The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 651

Daphne frowned slightly. "Which Mr. Landon?"

"Pierce Landon, CEO of Landon Enterprises."

Daphne's frown deepened. "What does he want?"

"He said he came specifically to offer an apology."

Daphne was curious to see exactly how he intended to apologize. "Let him in."

"Right away, ma'am." The butler left and soon returned, escorting Pierce into the living room.

Pierce carried several expensive gifts in his hands and bowed respectfully. "Mrs. Spencer, it's an honor. I came specifically to apologize."

Daphne remained seated on the sofa, making no move to stand or welcome him.

She already despised this ex-son-in-law for cheating on her daughter during their marriage. Knowing he had also secretly orchestrated the humiliation of her daughter at the banquet only deepened her disgust. Looking at him now, she felt nothing but contempt.

She raised an eyebrow. "Apologize for what?"

Pierce placed the gifts on the coffee table himself, keeping his posture submissive. He didn't sit, but stood politely before her. "At the Sinclair banquet, my original intention was to orchestrate a scenario where I could play the hero and win Riley back. I never meant to hurt her. I know now that I was wrong. Winning someone back requires sincerity, not cheap tricks. I truly hope you can forgive me, Mrs. Spencer."

Daphne cut straight to the point. "Do you actually realize you were wrong, or are you only apologizing because you've been forced into a corner?"

Her implication was obvious: she believed he was only groveling because Landon Enterprises was collapsing under the Spencer family's attacks.
