Sebastian was pleased with Linda's apology. He looked at Rowane and said, "Miss Zanes, no matter who is at fault, Milton Group will take the necessary responsibility for today's matter. We shall send you to the hospital for a check-up to see if you are hurt. We will also issue the necessary disciplinary actions on both Linda and Arianna. Please forgive us!"
I was a bit stunned by his statement. I wanted to ask why, but under Hendrix's strict gaze, I shut up.
Then, Sebastian looked at me and said hesitatingly, "Miss Reid, no matter who is at fault, this is the Milton Group's premises. Any visitor is a guest. You shouldn't have offended Miss Zanes this way!"
Then, I caught Linda winking at me, and I was at a loss for a moment before I quickly turned to Rowane. Similar to Linda, I began apologizing sincerely.
In this way, Rowane couldn't keep a straight face. Originally, she wanted to win everyone's sympathy by pretending to be a victim.
But after both apologies, Linda pulled up her sleeves, and the part of her arm where she had been scratched was exposed.
She looked at Rowane and said, "Miss Zanes, you're not the only one who's injured. Arianna and I are also injured. You know how long your nails are. You scratched Arianna's neck, face, and hands too, and you really exerted a lot of strength! Just because you are weeping so pitifully does not mean you are the victim!"
"Yes, you are a business partner from the Robert's Group. To our company, you are a guest, and so Arianna and I apologized to you. But we all know in our hearts who was actually to blame. So, please do not go over the top!"
After that, she looked at Sebastian without a trace of her previous servile attitude. She said, "Mr. Milton, well take our leave now!"
Then, she dragged me away.
But my wrist was grabbed by Hendrix. From the start, he had been silent. At this time, he was holding me, and his eyes were dark and gloomy.
I couldn't figure out what he would do. I looked at Linda and said, "Linda, you go to deal with your wounds first!"
Linda was slightly shocked when she saw this, then nodded and left.
Sebastian looked at Hendrix and then at Rowane, who was sitting on the ground in a dishevelled manner. He didn't say anything but continued to stare at Hendrix.
