The woman had worked very hard to get close to Gary Lakes, and she couldn’t let her efforts go to waste.
Even if they had to break up, she needed to get what she deserved first.
How much had she earned from him at this point?
It was far from enough.
The more she thought about it, the more remorseful she felt.
Sophie Kenwick had asked her to apologize. Things would have been fine if she had done that.
She was in the wrong, for a start.
Why did she have to bully Sophie just because she thought she was more powerful?
If she had apologized earlier, this incident wouldn’t have happened.
Apart from breaking up with Gary, she was more worried that she might be offending Stanley Batton.
Stanley adored Sophie, even treated her like his biological sister.
What if he got angry at her for bullying his sister? Would she still be able to survive?
The more she thought it over, the more troubled she was.
Looking down at her feet, she took a deep breath and began stammering. “Also, to this pretty lady over here, I’m truly sorry. I was ignorant, and I’d like to apologize for what I did. Please forgive me.”
At this moment, her arrogant demeanor had vanished.
On the contrary, she seemed very humble.
Sophie raised her brows coldly. “Forget it, I can’t be bothered to deal with you, but I hope you won’t do something like this again. You should behave like a mature adult.”
Sophie shook her head again when she heard this. “It’s fine, I will be all right on my own.”
She genuinely wasn’t worried about causing trouble and certainly didn’t need any help.
However, Gary insisted. “Alright, let’s go. Get in the car.”
Sophie could not protest.
Unable to refuse his kindness, Sophie had no choice but to nod and follow him into his car.
Gary sat on the driver’s seat while she sat beside him in the two-seater car. There was no space left for the woman who came with him.
Nevertheless, Sophie did not bother to ask on her behalf as she didn't deserve her attention.
Seeing that Gary would soon leave, the woman quickly ran over to his side of the car and tried to open the door.
