CHAPTER 454: CHAPTER 454: APOLOGIZED

"Right now, Sophie Wilson has Charles Seymour backing her, and Charles has the support of the Old Mr. Seymour. You won’t win against them," Old Mrs. Wilson said with a sigh. "If you truly want what’s best for the Wilson Clan and Benjamin, you should apologize."

"You don’t have to say it yourself; just publish it online and in the newspapers," Old Mrs. Wilson looked at Emerie Wilson’s indignant expression and asked, "Do you want to see both the Wilson Clan and Benjamin’s company get ruined by Sophie Wilson?"

"Don’t be upset, just endure for a while. Once we form an alliance with the Seymour Family and cooperate with Peace Corporation, Charles Seymour’s backing from Old Mr. Seymour won’t be of much use. Then, if you want revenge, it won’t be too late," Old Mrs. Wilson analyzed for Emerie Wilson.

"Emerie, it’s okay, if you don’t want to apologize, then don’t," Benjamin Walton said gently. "I can hold on a little longer."

The more Benjamin Walton said this, the worse Emerie Wilson felt.

Benjamin could go this far for her, and sacrificing a bit for him would be good.

But still, she felt so angry inside!

Now that the matter was settled, Emerie Wilson didn’t want to stay longer. She hurried down the stairs without even saying goodbye to Ophelia Wilson and left directly.

Benjamin Walton anxiously chased after her: "Emerie, don’t run, be careful with your heart!"

Ophelia Wilson watched this scene unfold, and there wasn’t much she didn’t understand.

Emerie Wilson indeed compromised.

So, two days later, Emerie Wilson’s apology letter was simultaneously published online and in the newspapers.

There was also an explanation from the Wilson Clan about why it took so long to publish the apology—not because Emerie Wilson had been ill and in hospital for treatment.

Besides Emerie Wilson apologizing, Old Mrs. Wilson also expressed apology, taking a very humble stance, which ultimately led many netizens to forgive them.

After all, they’re of such an advanced age.

"Did they really apologize?" Clarissa Taylor looked at the full-page apology in the newspaper in surprise.

"If they don’t apologize, Wilson Corporation’s business can’t continue. The Wilson Clan now wants to join forces with the Seymour Family to secure Peace Corporation’s cooperation, so Emerie must come forward to apologize," Mason Wilson said without much surprise.

"If I’m not mistaken, the one who convinced Emerie was Benjamin Walton. My dad must have pushed Benjamin to the front," Mason Wilson said with a bitter smile, understanding his father to be a man who prioritizes profit.

Just like this time when he left the Wilson Clan—in his father’s eyes, it was merely a temporary expedient.

Once the cooperation with Peace Corporation is confirmed, his father would contact him to come back, ensuring nothing gets delayed.

Except his father calculated everything but forgot to account for human emotions.

How can a wounded heart return to what it once was?

"Too complicated," Clarissa Taylor furrowed her brows, saying with a headache.

Mason Wilson smiled, giving her a bun, and said: "You don’t need to worry about these things."

Clarissa is different from him; he has been rolling around in the deceitful world of business since childhood, but Clarissa is much more naive.

This is why initially, when they suspected Sophie was their daughter, Clarissa was eager to recognize her immediately, whereas he chose to investigate first.

He’s seen too many fraudsters; not just outsiders, but for the sake of profit, how many people disregard family bonds.

He had to be cautious because he wanted to protect his wife and daughter.

After investigating thoroughly and seeing what Ophelia Wilson did, it was then that he decided he should abandon her.
