Mia could tell that Micheal was really angry at her. He had always been kind and gentle to her. In fact, she was a spoiled sister. But now, he seemed so rude. He even called her by her full name, which he only did when he was annoyed.
So despite her reluctance, she had no choice but to come to him.
As soon as she reached the door of the ward, Micheal said, "Miss Jones, this is Mia Robinson, my younger sister. Do you remember her?" He then pushed her into the ward.
When Gabrielle saw the young woman in a short denim skirt and white shirt, she immediately recognized her.
"Aren't you that woman who wanted to jump off the bridge?" she asked, scanning Mia's face.
Then she remembered what happened last night. She saw that Mia was about to jump off the bridge, so she rushed over to stop her. She fell into the river because she pulled Mia away from the bridge.
But why did Micheal bring Mia to see her?
"I actually didn't want to jump," Mia said indifferently, raising her chin like a proud princess.
"Mia! Have you forgotten why I brought you here?" Micheal snapped, glaring at her.
Mia's attitude changed at once. She put away her arrogance and obediently walked towards Gabrielle's bed. "Hello, Miss Jones. My name is Mia Robinson. I'm here to apologize for what happened last night. Although I didn't personally push you into the river, I was the reason why you fell down. I'm so sorry. I hope you can forgive me."
After saying those words, she bowed deeply. Gabrielle was so shocked that she almost jumped out of her bed.
"Miss Robinson, you don't have to do this. Actually, what happened last night is not a big deal. No need to bow in front of me. As long as you are safe, everything's fine with me." No one had ever bowed to Gabrielle like this before, so she had the urge to do the same to Mia.
"Miss Jones, I just want to show you that I am sincere. If you want anything, just tell me. I will ask Micheal to fulfill all your wishes. He is the current CEO of Robinson Group, so he is capable of giving you everything."
Mia was obviously showing off Micheal.
Upon hearing Mia's words, Gabrielle couldn't help but glance at the man. No wonder he looked so imposing. It turned out that he was the CEO of Robinson Group.
At that moment, some men entered the ward with gifts and flowers in their hands. They were Micheal's men. He then took out a check, handed it to Gabrielle, and said, "Miss Jones, this is a gift to show my gratitude. Please accept it." Gabrielle lowered her head and looked at the check in front of her.
It was one million dollars.
'Wow! Rich people are really generous. I only pulled Mia away from the bridge, but I receive such a generous reward, ' she thought inwardly.
"Mr. Robinson, you don't need to pay me for what I did," Gabrielle directly refused. She didn't touch even the edge of the check.
For her, it wasn't hard-earned money, so she didn't want to take it.
"Miss Jones, I know that you don't lack money. But you deserve this." Micheal's tone became stiff.
He got the information about Gabrielle last night. Indeed, she was Westley's wife. Their wedding was so low-key that no outsiders and media were invited. Even their marriage certificates were issued at the venue of their wedding, so only a few people knew about it.
It turned out that Nellie, Westley's fiancee, ran away with Bryce, Gabrielle's brother, before the wedding.
The Jones let Gabrielle marry Westley to atone for Bryce's mistake. What Bryce did had nothing to do with her, but they dragged her into the mess.
She was innocent, and she was only used.
"Miss Jones, just take it. If you refuse to accept it, I won't forgive myself. You certainly don't know that my brother has jumped into the river
to save you. Like in movies, he's the hero who saves the beauty. So please, accept his kind offer." This time, Mia tried to coax Gabrielle by praising Micheal's braveness in front of him. She didn't want to be locked up at home later because she didn't do a good job.
