Chapter 125
Amid an awkward atmosphere, Lula picked up a bottle of vintage wine and poured herself a full glass.
“Mr. Delbert, Miss Harriet, I did something wrong in the morning. I want to apologize to you here,” she
said, swallowing her pride.
When she looked at Delbert, she wore a smile on her face. But when it came to Harriet, her expression
became subtle, holding a hint of resentment deep in her
eyes.

She didn’t even pay Lula any attention.
The atmosphere in the private room became even more tense.
“Delbert, do something about your woman,” Marc said, trying to ease the tension.
As the organizer of the gathering, he didn’t want to see everyone fighting each other.
Unfortunately, his words only made the situation worse.
Everyone looked at him with different expressions.
The sadness in Molly’s eyes became thicker and would not dissipate no matter

Harriet was deliberately making things difficult, which greatly dissatisfied him.
“Harriet, that’s enough!” Marc warned with a frown.
With Marc backing her, Lula secretly smirked at Harriet.
She didn’t believe Delbert would spite his friend, Marc, for the sake of a woman.

The thought delighted her so much that she almost laughed out loud.
Unexpectedly, Delbert stuck to his principles, impervious to her innocent act.
“Marc, you know the rules. If she’s truly sorry, she must show it,” Delbert stated firmly. “If her apology is
not satisfying enough, I’ll have to leave with Harriet.”
