Chapter 29 Outwitted by Eleanor
Michael felt a shiver in his heart as he looked at Sebastian. He couldn't figure out why things had gone wrong, as it had all seemed within his control.
Sebastian looked at Michael and Madison and demanded, "Apologize to my wife before you leave."
Eleanor was momentarily surprised. Did he just acknowledge her as his wife in front of all these people?
Michael clenched his fists tightly and was reluctant to apologize to Eleanor. Who did she think she was?
However, Madison knew that things would only get worse if this continued.
She walked up to Eleanor, forced a smile on her face, and apologized, "Eleanor, it's all a big misunderstanding tonight. I'm sorry! Please don't take it to heart."
Without giving Eleanor a chance to respond, Madison pulled her son towards Eleanor and pinched Michael's hand. She urged, "Apologize to your aunt now."
Michael knew that this apology would ruin his self esteem, but he also feared Sebastian and the people around him.
The Moore Empire wasn't something he could obtain easily. He might be eliminated by Sebastian before even laying his hand on it.
"Aunt, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you tonight," Michael apologized with his head lowered, though he was trying to maintain his pride. He felt humiliated to address her as aunt.
He vowed to get this back in the future.
He would also find out what happened tonight.
Eleanor put on a faint smile on her pretty face which appeared more attractive in the lights. She responded, "You've said that it was a misunderstanding. I won't hold a grudge. However, what about the young girl you harassed? With so many people as witnesses, how can she continue living with this stigma?"
Michael pursed his lips and glanced at the woman who was keeping her head down. His eyes flashed with murderous anger.
"Aunt, I'll take care of this," Michael said. He was going to destroy this woman for his family's eviction.
Nevertheless, it might work out in his favor.
Eleanor seemed concerned and asked, "How will you handle this? You have to explain your plan to everyone. Given that she was dragged into this because of me, I can't just stand by."
