Chapter 942
Sean panicked and immediately
said, “Master Reed, it’s just a misunderstanding. Zoe is young and immature, so please forgive her.” Then, he shouted at Zoe who was still on the ground looking stunned, “Apologize!”
Zoe felt so aggrieved! ‘I got slapped, yet I still have to apologize!
‘But I have to admit defeat because I’m
facing Jason. After all, the Stevens family is nothing compared to Jason!
‘I got the news that Grace has moved out
of Reed Residence and is living in a small
rental house, so Jason must have dumped her. Why is… Jason defending
Grace?
‘Was it… Jason who brought Grace to the
banquet today?’
Zoe was full of doubts, but no one gave
her the answers.
She got up awkwardly and was about to
apologize when Grace said, “No thanks. I don’t need her apology.”
Zoe was stunned. ‘What does that mean?
I was about to apologize, but she…
“That’s true. Sis doesn’t need the
apology,” said Jason.
‘Sis?’ Sean was surprised. He had heard
Jason address Grace like that a long time ago. Later on, it seemed that Jason and
Grace began dating each other and he
never heard Jason call her that again.
‘Now… What does this mean?’
Sean was also full of doubts.
Zoe was even more embarra**ed now.
At first, she just wanted to apologize
and leave, but now that she could not
make an apology, she could only stand
there with a red and swollen face while
receiving strange gazes from all around.
This made her extremely miserable.
Lily came forward and said, “Although
Miss Cummins said there’s no need to
apologize, it was Zoe’s fault after all.
How about this? Why don’t the Stevens
family donate money to the children in the disaster area under your name, Miss
Cummins? What do you think of that,
Miss Cummins?”
Lily’s approach helped Zoe solve the
awkward problem of apologizing
and gave the Stevens family a good reputation. Both parties would benefit
from it.
Zoe was eager to agree. ‘It’s just spending some money. It’s better than keeping me here awkwardly!’
Grace turned her gaze to the tray in Jason’s hand. “Is that for me?”
“Yes,” answered Jason.
“What about yours?”
“I ate some earlier.”
The two chatted like no one else was
there, treating Lily and the Stevens siblings like they were invisible.
Lily’s expression changed immediately.
No one dared to ignore her, the second daughter of the Atkinson family!
“Then eat first. Put some food into your
stomach,” said Jason, placing the tray of food on a nearby table as he sat down
with Grace.
The other three stayed put.
“What’s the matter? How long do you
plan to stand there?” Jason asked lazily.
Sean then hurriedly left with Lily and
Zoe.
Fa
The three were not in the mood to stay at the banquet anymore. They had become a laughing stock. Staying around would only embarra** them further.
