Chapter 313

You don’t even apologize, and now you want to settle this privately?

I’m being lenient by just asking you to beg.

If the police get involved, you are also the one to blame!”

While Elaine’s biting was wrong, it wouldn’t have occurred if Shelia hadn’t provoked her in the first place.

However, if Sheila indeed called the police, it could drag Selah into the situation.

Lately, Selah had become the focal point of public attention, with numerous eyes fixed on her.

If this started to impact Vincent’s open audition, it could pose a problem.

Lindsey tightened her fists.

She had never imagined herself apologizing to Shelia, but for the sake of Elaine and Selah, she was willing to consider it.

“You don’t need to say sorry to her,” Domenic interjected, setting Elaine down and stepping protectively in front of Lindsey.

He faced Shelia with a cold tone.

“She’s not worth your apology.

”

“What did you say, you loser?” Shelia was teetering on the edge of losing her cool.

She pointed a finger at Domenic’s nose and raised her voice.

Domenic’s lips curved slightly, and his eyes turned chilly as he retorted, “Would you be brave enough to label me a loser once more?”

“iihat… What? Are you suggesting you want to harm a woman?”

Seeing the coldness and cruelty on Domenic’s face, Shelia was scared.

This man was just a poor guy, but a potent presence exuding from his body, sending shivers down her spine.

“You? You’re not qualified.

”

“Hey!”

Shelia was about to lose her composure when a man in a suit emerged from the crowd.

He briefly locked eyes with Domenic but swiftly looked away, positioning himself beside Shelia.

“Hello, I’m the general manager of this mall.

”

Upon learning that the mall’s general manager had arrived, Shelia promptly displayed her injured arm, saying, “Sir, I was invited as a special guest for the ribbon-cutting event at your mall, but a naughty child suddenly appeared and bit me.

I requested her guardians to offer an apology, but they declined.

I was about to call the police, but this woman confiscated my phone.

This incident occurred right here in your mall.

If you don’t solve this matter, I won’t let this slide!”

The manager glanced at her and replied indifferently, “Miss, as the honored guest for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, you left without authorization and tried to make things difficult for this lady before the event concluded.

This eventually led to the ensuing incident.

Now, you wish to involve the police.

If the authorities intervene, it will undoubtedly disrupt today’s ribbon-cutting event.

In such a scenario, you would violate our cooperation agreement.

We reserve the right to terminate our collaboration and seek compensation.

”

“What?” Shelia couldn’t believe her ears.

Instead of going after Lindsey and her boyfriend, the mall manager might end their collaboration because of this incident!

This sprawling shopping mall was next to the renowned Dream Amusement Park, making it one of Morcastle’s top shopping destinations.

Shelia’s participation in this ribbon-cutting event was only made possible by Jacob’s connections, and she had hoped to leverage it to enhance her popularity.

If it was canceled, Jacob would undoubtedly be displeased when he learned about it.

“Sir, it was just before the ribbon cutting, so I… I admit it was my mistake.

” At this moment, Shelia didn’t dare to act aggressively, so she reluctantly Lowered her head and offered an apology.

Shelia cast an unwilling glance at Lindsey.

In order not to affect the ribbon-cutting ceremony today, she clenched her teeth and uttered, “Let it go.

She’s just a child.

I won’t hold her accountable.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony is about to commence.

I’ll proceed ahead.

”

The manager nodded in agreement, and with one hand shielding her injured arm, Shelia walked away.
