Chapter 577 Turn Over a New Leaf
It was obvious Aella’d had formal etiquette training.

All this time, Lilian had heard that the Reid girl was spoiled by her parents–loud, arrogant, hot–tempered, and completely unco
But the girl in front of her had a calm, playful smile that made people like her instantly.
She was nothing like the rumors.
Compared to Zera sitting beside her, the difference was like night and day.
No wonder Tyrone had gone for the jugular with Zera and her mother just to protect this girl from the Reids.
Zera wasn’t even worth one of Aella’s fingers.
Lilian quickly shot Zera a look. “Zera, what are you waiting for? Apologize to Mr. Winter and Ms. Reid.”
Prompted by Lilian, Zera scrambled to her feet.
She lowered herself and apologized. “I’m sorry, Ms. Reid, I’m sorry, Mr. Tyrone. What happened before was entirely my fault. I off my sincere apologies to you both.”
Zera sounded perfectly sincere, but Tyrone didn’t react at all.
Tyrone stayed still, so Aella copied him and didn’t move either.
The air went awkward; everyone glanced at each other, at a loss.
Zera hadn’t expected that even after she, a Hill heiress, had humbled herself this much, Tyrone still ignored her–and that little bitch, Aella, was now putting on airs too.
Feeling wronged, Zera looked around the table.
She said, “Ms. Reid, sometimes disagreements can bring people closer. I take full responsibility for what happened before. Can we just start over and put everything behind us?”
Aella glanced at her parents, then at Virginia, and finally at Tyrone.
On the way over, her parents had nagged her a dozen times–Zera had already been punished.
She knew you were supposed to leave people a little room so you could still look each other in the eye later.
But every time she saw Zera, she felt irritated from head to toe.
Aella met Tyrone’s gaze.
Tyrone traced two words in her palm.
Aella got it instantly.
She cleared her throat, stood up, and addressed the table. “Mr. Cunningham was right–it’s better to resolve a grudge than keep it going. But I’ve never been the kind of person who accepts just a verbal apology. What should we do about that?”

Zera’s teeth ached from how hard she was clenching them, but there was nothing the could do.
She picked up the designer handbag she’d brought on purpose and held it out to Aella “Maid, pan apology.”
Aella gave the handbag a quick once–over, then put on a hurt little face. “Ms. Caldwell, ever since we fought
to
every night–dreams of you hitting me and yelling at me. Do you really think everything you did can be with per s handbag?”
Virginia chimed in, “So, you bring an off–season, discounted bag for Ms. Reid–is that becare pet goly because you think she only deserves last–season leftovers?”
As soon as Virginia said that, Zera’s face changed on the spot.
She rushed to explain, “No, Mrs. Winter, that’s not it, I just, I…”
Zera shot a desperate look at Thomas and Lilian, already cursing Virginia up and down in her head
Stupid old woman.
How dare she embarrass me in front of everyone?
The day she married into the Winters, Virginia would be the first person she made pay
Seeing things go sideways, Lilian quickly opened the bag and pulled out a check. “Please don’t be upset, Wimmer The Hills and make sure Ms. Reid is compensated for the emotional distress.”
Seeing that, Aella deliberately looked straight at Zera. “There’s no need to force it, Lilian. Tyrone spends at least 25 miliondoka just buying me snacks. As long as Ms. Caldwell really apologizes from the heart, that’s enough”
Aella deliberately leaned on the words “10 million dollars.”
She was very intentionally jabbing at Zera and at the Hills.
Zera stood there, face burning, fingers digging into the handle of the bag
This little bitch was humiliating her on purpose.
When the Hill couple heard that Tyrone casually spent 10 million on Aella’s snacks, they quietly slid the original check back bag.
They exchanged a look, then Thomas wrote a new check, and Lilian personally handed it to Aelia
Seeing the 20–million–dollar amount made Aella’s heart light up, but she deliberately demured. “Mrs Hill, sunces Cel already apologized, I really shouldn’t take your money. As long as she can turn over a new leaf and be a decent person fgth mate on, that’s enough.”
Zera ground her teeth so hard her jaw hurt, cursing Aella in her heart.
Turn over a new leaf.
Be a decent person.
She might as well grab a megaphone and shout it from the main street–that Zera was now a convicted felon serving our her
