Jessica cried her eyes out.
But no one showed sympathy for her, except Mr. Kawn.
And their gaze at her were full of disdain.
After all, just now, she persuaded Misty to admit the guilt. If Misty did, she would intercede for Misty to gain everybody's favor
If a person like her made it and no one found out the truth, the result would be horrible.
Therefore, everyone expressed contempt for Jessica.
When Natalia came to speak for Misty, Archie had known the truth.
Since Natalia had stood out to nail Jessica's lies, he would only sit back and do nothing.
The old Mr. McCarthy and the old Mrs. McCarthy were astonished and angry about the truth.
They just wanted to dismember Jessica.
Due to a grudge between Jessica and Natalia, they disliked Jessica. They did nothing to punish Jessica because she was Mr. Kawn's granddaughter.
They never thought she'd be mad enough to deal with a child!
The old Mr. McCarthy said in a deep voice, "Mr. Kawn, she's your granddaughter. I'll just get to the point. Anne is the only grandchild of the McCarthy family. We're all protective of her. Today she got frightened. I dislike making a fuss. I just can't stand my granddaughter being bullied. Just tell me what you'll do."
Mr. Kawn didn't look well.
He never thought that it was Jessica's fault.
He couldn't blame Jessica in front of so many people.
After all, he made a lot of efforts to find her granddaughter. Everyone knew that he was about to introduce the identity of Jessica to everyone on his birthday party. If he embarrassed Jessica in public, he would put himself in an awkward situation.
Therefore, Mr. Kawn said with a sullen face, "Jessica did make a mistake. I'll let her apologize to you."
Then he hinted at Jessica.
Jessica hurried forward and cried, "Natalia, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that to Anne or escaped when she fell into the pool. I'm sorry."
Then she turned her head and said to Anne, "Anne, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to have fun with you. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?"
When Jessica apologized to a child, it did impress everyone.
At least, someone felt sympathetic to Jessica when she apologized humbly to the mother and daughter.
Soon, some men spoke for her.
"Mrs. McCarthy, Jessica didn't mean it. Anne is alright and you're sisters. Just let it go."
"Yes, she has apologized."
"Today is a happy day. Let's enjoy ourselves and forget about it."
Mr. Kawn looked at Natalia expectantly.
He knew that only Natalia's forgiveness worked since Anne was her daughter.
It must be Archie and Natalia that forgave Natalia.
Natalia sat there, lowered her head and twisted her ring with a faint smile.
"Do you think that an apology can solve the problem?"
