushed Young Master Adler?"

"Did you do it on purpose?"

"Miss Adler, isn’t he your brother?"

"Miss Adler, there’s a rumor outside that the Adler Family is deliberately trying to seize all the inheritance meant for Young Master Adler?"

A large group of reporters suddenly emerged, surrounding the Quinn Family’s gate, while the ambulance had already taken Caleb to the hospital.

Almost all members of the Adler Family turned pale.

"Who is spreading such rumors?" Vincent Adler snapped, his face darkening immediately. "Our Adler Family is only managing it for now. If Caleb were to manage it, he might ruin the Adler Family!"

"Then how do you explain Miss Adler’s behavior just now? Our cameras just captured the moment Miss Adler pushed Young Master Adler."

It was evident that those reporters were paid off beforehand, each question sharper than the last.

"I didn’t do it on purpose; I was just playing around with him. I didn’t expect him to crash out like that," Ivy said, then immediately covered her face and cried, "I didn’t do it on purpose, I really didn’t."

"Alright, everyone, please disperse," Mrs. Quinn consoled Ivy. "You’ve all seen it; it wasn’t intentional. Break it up, break it up."

"Mrs. Quinn, is it true you’ve always intended for Miss Adler to become your daughter-in-law?"

Reporters never miss a chance to blow up any piece of news. All eyes and microphones turned to Mrs. Quinn as she spoke.

Even Ivy’s fake crying and pitiful act diminished a little,

Mrs. Quinn smiled, as she indeed hoped, "Ivy has always been my favorite since she was little, so I..."

"She isn’t."

"She’s not my dad’s choice."

Before Mrs. Quinn could finish, two voices suddenly interjected.

Jared Quinn and Quentin Quinn exchanged a glance, showing a rare moment of father-son agreement.

Ivy’s hands were nearly digging into her skin. She hosted an event at the Quinn residence to make everyone consider her as the future Mrs. Quinn, but now she was being denied in front of so many reporters.

Even if she wanted to cling to Jared Quinn in the future, no one would believe her.

"So, who is the chosen Mrs. Quinn?" The reporters pressed on, relentless. "What did Mrs. Quinn want to say just now?"

"Nothing, nothing," Mrs. Quinn glanced at her son. She couldn’t publicly go against him in front of everyone, especially with her grandson present, but she also didn’t want to embarrass Ivy. "I was just saying I would like to take Ivy as my goddaughter."

"Aren’t you going to the hospital to cover the story of Young Master Adler’s injury? Someone might grab that scoop first," Melody Thorne remarked, uninterested in their drama.

But she was worried that the Adler Family might make a move against Caleb while he was injured, so she reminded those reporters,

If they went to keep watch, the Adler Family would have no chance to act.
