    Chapter 125


    Amid an awkward atmosphere, L picked up a bottle of vintage wine and poured herself a full ss.


    “Mr. Delbert, Miss Harriet, | did something wrong in the morning. | want to apologize to you here,” she said, swallowing her pride.


    When she looked at Delbert, she wore a smile on her face. But when it came to Harriet, her expression became subtle, holding a


    hint of resentment deep in her


    eyes.


    She didn’t forget how she had ended up in the hospital earlier.


    The scar was still visible on her forehead, concealed by the foundation. It served as a constant reminder that she must return this


    grudge in full.


    “What if | don’t want to forgive you?” Harriet said, having no intention of forgiving.


    She didn’t even pay L any attention.


    The atmosphere in the private room became even more tense.


    “Delbert, do something about your woman,” Marc said, trying to ease the tension.


    As the organizer of the gathering, he didn’t want to see everyone fighting each other.


    Unfortunately, his words only made the situation worse.


    Everyone looked at him with different expressions.


    The sadness in Molly’s eyes became thicker and would not dissipate no matter


    what.


    “It''s alright, Marc. To show my sincerity in apologizing, I''ll drink three cups first. “L pretended to be understanding, smiled


    slightly, and continued drinking.


    She had a good tolerance for alcohol, but after drinking three cups, she pretended to be weak and fell into Marc’s arms.


    Marc instinctively nced at Molly, who remained silent and uninterested.


    Upon hearing that, she didn’t even bat an eyelid.

    It somehow gave Marc a stifling feeling. He looked down at L and stiffened.


    The air was heavy with L’s perfume, something not as pleasant as Molly''s subtle scent. He felt an itch in his nose and wanted


    to sneeze.


    “Sorry, | can’t drink anymore. Miss Harriet, forgive my earlier words,” L said daintily.


    Harriet, nestled in Delbert’s arms, observed her with a cold stare.


    L could hold liquor, and her act couldn''t foo! Harriet.


    Marc understood that if Harriet stood firm, Delbert would side with her.


    He’d heard L exin the situation over the phone earlier. She had shed with Harriet over her mother and consequently


    offended Delbert.


    ‘Itisn’t a big deal. Why does Harriet insist on fussing over it?’ He wondered.


    Harriet was deliberately making things difficult, which greatly dissatisfied him.


    “Harriet, that’s enough!” Marc warned with a frown.


    With Marc backing her, L secretly smirked at Harriet.


    She didn’t believe Delbert would spite his friend, Marc, for the sake of a woman.


    She believed that Delbert would only chide Harriet.


    The thought delighted her so much that she almostughed out loud.


    Unexpectedly, Delbert stuck to his principles, impervious to her innocent act.


    “Marc, you know the rules. If she’s truly sorry, she must show it,” Delbert stated firmly. “If her apology is not satisfying enough, I''ll


    have to leave with Harriet.”Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
