Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 313

Everyone thought that Ian would blow a fuse, given how Penny had really pushed the envelope.

Since Carlene was Mr. Raymond's girlfriend, she should've been the one to put the kibosh on the whole thing.

Carlene gave Ian's sleeve a little tug, her voice filled with a mix of pleading and a bit of coquettish charm.

"Ian, Dana is actually the victim..."

Before she could finish her spiel, Ian cut her off with an icy tone.

"You apologize to her."

Carlene's gentle expression instantly froze; she thought she might have heard wrong.

Everyone else was on the same page, all keeping mum, no one daring to pipe up and ask what the heck was going on.

Thinking Ian was siding with her, Dana tearfully started dabbing at her eyes.

"Penny, did you hear that? Ian's telling you to apologize to me."

Really?

Maja shot Ian a puzzled look; momentarily, she thought he was telling Dana to apologize.

Then everyone else cottoned on, and Ian was actually telling Penny to make amends.

They all knew it; Penny was definitely in for a rough ride today.

Ian looked down at Dana.

"I'm telling you to apologize."

That comment was like a punch in the gut to Dana's last shred of dignity.

Her face drained of color; she trembled and stared at Ian in disbelief.

Carlene was there, but he was making her apologize to Penny.

Carlene felt like she'd been sucker-punched too. Ian making Dana apologize was like putting her on the spot.

Her hand slowly clenched into a fist. But she's always been the patient type, quickly flashing a smile.

"Actually, Dana, you are in the wrong here. Maybe the bodyguard did mess up the names, but you are staying silent. That’s misleading everyone. You should apologize to Penny."
