She never thought that his tiny bit of distrust could hurt her so much, even after all this time.
âNo way, Iâm not saying sorry!â
She hadnât done anything wrong, so why should she apologize?
Saying sorry would be like admitting guilt.
The waiters saw the high-class customers arguing at the restaurant entrance and were too scared to intervene, so they had no choice but to fetch the manager.
When the manager arrived, he attracted the attention of the other customers, many of whom also came over to watch the drama.
Marissa heard the commotion. Rumors were flying that it was Mr. Blanchet arguing with two women;
she couldnât sit still any longer. She asked Veronica to take her to see what the fuss was about.
Marissa pushed through the crowd to see Theo yanking on Ellinorâs collar, demanding she apologize to the bleeding Sophia.
Tears were streaming down Ellinorâs face, but she stubbornly refused to apologize.
Sophia, meanwhile, looked mortified as she tried to mediate.
After seeing this, Marissa was instantly pissed. She stormed over and shoved her grandson away.
âTheo, what the hell are you doing? Do you know Ellinor is pregnant? How could you treat her like this?â
Theo didnât get angry when his grandmother pushed him. âShe caused Sophiaâs wound. She made someone bleed, and yet she refuses to apologize.â
Marissa protected Ellinor while looking at Sophiaâs head. She spotted dried bloodstains on her forehead. âSophia, whatâs the deal? Did Ellinor really cause your injury?â
Sophia awkwardly admitted it. âYes⦠but I believe Ellinor didnât do it on purpose. Granny, hereâs the thing. I tried to stop Ellinor from leaving because I knew you had more to say to her. Maybe she was a bit mad at me, so she pushed me lightly. Really lightly.
I guess Iâm to blame because I lost my balance and fell, hitting my head and causing it to bleed.
Theo saw me bleeding and got upset, so he wanted Ellinor to apologize to me. But Iâm fine. I really am fine.â
After hearing Sophiaâs account, Marissa frowned. She glanced at Theoâs angry face, then turned to look at teary-eyed Ellinor, âEllinor, is what Sophia said true?â
Ellinor looked at Marissa with wide eyes, her mood heavy. She didnât know what to say. âMore or less.â
Marissa was in a bind. âWell, since you started it, Theo isnât wrong to ask you to apologize to Sophia first. I know youâre sensible, so be a good girl and say sorry.â
It seemed like Marissa was taking Ellinorâs side, but she wasnât.
Ellinor was taken aback, and then she laughed sarcastically.
The Blanchet family really were all cut from the same cloth.
She thought Marissa Blanchet would be more reasonable than Theo. But it seemed like she was mistaken. Marissa would definitely trust her grandsonâs wife more.
Why would she trust someone like her?
She wanted her to apologize? Fine!
