Chapter 1129
Stella was already in a lot of pain from the injury. Her head hurt even more when the woman suddenly approached her and apologized. “Please get up. There’s no need to make a scene,” said Stella.
The woman was no longer arrogant. She shook her head and started to choke up. “No… I’m ashamed of myself. I shouldn’t have been biased after seeing a few one-sided comments on the internet, and I shouldn’t have hurt you on impulse. I’m truly sorry.”
Seeing that her sister was about to be arrested, the little girl on the side was terrified. “P-Please don’t let the police take my sister, miss. Please…” She cried and pleaded.
Stella pressed her lips together and patted the kid’s head. She turned to Marshall and said, “Let’s send her home first.”
Marshall nodded, but the little girl was hesitant to go. She held onto Stella and asked, “Are you going to let my sister go, miss?”
Stella did not answer her question. Instead, she said, “She’ll be back.”
The kid did not get the hidden meaning behind Stella’s words. Hearing that, the little girl felt relieved and whispered, “Thank you.”
After the child had left, Stella set her eyes on the woman once more. “Get up,” she said calmly.
“I’m not getting up until you forgive me,” the woman sobbed. She knew that her action was caught on CCTV, and she would face severe consequences if Stella pushed forward with the investigation. Once detained, she would likely be suspended from school, and her dreams of graduating would be crushed. More than a decade of hard work would instantly turn into nothing.
However, the school would go through with some motions and give her a warning if Stella forgave her. She could also take her finals and graduate with success if the news died down. Therefore, everything came down to Stella’s view of the matter.
‘She has to forgive me now that I’m begging her in front of so many people. Pushing the case forward won’t help with her established image of tolerance and generosity,’ thought the young adult.
