Chapter 146
“Huh?!” James” jaw dropped to
the floor looking at the representatives from the Hummer family kneeling
toward him.
Everyone’s eyes were as big as saucers as they stared in disbelief.
Who would’ve thought that the high and mighty Hummer family would ever kneel toward them in their li
ves?
Were these mega–
bigshots ever this humble before? What was wrong with them today? Were they sick or something?
“What’s happening? Didn’t the Hummerse to retaliate? Why are they all kneeling?”
“What are the Hummers doing? This isn’t some kind of reverse psychology tactic, right?”
“Something’s fishy here. I think this is part of their n!”
As the Nicholsons continued to stare at the Hummers who were kneeling in front of
them, not only were they not the least bit happy about this, but this even frightened them tremendously.
Some of their legs even gave out as time passed. That was because the scene in front of them was to
o overwhelming for them to handle.
To think that a mega bigshot would kneel for them? They couldn’t even see it happening in their dream
s.
“Forgive me. Ms. Nicholson. The Hummers were the ones who were at faultst night. Thus, we are ga
thered here today for the youngdy to offer her sincere apologies to you in person. I hope you can for
give us, Ms. Nicholson.” After Fletcher took the lead and spoke up, he immediately bent down and kne
eled on the ground
with the utmost sincerity.
“Our sincere apologies, Ms. Nicholson!” The representatives from the Hummer family shouted. All of th
em kneeled in unison afterward, without much thought for their reputation.
Such a turn of events dumbfounded the Nicholsons yet again. So, it was true! The Hummers were apol
ogizing
to them!
But the question now was, why?
“W–
why are you all? What is going on, Mr. Lawson?” Dahlia stuttered while lying on her hospital bed. She
was
so antsy about the situation that she immediately got out of bed.
Weren’t they here for revenge? Why were they kneeling toward her?
“The Hummers aren’t unreasonable people. We admit our mistakes when we’ve done wrong, so we h
ope that you can forgive us for our trespasses, Ms. Nicholson, Fletcher replied with his head lowered.
“What are you talking about, Mr. Lawson? Please get up quickly! I’m afraid there has been a
misunderstanding. We’d already be d if the matter was dropped entirely. What other reason do we h
ave to use the Hummer family of?” Florence apologized profusely with a big smile after she came
to her senses.
“Yes, she’s right! Please get up from the floor, Mr. Lawson!” The Nicholsons were still in a state of shoc
k even
now.
To them, it was already a huge relief that the Hummers were willing to let the matter slide. They wouldn’
t ever have the guts to coerce them into apologizing to them.
“As long as you continue to refuse to ept our apology, we’ll continue kneeling like this until the end
of time. Ms. Nicholson.” Fletcher insisted stubbornly.
“Please get off the floor, Mr. Lawson. Let’s just pretend none of this ever happened, alright? Dahlia spl
uttered. somewhat at a loss for words.
Even though Tina was the one who was at fault, she ended up being the one who suffered more sever
e injuries
than Dahlia.
While she was expected to recover in about three to five days, she doubted if Tina could even get out o
f bed by herself without resting in bed for hall a month first.
This was the main reason she was so speechless when she heard that Tina, a member of the
usually pigheaded Hummer family, was even going to apologize to her.
“Thank you, Ms. Nicholson, for being so kind to us!” Fletcher eximed as his face lit up with joy. He pr
oceeded to give her a bow before gesturing for the representatives from the Hummer family to get up of
f the
floor.
“This is great. So it was a misunderstanding, after all. We should be fine now.” Florence let cut a long si
gh of
relief.
Although she didn’t know what had just happened, it was obvious that they managed to tide through thi
s time
of crisis unscathed.
“That’s right! Peace and harmony bring wealth, after all!” James grinned, even though his back was dre
nched
in a cold sweat.
Just when everyone thought that they were sale, Dustin suddenly spoke out, “Wait a minute. Tina was t
he one who beat Dahlia up, so it’s only fair that she apologize too,”
The crowd immediately burst into an uproar the moment they heard that. Some of the representatives fr
om the Hummer family started exchanging nces with frowns on their faces.
Meanwhile, it felt as if the Nicholsons had been struck by lightning, as all of them remained frozen on th
e spot.
Was that man batshit crazy?!
The Hummers had already announced that they nned to drop the matter entirely, so why was it that
this man still insisted on courting death on their behall?
It was one thing to beat her up and cause such a huge disaster to happen in the first ce, so why did
he still insist on getting an apology out of Ms. Hummer when the Hummers had already decided to drop
the matter?
The fucking audacity of this bastard!
“Rhys! Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? If you don’t know what to say, then shut up!” Th
e moment she reeled back from her shock, Florence barked at him out of fear,
“You little shit! If you want to fucking kick the bucket so much, why don’t you keep us out of this!” Jam
es
cursed and felt like going up to him to throw hands.
“Some balls you got. Rhys! The Hummers let you off by the grace of their hearts, and yet you still dare
to say that so shamelessly! Do you want to die so badly?”
To them, Dustin was a lunatic who spouted nonsense. Both parties had already
reconciled with one another, so why bother stirring up trouble again?
What if this angered the Hummers? Then, who would be the one to take the fall?
“Is it not right to seek an apology from someone who beat you up? Am I wrong?” Dustin asked inly.
“Shut the fuck up, Rhys! You’re a nuisance. You’re going to get us killed!” Florence jumped to her feet

and
cursed.
“Dustin! Please stop this, okay?” Dahlia pleaded as she broke out in a cold sweat too.
She hadn’t expected the man in front of her to spew such outrageous words from his mouth in their curr
ent predicament.
“Fine. I’ll shut up. I’ll leave the rest up to all of you,” Dustin replied. Without saying anything more, he re
treated to a corner, by his own admission.
“I think his brain must have been fried, Ms. Hummer. Thus, you shouldn’t pay him any mind.” Florence i
mmediately lunged forward to apologize, as she was afraid of offending the Hummer family.
“Yes, yes! This guy is a psychopath. He no longer has dealings with the Nicholsons.” James was also f
ull of smiles as he feigned humility.
However, instead of feeling any sort of relief, the representatives from the Hummer family turned
extraordinarily gloomy instead.
After Fletcher whispered a few words to Tina, who was nearly fully paralyzed in her wheelchair, Tina gri
tted her teeth and finally opened her mouth to croak something.
1–I’m sorry…it was all my fault,” She said, out of breath.
The whole room fell dead silent the moment she finished.
Florence and the rest were even more shell–
shocked, as their expressions immediately twisted into shock.
Did the spoiled youngdy of the Hummers, the one who called all the shots in Swinton, actually just ap
ologize?
