She learned that the only thing she could do was get her to calm down first, so that she can reason with her and get her to apologize to Dory!
Selina then said to Tremaine, "Tremaine, my daughter was wrong and I will certainly discipline her for it and get to apologize to Dory. But before she does, you need to get your subordinate to apologize to her."
Tremaine didn't think she was serious.
Why would he make Sheldon apologize to this rude little girl?!
He ordered Sheldon to punish her after all!
Sheldon didn't do anything wrong!
Since he did nothing wrong, there was nothing to apologize for!
Tremaine said, "Mrs. Perry, it seems you've lost your common sense being the wife of a rich man. Sheldon is the major general of Nashaland! Do you seriously expect him to apologize to your daughter? Do you know what you're talking about?"
Selina sneered.
She said, "Of course I know what I'm talking about!
I don't care who he is! He's done something wrong, so he must apologize!''
"Impossible." Tremaine said, "Sheldon didn't do anything wrong. This was all your daughter's fault. Instead of disciplining your child, you're making other people apologize to her for nothing! You've really got your priorities mixed up, Mrs. Whitlock! You're quite cocky!"
Tremaine sneered as he said this.
He looked straight into Selina's eyes and continued, "Of course, you are free to act as you please with other people, Mrs. Whitlock. But, not with me. Next to me, you are nothing, so save me your indignant and arrogant attitude. You can't tell me or my men to do anything."
Selina was now furious at Tremaine.
She shouted back at Tremaine, "I've never acted cocky with anyone, and I've certainly never insulted anybody! Don't spread such nonsense! I'm not trying to push my weight around to get my way! You bullied my daughter!"
"You may be the president of Nashaland, and your subordinates may be from Nashaland, but I will never allow you to bully my daughter!"
