His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 981

“I've done what you asked,” Arielle protested with a hesitant gaze at him. “What else do you want from me? To solve another question?”

“Not at all!” Marcus and Arthur hurriedly waved their hands, denying it.

Marcus explained, “Arielle, I would like you to know that throughout this ordeal, I, Professor Sleight, and the rest of the staff had never once doubted your talent. Mr. Baxter was the only one to have any suspicions toward you.”

Arthur nodded eagerly. “Mr. Brown is right. As per our agreement with Mr. Baxter, he has promised to publicly apologize to you if you were able to solve his three questions. It is time that he takes responsibility for what he has done, including the incident with Kelsea. Furthermore—” “No need for all of that,” Arielle cut him off with an airy wave of her hand. “I don't care about it anyway.”

What good would an apology do me? There are many things that apologies cannot make up for. Since I'm not going to give him my forgiveness, I'm not going to stand up here and listen to Donovan another second longer.

Arielle's indifference incensed Donovan's anger.

“What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?” he said furiously.

Arielle glanced up to meet Donovan's eyes with disdain. “How would I look down on you if I had never even deigned to notice you?”

Donovan scowled.

Despite being spared the humiliation of having to publicly apologize, her indifferent attitude toward him somehow hurt even more.

This feels like a harder slap to the face than when she successfully solved my three questions.

“Well...” Arielle turned away from Donovan to face Marcus. “I'll be heading back to my seat, then.”
