Chapter 300
“Edith, I know you’re upset, but the incident has happened. Try to come to terms with it.” Margot pulled Ysabelle aside from behind her and continued, “Edith, it’s our fault. We didn’t take care of you. We’re here to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive us, please?”
Meredith still did not move.
Margot hinted at Ysabelle to say something. Ysabelle cleared her throat and said rather insincerely, “I’m sorry, I was wrong.” Meredith finally slowly turned around. She said emotionlessly, “Who are you?”
Thud!
Margot and Ysabelle knelt on the ground. Their tears fell, looking sincere. “Edith. I know you’re angry. We really understood that we made a mistake. Please forgive us. We are still family, after all, please?” “Edith, you can just not do anything. If Josiah were to continue this way, the Leightons are finished. We will be finished too. You will no longer have any family or a home.” “Edith, didn’t you always say that the Leightons belonged to your mother? Could you bear to see your mother’s Leightons fall?” Margot moved forward and grabbed Meredith’s hands.” Edith, I beg you. Please save the Leightons…” “What do the Leightons have anything to do with me? Why should I rescue them?” Meredith looked at her. She looked lost. Margot nodded, tears falling. “I know. I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have kicked you and your mother out. I know that I was wrong.”
Margot pulled Ysabelle to kneel together with her. Then she pinched Ysabelle on the arm. Ysabelle said reluctantly, “Me too. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have hurt you and Nia, killing Nia..
Her initial lost expressions were slowly replaced by shock, then fear and sadness.
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Meredith suddenly yelled at Margot and Ysabelle.” Since when has Nia died! She is still doing well!”
