Danis looked at his sister in the video and found her strange, totally different from her usual gentle and weak appearance. Then something in the past flashed through his mind like movies. For example, how his sister was pushed down by Angela and how she poured a teapot of hot water on Angela accidentally.
At that moment, he felt chill all over and his body was covered in a cold sweat.
He couldn't believe that his sister was such an evil one! She should be kind! He also couldn't believe that his sister had cheated him for so many years!
It was 2 p.m. in the afternoon. Normally, there wouldn't be many people in Dream Club. But with Danis kneeling here, it was crowded with people, similar to peak times.
The Smiths were rich and famous in City B and quite famous in the upper circle. When hearing that Danis was kneeling here to apologize to Angela, they came to watch the fun.
Danis knelt in front of the club and withstood the gaze from the crowd, gloating, sympathetic, or disgusted. He blushed out of shame. He wanted to leave but held on to the end. Back then, Angela was punished for kneeling and being mocked because of him. Was she abject like this?
She was such a proud and dignified girl. How was she feeling when being insulted like that? She must be one hundred times more embarrassed than he was now, right?
People who were close to the Smiths came over and said, "What your sister did almost ruined Angela. No matter how long you knelt, she may not forgive you!"
"There is no point for your kneeling here, better get up!"
After saying this, the man signaled the one beside him to help Danis together.
Danis struggled and pushed them away. He knelt on the ground again and said, "Forget about me, you guys go."
He clenched his fist, holding back the shame of being surrounded by people, and shouted, "Angela, I'm sorry, I've wronged you!"
The gazes of onlookers made Danis blush even more. He clenched his fist, bore the shame of being judged, and shouted, "Angela, sorry, I wronged you."
Someone recorded a video of him while commenting happily, "Look, the young master of the Smith Group was kneeling in front of the club to apologize to Angela!"
This man was the business rival of the Smith Group and he always had been at odds with Danis. Now, he recorded the video without restrictions and said in a louder voice to make sure that Danis could hear him.
The person who recorded the video was the Smith Group's business rival, usually at odds with Danis in every way. At this time, he blatantly recorded the video, and when he spoke, he even increased the volume to make sure Danis could hear him.
Danis tensed his handsome face with his eyes falling on that man sharply. He could feel that his face was burning.
Seeing the man's gloating eyes, Danis clenched his fist and wanted to stand up. But finally, he held back the desire and withdrew his gaze as if he had heard nothing.
When Angela was kneeling on the ground while being taunted by Cathleen, him, and others, she could also only pretend to be deaf, right?
He felt it a torment after only kneeling here for less than two hours. How did Angela get through those times?
He also thought of when Angela wanted to commit suicide by crashing into a car, he couldn't help but feel sadness went through all his body.
Angela was a reckless one in her first 18 years, when was she humiliated like this?
When she was working at Dream Club, she not only had to do hard work, but also should bear mental humiliations. No wonder she couldn't stand it and wanted to commit suicide...
