Chapter 59 The Apology That Means Nothing

There. I came, and I apologizedb. /bThat should be the end of it, right?

That was what Sharon thought.

But the next moment Louis’s voice grew colder. “And?”

And?

Sharon quickly remembered everything Louis bhad /bsaid before they came here.

It was obvious now: I wasn’t just here bto /bapologize. I had bto /bbget /bbSte’s /bforgiveness.

Staring into Ste’s mocking eyes, Sharon felt her entire chest burn with anger.

The way Ste was acting now. was forgiveness even possible!

Anyway…

Sharon closed her

eyes. “Can you forgive bme/b?”

The words made her blood boil.

She thought, if Ste had any sense at all, she would realize that even my brother—someone with Louis‘ status—hade personally.

iIf /ishe knew what was good for her, she’d leave her here.

But… Ste calmly put down her ss, ignored Sharon, and turned her eyes to Louis.

“Mr. Louis, your sister still seems quite stubborn. bWould /byou say this is what sincerity looks like?”

“You…”

Sharon’s temper nearly exploded bat /bthose words.

Ste’s eyes remained on Louis. “Mr. Louis?”

His face darkened. He nced at Sharon, whose posture clearly showed no real remorse.

His tone bwas /bbsharper /bnow, full of warning. b“/bbThis /bbis /byourst bchance/b.”

Sharon felt her heart bsink/b.

Facing Ste at this moment, she felt nothing but humiliation

Fine. She wants to y it that way? Then don’t expect to ever live peacefully in the Reed family again.

I will make bsure /bthat Jonathan knows everything that has happened today. And then let’s see if the Reeds would ever give Ste another…

The word “cent hadn’t even fully formed in her mind when she paused.

Looking baround /bat the luxurious office band /bthe tailored professional attire Ste bwas /bwearing today…

Sharon suddenly understood why all the recent warnings from the Reeds had fallen on deaf ears.

It is because Ste didn’t need ba /bsingle cent from the Reeds.

Of course ishe /idid. That exined why she dared to act so arrogantly and disregard everything they tried to pressure her with

Ste finally spoke. “Mr. Louis, if your sister doesn’t want to, don’t force her. This kind of reluctant apology, and you still expect me to forgive her? What do you think, Mr. Louis? Should I or shouldn’t I?”

Her tone bwas /blight, but there was no mistaking the undertone.

If she refused. it seemed harsh

But if she agreed, is Sharon’s apology even worth forgiving?

In bone /bsentence, Ste had thrown the decision bback /binto Louis hands.

His chest rose and fell in frustration.

He red at Sharon. “Get out.”

I knew exactly what Ste had meant.

Sharon would not be forgiven.

She was joined at the hip with Lillian and had been making Ste’s life miserable long beforest night’s bincident/b.

Last night was nothingpared to the past.

Then he turned a blind eye.

Now that Abraham had shown up and personally made amends, things were different. If Ste really had Abraham behind her, whether or bnot /bshe forgave Sharon depended solely on her mood.

And Ste had every right to be stubborn.

bBut /bSharon, clueless as ever, still didn’t realize that and yet had the nerve bto/b…

Louis‘ eyes

grew colder as he stared at her.

Sharon didn’t want to stay anyway. She quickly btook /bthe opportunity to run out of the office.

When only Ste and Louis were left, he pulled out a cigarette, but when he saw no ashtray on the table, he put it back in his pocket

He got to the point. “Ms. Dawson, may I ask, what exactly is your rtionship with Mr. Abrahamb?/b”

Ste replied with banother /bquestion. “What do you think?”

She didn’t bother to give me a real answer,

Louis looked at her. Their beyes /bmet, and there was a faint glint of amusement in hers

That look made him lose focus for a second.

He raised his hands in a slight shrug. b“Your /bproblem with Sharon should not affect my partnership with him.”

“I do not interfere with your partnership, nor bwill /bI influence bhis /bdecisionsb.” /b

Is that so?” Louis asked.

Tve already told him not to bget /bso worked up about me. As for bSharon/b, well, she’s your bresponsibility /bto manage.”

With that, Ste’s bposition /bwas clear.
