"So, I only want to act in your place to get her to improve her memory. Knowing that she's done something wrong, she should apologize. If she doesn't want to lower that proud head, then she had better not make such a mistake again. That way, she'll remember it next time. Wouldn't you say?"
Wilson didn't have a reply to that for the moment.
Mulling it over, it actually somewhat made sense.
So he didn't say anything about it.
Natalia smiled at Jessica.
"Then start apologizing now, please!"
Jessica's face turned an array of different colors. Looking at Natalia's pleased expression, she wanted to rip her to shreds right then and there.
Biting her lower lip, she looked, humiliated, over at Wilhelm.
The old man, though, wore a severe, tightly wound expression, not even once looking at her.
Jessica's gut took a blow.
She looked at Matthew, who simply nodded slightly at her, and knew there was no room to budge over this.
No matter how much she didn't want to, she could only walk up and say to Misty, "I'm sorry."
Misty had worked at the Kawn family household for two years. She usually had to be perfectly reverent of the masters of the house, and they'd never once apologized to her.
Losing her nerve, she waved it off.
"I-It's fine."
Fists clenched, Jessica grit her teeth and walked to another guest, repeating, "I'm sorry."
The guest took a hurried step back and said it was fine as well.
Jessica proceeded towards the next guest.
It went on for half an hour before she'd finished apologizing to the guests.
Jessica swore she'd never apologized so much in her life. Most people, considering the Kawn family reputation, didn't make too much of it or show any funny faces.
But a few of them still couldn't hold in their laughter.
With an atmosphere like this, the laughs were clearly mocking.
Jessica's face instantly turned ugly, swelling almost purple.
Meanwhile, Wilhelm had seen enough. He had someone push his wheelchair straight into the lounge.
Half an hour later, the "apology party" eventually ended.
And the birthday banquet ended with that comedic scene.
Having seen the show and finished their celebrations, the guests naturally dispersed.
Natalia, pleased with the results, deliberately said goodbye to Wilhelm before she left.
Wilhelm was so angry his brows seemed to merge with his eyes, and he didn't even look at her.
But Natalia didn't mind. She said goodbye with a smile before leaving with Anne.
On the other side, Ein Bissel looked at everything that had happened that night. Even though he didn't say anything, he was already starting to get dissatisfied with Jessica.
He wanted to arm up against the McCarthy family, yes, so even though he'd known about Jessica's past and the grudge she had with Natalia, he didn't care so long as she brought that 15% Kawn family share as her dowry.
But that didn't mean he was willing to let his son marry a moron who was only good for getting in trouble!
In Ein's eyes, whether Jessica had tried to do Anne in was irrelevant.
The important thing was, she didn't have the ability to resolve the trouble she started herself.
