“Who told you to do this? Are you insane? Making my mother livestream apologies for a month?
Brandon, this is personal revenge! I'm telling you, as a major shareholder of the Mercer Group, I strongly object to this. What you're doing is trampling on my and my mother's dignity and reputation.
What's more, I'm about to marry Sebastian! You're making Sebastian's mother-in-law do a live online apology for a month straight. How is he and the Blake family supposed to face anyone?”
On the other end of the line, Brandon said nothing. It sounded like the call was on speaker, and he had simply tossed the phone aside.
Bella's anger boiled over. She vented her fury, but it felt like punching a wad of cotton.
Utterly useless.
“Brandon, are you even listening to me? I said, I do not agree to this!”
Finally, a voice came from the other end.
Brandon's voice was clear. “You're just marrying Sebastian, not God Almighty.” With that single sentence, the call was disconnected.
Bella stared at her phone, wanting nothing more than to smash it to pieces.
But then she remembered the last time she threw her phone in the office and how it sparked endless curiosity and speculation from everyone outside, so she forced herself to rein in her emotions.
Her words were useless; Brandon wouldn't listen to a thing she said. Bella immediately called Sabrina.
At that moment, Sabrina was comfortably enjoying a special patient meal in her hospital room, which Martin had specifically ordered for her.
Made with top-quality ingredients, it was delicious.
“It's not about being cursed at. It's Brandon and the others. They've issued an official company announcement that you will be livestreaming apologies for the next month.”
“What?”
Bella heard a loud clatter from the other end of the phone.
In her shock and fury, Sabrina had knocked over her meal tray. The utensils clanged as they hit the floor, and food spilled onto the hospital bed. She was utterly speechless.
Believing she must have misheard, she asked again, “Bella, say that again. What's going on? Livestreaming apologies for a month? Did I hear that right? I have to do a livestream apology to Lillian for a month?”
“Mom, you heard correctly. It was an official announcement from the Mercer Group. It looks like even Martin doesn't know about this.”
“He was with me all morning and just left a little while ago. Of course he doesn't know. So you're saying this is all Brandon and that group at the company's doing?”
