Edward was obviously playing dumb, which was the opposite of Pabian. Last time, at the splace, he had

stopped Fathan, but Fabian was much more straightforward and didn’t beat around the bnh.

The smile on Quinita’s face vanished the moment she heard Edward address the man in front of her as Mr.

Jansen. Her gaze landed on Rebecca behind him, her brows furrowing. “So you're the Janssen family members

Her tone was unkind. After all, no mother could be nice to someone who had hurt her child.

“Yes, my nis Denzel, and this is my wife. We are Bianca's parents, Denzel’s expression turned somber when

he mentioned Bianca, as if it pained him to speak her name.

The nBianca was difficult for him to utter. It wouldn't have mattered if he were facing anyone else, but in

front of the Evans family, he couldn’t bring himself to feel at ease,

Quinita asked, “Bianca, the girl who bullied my daughter?”

Denzel nodded in response to Quinita’s words. “Yes, it was our daughter who was in the wrong As her father, |

failed my duty. | apologize on her behalf to you.”

“To us?” Quinita scoffed. “It was my daughter who got hurt. Don’t tellyou don’t know who you should

apologize to, Mr. Janssen.”

Denzel's gaze fell on Elysia at her words. Though he had already apologized once, since Quinita wanted him to

apologize again, he would do so.

“Ms. Evans, I'm sorry.” His voice was heavy, as if laden with effort.

Elysia looked at the middle-aged man bowing his head before her, her eyes darkened. She had heard about

Denzel's character, but she didn’t expect such an upright person to raise such a daughter.

She could guess what they were after this time. She thought, ‘Now that Bianca is in jail, they couldn't sit still,

could they?”

Elysia said, “Even if you say you're sorry a hundred times, can it offset what Bianca did? Your apology means

nothing.

“Mr. Janssen, don't tellthat with just those words, | will erase everything that has happened and say it

doesn’t matter.”

When she said the last three words, Elysia’s eyes were a little colder, and her brows were lightly raised. Denzel

would understand what she meant.

It was clear that she was saying that no matter how many times he apologized or how sincere his apology was,

she would not forgive Bianca, nor would she let Bianca go.

Elysia really meant it, but the reason she said that was because she didn’t want Denzel to tell her family what

Bianca had done to her. It wasn’t for the Janssen family’s sake, but because she didn’t want her family to worry.

She thought that Denzel would give up after hearing what she meant, but she still underestimated Denzel’s

desire to save his daughter.

Even if he knew there was no hope, he would still try his best.

Denzel knelt down on his knees. Everyone present was shocked. Gone was the once high-spirited man-now, he

was merely a haggard father.

Rebecca didn’t stop him. Instead, she knelt down right beside him. The sight of the couple kneeling together was

so striking that everyone was stunned. In an instant, people were pulling out their phones to take pictures.

Such a commotion was bound to alert the hotel manager Fanen synated to tom, and a group of worry guards

swarmed in, threatening to throw the onlookers out. The crowd was dently dissatisfied.

“We paid to stay here. What's the dead with kicking our

“That's right. People with money are different. They can kick whoever they want. Are they trying to lock us our to

do something shady?”

1 recognize them, especially that young lady, she’s the one who went sind on Twitter before, the Evans family’s

long-lost daughter

“Oh, I didn’t expect to see someone from the Evans family in a small place like this. What a surprise?

The crowd's dissatisfaction grew louder. Elysis turned to Fabian, “Fabien, you don’t have to make them leave.

Sthings should be dealt with face-to-face

She knew that if these people were really kicked out today, tomorrow’s headlines would be about the Evans

family bullying people,

Fabian knew the consequences of kicking these people out, but compared to his sister having to endure such

tremendous pressure, the consequences were nothing,

Just as he was about to refuse, he saw the faint glow in Elysia’s eyes and hesitated.

Elysia said, “Fabian, | can handle it. Trust me. These simple words weighed heavily on Fabian’s heart

His gaze swept over the group of people behind him. He thought, If | really drive them out, won't it indirectly

mean that 1 don’t believe Elysia can handle it? He wouldn't undermine his sister's confidence.

He decided to let her handle it. After all, there were so many people here; they wouldn't just stand by and watch

her get bullied. Meeting Elysia’s eyes, Fabian nodded firmly in response, his gaze filled with seriousness.

Then he turned to the hotel manager beside him and whispered a few instructions. Immediately, the manager

turned around and stopped the security guards who were driving the crowd out.

Seeing that they finally didn’t have to leave, the crowd felt less resentful. They all stopped talking and looked

curiously at the people standing in the middle of the hall, like spectators waiting to watch a show.

The noisy room finally fell silent. Elysia looked down at Denzel, her voice icy. “Mr. and Mrs. Janssen, are you

trying to use public opinion to pressureby kneeling before everyone? Or are you truly remorseful, seeking

my forgiveness to spare your daughter?”

Without waiting for Denzel to speak, she continued, “Either way, being in the business world, Mr. Janssen, you

should know whether it is appropriate to do such a thing at this tand in this place.

“I never thought that the play of gaining sympathy could be so skillfully performed by you. Could it be that your

past integrity was all an act, Mr. Janssen? Is this your backbone?”

Hearing this, Denzel looked up at Elysia. Her eyes were filled with coldness that made him tremble. He couldn't

help but wonder if Elysia was really only eighteen years old.

Judging by appearance alone, he wouldn't have doubted it. But looking deeper, she seemed more mature than

most adults. No, that wasn't precise-she carried the presence of a true leader, exuding an innate aura of

dominance.

“Ms. Evans, |—" Before Denzel could finish his sentence, Rebecca said with a sob, “As parents, who don’t want to

see their children safe and sound?

“But my daughter, she was sent to that kind of place. If we don’t save her, her life will be ruined.”

After Rebecca said these words, she suddenly knelt down and tried to hug Elysia’s legs. Quinita quickly pulled

Elysia back and said bluntly, “Mrs. Janssen, what are you doing?”
