As Matthias wasn't restrained in any way, that was the best opportunity for him to hurt Arielle.
Although Matthias was badly injured and didn't seem to pose any more harm than Arielle could manage, Vinson couldn't help but take precautions.
He wasn't going to let Arielle take any risk at all.
However, Matthias stopped after taking two steps forward. Facing Arielle who was behind Vinson, he remarked, “Ms. Moore, everything that happened before was my mistake. I was foolishly manipulated by this woman. Therefore, I would like to apologize for all the harm I have caused you.
Cindy's eyes widened in shock when she heard Matthias' words.
It was unacceptable to her that Matthias was looking to side with Arielle.
“Matthias, you...”
Vinson quipped, “She's too noisy.”
The bodyguard then stuffed Cindy's mouth with the gag from earlier, shutting her up.
Ignoring Cindy, Arielle stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with
Vinson.
When she sensed the sincerity in Matthias' apology, her expression softened.
Nevertheless, she wasn't a saint. There was no way an apology could make up for everything that happened.
She replied indifferently, “An apology is insufficient to clear the slate. If not for my vigilance, Yvette would have taken the drug you tried to feed her. After all that you've done, you deserved to be punished.”
“I'm aware of that.” Matthias nodded with a remorseful expression. “I don't expect you to forgive me. Nevertheless, I'm willing to compensate you for your loss.”
Arielle raised her eyebrows. “How?”
“By giving you all of Cindy's assets overseas.
