Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 586

586 /635

Pages of carefully crafted scripts were placed on the table in a purely procedural manner, already reviewed and selected by the three Mercer men.

Bella glanced at it. “She has to memorize all of this?”

It was a little after six in the morning. The apology livestream was scheduled for nine.

At best, that left less than three hours. Expecting a middle-aged woman to memorize so much content in such a short time, and then deliver it naturally and smoothly on camera, was a tall order.

The head of the PR department, struggling to stay awake, said, “Miss Ward, we didn’t have a choice. We didn’t originally intend for all of it to be memorized. But the three Mr. Mercers felt it was necessary for her to review and remember it all.

It’s a lot, and it would be perfectly understandable if she can’t memorize everything.

But please, just try to remember as much as possible.

The language is very standard. The more apologies she can offer, the more sincere it will appear.”

Bella felt nothing but humiliation as she listened.

She and her mother had finally won against Lillian, only to end up having to apologize to her on a live broadcast for the entire world to see.

This was absolute torture.

“It’s so much stuff, and you’re telling her to just remember what she can. Why don’t you try it? There are barely two hours left. What can anyone possibly memorize in that time?

Besides, can’t you consider her state of mind right now? She’s already upset and panicking, and you want her to memorize all this? Isn’t that going too far?

We agreed to an apology, but not like this. Standing in front of a camera, fine, no problem.

An apology, right? Isn’t just saying ‘I’m sorry’ enough?”

Her sharp words silenced the PR head. When Bella laid into someone, she really did resemble the formidable Miss Ward of legend. It seemed she’d had plenty of practice dressing people down at the Blake Group.
