    Chapter 1460


    Jaylene shook her head, as she held Darcie’s hand and struggled to sit up. Then, she looked at Ste.


    “Ste, I’m sorry. Although it wasn’t intentional, I know that you almost got into trouble because of the


    makeup artist. You might not believe anything I say, but I would still like to apologize to you. I’m sorry.”


    She bowed at Ste after saying those words, and tears welled up in her eyes when she raised her


    head back up.

    “I may not be dad’s biological daughter, but he raised me since I was a child. I’ve seen how much he


    missed you with my own eyes. I hope more than anyone that the banquet can be held smoothly so that


    Dad’s wish can finallye true. I’ll never be able to forgive myself if I’m the reason why the banquet


    went wrong.”


    After saying that, she got up and knelt on the bed, facing Wenham. She paid no attention to the needle


    on her face, as she said, “Dad, I’m sorry. I honestly had no idea that Michael was Ste’s makeup


    artist. I would’ve never hired him no matter what if I had known. I’m the reason why Ste could not get


    a makeup artist for the banquet. Please punish me.”


    Ste pursed her lips.


    On the other hand, Wenham had not found out what exactly happened.


    Then, Ste said, “Dad, it’s my fault. Michael was the one who stood me up and caused me the trouble


    of getting him reced at thest minute. I only found out that he epted Jaylene’s booking during


    the banquet and realized that he is a dishonorable person who prioritized people with a background.


    “I think we should just forget it. We’re all family, after all.


    Let’s not make a fuss over this. Jaylene was feeling very guilty over it, and she could not wait to rify


    things with me. In the end, she got so agitated that she fell ill.”


    Ste replied in a quivered voice, as tears fell out of her eyes like beads on a broken string. “I was so


    worried on the way here, and I couldn’t imagine what I would do if anything bad happened to Jaylene.


    It’s just a small matter anyway. It wouldn’t matter if Jaylene did that intentionally or not since everything


    had already happened, and the banquet ended smoothly. Why did I go after Michael to demand an


    exnation and make Jaylene misunderstand…”


    Perhaps Jaylene was shocked by how bitchy Ste sounded, and for a moment, she forgot to cry.


    Meanwhile, Ste’s tears continued to stream from her eyes. She was a professional in doing that, after


    all.


    “If I had known that this would cause Jaylene to fall sick, I would’ve just kept everything to myself and


    never mentioned a word to her.”


    Wenham’s heart broke when he saw his precious daughter shedding tears.


    Jaylene had always been a sensitive person and would cry


    just about anything. She would overthink a simple phrase that another person said and get upset over


    it.


    And people were more likely to ce their trust in those who mattered to them, so Wenham had


    complete faith in what Ste said.


    “You were stood up, so it’s perfectly reasonable for you to demand an exnation. Jaylene has always


    been a


    sensitive person who tends to overthink things anyway. It’s not your fault.”


    Jaylene’s face turned even paler. She clenched her fingers so tightly that they turned white.


    “Ste,” Darcie spoke. Although her eyes were still a little red, her expression had returned to normal. “I


    lost control just now. Jaylene is my only child, and she’s very fragile. I get very anxious whenever she


    falls sick, so I failed to fully understand what happened.


    “Jaylene could’ve handled this better, and she should’ve ensured that everything was in order before


    choosing a makeup artist for herself. She’ll be the only person to me if the banquet can’t be held


    smoothly because of this. It’s only right for her to apologize.”


    She took off her tinum bangle, as she spoke. “Ste, please ept this and forgive Jaylene. I hope


    you’ll like it.”


    Clearly, Darcie was trying to patch things up.


    If they were to pursue the matter further and it turned out that Jaylene had done it intentionally, things


    would be even worse. At that point, Wenham would definitely see


    Jaylene differently, and her image in his heart would be tarnished. So, Darcie figured that stopping


    everything there was the best way to handle the situation.


    But… would Ste be satisfied with just a bangle? 3
