Senior Zimmer smiled, his eyes glinting. "Mandy, I know you feel wronged and you're mad at us. I apologize for not trusting you wholeheartedly before. Sean, Zack, come over and apologize to Mandy as well!"
Sean and Zack Zimmer glanced at one another awkwardly. They were already used to having people bow to them. To have either of them to apologize to Mandy, the family's outcast, proved difficult indeed.
The thing was, they had little choice but to do so.
Taking in a deep breath as he faced Mandy Zimmer, Zack Zimmer bowed his body slightly and apologized. "Mandy, this time it's my fault that I caused all of this trouble. Please forgive me."
A wicked grin flashed briefly across his face as he kept his head down, but he hid it well.
On the other hand, Sean Zimmer grinned like a Cheshire cat and said, "Mandy, now that Zack has apologized, as your uncle I will also apologize to you. I promise the same thing will never happen again. Can you visit York Enterprise for my sake?"
"For your sake! You father and son are all bullshit!" From within the crowd, Lilian Yates let out a yell of protest. She was always a dominant person, and had been suppressing her anger ever since the investment Mandy had acquired from the Yorks was snatched away. Now, she was seizing the chance to express all o
f her fury and resentment. "Sweet-talking Mandy when you need her and then kicking her away when you don’t, who do you think you are? Doing as you please whenever you want!"
"Lilian, this is a problem that could change the Zimmers' fate after all. Do you think you’ll live comfortably if our family ever becomes bankrupt?" Sean Zimmer replied darkly.
Upon hearing the word 'bankrupt', Lilian shuddered slightly. She had always lived the life of a privileged woman. The thought of her turning poor was simply too much.
Thinking of this, she changed her attitude slightly. She flashed Mandy a hesitant glance. "Mandy, why don't you help out this time too?"
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to help. The chances of me succeeding are too low." Mandy stomped the floor i n frustration. This wasn't a simple matter at all. If she failed, the fault and responsibility would be all hers! Zack Zimmer was only trying to find a scapegoat to bear the consequences of what he did!
