Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1871

In fact, it seemed like Stanley Batton genuinely adored Sophie Kenwick.

They were all doomed.

A few of the sales assistants stumbled their way over to them, bowing and apologizing, even the staff member who had first belittled Sophie.

She didn’t seem as arrogant as she was before. She was acting all humbled now.

Sophie couldn't resist rolling her eyes at these people, albeit impressed by how quickly their attitude changed.

“Mr. Batton, I'm sorry. We were blind not to see it.”

“Yes, we were wrong. I hope you and this pretty girl over here won’t hold a grudge against us.”

“Oh my god, it’s all just a misunderstanding. I’m sorry, Mr. Batton. I’m sorry to your sister, too.”

Everyone had started speaking all at once.

Soon, the wealthy women surrounded Stanley and Sophie, bowing and apologizing humbly.

Some even went down on their knees and pressed their palms together, seemingly genuine.

“Mr. Batton, Miss... we are truly sorry. Please don’t hold it against us.”

“Just think of us as ignorant fools.”

“Yes, please forgive us.”

While speaking, the other women present all went down on their knees and started slapping themselves to show how sorry they were.

The tides had turned.

“Offending my younger sister is not something that we can pardon with just an apology,” Stanley scoffed.
