Hannah couldn’t help but roll her eyes as she listened from the side.
If they truly didn’t want this to be a public spectacle, then why did everyone in the Gonzales family already know about it?
Even an outsider like her had heard the whole thing.
Keira said, “Tammie was the one who told me.”
Amanda immediately chided, “Tammie really is too much—Ann specifically told him to keep it a secret, and yet he still ran to you with it.”
She paused for a moment, then continued, her voice tinged with pride, “Mom, if you ever want to buy another one of Father Quinten’s calligraphy works, it’ll be easy now. Ann has over eighty million followers on TikTok, and Father Quinten thinks the world of her!”
By the end, Amanda couldn’t quite hide her smugness.
In the Gonzales family, aside from her precious daughter, who else could claim such an honor?
Caitlin? Please.
Caitlin probably couldn’t even get an appointment with Father Quinten if she tried.
Keira found the whole thing a bit odd and pressed, “How exactly did Ann become such a benefactor to Father Quinten? Are you sure there isn’t some misunderstanding? Amanda, you’d better look into this carefully—don’t let us become a laughingstock.”
The Gonzales family held an influential place in the Capital, and Father Quinten was a legend in the art world. Now this whole affair had become a sensation online. Keira was worried that if things went awry, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
Amanda barely managed to contain a scoff.
Of course—always showing favoritism.
Ann being Father Quinten’s benefactor must be some kind of mistake? Was Keira trying to quietly shift the credit to Caitlin instead?
Too bad for her!
Father Quinten’s benefactor was her own daughter, and Caitlin could only dream of taking that away.
She forced a smile. “Mom, you really don’t need to worry. Ann isn’t the type to seek personal gain. When she helped Father Quinten, she never expected anything in return. Did you know? She actually helped him last June, but it wasn’t until recently that he managed to find her!”
Keira nodded, but her tone was all warning as she replied, “Still, ever since that whole Somerset business, I’ve realized Ann can be reckless. You need to keep a closer eye on her—make sure she doesn’t cause any more trouble.”
