Chapter 1729 I'm Sorry

"No." Without any hesitation, Margot looked at Lance and said, "Mr. Inkling, what were the conditions we agreed on before?" Lance's expression grew cold. "Ms. Zimmerman, a wise man would let it go. After all, we might meet again in the future. You are my brother's girlfriend, and, in the end, we're still family." Margot's smile faded. "Do you truly consider me as a family? When the ring went missing, your first reaction wasn't to carefully search for it but to blame me instead. And from the video, I find it hard not to suspect that it was intentional." She paused and continued, "You're telling me to let it go. But would you have done the same? You wanted to report me to the police and have them arrest me. Haha! Mr. Inkling, your change of attitude is faster than the changing of seasons." She was relentlessly confronting Lance, and his face grew increasingly unpleasant. He felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation and an intense desire to kill her. A cold, piercing gaze landed on him, and Lance shivered. It was Benjamin, who was looking at him coldly. Margot said indifferently, "Mr. Inkling, let's stick to the terms we have agreed upon. Don't let the people from Rastone think lowly of the Inkling family!" Lance clenched his fists. He was between a rock and a hard place. But the words had gotten out. Although there weren't many people here, the news would still spread if this matter wasn't resolved quickly. He feared the news would have already reached Londsville by the time he returned there. Lance's eyes were filled with gloom. He seethed through gritted teeth, "Fine, I apologize." He turned around and looked at everyone present. He approached each person, saying, "I am the blind fool who wrongly accused Ms. Zimmerman." Lance went around telling each person. His face grew increasingly unpleasant. Each time he stood before a person, he would glare down at them as if trying to kill them. Although there were only about a dozen people here, for Lance, it felt like an eternity. After saying it to everyone, he looked at Margot. "Are you satisfied now?" Margot nodded. "Yes, I can see Mr. Inkling's sincerity now. So, I'll forgive you." With that, she took Benjamin's arm and smiled. "I'm hungry. Let's go eat." "Alright," Benjamin responded and left with her. The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Lance and Barbara at the dressing room entrance. Barbara stood to the side with a pale face, looking at Lance in fear. Lance's face was all shades of red. He abruptly turned and looked at Barbara. He stomped over and slapped her across the face. "You useless bitch!" Barbara cried out in shock as the slap sent her crashing into a nearby table. "I'm sorry ... I know I was wrong. Please don't hit me again …" Barbara fell to the ground, apologizing with fear in her eyes. Lance hissed, "You can't even handle such a simple matter. What's the use of keeping you by my side?" Barbara immediately crawled over and clutched Lance's leg. "Lance, please give me one more chance. I can make amends. Please, I beg you ..." She bawled her eyes out at Lance's feet. From Lance's perspective, it seemed as if she were a loyal dog.
