“I've told you time and again, if you really like someone, you gotta chase her fearlessly. But if she gives you the cold shoulder, you gotta stop bugging her, and certainly not do something as appalling as today."
Cameron asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Granger raised his hand and slapped Cameron, with such force that a clear handprint appeared on Cameron's face.
Again, Cameron asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Granger yelled, "You moron! You're grown up and you're still pulling such bonehead moves. Apologize to Ms. Stewart right now and beg her forgiveness."
Cameron started, "Dad..."
Granger slapped him again, "I said apologize!"
He leaned into Cameron, lowering his voice, "Cornelia may have already slept with Marcus... This could have serious repercussions. Apologize to her now, and we'll settle the score with her after Marcus ditches her."
Cameron didn't fancy apologizing to an assistant, but he had no choice now that his own father was demanding it, "Ms. Stewart, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have believed that woman and misunderstood you. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
The woman in black standing nearby looked flabbergasted. It was him who had asked her to slander Cornelia, but now it was being pinned on her.
The woman in black never imagined that even worse things were waiting for her.
Granger said, "Although you were misled, you are also at fault... Sir, this woman has a history of misdeeds, and I have evidence. You can take her away."
