Chapter 102
As they approached, Anastasiaâs heart started to race
âOh crap,â Anastasia thought nervously.
Clutching her personal items, she forced a smile and greeted them, âHey there.â
Anastasia recognized Kenny from the TV.
Given Blakeâs current situation, Anastasia felt this greeting was a bit inappropriate, but she didnât know what else to say.
She tried her best to stay cool and not look scared.
Just as Anastasia thought they were here to give her a hard time, Kenny kindly asked, âAre you Ms. Jewell?â
Kenny didnât dare to call Anastasia Mrs. Salstrom because Herman had made it clear that he didnât want their relationship to be public
Their marriage was a secret, unknown to the outside world, suggesting they didnât want to be disturbed, so Kenny naturally didnât dare to spill the beans.
Anastasia nodded, Tm Anastasia, about last night. Iâm sorry.â
Before Anastasia could finish, Kenny quickly said, âLast night was all my foolish sons fault. He offended you. As a father, I didnât discipline him properly. Thatâs my responsibility. I hope you can forgive my foolish sonâs mistake. Blake, apologize to Ms Jewell.â
Lying on the stretcher, Blake said to Anastasia, Iâm sorry. Ms. Jewell, I was drunk last night. Please forgive me.â
Anastasia was baffled. Werenât they here to give her a hard time?
Why were they being so understanding and apologizing?
The Ledfordâs grand entrance naturally drew a crowd.
The spectators were colleagues from inside and outside the company, including design department employees.
Initially, they thought Anastasia was in big trouble, and the Ledfords were here to make her life difficult. But Kennyâs words took them by surprise.
Who was Kenny?
He was the president of Ledford Corporation, and he was apologizing to Anastasia.
In the business world, there werenât many people who could make Kenny apologize. What was Anastasiaâs background?
Lauren, who had initially come downstairs to see off Anastasia, thought they were here to cause trouble and was about to step in to help.
Before Lauren could get there, she saw Kenny respectfully calling Anastasia Ms. Jewell and admitting his mistakes.
Blake had always been a bully in their circle. When had he ever apologized?
Now, he was being carried in to apologize to Anastasia, which was hard to believe
Anastasia was also stunned. Blake, who was so arrogant last night threatening to kill her, was now apologizing?
Was the sun rising from the west?
Seeing Anastasia remain silent, Kenny thought she was reluctant to forgive, and someone immediately handed over a box of jewelry.
âMs. Jewell, this is just a small token of my appreciation Please accept it to calm your nerves,â Kenny said earnestly. âIf you have any other demands, feel free to make them. If itâs within my power, I wonât refuseâ
Anastasia stared at the box of jewelry, regaining her focus, âMr. Ledford, youâre too kind. This is too valuable, and I wouldnât dare to accept itâ
âItâs just a small gift, not valuable at all. You must accept it. If youâre not satisfied, I can have some more sent over.â
Kenny mistakenly thought Anastasia didnât like these and the Salstroms had all the good stuff. These jewelry pieces might not appeal to Anastasia, so he started feeling a bit anxious.
Kennyâs series of actions even stunned Selena, who was getting ready to leave.
In disbelief, Selena turned to Lauren, âIs that Kenny, the president of Ledford Corporation? What is he doing?â
Lauren, annoyed by Selenas bullying of Anastasia, impatiently replied, âCanât you see? The Ledfords are here to apologize to Anastasia.â
