Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self (Angela and Joseph) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 An Apology Doesn’t Quite Cut It 

Jonathan had gotten used to such situations. Sitting casually on the sofa with Angela, he simply cast a cold glance at Ethan and his family without saying a word. 

Furrowing her brows, Angela shifted her gaze to Howard. “Mr. Sims, your son was the one who made a mistake, not you. You don’t need to do this.” 

Mr. Sims is innocent. The one who started a feud with me was Howard. At least for now, I harbor no ill will toward the other members of the Sims Family. 

Upon hearing that, Ethan eased up a little. Mrs. Lawson appears youthful, so she should be approachable. 

With this thought in mind, he nudged Howard forward. “Howard, apologize to Mrs. Lawson.” 

Although Howard was reluctant, he knew he had to express plenty of sincerity now that he was here. Hence, with a somewhat courteous tone, he said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have hit you that day.” 

Angela raised an eyebrow, for his apology seemed insincere to her. 

At this moment, Violet took the opportunity to present the gifts they brought. “Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, these are the small token of our appreciation. Please accept them.” 

After placing the gifts, Violet stole several regretful glances at them. 

Of course, Angela noticed all these subtle gestures. 

How interesting. Why bother coming here to apologize if they are so reluctant to give me these gifts? 

Moreover, gifts blind the eyes. 

Well–I have no use for these expensive yet merely for show gifts. 

Angela shook her head, her voice still sounding gentle. “I don’t need these. You can take them. back.” 

Despite feeling pleased, Violet somewhat awkwardly expressed. “Oh, we can’t do that. Mrs. Lawson, what would you like? We can figure out something else.” 

At once, Ethan glanced at the shallow–minded Violet. However, he couldn’t do much as now was truly not the right time. Otherwise, he would have scolded her without hesitation. 

1/2 

Since the family business was already declining when I married Violet, she naturally endured numerous derisions and mockery. So, despite our family’s growing wealth, she still can’t change the things that give her a sense of pride. 

In fact, she is slightly frugal. 

Angela shook her head. “I insist. I don’t need it.” 

As she spoke, she turned to Howard. “Are you sure you’re genuinely here to apologize today? If not, please leave. Our time is valuable.”
